APOV
I walked out back to find dad. Mom said he went out into the woods for a minute so I went to see if he was back. I didn't see him right off so I just sat in swing we had put up under one of the trees. A couple of minute's later dad came through an opening brushing off his shirt. He stopped when he saw me and for a second I held my breath.
"Hi."
"Hey…did you talk to your mother?" he said walking towards me. I nodded my head as he sat beside me.
We rocked in silence for a couple of minutes. "Do you want to go for a walk?"
I shrugged, "Its okay, you just got back."
He stood up and held out a hand for me. "It never matters if I just got back. I always time." I smiled taking his hand.
We walked a little bit in silence and he never did his usual "So" to get the conversation going. Now I was getting uneasy. "We're okay right?" I asked quietly.
He did a quick step in front of me and to face me and stopped. "Of course," He shook his head looking ahead for a minute. "Adora, this is just hard for me. You know I'm usually the jokester about things. I've always been the one to keep things light, ease the tension. And, I actually never thought I would have been a dad. I never thought I was the dad type. But, know that I wouldn't give up a single day that we have had you in our lives…Well today I had to realize that my baby is growing up on me. I know that you are going to met someone someday that you are going to want to spend the rest of your life with but I guess today snuck up on me that you would want to go on your first date."
"Dad, I'll always be your little girl. Nothing can change that. No one could ever make me want to or even think about not having you or mom or anyone else in my life. I would think at this point that we are pretty much stuck with each other." I tried to make a joke so the tears wouldn't flow that I could feel building while he talked.
He pulled me in for a hug. "You are definitely stuck with us. But you know that any guy you bring around I'm not going to think is good enough for you."
I pulled back. "I know but dad can you do me a favor please."
"What?" He raised a brow.
"Mom told me that Cole will have to come inside so ya'll can meet him and talk to him. Just please don't scare him and no twenty or fifty questions…He really is a nice guy dad, so please."
He thought for a moment. "I can't make a promise Adora. I'm sorry but I can say that I will try to be nice to him for you."
"I guess I'll have to take that."
"Come on let's head back. I'm sure they have dinner ready."
I was officially able to be on cloud nine now. Everything was okay with mom and dad. I liked that dad was a little different when it was just the two of us. And, I was getting to go on my first date.
The next morning I was ready to get to lunch to talk to Cole. Right now I was in English trying to pay attention to Mrs. Garrett. She was walking around handing out a book.
"I can't believe we have to read this." I looked up to see Serena leaned across the aisle.
I looked down at the book, "Emily Dickenson isn't that bad."
"I guess I just wish we could read more stuff from today."
Mrs. Garrett let us out a couple of minutes later so Serena and I walked together to our lockers before lunch. "At least there all short stories." I tried to make it seem better for her.
"I guess."
We made it to my locker and after putting stuff in I stopped for a second remembering something. "Serena I was wondering if you would want to come for a sleepover sometime."
"Sure." She perked up. "When do you want to do it, this weekend?"
"I don't know actually. Could I call you after school? I have to talk to Cole first?"
Her eyebrows raised, "A boy, girl sleepover?" Over the last couple of weeks she had really opened up although she was still quiet most of the time.
"No, but Cole had asked me out and my parents said I could so I have to find out when he wants to go and all that."
"That's great, I wondered if you two would start dating." She said with a smile. We were almost to the cafeteria now.
"I wouldn't say that we are dating."
"Well not yet." She laughed walking off to the lunch line.
Cole pulled out my chair as usual when I got to the table. Cole and a friend were complaining about something with their Biology class. Serena and I started eating and I waited listening to them go back and forth.
"How was your morning?" He asked after a bit.
"Long. But okay."
"Mine too. Did you talk to your parents?"
"Yeah," the bell rang and Cole started walking me to class. "They said I could go but…you have to come meet my parents so they can talk to you and all that." I held my breath hoping that it wasn't going to be a problem.
"I think I can manage that." He smiled.
I let out the breath I was holding. "So, what exactly are we going to do?"
"Do you think your parents would be okay with a surprise?"
"A surprise?"
"Would you be okay with a surprise?"
"Um, yeah I can do that. But, this just means I'm not going to know how to dress."
"Casual. We can talk times in Study hall. I don't want to be late to Biology."
My mind went into overdrive thinking about the surprise. I was grateful that it was free day in Art. There was no way I would be able to concentrate.
"How did it go?" Serena asked when I sat down.
"Good."
"So where does he want to take you?"
"I don't know. He wants to surprise me."
"Aw, that is so romantic."
It really was I guess. Now I had to figure out just how casual to go. Either way I knew it was going to be a good time; at least I hoped it would be.
