Note: So, here I am again. I'm so sorry for the delay I've been having lately, but I hardly find any time to write. But since I really want this story to end soon, I want to give this story a tiny little bit priority on the rest of the story's. So, chapter thirteen this is.
Sandy sighed loudly. He'd just brought Kirsten to bed and he was now watching television. Sandy saw how it was tearing Kirsten apart that her father wasn't on speaking terms with her. And it was so difficult for Sandy to see his Kirsten getting more sad every single day. The little note she'd received that day had been enough for him. He wanted to do something about Caleb's awful behaviour towards his daughter... He nééded to do something about it. And Sandy had an idea to do so...
When Kirsten woke up the next morning, the sun was shining through her curtains. When she looked at her alarm clock, she saw she'd been sleeping the entire morning; it already was one in the afternoon. She walked to the kitchen and smiled when she saw Sandy had made her breakfast. Although the coffee was cold, she really appreciated his gesture. She saw he'd also left her a note.
Hi honey,
I hope you've slept well. I hope you feel a little better than you did last night. Call me if you need me! I'm sorry I didn't wait for you this morning, but I had to do some stuff for work. I hope I'll be home with dinner. I love you... xx.
Kirsten smiled. His note was sweet. She did feel better than the night before, but still felt kind of miserable. She'd never realised how much she needed her dad untill now. While she started to eat her breakfast, she wondered what exactly Sandy was doing.
Meanwhile, Sandy arrived in Newport Beach. He'd never met Caleb –and to be honest he was kinda glad he didn't,- and this was going to be the first time. If Caleb would like to see him. Sandy realised that Caleb would probably never like him, but he felt like it was his duty to let Caleb see what he was missing without Kirsten in his life. Sandy felt slightly nervous when he arrived at the Newport Group, and hoped Caleb would be in his office. He payed for his cab and walked out of the car, to the huge building in front of him. When he walked in, he walked straight to the desk where he saw a young woman sitting, typing on her computer. "Hello, can I help you?" Sandy tried to sound confident when he said: "Hi, I'm Sandy Cohen. I'm here to say Caleb Nicol." "Do you have an appointment?" "No." "I'm sorry, but you have to have an appointment to see mister Nicol. He's a very busy man." Sandy knew this could happen. "Tell him it's very important. It's about his daughter." The lady apparently saw Sandy was serious, 'cause she said: "I'll see what I can do. What was your name again?" "Cohen, Sandy." The lady nodded and pointed to a waiting room a little further. "You can wait there, I'll tell you when I'm able to get a hold of mister Nicol." Sandy nodded and walked to the chairs. He grabbed a silly magazine about stock exchanges and started reading.
Almost half an hour later Sandy looked at his watch. He was getting sick of waiting. It was as if the lady behind the desk could hear his thoughts, 'cause a couple of minutes later she walked to him. "I'm sorry mister Cohen, mister Nicol does not want to see you. Can I pass him a message?" Sandy was cooking inside, but tried to stay reasonable. "I need to see him." "I'm sorry, but he says he's too busy to receive any visits." Sandy saw Caleb's office was right in front of him, and decided to ignore what the lady had said. He walked right into Caleb's office, whom was at that moment typing something at his computer. Right behind Sandy was Caleb's secretary standing. "I'm sorry mister Nicol, I couldn't stop him." "It's okay. You can leave." The secretary did what was told her and closed the door. Before Sandy could talk, Caleb starting talking. "I want you to leave right now and if you don't I'll call security immidiately." Sandy answered: "I want you to listen to me. I'll introduce myself first, I'm Sandy Cohen. The man your daughter's living with." Sandy saw Caleb's face getting red of anger. "Out. Now!" Sandy shook his head. "You're going to listen to me. You have no idea what Kirsten's going through right now. She's trying to do what's best for her, what she wants, but all you do is judging her because she doesn't want to work at you company anymore and didn't marry Sam. She's trying só hard to do what she can do to make the best of her life, but she needs you. She can't chose between you and me. She wants both of us in her life. I'm not saying you have to like me, I'm not saying that at all. All I ask of you, is a relationship with your daughter. She's missing you, and it's tearing her apart that you're ignoring her." He took a second to catch his breath and Caleb used that to speak again. "I want you to leave right now mister Cohen." Sandy sighed. His plea wasn't having any effect at all. "I just hope you realise you'll lose your daughter for ever if you keep doing what you're doing." With those words, Sandy stood up and walked out of Caleb's office, leaving a astonished Caleb behind.
Note: So, this was it for today. I hope you enjoyed it and as usual, please let me know what you think of this chapter!
