Sorry for making you guys wait so long. Anyway... HERE ARE MORE CHEESY MOMENTS
April's POV
"As for General Wilkins, he…" The teacher kept lecturing the lesson as I tried to stay awake for a few more minutes. This has to be one of most boring history class I've ever studied but the good news is there's only five minutes left until school is over. As I was anxiously waiting for the clock to hit, the teacher noticed me and threw a chalk at me.
"What did I do?" I yelled at her as she glared at me intensely.
"For goofing off the lesson, Miss-" Suddenly the bell rang as everyone tossed their things up into the air as the teacher sighed in disappointment.
"Fine, class dismissed" She annoyingly said as we all got out of class to enjoy the Friday night like hanging with friends, drinking beers and doing stupid things but as for me, I had another plan for this night. As I walked out of class, Dyson leaned on the lockers with smirk look on his face.
"How's yo-" I rushed in and kissed him as he quickly melted in the kiss and hugged my waist. We had been dating for a month now and still staying strong. But one thing we haven't done was introducing to our parents and that's what I am intended to do. We broke apart as I pulled up his hook to look at his beautiful emerald eyes…
"So, do you have plans for tonight?" He spoke up as I shook my head to escape his trance.
"Well… Let just say my parents want to see you" I said as he suddenly pushed me away and looked at me in confusion.
"Wait… Did you say your parents?" He nervously asked me as I nodded sort of.
"What's wrong? You don't like my parents?" I worriedly asked him.
"No, not that… It's just… It's just that I'm stressed with the whole 'introducing a boyfriend to a girlfriend's parents' thing"
"Oh don't worry… You gotta like them… Especially my mom" I tried to persuade him as he thought for a second before giving me an answer.
"What time is it?" He said as I happily smiled at him.
"6.00AM"
"Got it"
"And wear something formal while you at it"
"Thanks for reminding me that, Miss April" He teased me and kissed me before leaving to prepare the night.
"Look like Mom and Dad are going to be surprised when they see you, Dyson"
-Later That Night-
"Sweetie, someone is at the door?"
"I heard it mom" I said as I quickly applied some make-ups on and wore a midnight purple dress reached my thighs with a slit to my waist behind my back, black high heels and pair of earrings. I quickly went downstairs to the door and opened to see Dyson dressed in his tuxedo?
"I thought you already wore that at the prom night" I asked him as he just giggled and shrugged.
"Anyway, you like my new dress. My mom gave it to me for my 16th birthday"
"You look absolutely wonderful" He complimented me as I blushed and giggled at him.
"Thanks Dyson… Now come inside to meet my parents" I said and held his hand to lead him inside.
Dyson's POV
Once we were inside her house, a blonde woman in a business suit came in holding a dish of cooked chicken and placed it down on the table as soon as she noticed me.
"Oh, I didn't see you there… So you must her boyfriend… What's your name?"
"Dyson… Dyson McJohnson"
"Mrs. Pamela Yamato Johnson. Or you can call me Pamela whenever you like" She introduced herself as an unknown man came from upstairs and walked up to us.
"Honey, this is April's boyfriend Dyson. And Dyson, this is my husband and April's dad Mr. Andy" She introduced him as we looked at each other in confusion and doubted that we had seen each other from somewhere.
"How do you do, my son?" He casually said and held out his hand as I hesitantly shook his hand back.
"I'm fine sir"
"Dinner is ready. Dad and Dyson?" April said as we went to the kitchen and sat down on the table to enjoy the dinner and the peaceful night.
-1 Hour Later-
"Want some beef jerky, Dyson?"
"No thank you. I'm full"
"Me too" April said as we both laughed together. I had to admit, her mother was one hell of a cook. The dinner was quiet and peaceful just like what I wanted, but I noticed that her dad didn't make any eye contact or talk through out the dinner and during the dinner I was thinking where I had met him somewhere before.
"So Dyson… When did you become my daughter's boyfriend?" He finally spoke up.
"During prom night when I confessed my feelings for her"
"Is this true, April?"
"Of course, Dad. He's such a sweet and romantic guy I've ever met in my life" She said and kissed on my cheek as I slightly blushed.
"Why did you become my daughter's boyfriend?" He asked again as my head felt tickled about his voice sounded so familiar that I swore I had heard it somewhere before.
"Well… To protect her, take care of her and always be by her side" I said as he raised his eyebrow at me.
"Awww! Isn't he a gentleman to our daughter, right Andy?" She said as he drank his coffee and read the newspaper.
"I prefer the Brady one. He seems to be her type" I turned around to see April was annoyed when he mentioned the name 'Brady'. Guess that he never heard she said about her break-up with Brady.
"Excuse me but Brady isn't her type of guy, who's always going out with his buddy and not spending time with her" I politely said as he just stared at the newspaper.
"Okay then… Just look at the time, I got some clothes to wash. Be right back" April's mom said as she went to have some clothes washed?
"Maybe he just forgets"
"Forget?! I think the more approriate word is he abandoned her" I said as he glared at me and clutched the newspaper.
"Excuse me but I think Brady is stronger and politer then you are. Punk!" He raised his voice as I looked around to see April crossing her arms and looking mad, but she calmed down when she happily looked at me as I smiled back at her and then back at her father.
"Bullshit!" I exclaimed as her father slammed his hand on the table and then angrily got up, which spooked April a bit.
"What did you say?" He angrily said as I also got up and glared at him.
"I said that everything you said is bullshit! Brady didn't care about her, he cared only for himself and his fame so much that he completely abandoned her. And that's not all he did, he attacked her and I saved her" I told him the truth about 'Brady' as he just smirked at me.
"Oh really… I guess you had experienced it after you did the same to your ex… She must be really dumb to date you back then" I was enraged when he insulted not only me but my ex-girlfriend Lola. In fact, I was so enraged that I grabbed him by the collar and slammed him on the table. I then held his neck and ready to swing my fist.
"NOBODY INSULTS ME OR LOLA LIKE THAT EVEN IF SHE'S ALIVE OR NOT!"
"HONEY!"
"DYSON!" April and her mom panicky shouted as April ran up to me and pulled me back. Her mom helped her dad to get as he looked at with eyes filled with rage.
"Why you little punk! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE, YOU PUNK! I DON'T WANT TO SEE YOUR PUNK ASS EVER AGAIN" He yelled at me as April stood in front of me and tried to protect me.
"He's just telling the truth, Dad. In fact, he really did save me from Brady an-"
"Even if he saved you from Brady or not, he's still a punk. And punk never changes even if they are emotionally or physically traumatized or not" He insulted me as I intensely glared at him but finally calmed down when I realized there wouldn't be no end to this argument.
"Dad, he's-" I cut her off by kissing her on the lips. We broke apart as I pulled her away and left to the front door. I grabbed the door handle and turned around to see April was still sad and shock about my departure. And as for her parents, her mom looked at me in horror and her dad was still angry from before. As I opened the door and left the house, I said my final words
"And one more thing… You don't deserve to be her dad" I bid my goodbye and slammed the door in anger. As I came up to my bike, my phone suddenly rang as I answered the call.
"Who is it?"
"Dyson, it's me… Your dad"
"D-D-Dad?!"
April's POV
"You don't deserve to be her dad" He said and slammed the door as I waved him goodbye.
"Let me help you get up, Honey" She said as she helped him get off the table.
"Thanks dear… Good riddance that punk… Who he thinks he is… Messing with my family… Uh April, can you clean up the table?" He said as I turned around and cleaned up the table. As I was cleaning up the table, I spotted something and picked it up. It revealed to be a locket inscribed "April & Dyson… Together as one" as I clutched it and shed a tear.
"You know that he's just telling the truth" I turned around and said to him as he annoyingly raised his eyebrow at me.
"You still believe that punk of your is a sweetheart? Tha-"
"That's enough, Dad!" I yelled at him as he looked at me with those worried eyes.
"April?! What's going on with you? Ar-"
"Dyson is not just an ordinary punk… He's a special punk who actually has a heart... Remember when you told to forget what ever happened with Vincent?" I said as
"Yes but why?"
"I was still having nightmare about that day and that killer… I had tried everythings to get rid of it but it wouldn't go away… Until that night when rainstorm, he helped me get over the nightmare… And from that night on, I haven't had that nightmare again thanks to him" I said as he suddenly smirked at me.
"So he's actually broke into our house… I know it that the punk tried to steal our things"
"Are you even listening to me, Dad?"
"Of co-"
"Because you are always thinking about him being a punk not an actually person with a heart… He had been through a tragedy… His ex-girlfriend was killed and he was heart-broken… He almost committed suicide… He has been living the same nightmare he had two years ago… And it hadn't been for me, he would have continued to live with his painful memory again" I tried to reason with him as he just looked at me with those confused eyes
"But April-"
"No buts, Dad… He's just like one of us… He has emotions, feelings… Just like any human beings… Unlike you dad" As the droplet of tear fell onto the locket, I looked up at my dad to see if he fully understood what I meant. He sat down on the chair feeling confused and puzzled until he looked up at me and grabbed his phone.
"Hello police, I want to make a restraining order… Yes, Mr. Andy Johnson… To keep my daughter away from a punk named Dyson… Thank you" He said as I stood there and looked at him in shock and disbelief.
"Why Dad?! Why did you do that?" I asked him as he stood up and hugged me.
"To protect you of course… From that punk of your" He said as I pulled him away from me.
"I already have one… And it's Dyson" I said as he just glared at me more. He looked down and spotted the locket I was holding.
"Give me that thing" He demanded and snatched it away from me.
"Give it back, Dad" I yelled at him as he stared at the locket and clutched it in anger. I looked up at me and glared at me with rage filled eyes as I stepped back in fear.
"I have tried to take care of you… To protect you from danger… And even giving you a good life and a boyfriend you always wanted… And this is how you repay me… By dating that punk and caring for him" He ranted and came closer to me as I slowly backed away from him.
"Please Dad, you must understand" I pleaded as he did the unthinkable… He slapped me.
"You are forbidden to go everywhere near that punk again" He warned me as I covered my cheek and cried out the tears. I looked up at him as he began shifting his emotion from anger to regret after realizing what he had done.
"April… I'm sorry" He apologized as I looked in anger and sadness.
"You know what… Dyson was right about one thing… You don't deserve to be my father" I said and quickly ran upstairs to my room without looking at him. Once in my room, I locked the door and sat down on my bed. I grabbed the picture of my dad and me when I was just a baby and looked at it. The one, who raised me up, protected me, took care of me and even educated me, was nothing more a heartless fatherly figure tried to rip me apart from my love and lie to me. I looked at the picture one more time and angrily threw it at the door as it shattered into pieces.
"I HATE YOU!" I shouted in anger and buried into the pillow sobbing and knowing that I wouldn't able to see Dyson ever again for life.
-Meanwhile-
Manny's POV
"Here you go buddy" The taxi driver said and parked in front of the house. I looked out the window to see Dyson and his bike was still there.
"Thanks driver"
"Don't thank me, I'm just doing my job" He said as I just giggled in delight and took out the money to pay for my taxi ride.
"Anyway, here you go" I gave him the cash and got out of the taxi.
"Just call me anytime if you want to go somewhere… Good bye, partner" He said and drove off to pick up his next passenger as I waved him goodbye. I turned around and came up to Dyson, who was sitting on the porch.
"Sound like you two are buddy somehow, am I right?" I sat down next to him and laid my hand over his shoulder.
"You are completely wrong, Dyson… It's nice to see you again, Son"
"It's nice to hear from you again, Dad" He said and laid his hand over my shoulder too. We eventually retracted our hand and sat apart from each other to avoid misunderstanding.
"It has been 8 months since you last contracted us. What keep you holding?"
"Ah, homework as usual… I was intended to contract you but it escaped my mind completely"
"Ah, me too son… Anyway, you said that April's dad worked at McDonald, right?" I curiously asked as he just sighed. I guessed that as a yes answer then.
"How, Dyson?"
"I recognized his voice when we first introduced to each other. He was the same guy that I ordered the hamburgers on the first day of school" He said as I felt confused and tried to figure out why Andy would lie to me about being a salesman.
"Wanna come inside?"
"I don't know… There was a quarrel between April and her dad and it didn't go well" He said as I looked around to see a tree by the window, which gave me an idea.
"Here's the plan: You climb into the window while I go inside and try to convince her father" I said as he looked around to find something to climb up.
"You got it, Dad" He stood up and ran up to the tree as I stood up and knocked at the door just like planned. But except for convincing part, I would have a little talk about this lie of his.
Dyson's POV
"You got it, Dad" I got up and went to the tree and began climbing up. I stopped when I spotted the window and then carefully walked on the branch to reach it. As I reached the end of the branch, I opened the window and went inside whosever room it was. Once I was inside, I looked around the room to see it was April's room. I heard her crying and turned around to see her was crying on her bed. I came up to her and patted on her shoulder as I turned around and looked at me with tearful and hurtful eyes.
"Is that you, Dyson?" She faintly said as I pulled her in for a hug. She hugged me back and cried over my shoulder.
"I thought I would never see you again" I pulled her away and wiped the tears off her face as she relievedly looked at me.
"It's okay now, I'm here… And I'll never leave your side" I said as she happily smiled at me and rested her head on my chest.
"DYSON, COME DOWN HERE PLEASE!" My dad shouted as she looked up at me in worry.
"Don't worry, my dad is here" I said and got up holding her hand and led downstairs and enjoyed the show with her by my side.
-Meanwhile-
Manny's POV
"I'm coming. Just wait for a moment" A woman said as I stood there waiting after knocking at the door.
"Who… MANNY?!" She shouted my name in surprise and shock as I just waved and winked at her.
"ANDY, COME QUICK!"
"WHAT IS IT, DEAR?"
"IT'S OUR OLD FRIEND MANNY!" She said loudly as sound of him tumbling over something and his footsteps could be heard. Finally, he came out and was soaked with sweat and apple juice?
"Sorry for being late… I tumbled over the table and spilled over some apple juice… Anyway, welcome back buddy" He said and spread his arm as I immediately hugged him tightly.
"Not so… tight there… old pal" He faintly said through his breathing as I let him go so that he could catch his breath.
"Sorry about that" I apologized as he slowly caught his breath and glared at me, which made both of us burst out of laughing.
"Enough laughing you two… Come on in, I have lemonade" She said as we both shrugged at each other and rolled our eyes at her. We eventually went in and sat down on the sofa. I will never forget the memories I had when I was 18. It was a riot back then but it would have been more riots if he hadn't been there to help me. We have been friend since high school and still friend we are.
"It has been a very long time since I last heard you moving to live in Britain"
"It's been a long time" I said and reclined on the sofa as silence came in and covered the room.
"So… Any trouble with kids lately?" He spoke up to break the silence as I slowly got up.
"Not entirely… Why?" I asked him as he sighed and had a frustrated look on him.
"Look at April… She's just exaggerated about this punk kid, who had a human heart and suffered through his nightmare and stuffs" He spat out about his daughter's exaggeration as I just looked at him with a serious look.
"Maybe you haven't told her the truth yet" I said as he looked at me in shock and surprise.
"DYSON, COME DOWN HERE PLEASE!" I called out and waited for my son to come down as Andy also waited while feeling shock and confused. Finally, Dyson came down whlie holding some girl's hand and sat down on the couch as Andy looked at them and at me with those expressions earlier.
"WAIT, THAT'S PUNK IS YOUR SON?! WHY YOU DON'T TELL ME ABOUT IT?!" He stood up and confusingly asked I chanted his name to calm him down so that I could talk to him.
"I know you are confused and shock but please just calm down and listen to me, okay?" I ordered and calmed Andy down as he just sat there feeling confused.
"My son here said that you worked at McDonald on his first day of school… Why would you lie to me about being a salesman just like you promised that year?! We're best friend and friend should trust each other… Why?!" I explained and seriously asked him as he just hung head down and clutched his two hands together and sat silently until he looked up at me in regret?
"I owed the Brady's family"
"You WHAT?!" I surprisingly asked him as Dyson and the girl looked at him in confusion and shock.
"You hear me… I owed them" He said in anger and frustration but his face was changed into regret and dispair.
"After I finished the night shift, I went back to my home to see a letter sent by Hector"
"Hector?" I asked as he simply nodded. Hector was once a school football star and also a bully during middle school. He bullied everyone he came across even cheerleader until I intervened and put a stop to his bullying spree. I wondered if he was Brady's dad.
"Anyway… When I read the letter, I found out that he had stolen my credit card and used it to withdraw all the money in my bank account"
"That's slimey eel" I exclaimed in anger as he just rolled his eyes and continued the story.
"And he wouldn't give me back all the money until…"
"Unitl what?" I curiously asked.
"Until I agreed to let my daughter April date Hector's son Brady"
"So that explains why you were trying to defend Brady" Dyson said as his daughter April suddenly stood up with anger on her face.
"So the whole thing between me and Brady was just a set-up?!" She angrily asked as sound of broken dishes made us turn around to see Pamela overhear our conversation.
"Is this true honey?" She said as Andy stood up and came up to her.
"I'm sorry that I had to lie to you about anything I said… So can you forgive me?" He said in regret as his wife suddenly hugged him.
"Of course, I can forgive you even if my husband has been lying for all this time" She relievedly said as Andy hugged her back.
"Thanks Manny for helping me tell the truth" He thanked me as I gave him a thumb up.
April's POV
"And you April"
"Ye-es-s Dad?" I nervously asked him.
"You're right about Dyson… From now on, you can date him anytime you want to"
"You mean it?" He nodded as I happily jumped up and hugged Dyson then he hugged me back.
"You hear that Dyson. We're going to spend times together now"
"Yeah Red, the best news I've ever heard of my life" He said as we closed in for a kiss knowing that we are finally together once again.
