In love with a bad neighbor

Chapter twenty-two - Talking with her dad

Vince's POV:

I knew that one day someone would find out about Emma and me, but I didn't expect it to be so soon. Luckily, her dad is not mad at us. I think that he understands why we did it. Mostly, I did it because of Emma. I know that this is important for her. To be honest, I never expected to stick to one girl for so long, but I like that I did it. My neighbor is a great girl and a good friend. Someone might say that I am falling for her, but the truth is that I don't know. Usually, I go after girls only to get a treat, but with Emma it's different. Yes, I walked after her exactly for this reason, but I decided to stay. Something which is not typical for me. Somehow, she managed to change me, and I'm not even mad about that. I don't give up easily, but now, I will do everything for her. I have never thought of her as a potential girlfriend, but I won't deny it. After all, she knows how to make one boy happy. Well, except Ricky, but he doesn't know what he wants. I have to say that he had a piece of gold in front of him, but it's not my fault that he didn't take it. I, on the other hand, won't make the same mistake. If one day I have a chance with her, I will take it. Who knows when another girl like her will appear? Probably never. That's why I will do the action and move on. One thing is sure. I won't be like the i***t. I will make her happy.

It's the weekend, so there is no school for two days. It's not like this is enough. I looked at my phone and saw that it was only 8 am. My parents are probably still sleeping. They don't like to get up early on the weekends. According to them, it's enough that they do it five days a week. I do the same, but I'm not complaining.

I got out of bed and went to get ready. I walked to the window and saw Emma getting ready. It looks like she will go somewhere. I wanted to call her, but since she never dresses in front of me, I need to know what I might discover in the future. I have to say that I was impressed. This girl has a great body. Nothing to be ashamed of. Soon she noticed me and quickly hid behind the curtains, which made me laugh. I opened my window and knocked on hers.

- From how long were you there?

- Like two minutes. Why?

- You are going into my personal space.

- There is nothing wrong with watching someone.

- Yes, but when they are dressed. What do you want?

- I wanted to see what you are hiding behind the clothes.

- What am I supposed to hide?

- Some people feel insecure and they wear only baggy clothes.

- Well, I'm not one of them.

- I'm glad to hear that. Can I have a treat? I want to start my day positively.

- Go and ask someone else.

- Why are you so cold with me?

- You know what you did.

- I'll say it simply. If you don't give me a treat, I will come and take it by myself. By the way, you can stop hiding. I already told you.

- I won't give you anything.

- I'm sad to hear that.

I didn't say anything else and went into her room. Emma saw me and quickly locked the door. Before she could even move, I pinned her to the door and kissed her. I said that I wanted a treat and I would get it. She wrapped her hands around me and deepened the kiss. As I have said before, every time it feels better than the last one. I carefully lifted her and put her on the bed. As I see, Emma doesn't care that she is only with a t-shirt on. Well, except for her underwear. I put one of my hands under her t-shirt and felt how she shivered. All the girls do this. Soon I pulled away and looked at her.

- What?

No answer. I am very confused right now. I can't understand her look. Is he mad at me or is there something else? I leaned closer to see if she would do something. Not even five seconds passed and she pulled me for a kiss. Now I know what her look was about. I tried to move somewhere else, but she didn't let me. I guess that she only wants this. It's not like I mind. As long as she is happy and comfortable, I am ok with everything. We pulled away, and I looked at her.

- Look, I'm sorry. I just...

Before she could finish, I gave her another kiss.

- You should never apologize for your feelings.

Emma didn't say anything and pointed to the place next to her. I laid down and she immediately snuggled. I feel that there is a problem. I don't know is it I or something else has happened.

- Hey, are you ok?

- Not really.

- Did I do something?

- No, you didn't do anything. All I wanted was to be normal, but I don't think that this is possible.

- Yes, it is. You can do whatever you want, and no one can stop you.

- Except for my mom.

- Even she can't do it. You need to be brave and tell her how you feel. She can't keep making decisions instead of you.

- I know, but I can't do that.

- Look, if you...

- Forget it. I don't want to talk about this.

I stayed with her for a while and later walked into my room. I went for breakfast. Since I don't have plans for the day, I can go out with Emma or just make her company. Well, if her mom hasn't made plans for her. My parents decided to spend the whole day outside, which means that the house is only for me. It's not like I will do anything. I went to the living room for a movie. In the middle of it, there was a knock on the door. I went to open it and saw Emma's dad. He smiled at me, and I let him in.

- Hey, I hope that you have some free time.

- I have a whole day.

- Awesome. I wanted to talk with you and Emma, but it's better if this doesn't happen at home.

- Ok, but where is Emma?

- My wife called Ricky.

- And you couldn't stop her.

- Things are not that easy. Anyways, I know how to get Emma out of there.

- How?

He didn't say anything and called his daughter. Soon she picked up the phone and he told her to pretend that she couldn't hear him, so she had to turn on the speaker.

- Can you hear me now?

- Yes, that's better. Why are you calling?

- You know where I am. Come here. I need help. It's urgent.

- Did something happen?

- I will explain it to you when you come.

After not more than ten minutes, Emma was there. I don't know how she got rid of Ricky, but I won't lie that I am happy about this. I hate him and I want him to stay away from her. Now I sound like a jealous boyfriend. Is it bad that I want to help her?

- Great. Both of you are here.

- Can I know for what is this meeting to whatever this is?

- I want to know everything. So, who of you two will tell me how everything started?

Emma was about to start, but I cut her off. After all, everything started because of me. I told him the short version of the story. I won't tell him all the details. What we do is not his business. Moreover, I think that he already knows it. Mister Sander was listening without saying anything. I know that it doesn't look very good, but back then, none of us were thinking straight. To be honest, I am not sorry for what I did. I didn't find only a good girl, but also a good friend.

- Dad, won't you say something?

- I am literally speechless. It's better if your mom doesn't hear this. Otherwise, all of us will be in trouble.

- Don't worry, we won't tell her.

Mister Sander was about to say something, but my parents came home. They said that both of them would be outside for the whole day. Maybe they have changed their plans. Mom and dad walked to us and sat in front of Emma's dad.

- Hi, um... who are you?

- I am Emma's dad. I'll say it in their language. It's game over.

- So you know too? - mom asked

- Wait, you two knew about this?

- Well, one day Emma came to search for Vince. I was surprised to see a girl looking for my son and let her in. Later, we made them explain what was going on. You can guess the rest.

- I can. So, Emma, I won't tell your mom, but if she finds out from somewhere else, I'll pretend that I don't know anything. Otherwise, you know what will happen.

- Yes, I know. Thanks, dad.

- No problem. You, boy, better behave. You can come when I am at home or Emma. It's for your good.

- Don't worry, I won't make more mistakes.

- We'll see. I will leave you now.

- Ok, dad. I'll see you at home.

- Just a quick question. You two are dating, right?

- No, we are not. - I said

- Boy, you don't have to lie.

- Dad, he is not lying.

- Then what is the hiding for?

- Well, um...

- Let's say that we do some things which I won't explain. - I said, and he looked at me

- I don't want to know. Bye, and see you later.

- Bye, mister Sander.

I guess that we are saved. At least for now. Her dad is not mad. I won't lie that I expected him to be. Usually, dads get very protective when it comes to their daughters. I like Emma's dad. Mostly because he was nice to me. I wasn't sure how he would react, but he was calm. Something that I like.

- What do you want us to do now? We can go out.

- I want Emma to stay for lunch. This time, I won't accept no as an answer. - mom said

- Ok, I will stay. Until then, we can go out.

- Great. I will go and get my jacket.

Both of us walked out and I grabbed her hand. I thought that she would pull away, but no. If I have to be honest, maybe it won't be that bad to have her as my girlfriend. We have already done many things. From the outside, it looks like we are dating. I don't want to be the very protective boyfriend, but I have the feeling that this will happen.

- What are you thinking about?

- Us.

- What?

- Mostly, about your dad's question.

- What about it?

- Do we really look like we are dating?

- I don't know. I guess. Why?

- I just wonder what it's like to look at us from the outside.

- Sadly, I can answer this.

- I know.

- Are you trying to say that you want us... um... you know...?

- I won't deny it.

- Really?

- Why not? Let's go now. Soon lunch will be ready.

Emma didn't say anything, but I saw a smile on her face. I think that she wants it too, even if she won't admit it. Maybe I should give us a chance. I might have never had a girlfriend, but it can't be that bad. Especially if she is someone like my neighbor. I don't know with what, but Emma is different. I know that probably every boy says this about his girl, but it's true. When you find the right girl, you realize that she has something which the other girls don't have, and this is what made you walk after her. Well, I found my girl. What has left is to tell her how I feel. One day I might do it.
