Daddy’s girl

Chapter 16

Sam pov

“I don’t f*****g care, Robert. She is not taking Dylan. For God's sake” I’m going to kill that woman after ten years she comes back and she thinks she can ruin everything. I hung up with my lower and entered the house.

“I’m home”

“Kitchen” I walk to the kitchen and I see Dylan and Natalie cooking. I greet them with a kiss and I sit at the table.

“Are you ok?” Natalie asks and they look at me. How I’m going say in front of Dylan.

“Dad stop looking at me like that. I’m a big boy if you are like that because of me tell me. Did I do something?” At least he has to know.

“No. You don’t do anything. It’s your mother, Sarah” Natalie stops cutting vegetables and looks at me and Dylan comes and sits next to me.

“What about her?”

“she filed a lawsuit to take you from me.”

“What?? No way I’m not going with her” he says and stands up

“Don’t worry buddy. Robert does whatever he can. But maybe will go to trial.”

“Trial?” Natalie asks

“You don’t have to. Whatever the decision I’m not leaving you.” Dylan yells

“Dylan”

“No, Dad. I’m not going with her. Who she thinks she is? Coming after ten years and expecting to run to her?”

“Dylan.? No one..”

“No Nat I’m not leaving you. I will say it to the lawyers, to the police. Everywhere” he yells and runs upstairs until we hear his bedroom door shuts loudly. Natalie comes and sits next to me.

“What did Robert say?” She asks me to squeeze my hand

“There are a lot of changes to stay with us. Sarah doesn’t have a job or a house so we have points to keep him. And the love that he has for us is plus”

“I can’t believe she doing that. Every time she is here with Dylan she is not interesting and much for him”

“It’s because she wants me to. She is mad because I did accept her back. And she wants to hit me where I’m hurting” She hugs me and I kiss her neck smelling her perfume.

“I’m going talk to Dylan,” she says and I nod.

“I’m going for a shower,” I say and we stand up. After the shower, I find Dylan and Natalie in the kitchen again.

“I'm sorry Dad that I yell” he sighs and I sit behind him.

“Just, I don’t want to lose you or Nat. I understand that Sarah is my real mom. But I don’t want to go live with her.” I caress his hair and I hug him.

“No one will take you away from us buddy,” I say and I kiss his head. We ate in a good mood. Dylan relaxes a little bit and later we get ready to go to Robert. Dylan insists on coming with us. I said to leave him to his friend but he wanted to know what was going on. Robert says again what he said to me on the phone. Sarah doesn’t have a job and nothing permanent so the changes are to us.

“The only that is not in your favor is that you living together like just a couple”

“What do you mean Robert?” I ask

“Dylan already loves Natalie, there is no doubt about that. If you two were married or at least engaged we will have more chances” I look at Natalie. Well, I have thought of being married to her, actually, I already have a ring but I didn’t want to be like that. I have to have a chat with her.

“If we were at least engaged...?” Natalie starts asking

“We would not be afraid of anything in case of a trial. Whatever Sarah does Dylan will be in a perfect environment to grow up” After a lot of questions and answers from Robert we go home. We talk with my mother on the phone and Dylan goes to bed. Natalie enters the room from the bathroom and sits beside me. I hug her and we sit back and rest on the bed headboard.

“I think we should think the engagement think. We have to be sure that Dylan stays with us. It is something that will happen at some point. So why now?” Natalie says and I’m suprised.

“Are you sure?”

“Of course I’m sure. You move here after two months of the relationship. We already talking about having a family together. Nothing is too soon for us”

“You are right,” I say and I move to open my drawer. I take a little royal blue box.

“I didn’t plan to ask like that” Natalie gasped and put her hands on her mouth

“Baby girl, before I met you I was declared damaged. I had filled my mind with my invulnerable image, with a dark and extremely cynical side of me, with my ruthless ego.

But as soon as my past came to believe that it stigmatized me for good, I turned my gaze towards you and collided with your smile. I watched your eyes nail me telling me even all those that you had not even managed to admit to you.

Then I understood, with your take I would finally step on it. It's how you managed to unlock my heart when I swore I was no longer in love. It is you who taught me that love and affection do not always have to hurt. I love you because you showed me that caring for me is as easy for you as breathing.

I want you because you accepted me as I am and what that entails and I accept you in the same way. And when you ask me what else I want I can not think of anything. It is perfect just the way it is, in my eyes, you are perfect just the way you are and I love your perfect imperfections.” She already has started crying.

“I bought that ring in London. I just wanted the right time to ask. But I guess there is no right time. I want to marry you because you have changed my life, not about the small difficulties we have now. You will make me the happiest man on earth if you will marry me Natalie” she sod and nod her head.

“Yes, I will marry you, Sam. I love you” she says and she hugs me squeezing me hard.

“I love you too baby,” I say and I put the ring on her finger. It fits perfectly. We smile at each other and I wipe her tears. I kiss her cupping her face.

“Oh my God. Dylan will be more excited than us. Every day ask me when I’m going to marry you” she says and laughs.

“And asks me when I’m going to ask you to marry me” we laugh and kiss again.
