One More Minute With Him

Tides part 2

“So you acted like my father calling?” I asked wanting to move on.

“Yes I did.”

He looked sideways at me. “Do you want to go home or not right now?”

No I don’t because if I go home I face Brandon and I can’t do that.

“Let’s get something to eat.” I walked to my car but remembered I didn’t have much gas.

“Come on we can go in my truck.”

I looked out the window as we drove looking for a place to eat at. We were in Utah and I didn’t know much but it looked like he did.

“How do you know so much and here? I mean you act like you know where you’re going.”

“I do. I lived here with my real mother when I was ten. I didn’t live with my dad tell I was eleven after my mom died.”

“Oh, I’m so sorry.”

He looked over to me and smiled.

“It’s okay I didn’t know about my father tell it was written in her will that I live with him. She kept me from him for all though years because she believe that he was going to take me.”

“Oh.” Was that all I could say now?

“So anyways after she died my father came to the door and told me that I was going to be living with him for now on out. I didn’t learn that he was my father tell a few months after. He was talking to his wife about me and he would as son every now and then. I put it off as nothing tell he told me. I didn’t believe him so we had a DNA test done and he was my father. I love him and think as him a better on out of him and my mother.”

“Oh.” Really?

“Is that long you can say now?”

“I think so.” I answered him with a laugh.

I looked out the window and saw a I-Hop.

I turned to Gale. I smiled widely. “There? Oh please it’s been for ever since I’ve been there.”

He pulled off and into the parking lot of I-Hop. I jumped out and walked to the door.

We were sitting and waited on. I got a small meal due to the fact I was upset and I never ate much with I was.

Gale smiled at me as we ate our food. I wanted to know more about him and his life. But was it okay to ask? His past sounds dark in a way. Like as t why his mother would hide he own son from his father.

I smiled back at him. I was last in thought tell the end of the meal.
