I took a deep breath, feeling my heart beat through my chest as I walked right into my dad's law office. He's been heavy on my mind for some reason the past couple of days so I figured why not reach out to him and just get it over with so I decided to pop up since I didn't have his number or anything anymore
As I started to walk past the receptionist desk the girl that was behind it, paying more attention to to her phone, quickly looked up and jumped from behind the desk grabbing onto my arm
"Excuse me? Where you going?" She asked with an attitude and I looked at her some type of way, snatching my arm from her grip. I'm already nervous as shit and my hormones were up and down so she might wanna chill
"You ain gotta touch me. I'm here to see my dad"
"And you are?" She looked me up and down "can't nobody get past the front desk without talking to me so you need to come back and sign in before you can talk to anybody else"
"Girl-" I started to say but was cut off
"Karma?"
Me and the girl both looked and my dad stood out of his office door, looking surprised
"I was just trying to let her know she needed to sign in first" the girl tried to say all polite and shit now
"This is my daughter" he informed the girl and her face flushed from embarrassment while she crossed her arms. I rolled my eyes while walking off, going into his office and he closed the door behind him
"Umm it's good to see you.. is everything alright?" He asked as he went back around his desk and sat down
"Yes.. honestly I just came to talk to you because you've been heavy on my mind the past few days and all jokes aside.." I sighed while sitting down "I really do miss having my dad in my life. And even though it's been two years one of us had to get our pride out of the way"
"You right. And I'm sorry, I truly am karma but you had to realize where I was coming from as a parent. And no, I may have not been the best but I only wanted what was best for you"
"And I understand that but at the same time, I left so I could find myself and learn. Was moving where I moved the smartest thing? No. I admit that but how far I've came since I moved out, and the fact that I could make the right decisions on my own terms instead of being forced to do anything.. that made me feel good and I can be genuinely proud of myself"
"I just didn't wanna see you get caught up in a life you don't know about. What father you know would want their babygirl caught up dating some drug dealer with a criminal record the same length as a book"
"I knew what I got myself into and I learned my lesson but one thing I must say is Benji never had any ill intentions with me. I'm a smart girl and we both know this so if I knew Benji wasn't no good then do you really think I would've dealt with him for so long"
