Chapter Six - Grace

Oh, our lips felt like absolute heaven as the kiss consumed us. Our passions were shared and they enflamed our souls as the kiss continued. I never wanted it to end. It took too long for it to even begin and I never wanted to give this up.

We lay down on the sofa, and further allowed our passions to explode before I heard the door open. I wanted to just ignore it and pretend that it never happened until I heard a very familiar voice yell: "What is going on?"

The voice started me, but I know it must have frightened Eli because he was on the floor rather soon after it happened. I tried to snicker at him, but I followed his panic-filled gaze to the door, where I saw my father.

"Daddy,"I said with a lot of shock and fear in my voice. I stood up to feel more powerful, though, I felt somewhat afraid of my father at this particular moment in time. "How are you?"

"I was a lot better before I came in here,"he said with a look of anger that seemed to be focused on Eli, who was standing next to me.

"How'd you get in?"I asked trying to distract him.

"Your mom gave me a key,"he replied thoughtlessly at first. Then, he realized what I was doing. "Grace, don't even try to change the subject."

"Okay,"I mumbled.

"Now, what the Hell was going on?"he demanded.

"It's not what it looked like,"I said, trying to save Eli from a premature death.

"So, he didn't have his tongue down your throat?"

I snickered before replying, "No."

"Then, what were you doing, Eli?"he asked, shifting the focus point to Eli for the questions.

Eli smiled nervously and took a deep breath. "I was kissing your daughter, Jake...sir."

"Yeah, I figured that much,"my father said as his anger levels rose higher and higher. "The question should've been..."

There was a slight silence before he finished his interrogation.

"Why did it happen?"he violently yelled.

"Because..."I began until Eli cut me off as he grabbed my hand.

"Because I'm in love with your daughter."

"You're what?!"

"You heard me, I'm in love with your daughter!"

Before my dad could get to Eli to massacre my gorgeous love, I stepped in front of Eli and stated, "And I'm in love with Eli."

"This can't be happening!"my father screamed.

"It is,"I said as I placed a slightly passionate, yet very nervous kiss on Eli's lips. "So deal with it!"
