“So you love her then, is that what you’re saying son?” The question was already asked before I could object to my father asking it.
Cameron stared at me from across the table, his eyes never leaving mine. “Yeah I do. I love her. Love doesn’t have any boundaries. It’s just love. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve known someone or how long you’ve been with them? All that matters is that you cherish them and treat them like your number one no matter what and I intend to do that for your daughter for however long she will have me as hers.”
Was it strange that my heart seemed to fly out of my chest at the words he said and the compassion that encompassed them? He was more right than he knew. Lots of people didn’t believe in love at first sight and it wasn’t love at first sight for us, it was simply love at first kiss. We longed for something in each other that we couldn’t find in anyone else.
"Sounds like he's a good fit Dad," Jeremy commented stuffing his mouth full of my Mothers green bean casserole.
I knew just from the twinkle of happiness in my father’s eyes that he approved of Cameron, and had given him the blessing of being with his daughter. Even though he didn’t know we just fucked hard in the guest bathroom.
“Welcome to the family Cameron.” My father said slapping a hand against Cameron’s back. I could feel Cameron’s eyes on me as I lifted my wine glass to my lips. Yeah, shit had happened between us but I trusted this man knowing that he would do whatever he could to protect me from his past, and his future.
The End
