Kama- This is the final fic of the Mikhail trilogy.

Rebecca Shoelpkof was running down the street when she finally saw her boyfriend.

"Hey Jake" she yelled. He saw her and ran up to her. They embraced and kissed.

"What took you so long? Did your dad call again?" asked Jake.

"Yeah. He ALWAYS wants to know where I'm going, when I'll be back, it fucken ridiculous. He called my apartment TWICE in one hour to check on what I was doing. I don't think he had ever done anything exciting in his since the buisness started."

"Yeah, what a douche. Do you think he knows about us?"

"He doesn't know about you. He's too stupid to know anything except how to run a business. I don't see what my mom saw in him."

"Anyway, let's go."

Jake and Rebecca had been secretly dating for the last few years. The had to because Rebecca's father wouldn't let her date ever since the incident with her first and only public boyfriend Ken when she was a high school junior. Her father would always ask where they were going and told them when to be back. Everything was going fine until her dad caught them about to have sex in her room. He was supposed to be away on a business trip for the new club that was opening in Berlin, but his flight had been cancelled. He walked right in on them. It was so embarrassing. Not only did everyone at the school know, but someone also found out that her dad had grabbed Ken and literally threw Ken out the front door in nothing but his boxers.

Jake was also attending college. He was everything a girl could ask for. Muscular body, sandy blond hair, he was even a 3rd degree black belt in Hung Gai Kung Fu. Not only was he good looking but also he was smart. She knew her dad would like him once Jake got on his good side. But she also knew how hard it would be to get on his good side. But Jake had one flaw. He would get kind of cocky if someone asked him about something including her. If someone asked how he treated her, he would brag about how well he treats her. But everything he said was the truth. She hoped he would try to not do that long enough so her dad would like him. One boy asked her out but when she asked her dad if she could, he refused. Her high school love life was far from perfect.

But now Rebecca was 22, and everything was going great. She had her own apartment, and was going to college to get her bachelors in Political Science. But she still had a grudge with her father. She usually spoke mean things about him. She knew he had contacts to give him info on what his little girl was doing. But her father didn't know about her boyfriend. She knew that she and Jake wanted to tie the knot and that her father would know very soon. But Rebecca had not been prepared for what would happen that night. It would be a very emotional night.

They walked through the doors of the restaurant and took their table. It was a very fancy place. It even had a little dance floor and band playing soft jazz. They took their seats and sat down. The night when on as their eating dates usually went. But the end was FAR from the same. She saw Jake walk over to her, get down on one knee and ask,

"Rebecca, will you marry me?"

Rebecca was welling from the eyes. She was so happy. She wasn't thinking about her father. She wasn't thinking of the troubles ahead, she was focused on this one moment. The moment every girl waits for, her entire life. The proposal. Rebecca managed to say through her tears,

"Yes"

Jake slipped on the ring, they kissed and everyone clapped and cheered. Rebecca was utterly fascinated with the ring he gave her. It was white gold with her favorite jewel on it. Green jade. They embraced for a moment, sinking in the moment. After paying, they walked out of the restaurant, got in the car and Jake was about to take her to the apartment when Rebecca stopped him.

"I need you to take me to my father's house. He will need to know this right away or it might make him mad that we didn't inform him of our relationship. If we get married and he doesn't know about it, he will get very pissed."

Jake drove her towards Mr. Shoelpkof's house. He knew he should be nervous, with all the stories Rebecca had told him of her father, but he knew that her dad couldn't be tougher than him. He was 45 and couldn't be all that tough, especially at that age. Rebecca said she had never heard about any fights her dad had been in. That meant he had to be one of the nerdy kid's a school. When they got onto Rebecca's old street, memories flew back towards her. She saw the tree she and her friend Maggie played on during most summers. When they finally drove into the driveway, Rebecca saw her mother looking out the window. They got out of the car and walked towards the door. Before they could even knock on it, the door swung open and Mrs. Shoelpkof was in front of them. She looked at Rebecca for a moment and suddenly brought Rebecca into a powerful hug. She released and then saw Jake.

"Rebecca who's your friend?"

"Mom, I've got some news. This is Jake. He has proposed to me. We want to get married."

Rebecca could see her mother's eyes watering up. She embraced both of them. Then she looked at Jake and said,

"I wish I could be the one to decide this matter. But that is left up to my husband. Please, come in, (they walk in and follow Mrs. Shoelpkof) How long have you been seeing each other?"

"For a while now, we met when I first started college."

They had entered a room and Mrs. Shoelpkof stopped them.

"I think you should wait here. I need to tell my husband. This might shock him a little more than you would expect."

She left the room for about 10 minutes and then returned.

"He wants to see both of you."

Jake was prepared for the worst. He knew that Rebecca's father may be the owner of a worldwide series of nightclubs, but he loved this woman and was going to do everything in his power to marry her.

They entered a room with a series of couches and one recliner. Mr. Shoelpkof was sitting in the recliner. Jake was laughing his ass off in his head. THIS was the dreaded Mr. Shoelpkof. He looked so small. His hair was already gray as well. He saw the man had to be at 5'10 at most. He knew he needed to be polite if this was going to work. He held out his hand for a handshake.

"Hi, I'm Jake. It's great to finally meet you Mr. Shoelpkof." He said in the most cheery voice he could muster. All he thought he was gonna get was a cold look. But then Mr. Shoelpkof stood up and grabbed Jake's hand. They shook hands and Mr. Shoelpkof said,

"Please, call me Mikhail."

That was a good start. Then Jake heard more from Mikhail.

"I have some questions for you, if I think your lying, you've lost all chances of marrying my daughter. All I want is yes or no. Understand?"

"yes sir"

"Do you truly love my daughter?"

"Yes"

"Do you want children later in your relationship?"

"Yes"

"Do you have a criminal record of any kind?"

"No"

"Have you two had sex before?"

"No"

"Good. Have you had sex before meeting my daughter?"

"Yes"

"How many times?"

"Four" Jake didn't want to lie. He knew if he got busted, he lost all chances of being accepted and trusted.

"Have you been tested for AIDS or HIV?"

"Yes. Negative."

Mikhail stopped for a moment and then gave Jake a powerful glare.

"Would you do anything in your power to protect my daughter?"

"Yes. Of course."

"Well, you passed. I believe you are an honest man and I give you my blessing for the marriage."

Rebecca was doing 360 backflips, she never thought her dad would let her get married. But then Mikhail spoke again.

"I just have a few more questions. What is your full name?"

"Jacob Cole Martin"

Jake saw something change in Mikhail's face. He seemed a bit interested. He leaned in and stared right into Jake's eyes.

"What are your parents names?"

"Zack and Maddie Martin"
