CHAPTER 45
#Skylar P. O. V
………
I entered the house, “Mom, I’m home!” I shouted at the top of my lungs.
Barged into the living room and find my mom, but she’s not alone she’s sitting beside a man with blonde hair and brown eyes. His face looks tired and he’s looking at me with a fake smile.
“What is he doing here?” I growl clenching my fists.
“Now, is that anyway to talk to your father?” John asks me which only infuriates me more.
“You are not my father.” I spit out with venom in my voice.
“Skylar.” my mom softly calls me. I look at her and she flinches from the intensity in my gaze.
“What?” I growl at her.
I scoff as I notice John place his hand on hers in an act of comfort.
“Skylar, John is your father whether you like it or not.” my mother says to me as I look at her in shock.
“Your kidding me right?” I ask, shocked by her statement.
“This is the man that left you the moment he found out you were pregnant. The man that was such a coward to leave you without a single glance. You’re seriously defending him?” I ask her shocked.
“Yes, and I regret all that. I want to be the best father and man for you and your mother.” John says putting on fake regrets… His act instantly woos my idiotic mother as she smiles like a woman possessed. I on the other hand feel like back slapping this man.
“This is ridiculous, you’re not seriously falling for this are you mom?” I ask, bewildered.
But I guess she did, because she continues to look at John like a possessed woman.
“I know they say love is blind, but I didn’t know its also dumb.” I yell as I storm into my room and angrily close the door, making sure it’s just loud enough.
I fall on my bed and start kicking and screaming into my pillow. I don’t really know what happened, but all I know is I fell asleep.
“Skylar, wake up.” I hear my mother’s manly voice say from some place in my room.
“30 minutes mom.” I mumble lifting my face a little bit from my pillow my eyes still closed.
… Wait a minute my mother doesn’t have a manly voice.
I jumped up of bed so fast I end up landing on the floor. I moan while rubbing my now painful nose. Its only now I notice the laughter coming from my bedroom door. I turn around a little and saw John standing by my door holding his stomach laughing.
“D-Did you j-just f-f-fall?” John asks still laughing.
“No my floor looked lonely so I thought I’d give it a hug.” I reply while lifting myself up from the floor.
“Now what do you want?” I ask already annoyed by his presence.
“Your mom wants me to take you out. You know, father daughter bonding.” John says now sober from his little laugh.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
I raise a perfect brow at his statement, “And you agreed?” I ask really shocked.
Me and John are like Tom and Jerry me being Jerry and him Tom, because he tries to get rid of me every chance he has.
“I really have changed.” John says looking around my room.
“Yes you have and i know you even qualify for the best father awards.” I said sarcastically smiling at him.
He sends me a wicked glance “Don’t think I won’t get rid of you if you cross the line.” he says in a dangerous voice..
“ARE YOU BOTH READY!!” my mom’s voice yells from downstairs.
“Yes we are” I yell and quickly run out of there to avoid talking to that creep.
I run out the front door and look behind me where John is walking out at a slow pace with MY car keys in his hands. “Wow I didn’t think you would be that happy to spend the day with me.” John says smiling smugly.
“Ha ha ha, can I have my keys now?” I ask walking towards him.
“Do you know where were going?” John asks raising a brow at me with that stupid smirk of his.
“No.” I said while clenching my fists.
“Then I’m driving.” he says as he gets into MY baby I angrily get into the sit besides his and sat down.
“Don’t give me that face.” John says as he starts driving us wherever.
A few minutes later we arrive at a little restaurant “This is where were going?” I ask pointing at the little place.
“What I don’t have any cash on me and its not like we’ll actually get along.” John says walking out of the car I sigh and follow him into the diner. The moment we entered the dinner a waiter wearing a small, tight dress that shows too much cleavage walks up to us.
“Table for two?” She asks looking at John giving him a flirty smile.
“No we’ll eat on the floor. Carpet for two please.” I answer her sarcastically. She sends me an evil glare and walks us to our table shaking her flat ass in our face.
We sat down and I order a burger and start munching on it avoiding John’s gaze his phone starts ringing just as he opens his mouth to speak.
He looks at the caller and his eyes widen and he goes pale like he just saw a ghost he quickly stands up and heads outside
After a few minutes he comes back.
“We’re leaving”he says quickly pulling out some cash from his pocket and placing them on the table
He pulls me by my arm not even giving me a chance to speak he pulls me into the car and quickly drives us back home
“John, slow down!” I yell as we speed past a red light. He doesn’t even answer me, just keeps speeding past everything. We finally arrive home and I swear I saw my life flash before my eyes on that drive.
I enter the house and breathed a sigh of relieve once we got inside the house…..
