CHAPTER TWO
At the sound of the alarm, Sam woke up; he turned over to see Jazzy sleeping peacefully. He didn't want to wake her up.
"Jazzy, babe, you need to wake up. Dinner with your parents tonight is in a half hour. You need to get up and get ready." Sam gently shook her, and she opened her beautiful brown eyes.
"O.K, Sammy, I'm up. I'm going to take a shower; wanna join me?" Jazzy asked him.
"Sure, but we have to make it quick, we don't want to be late." Sam replied, sighing.
…
They arrived at Jazzy's parents' house. They went inside. Sam asked Lilly where Patrick was and she said, "In his office, dear."
"Thanks, Lilly." Sam said, "Jaz, I'm going upstairs to talk to your dad. Alright, sweetheart?"
"Okay," Jazzy said, giving him a kiss.
Sam then heads upstairs to Patrick's office and knocked on his door.
"Come in." Sam hears.
"Heyy, Pat, it's Sam. I have a question for you." Sam started.
"Oh, hey Sam, oh ok go ahead."
"OK, so what I wanted to ask you is…, um… I know Jazzy and I are only Juniors in High School, but we'll be Seniors soon-" he started but was interrupted by Patrick, "Spit it out, Sammy."
"-What I was trying to ask is, if I could have your permission to marry Jazzy?" Sam finished asking his question.
"Um, before I answer that, I want to know if you love Jazmyn?" He asked.
"Yes, of course, I love her," Sam said, automatically.
"OK, then, yes, you may ask for her hand in marriage. Just don't hurt her, Sammy; you are the best thing that could happen to her since everything with her parents happened. She's happy with you." Patrick replied. He wasn't worried about Sam hurting his daughter. He knew she loved him with all her heart.
"Thank you, sir. This means a lot to me." Sam said.
…
Meanwhile, Jazzy was downstairs helping with dinner and homework. Shortly after, Sam walks into the kitchen to see Jazzy, the twins and the boys at the table doing their homework. He walked over to Jazzy and gave her a kiss on the head.
"Hey, sweetheart," Sam said, smiling from ear to ear.
This made Jazzy curious. "Hey, how'd it go?" she asked.
"Good, everything is fine." He said to Jazzy. He then turned and looked at the other kids and said, "Heyy, guys, can I talk to the four of you either outside or in a bedroom. I have a quick question to ask?"
"Sure, meet us upstairs in the twins' room in a minute." Luke said.
"OK, Sam, what is going on?" Jazzy asked, confused.
"Nothing is wrong. What I can't simply ask someone a question without getting in trouble by my girlfriend?" Sam asked, sarcastically. Jazzy sat at the table nodding her head at her boyfriend's answer. Sam then walked out of the kitchen and went upstairs to talk to the kids about their sister.
