how we met⇄ matt espinosa

twenty one: dad

Andrea
September 29, 2014

I'm still not sure what it was two days ago, that made Matt extremely upset.

I planned on finding out, but I decided to let it slide, and not bring it up.

Matthew is going back to his dad's place to see how his dad has been doing.

"Andrea!" Matt yelled from his room.

"What?!" I yelled back from the kitchen.

"Come here!"

"No, you come here!"

"C'mon don't be lazy!"

"Says the one who wants me to walk over where you are."

"Ugh!"

Seconds later, Matt entered the kitchen.

"What do you need?" I asked.

"I want you to come with me to see my dad."

My jaw dropped.

"Uh no, not in a million years." I responded.

"Please Andrea?!" He practically begged me.

"May I remind you that your dad, hates my guts."

"If he becomes a little too harsh I promise I'll stop him." he said, trying to convince me.

"Only, if you take me for some ice cream afterwards." I smiled.

"Sure!"

2 hours later

What the hell was I thinking? Coming over to Matt's dad's house? God, I'm so stupid.

Matthew rang the door bell, and soon enough his dad opened the door.

"Matthew!" he said, pulling Matt in for a hug.

"Hey dad! I've missed you!" Matt replied.

They released from the hug, and Matthew's dad looked at me.

"Dad, this is Andrea. Andrea, this is my dad." Matthew broke the silent tension.

"Yeah. I sure as hell know who she is."

"Okay! I'm out! Bye Matt have fun with your asshole of a dad!" I rolled my eyes, and started walking away from his porch.

Matthew gently grabbed my arm.

"Please don't go." he spoke with puppy eyes.

"Fine."

We walked inside the house. We all sat down in the living room.

Matthew and his dad were talking about Matthew's career, while I was mute.

This is awkward.

Well at least for me.

During their conversation, Matthew's phone started ringing.

"Uh, I gotta take this." Matthew smiled, getting up and leaving to another room.

We sat in silence. It was really awkward.

I bit my lip a little, because of how awkward this was.

"Well, if your not talking, then I will." he spoke up.

"Andrea, I understand that we have had some issues in the past, and I am sorry, and I'm willing to put all of these issues aside." he said.

I sat up straight. I am so confused right now.

"Sorry." I responded. "And, I'm sorry for calling you an asshole."

Matt then came back.

"What did I miss?" he asked.

"Nothing too important." I looked over at Mr.Espinosa and smiled.

He smiled back.

"Well, I think Andrea and I are going to head out." Matthew said.

"Where are you guys heading?" Mr.Espinosa asked.

"The ice cream place." Matthew replied.

"Want to join us?" I ask.

Matthew looked at me with confusion as too why I invited his dad. I'll tell him later about what happened when he went to take his call.

"Uh, yeah. Do you want to dad?" Matt asked.

"Sure!"

"I'll go start the car." Matt said.

We all went outside while Mr.Espinosa and I waited out at the porch.

"Looks like Matt warmed up the car, lets go ahead and go Mr.Espinosa."

"Hey Andrea?"

"Yeah?"I asked, as he wrapped his arm around my shoulder, and said one more thing before we got in the car.

"Call me, Dad."
