Dying Without Your Love

Jenni's POV

"Okay. That was hilarious." I said.
"Yeah. Totally." Nick said.
"I'm gonna go home and get my stuff." I said.
"Oh sure, honey. Let Joe company you." Denise said.
"Okay." I smiled.

Joe pulled me right out of the house and ran to mine.
And he kissed me in my front porch.
It felt so good.
But kind of awkward though.
Because my dad could walk right out any minute now.

And he did.

Joe quickly pulled away.

"Hi daddy. Just came to get my stuff." I said.
"Sure make it fast. Come in Joe." He said.
"Yes, sir." Joe replied.

Dad motioned Joe to sit on the couch.
I went upstairs and watched secretly.

"Joe, son. I saw what you two did out there." Dad said.
Uh oh. I started to panic.
"Sir, there is a reasonable explanation behind it and I could jus-"
Dad cut him off. "No. Stop,"
"But sir-"
"You did a great job."
"What?"
"Yes. I haven't seen Jennifer like this since her last break up with that boyfriend of hers 4 years ago. What was his name..."
"James, sir."
"Yes. James. Bastard."

I was so relieved and ran to my room and took all of my stuff.
I ran down.

"You got everything, pumpkin?" Dad asked.
"Yes, daddy."
"Be careful okay." I hugged him.
"Of course I will."
"And I'll make sure of it." Joe said.
"I know you will, Joe. I trust you."
"Thank you, sir."

I kissed my dad on the cheek and we said our goodbyes.
Wow. Dad liked Joe.
This is a great thing.
