LULU'S POV
While I'm at work, I see my dad is calling.
I haven't spoken to him in a while unless it's regarding business.
I get up from my desk and go to the bathroom.
"Hello?" I ask picking up.
"Lulu." He said on the either end.
"Hi, dad." I said still unsure why he was calling.
"Lulu, honey we need to talk." He said.
"Okay. About what?" I asked.
"You and your friend, Ashton. Are you guys more than friends?" He asked.
"How'd you know?" I asked.
"It's on some celebrity website. A picture of you and him holding hands. Were you ever going to tell me? What about your mom? Were you ever going to tell her? We worry about you, sweetie." He said.
"Of course I was, dad! Of course I was going to tell you and mom-"
"Then why'd I find out from a website?" He asked cutting me off.
"I was going to tell you and mom when the time was right. I never meant for you to find out like this." I said.
"And when was the time going to be right, Lulu? Six months from now? When you two get engaged?" He asked.
"Dad, no. Listen-"
"Listen to what? You make excuses? You told us about Jake as soon as he asked you out. Why is Ashton so different?" He asked.
"Because we were holding out on telling people! I'm sorry you had to find out this way, dad. But we were doing it for our sake. I never meant to hide our relationship from you." I said.
The line went silent.
"Dad?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, Lulu. I didn't mean to get upset at you like that. It's just, you're my only daughter and I want to make sure you're safe. I love you, Lulu." He said.
"It's okay, dad. I love you too. I should've just told you when this started." I said.
"It's alright, Lulu. How about next weekend you bring him to Canada so we can properly meet this boy again?" He asked.
"I'd love to, dad." I said.
"See you next weekend. Love you, sweetie." He said.
"Love you too, pops." I said.
I went back to my work desk and texted Ashton.
