Leo

What's going on?

Once we reach his truck my dad asks his burning question. 

"What's going on." He says while staring me down.

"Before you think we were keeping this from you we weren't. This just happened, I promise." I say looking at him.

"Dad this is Leo my boyfriend, Leo this is my dad James Gates."

"Nice to meet you sir." Leo starts out and holds his hand out for my dad to shake. My dad reaches out to shake his hand.

"I want you and your parents to come over for dinner tomorrow, if that's fine with you guys." My dad says with a serious look in his face.

"Yes sir that's fine."

"Okay I'll see y'all tomorrow." My dad says in his southern accent.

"Can you put my bookbag in the trunk dad." I say taking it from leo then giving it to him.

"Yeah don't be trying to take each others oxygen away from each other." He says walking back.

"I'm coming by the pack house later because I gotta go by the hospital part." I say looking at him. He walks closer and gives me a peck on the lips.

"Okay bambina just call or text when you get there." He says giving me a longer peck on the lips.

"Don't forget what I said about when I see you." He says rising his eyebrows.

" Okay okay I won't. Now help me in the car." I say walking towards it. He walks behind me then opens my door.

I set the crutches in first and attempt to get the corner using my left foot the pressure I have on my foot kind of starts to hurt so I get back down.

"I got you." I hear Leo says and he lifts me unexpectedly into the truck.

"you scared me." I say while looking him holding my chest.

"Sorry, I'll see you later okay." He says while kissing my check.

"Okay I'll text you." I say while closing my door.

"He seems decent." My dad says while cranking the car up.

"Come on dad he started off way better than..." I stop my sentence not wanting to say his name.

"Sweetheart don't worry about him, he can't do anything to you now" my dad says grabbing my hand.

"I know" I say while squeezing his hand.

"Bryce says hi by the way." I say looking towards him.

"That knucklehead next door." My dad says chuckling.

"Tell him I said wassup."

"Dad no, a hi or hello would've been fine." I say laughing.

"Whatever, you just mad because you ain't cool like me." he says popping his collar.

"Okay okay chill." I say laughing even harder. Once I calm down I just look out the window.

My dad turns the music up louder. He listens to 97.1 jams which is basically all 2000s and older music.

Keyshia Cole sings Love in the background when my dad tries to hit the note.

"I fouououund. Lovvvvvveee." He says.

"oh dad, that's a no from me dog." I say chuckling. A couple minutes later we pull up to mall.

"Dad can you help me." I say opening the door.

"Yeah sweetie hold up." He says getting out the car.

He walks to my side and I hand him the crutches. He lifts me up some so I'm not directly on my bad foot.
