Being Her Daddy | 18+

All's Faire Come Clean

Malia's POV

Waking up to someone rocking me would be my preferred choice, it was gentle and sweet. My eyes fluttered open before I realized what was happening.

"Your friend is downstairs in his car waiting for you."

I sat up and grabbed my purse, "How long was I out for?"

"About an hour and a half," he was kneeling in front of me putting my shoes on my feet. "Can I walk you out?" I nodded not wanting to say much my morning breath was kicking and punched me in my nose. I popped a piece of spearmint rain 5 gum in my mouth.

He helped me up and walked beside me, his eyebrows were furrowed and he said nothing but he had a scowl wrapped around his lips. "Whatever is troubling you would you like to talk about it?"

"No," he pressed the elevator button.

"Whatever it is I know you'll figure it out."

"I know I'll figure it out I just want to figure it out in time before anything else happens."

I knew I was going to regret this later but I still opened my mouth when we entered the elevator, "Would you like to come to the faire with us later on." Before he could respond I felt like I had made a mistake, "I mean you don't have to come with us if you don't want to but I just thought that if you-"

"I'd like that."

"I was surprised that you had your tattoos out-"

"Unless I have a meeting with an investor I've decided to stop wearing concealer to cover them."

"Are you happy," I don't know what possessed me but I was curious. Are you happy without me? He placed his hand in the nape of my back and led me to Wins' car.

"Not as happy as I could be," he said closing the door behind me.

"What was that about? Did you talk to him, he seemed pissed?"

"Not about that I think I'll talk to him later, I invited him to the carnival later."

"That's your call, did something happen when you were there?"

"Besides all these feelings that keep spilling out my mouth no," I felt embarrassed and immature. "I want to hide in my room and get wine drunk."

"You don't even like alcohol," he retorted.

"Well, tonight seems like a good night to start liking wine."

"Did you eat?"

"Yes," the rest of our ride was silent as we reached the house.

He walked into his old room and plopped on the bed, "My mom wants you to stay with us."

"My new home will be ready though and it's thirty minutes from the college." The room was dark blue and the sheets they brought me were white like fresh snow.

"Aren't you going to be bored over there alone?"

"If you want you could move in with me?" I started feeling uneasy, "I know you don't want to leave your mom and you haven't been applying to colleges but we can figure it out and you don't have to say anything now," I felt dumb. I've been speaking my mind all day and it felt like I was throwing up feelings whenever I wasn't throwing up stomach acid and food.

"My mom said that she's been dating.." He didn't say anything else but his face spoke for him.

"Okay, how do you feel about it?"

"I'm glad she isn't fucking with my dad anymore but I don't know y'know. I don't want my mother to get hurt and dudes don't change no matter their age. It's either they respect you from the jump or don't respect you at all. Oh and we're wearing yellow to the faire so I don't know if that's going to change your plans but we're bringing Phe and Nix with us. Lauren is downstairs waiting on us so hurry up."
