Daughter of the Guitarist

Chapter 24

What did I do? Was he going to break up with me? I could not think of anything I could have done. Did he not enjoy the sex? Was I bad in bed? I really hoped I was wrong.

"What is it, baby?" I asked hoping I sounded confident.

"I don't know how to say it." Brian said scratching the back of his neck.

"Just say it," I said fighting tears.

"Why is it this hard to say it?" He asked, "Isabella, I love you."

"What?" I asked letting the tears spill over.

"Isabella Jadyn Baker," Brian said, "I love you."

"I love you, too," I said smiling.

Brian wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me on his lap. His touch gave me butterflies and made my heart race. I lay my head against his chest sighing quietly.

"What's wrong, baby?" He asked holding me tighter.

"Nothing," I said, "this couldn't be more perfect "

Brian and I just sat there quietly holding each other. His arms wrapped tightly around my waist. I looked him in the eyes and touched his face. He sighed, touching my face, he pulled my face to his and kissed me passionately. Our lips moving in perfect sync with each other's.

"I love kissing you." I said smiling.

"I do too, baby." Brian said smiling.

"What do you like about me?" I asked.

"Your eyes, your smile, your hugs," he answered. "I love how cool you are; you're so confident. You're different from other girls I dated."

"How so?" I asked smiling.

"You're so laid back and down to earth." He answered smiling back and kissing my cheek. "You didn't freak out when u see me or scream. I liked how calm you were when you met me."

"I've never been the freak out type, not my style." I said kissing his cheek. "I saw it coming when Zacky adopted me, he's famous."

"I didn't think I would fall for his daughter, but I did." Brian said holding me to his chest again.

"I never thought I would fall for you, either, but I did." I said, "I've been in love with you for years, as a rock star, I mean."

"But?" Brian promoted.

"My love for you goes deeper than you think." I said holding him tighter. "I love you as a person, not just a rock star."

"I love you, too," he said. "I know you're young but you understand me."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"You see me as Brian, not Synyster Gates."

"I see you as the person you really are," I said, "not the rock star."

"That's why I love you so much," he said, "I can be myself around you; I don't have to hide."

"Brian, you should never hide who you truly r," I said. "You should always be yourself."

"I know," he said, "it's just hard."

"I love you," I said.

"I love u too, baby." Brian said standing up and putting me down. We went outside to smoke.

"What do you want for dinner?" Dad asked me.

"Chinese," I answered.

"Okay, I'll tell your mom." Dad said going inside.

Brian sat in a chair and pulled me on his lap. We smoked our cigarettes and went back inside.

"I'm gonna get going baby," Brian said, "I'll see you tomorrow."

"Okay, baby," I said, "I love you."

"I love you too," Brian said kissing me and leaving.

"Go get ready to leave," dad said.

I went to my room and got ready to leave. I put on my shoes and went downstairs.

"Are you ready," dad asked me.

I nodded, "Where's mom?"

"She's gonna stay here," he said, "so it'll just be the two of us."

"Okay, daddy." I said and we left.

We pulled up in front of Panda Express and went inside. I got fried rice and orange chicken; dad got lo mein noodles and general chicken. I got drinks while dad found a table.

"How are things with you and Brian?" Dad asked when I sat down.

"We're good," I answered," he told me he loved me."

"Do you love him, too?"

I nodded, "Yes, I really do, dad."

"I just don't wanna see you get hurt, Bella," dad said.

"He's not gonna hurt me, dad."

"I hope he doesn't," dad said, "I really don't."

After we ate dad said "I'm gonna get your mom dinner."

I nodded "Okay."

I went outside to smoke while I waited. Dad came out and lit one, too. "What did you get mom?" I asked.

"Same thing you got." Dad answered. "Are you ready?"

I nodded and we left. When we got home I went to my room and text Victoria.

Me: Hey girl what's up?

Victoria: Nothing much...you?

Me: Just got home

Victoria: Where did you go?

Me: Dad and I went out to dinner

Victoria: That's cool...where at?

Victoria: Yes he's taking me out to dinner Saturday night

Me: I hope you guys have fun

Victoria: I hope he asks me to be his girlfriend that'd be so amazing

Me: I hope so too if you want I can talk to him

Victoria: It's cool I got this

Me: OK I'm going to bed see ya tomorrow in class, night

Victoria: Nighty night :)

I lay in my bed and fell asleep.
