Sofi POV
"I don't know what to be more upset at, the fact that my daughter lied to us or was in a very tight embrace with an employee." My dad said.
"Daddy, I can explain. I'm sorry, I did lie to you, but it was only to go hang out with a couple of friends. Except when I got there I was almost taken advantage of by some jerk. That is why I was hugging Ash. He just saved me from something very bad. If he didn't show up I don't know what would have happened. I am so sorry dad!" I begged him with silent tears running down my face. I could see his face morph from being extremely angry to sadness until he slammed the blank face down.
"Who did you go see Sofia?" He asked sternly.
"I went to see me friend Garret and a couple of other guys, but it turned out it was just a ploy for Garret to get me alone."
"Where does he live? I think I need to go pay him a visit." Dad growled.
"Dad you can't! He isn't even worth it! Please?"
"Fine Sofia, go to Seven. We will talk more there. Ash come here son."
I gave a concerned glance at Ash and then slowly walked up to the elevator with my mom. I looked to Ash as the doors closed.
Ash POV
"Now Son, can you explain to me just what the hell happened?" Ranger growled. I swallowed the nervous lump in my throat.
"Well Sir, I was on my way to my apartment when I got a text from Sofi asking me to pick her up and to hurry. So I ran to the garage got in my car and rushed to the address she gave me. I found her with tears running down her face and she was very shaky. She told me this pathetic little boy tried to come on to her and wouldn't take no for an answer. Sir, all I want to do is go back to that house and beat the living shit out of him. No one should ever put that pressure on a woman, especially not one such as your daughter. Sir, Sofi is an amazing soul and it upsets me that she was almost taken advantage of tonight."
Sofi means the world to me, and I know I probably just let on a little too much to her father but I can't help it. I really like her and I am steaming mad. I need to let this pressure out right now!
"Thank you Ash. You saved my little girl tonight. I only have one concern, and that is how in the hell do you have her number?" He raised an eyebrow with a smirk on his face. I could feel my face start to flame and I started to fidget.
"Well, you see Sir. I, uhm, we were talking…and well it's actually a funny story." I just stopped talking and took a deep steadying breath.
"What I am trying to say is that we met in Miami, as you know, and when we saw each other her we exchanged numbers. I hope that is not a problem Sir?"
He laughed.
"Ash, you can calm down. I have a lot of respect for you right now. You are allowed to be friends with my daughter, but if there is something more there I should be the first to know, is that understood?" Ranger said.
"Sir yes Sir! You'll be the first to know." I smiled. Ranger isn't as bad as I thought he would be. This man deserves a lot of respect, and I won't disrespect him by disrespecting his daughter. Now to see if Sof understands.
Sofi POV
When mom and I got up to Seven she turned and looked to me.
"Want to tell me what happened?" She asked.
So I sat down and told her all about tonight and how Garret came onto me and how I had to fight him and texted Ash.
"Mom, he is absolutely perfect. He never disrespects me, he treats me as we are equals, and he is the sweetest guy I know. The downside is he works for dad, which means nothing can ever happen. I don't know what to do Mom. I really like him! Not to mention he is SO sexy. God, have you seen that ass?" I vented to my mother. She laughed.
"When you are with him, do you feel special or do you think it is just a crush? I could tell with your father he was the one. We had a connection." She asked. I was about to tell her something that I haven't even admitted to myself yet.
"When I am with him, I get a strange amount of butterflies in my stomach. When he is around I can almost feel his presence. I know when he is near me. I get that this is really soon but it is a crazy feeling. How can my body feel so strongly about a man I just met?" I admitted. Mom just smiled to something behind me.
I turned around and saw my father.
"God damnit. I should have known. Sofia, I will give you an opportunity. I can't believe I am doing this. I give you permission to go out with Ash." I squealed!
"Are you kidding Daddy? That is so awesome! Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I ran and hugged him.
"Well, that is after you are done being grounded." That stopped me short. What?
"You lied to us Sofia, you don't think that has repercussions?" Mom asked. I just looked down.
"How long am I grounded for?" I asked.
"You are grounded for two weeks. You can't go anywhere unless you are with your mother or I. Is that understood?" Dad asked.
"Yes sir." I nodded and went straight to my room.
I couldn't believe it. I was allowed to date Ash! Although nothing could happen for two weeks, I couldn't wait. This was the best worst day ever!
Okay guys, I know it is a little short, but my computer is about to die and I really wanted to get this out. Please review to let me know what you think!
