Hey guy! Sorry I've been extremely busy with finals and ending this semester off right which I did! I was a bit worried that I wouldn't be I did pull it off nicely.


Chapter 5: Daddy's Little Girl

CPOV:

The air left my lungs and I uttered a single word. "SHIT!" My eyes went wild and my breathing came out ragged. My father the Lawyer Valentine Morgenstern of the Morning Star Law Firm is coming here.

"Did you tell him that it was okay?! Did you tell him you have it under control Jordan?! What happened?!" I shouted panicked. I didn't want my father showing his face here and turning my world upside down. Jon I can manage on my own, but my father that's a different story.

"Yes Miss Clarissa I told him everything was fine but he insists on coming here to check on you himself. Jon was on the phone at the time as well and immediately left his security and headed for the airport livid." Jordan says looking sheepishly at me.

"How long? Can you ask Pangborn how long is it before father gets here?" I say looking at Luke and then over at Alaric.

"Sure." He nodded curtly at me and turned to leave, leaving me with Alaric and Luke….

The silence descended on us and I felt my mouth becoming dry. Will Luke blame me? Is this more ammunition for Alaric to use against me? I raise my fingertips to my temples and massaged slowly.

"Look, I get it if you don't want to start seeing me after this incident." I sigh opening my eyes and looking up to Luke and Alaric. Until Alaric cleared his throat, my eyes snapped to his.

"I wanted to say I am sorry. I should have never treated you the way I did. I just saw you talking to that boy and I couldn't understand why during the whole time you were speaking to him. when Luke is down the hall. Look, I look out for Luke's best interest and I will forever look out for him just like he does for me. All the time, because he is my brother. But I promise while you're in my class you will be my student, and I your professor. When were out of class well…. Maybe you could be a friend of mine but we would have to leave the friendship at the door of the class. But I am sorry for the way I treated you. But I must say you sure are a wildcat Clarissa." He smirked at me and I couldn't help but laugh.

"Well you know, I believe in sticking up for yourself. But thank you apology accepted. And since I don't know many people I would like to be friends if you don't mind." I say smiling shyly at him.

"I don't see why not." He winks and I turn my attention towards Luke.

"Are you sure you're okay?" He asks reaching his right hand to stroke my cheek lovingly.

"Yes." I breathe out looking into his eyes. "I am now. I'm sorry for this." I whisper looking down at me feet.

"You have nothing to be sorry for baby. It's okay." He lifts my head and I feel his lips on my forehead. But just as suddenly they were there, they left. A throat clearing in the background takes us out of our haze. I look up to see Jordan and Alaric smirking at us.

"Your father is actually going to be here in twenty minutes. He took the chopper to get to you and has landed." He says discreetly signaling towards the door. I know he is trying to tell me to get them out of here. I sigh and nod my head.

"I guess that means you both should go." I say smiling sadly at them.

"Call me when things settle I want to make sure you are okay." Luke says putting my phone in my hand and curling my fingers around it.

"Okay, I will." I say and watch as they head for the door, Luke turns cast me a small smile and leaves without another word. Closing the door behind him tightly. I sigh in frustration trying to prepare myself for my father lecture that I am sure is going to come. I open my eyes and Jordan is still staring at me intently.

"Yes Jordan?" I say rolling my eyes with a small smile.

"I won't tell Clary I promise." He winks at me just as his phone alerts him that there is a text message. "Your father is five minutes away. He really is putting the peddle to the meddle. Jon is about forty-five minutes by plane away. So you only have to worry about your father for a while.


I stand at the door waiting patiently as my father comes up the stairs, I received the text from Jordan that "the Eagle has landed" aka my father is here. I hear a loud, clear, authoritative knock and I knew then it was my father. I opened the door and shuffling to the side letting him in and listening as he slams the door shut.

"Clarissa?" He speaks softly and I glance up at my father. He looks so broken, so sad. His expensive armani suit wrinkled, his tie undone and hanging across his neck, his top three buttons undone. My father was always so well put together but tonight he looks, a wreck.

"Dad?" I whisper and ran to his open arms. No matter how bad it gets between us I know my father in his own little way, always had my back.

"You have no idea how worried I was for you Clarissa! How could you be so careless?! 100 of miles away and I was worried sick about you!" I hug my father listen to him ramble on and on stroking my hair like he use to when I was a child.

"I'm fine daddy…" I mumble after a while.

"Yes you are fine now! If it wasn't for Jordan who knows what would have happened!" He growls and I know he is angry at me.

I let go of him and move to sit on the couch and my father sat near me. "What were you thinking Clarissa? Your mother and I have raised you better than that!"

"I thought he was the food I ordered. I was going to stay indoors doing homework due tomorrow. I'm sorry dad I just wasn't thinking." I lie through my teeth. I know that it is horrible to lie partly to my father's face but still.

" We can't have this happening again Clarissa. Why don't you come home and take a few online courses? I'm sure the school wouldn't mind doing a favor for me."

"NO DAD!" I shout pinching the bridge of my nose. "We agreed that this is what I was going to do. College was my domain and decision." I say scooting to the back of the couch.

"Why are you being so stubborn Clarissa!"

"Why are you being so controlling when you just walked through the door!"

"Okay! Okay! I worry about you dear. You're my only daughter." I roll my eyes and smile.

"I know dad, but I am not your little girl anymore."
