Katana's Revenge

Just Say...Yes

Song: The one by Kodaline

I thought that would be it for my birthday surprise that is but I was wrong. We don't go back to Atlanta. Instead the plane flies us to the east coast and to my surprise we are at the coast. The driver takes us right to the pier. Vincent gets out first and holds his hand out for me. The pier is loaded with all sorts of boats and of course all different sizes.

I wonder which one is his and we come to the end of one of the piers he holds out his arm like one of those ladies from the Price is Right. I just know my eyes grow wider with disbelief. "This is yours?"

"Yes." He holds onto my hand as we walk along the side. 'Sogni d'oro' is written on the back part of it. Before I even ask he tells me. "It says...Sweet Dreams." He climbs aboard and reaches out for my hand to follow.

"Cool."

We walk on over to the middle part and to my surprise my dad is sitting on the sofa with Marcie. I feel my smile grow wider with excitement. I let go of Vincent and run over to my dad. By the time he stands up, I am already in his arms.

"Oh...my goodness. what are you doing here?" I say in shock.

He grunts and when he pulls away from me he looks at Vincent and back at me. "This fellow here wouldn't take no for an answer. Said you were missing me a little and it is your birthday sweetheart. So here we are." He motions at Marcie and then leans over to shake Vincent's hand.

"I am so stoked! This is going to be so much fun." I hug Marcie and then walk back over to Vincent. "Thanks for this; really how did you even plan this?"

"You know I have my ways."  He flashes a smile at me.

His arm rest around my hips. "Yeah...but how did you get my dad's number?"

"You have him down for an emergency contact on your application. I called him up and well here they are."

I hear a scream off to the side and we all turn to look at who could be yelling and it's no other than ReAnn. She lets go of Gabe to run into my arms. As I am hugging her, I glare at Vincent. Seriously only he would think of those who mean the most to me.

As the yacht leaves the pier, everyone gets comfortable. Vincent and Gabe are off talking to the side, so I hang out with ReAnn. When she leaves to go find the bathroom, I walk over to the edge and look out at the spectacular view. My dad walks over to me and stands beside me. At first he takes in the view without saying anything and then he glances at me.

"So...who is this guy, Vincent...anyway; I haven't heard you mention him before."

"Well, he owns a few restaurants and clubs in Atlanta." I look up at him and that is not what he wanted to hear. I roll my eyes. "Dad...he is a good man you don't need to worry."

"Just because he has all this and money doesn't mean he is a good man and how old is this guy anyway?"

"Dad he is only thirty-two and really he is a good guy."

He shakes his head at me. I don't think it's a bad thing but not a good thing either. "Katana are you in love with him or is this just one of those things?"

"Dad we have been seeing each other for almost a year now. And yes, I think I'm in love with him. And no it's not about the money; I think I would still love him because he cares about me and I know he would never hurt me."

"Sweetheart, I'm just looking out for you. You know that right?"

"I know."

He hugs me and I hear a grunt beside me. When I let go of my dad, Vincent is standing behind us."Everything ok?"
