The Relationship with My Dad’s Bestfriend

Chapter seven: Weekend get away comes to an end.

Gracelyn

I woke up the next morning, feeling sore. I had an incredible night last night. I noticed that Lucas is still sleeping and he has his arms wrapped around me. I roll over and kiss him on the forehead. That’s when I got up, and headed to the bathroom to take a shower. When I got out of the shower, which I was in the for a good minute, I put a robe on and wrap my hair in a towel. I exited the bathroom, and that’s when I saw Lucas, he was on the the phone. I walked to the other side of the room, and sat in the chair at the table as I’m using the towel to dry my hair a little bit that’s when I hear.

“Goodmorning beautiful.”

I look up and he’s smiling at me.

“Goodmorning.” I said as I put the towel on the table and walk over to him where he’s sitting in the edge of the bed. I walk up right behind his legs, he pulls me in, to get on his lap as he kisses me.

“I had an fun time last night.” He said.

“Believe me, I had an incredible time last night, thank you for making it so special.” I replied.

“I’m glad, I wanted everything to be perfect for my perfect girl.” He said as he kissed me.

“I’m not perfect..” I replied.

“You are to me, baby. Btw I just ordered room service so our breakfast should be here soon.” I smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss, before I went back into the bathroom to brush my hair.

Next thing I know, he’s standing in the door way of the bathroom, starring at me.

“What?” I asked him.

“Just starting at this gorgeous girl, that I can’t believe is mine.”

“Stop making me blush.” I said as I felt my cheeks get warm. He literally gives me butterflies.

“So I need to ask you something..”

“Oh gosh, what?” I asked, with a big smile on my face.

“I think we should tell your dad. This weekend has been great, I want to be able to do these kinds of things with you back home. I don’t want to have to share you, when you go on dates, hoping that you don’t find someone else in the process. What do you think?”

“How about no? Once he finds out, our relationship won’t be the same. You think he’s gonna be ok with his bestfriend dating his daughter?”

“Grace, you’re adult he can’t stop you from dating me. He may have an opinion, but he can’t control who you date anymore.”

“Excuse me, I am living in his house right now. He might not be able to, but he can end his friendship with you, he can be disappointed in me, he could not talk to me.”

“What are we gonna do keep this a secret forever?”

“It’s only been a week, what is going on? Why all a sudden you wanna tell my dad about us? I mean this in the nicest way possible, he will kill you and you know it.”

“Ok ok, I was just saying so we can have a real relationship instead of this sneaking around and dating others in the process.”

“I get it, I wish things can be different but at the same I like that our relationship is private. I don’t like sharing you as much as you like sharing me.”

He walked over wrapped his arms around me and kissed me.

“One day we will have to tell him, babe.”

“I know but it’s not any time soon.”

That’s when he walked out of the bathroom, so I could finish getting ready. There was a knock at the door, and that’s when I hear,

“Breakfast is here.”

I finished brushing my hair and then heard my phone beep. I look down to see Andrew texted me.

Andrew: Free tonight? Let’s go out for Drinks? Abby and Matt are coming too. But I figured we could go to dinner first just me and you!!

Before I could reply I got another text but this time from Abby.

Abby: DRINKS TONIGHT GIRL!!! With Matt and Andrew cmon. :)

I decided to text Andrew back.

Me: As long as my flight gets in on time, I’m on :)

As I walked out of the bathroom, I went to sit down with Lucas to eat breakfast.

“So I have some things to take care of back home as soon as possible, so I am booking us a earlier flight.” He said to me.

“Ok, what things?”

“Doesn’t matter. But I figured we can get together tonight.”

“Uhm I cant, I have plans tonight.”

“What plans?”

“Oh it doesn’t matter.”

He rolled his eyes at me as we finished our food.

We got all packed up, and headed to the airport.

As we were sitting on the back of the company car, Lucas grabs my hands, and looks at me with a smile.

“So you gonna come with me on all these work trips?”

I smiled back at him and said, “as long as you want me to?”

He kept looking at his phone a lot on the drive to the airport, he’s acting a little weird and I don’t know why. The plane ride home was quick, only because I slept most of the time. When we landed, Luke asked if I would just give him a ride home, which I agreed to.

We didn’t discuss me stay over tonight on the ride over which I found odd. He always wants me over, which got me thinking. What if he doesn’t like me anymore? what if this weekend was too boring for him? What if I was just a woman to get in bed with? Or what if he’s mad at me because I don’t wanna tell my dad about us? After dropping him off, I just wondered if he was gonna contact me again, besides work and when he comes over to see my dad. I thought about it the whole way home, as I was pulling into my drive, I decided I would focus on my date tonight instead of Luke. As I walked inside, and went up to my room, I started going through my closet and looking around for what I could possibly wear tonight, I didn’t like anything I had. I texted Abby to see if she was free to go shopping with me but she was working. So I decided to go alone, as I was walking downstairs, I notice my mom was in the kitchen.

I walked into the kitchen, and that’s when my mom saw me.

“Oh hi, honey. When did you get home? How was your trip?” She asked me.

“It was fun, lots of fun actually. Hey I was wondering, what were you doing? I need to find a new outfit for my date tonight, and was wondering if you wanted to go with me?”

“Of course I would love to.” She said.

We went out shopping, and had a late lunch together, it was nice spending some time with my mom. I feel like we haven’t done this kind of thing in a long time. I did ended up finding a new outfit for my date, and some other clothes to buy.

Once we were back home, I started to get ready for my date with Andrew, I bought some new shinny jeans, high waisted, and a black lace top, it was a tank top underneath it, then the lace top was over it, one side was off the shoulders and the other side was a spaghetti strap, then I put some black heals on. I did my make up and my hair, finished getting ready. When I was finished I headed down stairs, that’s when I got the text that he was here, I headed outside where I saw him waiting by his car.

“Wow, you look.. great, Grace.” He said to me.

“Thanks, you look great too.” I said as I walked up to him.

That’s when he kissed me on the cheek, then he walked around and opened my door. I got in then he got into the driver side. He took me to a restaurant, and as we were seated, he kept commented me.

“Thanks, Andrew. You are just full of comments tonight, aren’t ya?”

“Well, I like to say what I’m thinking. So how was your trip?”

“It was good, we had fun. Good to be home though.”

That’s when we ordered, and got our food. I was enjoying myself until I saw what I saw and couldn’t believe my eyes..

When I looked up and just glanced to my side, that’s when I saw Lucas having a meal with no other then Maddie. I know we are allowed to have dates, but I didn’t think he would actually go on dates with his crazy ex. I had to control myself, and not get angry because I didn’t want to Andrew to know I was mad. I proceeded to finish my meal, and just wanted to leave. Finally, once we finished Andrew got the check, and we left. I needed a drink or two, we met up with Abby and Matt at the bar down the road.

“Damn girl. I love that shirt.” Abby said to me.

“Thanks I got it today.” I said back to her.

Andrew ordered us drinks, he handed me a drink and i about Chong it. I went up and got another one, I more I drank the faster I was drinking them. Finally I was to the point where I was drunk. I excused myself to go to the bathroom, once I got to the bathroom, I pulled my phone out and texted Lucas.

Me: So I saw you had a date, which is no biggy except the fact it was with your ex!!! I may of went on a second date with Andrew but least I’m not dating my ex.

I put my phone back in my pocket, and washed my hands as I was walking out of the bathroom that’s when my phone started ringing. I pulled it out and seen it was Lucas, I ignored it then turned my sound off. I returned to the table, and started drinking my drink when I felt my phone vibrate.

Lucas: answer your phone!!

He kept calling me after that text message, I finally decided to go outside and take his call.

“Hello??” I said.

“What do you saw today wasn’t a date, why don’t you come over and we can talk.”

“How about no! I saw what I saw today: and right now I’m having a good time with my friends.”

“Are you drunk?”

“Maybe, but I gotta go.”

“Where are you, Grace?”

“None of your business!” I said as I hung up the phone.

I went back into the bar, and told Andrew I wanted to dance. He agreed, we got up and headed to the dance floor. We were dancing that’s when he spun me around and my lips landed on his. I kissed him back, that’s when I realized I needed to go home. I wasn’t planning on getting drunk because I had to work tomorrow but that wasn’t how it ended up. I told him I wanted to leave, we went a got my bag, and said our byes to Abby and Matt, then left. As we walking to his car, he suggested that I stay with him. I didn’t agree at first, but at the same time, my parents have never seen me this drunk and I certainly couldn’t go to Lucas house. So I agreed, I ended up passing out on the way to the apartment, once we got there, he woke me up and we headed up to his apartment, after that I don’t remember a thing.

I woke up the next morning feeling like a train had hit me, there was no way I could go to work today. I didn’t want to drink that much, I was angry and upset that I just kept drinking more and more. I realized that I was in Andrews bed, I still had clothes on thank god. He was still sleeping, so I quietly snuck out of his bed, once I was in the living room, I laid on his couch and called out of work. I just wanted to go home and go back to bed. I called an Uber right after then gathered my things up and went to leave but as I was walking out of his apartment and started walking down the all, that’s when Lucas came out of his apartment at the same time. He was surprised to see me..

“So this is why you called in?” He said to me.

“How do you even know that, already?”

“I get a text every time someone calls in. So I see how your date went.”

“Yeah, I was a little too angry at someone last night.”

“ I don’t have time for this, I have to go to work. You know that thing you just called out of because your hung over..” he said to me angrily.

We both walked into the elevator.

“How are you getting home?”

“Uber..”

“Uhh, I’ll give you a ride..”

“No it’s fine.”

“Stop being so stubborn, im giving you a ride.”

I rolled my eyes, and decided to not argue with him. We got into his car, and it was an awkward silence at first.

“So, I see you spent the night with him last night?”

“And I see you went on a date with you ex?”

“Grace, it’s not what it looks like we weren’t on a date. I agreed to be friends with her, and see wanted to have dinner and talk, that’s it, it wasn’t a date. She paid for her own meal, she drove herself, we didn’t even hug each other.”

“Then why didn’t you tell me?”

“I don’t know I was afraid to because of this exact reason. Why didn’t you tell me back your date with Andrew?”

“I was going to, but then you were acting weird at the hotel so since you weren’t telling me, I wasn’t telling you.”

He grabbed my hand, and apologized. I didn’t want to fight anymore, so I just accepted it.

“So why did you crash at his house last night?”

“Because I was drunk and passed out in his car..he took me to his place.”

“Did you guys do anything?”

I really don’t remember a whole lot from last night, I do remember kissing him. I don’t know if I should tell him, well at least right now.

“I don’t remember much from last night honestly.”

We pull up to my house,

“See you later, then I hope?” He said.

“We will see, probably.”

After he dropped me off, I went inside, changed, and crawled into bed. I was thinking it’s only been a week and there has already so much that has went on, so much fighting, I am beginning to think if this relationship is ever worth it.
