Daddy's princess

I wake up to a very good morning.
It being Saturday that means no school .
I don't want anyone saying am lazy cause am not.
Let's face it ,we all love weekends.
After a long week at school we all want to rest.

I do the usual ,pick the towel and walk into the shower.

After am done I choose to wear blue shorts and a black t-shirt.Take my phone and go downstairs for breakfast.

My parents being early risers they should be awake .They all have work today ,that means after breakfast I'll be alone in the house.

I walk into the kitchen and find my mother already setting the dinning table. Dad is also there but he is busy with his phone.

"Hey sleeping beauty ,how was your night? "  ,mother greets.

"My night was. .." , before I finish  My sentence am interrupted

"When were you going to tell us that you have a
boyfriend? " ,Dad questions as he stand up and crosses this hands on his chest.

Ooh my God I hope he isn't angry at me.who am I kidding, dad is furious.

"Dad ,how did you find out?",
I blurt out.

"You havent answered my question." ,my dad retorts .

I look at mum for help  but she is busy.I think she isn't angry at me.
This is going to be between father and daughter.

"Mmmm uhh I was. .....God... dad please don't be that way... ",  I stammer not knowing what to say.

"Sweetheart come
here ",mother calls showing me sit to sit next to dad.

"Your father was worried  when you were late yesterday. He had to sit and wait for you till you would come home safe.Only to see you being driven home by some guy .Who he saw you kiss in the car.Now your father here isn't angry at you just a little sad that another man other than him has finaly come into your life." Mother explains calmly .

I get it .
Dad has always been this way. The only constant man in my life.
Believe me not am super close to dad than mum.

" Dad ,mum ..Am sorry ..I ..I actually didn't know how I was supposed to tell you, being the first time am dating, I didn't know what to do about it . "I speak sincerely looking out for my mum and dad.
I hope they understand me ..

"Okay sweetheart it's no big deal .infact am happy  you are seeing something. I was afraid you might turn out to be a lesbian and be afraid to  telling us." Mother finishes with a laugh .

Lesbian. .I'll just assume I didn't hear that .

This whole time father is quite and I actually don't know what he is thinking.

"Dad say something " ,I look at him expecting him to atleast talk.

"Come here my darling "
,Dad pulls me into a hug. My father could be a over  dramatic sometimes .
One moment he is mad at you them the next is embracing you.

"My darling am not mad at you, if there is someone who is going to support your every decision then it's me...but am also scared .I don't want anyone hurting my princess. For a long time I have had you grieving for the loss of your sister Joanna and am not sure I can take it anymore if that boy breaks your heart ." Dad explains .

"But dad he makes me happy, I also get scared sometimes but I really don't want to think about it .I want to enjoy the present " I explain to dad still in his embrace.
So what if he breaks my heart, it already in pieces. Plus I think he trying to put the little pieces together.
