Ok now let's see what's going on with Cosmo's dad, Cosmo herself and Seth as he rejected the blessing. How will they resolve this matter and why did he say no in the first place?

Let's read on.

Cosmo couldn't believe that her father really said that to her. It was clear as though he didn't have faith in her and her decisions.

"Why would you say that? This is suppose to be good news, happy news at that. And you're saying that its not going to last?" Cosmo trembled, the anger visibly clear all over her body language.

Seth knew how hurt she was. He was indeed hurt as well but Cosmo was worse, as he saw the unshed tears in her eyes. Her father was her rock, her best friend ever since their mom abandoned them. He couldn't understand why he was against them being together and showing their love to everyone.

"It's the truth. I'm sorry Cosmo but its not a good idea. Your mother-"

"Mom has nothing to do with this!" She shouted defensively. "And I've found someone who is my life and gives me everything."

"That's how it all starts, sweetheart." He sighed, sitting up. "But planning a wedding takes time and even then, you two haven't even thought this thoroughly, especially as marriage isn't just some kind of walk in the park."

"I know that. And we both know that. But what you don't understand, is that I don't want to be with anyone else."

"I know Justin wasn't perfect but you told me he was your first. And what about Dolph Ziggler? Can't you call him up to give him another chance?"

In that moment, Cosmo grew even more angry at the fact that her father was disrespecting her fiance' as if he wasn't even there.

"I don't think its fair, that you are disrespecting my fiance in that way." Her chest rose, indicating that she was trying to keep her cool without bursting into tears. "And I don't want Dolph Ziggler. I don't want any other man because they don't understand me. Maybe back then, I wouldn't have thought about marriage or relationship, but when I'm with Seth, he's made me realize he can give me so much. He can be that one. Hell, he is that one for me."

"Honey I'm sorry but its just not-

"I don't even want to hear it." She raised her hand, to which Mr. Valencia raised his brow.

"Are you talking back to me, young lady? Remember who raised you." He said sternly, coughing as his system was starting to shut down.

"Well I'm not a little girl anymore. I'm a grown woman. The only reason why you are so against this marriage is because of what mom did to you. You couldn't even fight for her! I hate for what she's done to you but we are not the same people. Things have changed and what Seth gives me, he gives me more than anyone I have ever been with and all you want to do is treat me like I'm some kid that doesn't even know what I'm doing, let alone even trust me!"

She grabbed her jacket and her purse, about to walk out in anger. She felt so embarrassed that she wished she never even came here.

"Cosmo-"

"No." She stopped him again, as he could hear the hurt in her voice. "I would've thought you'd be happy for me. I would really love for you to see me in my wedding dress and walk me down the aisle and give me away. I want to cherish that with the only family I have left that broke his back for me when we were homeless and out on the street. I would have thought you would be so proud of me, not resent me for it."

As Seth called for her, she already left, having tears down to her cheeks. It was now only Seth and her father left in the room.

...

Cosmo knew exactly where to go as she got off the bus. She walked about two blocks until she came to the correctional facility. She wrote down her information as she looked around the building, knowing that she was in the scariest place there was.

Prison.

She walked with the officer as Cosmo gave her her full name and showed her information.

"You sure about this?" The officer questioned her, warning how dangerous she was.

Cosmo had a choice to either go back and face her father and be with Seth...or she had the opportunity to make peace for the sake of her family.

"I'm sure." She said boldly.

She was in the visiting area as other family members came to see the inmates.

"Leila Thomas, you have a visitor." The officer dragged her in as Cosmo had a look at Leila.

Her hair was fading and she had bags under her eyes and was in a bright orange jumpsuit as she was chained from her wrists down to her ankles. Still as mean as she was when she was first taken into the cell. Some things never change.

Leila's eyes flew up in shock as she saw Cosmo as the officers made her sit down as she watched over the two of them.

"What are you doing here, you fucking slut? You come to gloat about how you got Seth from me? How you stole him from me?"

Cosmo sighed, trying not to let her annoyance get the best of her but she should've known better that this was not going to be easy dealing with Leila, the worst woman to ever cross the face of this earth.

"Actually, I could...but I don't want to do that." She surprised her.

"Then why are you here then.."

Cosmo pulled her sweater up over her shoulders, feeling the breeze.

"First things first, I believe we have a few things to discuss before we come to that final conclusion..."

...

Seth knew Cosmo was very upset as he tried to call her cellphone but it went straight to voicemail. He looked at her father, who showed no emotion on his face, but in his eyes, he knew he made the wrong move.

"Mr. Valencia-"

"No, don't make excuses for me." He sighed heavily, knowing he did the one thing he swore to himself that he wouldn't do, and that was hurt his own daughter. It wasn't her fault that his life turned out to be hell in his marriage. He just didn't want the same thing to happen to her.

"Ever since her mother...I've truly given up on love to be honest. I've even told her that it doesn't exist. What's even more messed up is that I told her to use them before they use you up, so she would protect herself. I know I'm the worst father ever and a pretty shitty husband at that. God knows what my ex wife is doing and maybe if she hadn't done what she had done, I would have had the heart to forgive her. But how can you forgive someone whose tried to kill you and your child, the child you created and chose drugs over?"

Seth actually understood what he meant and where he was coming from. He went about it the wrong way but he knew as a father, he wanted nothing but the best for his only daughter, who he felt was losing her.

Her mother caused nothing but pain in their lives and they were still repressing over it. Seth remembered when Cosmo broke down in tears about it that day when he caught her with drugs and would hold her tight until she let all of her emotions out, not wanting her to feel like she was alone.

Even though he had a wonderful mother himself and couldn't relate to it, he still knew what it felt like to not even knowing who your parents were. Seth only had his stepfather as he told Cosmo about how his father walked out on him and his whole family.

Seth knew he would one day experience that when it was time for him and Cosmo to have a child. He could see Mr. Valencia was in so much heartache after losing the love of his life.

He sat down on the bed next to her father, who looked paler and much weaker. He may have been 75 but he looked to be at least 55.

"I've known Mrs. Valencia since middle school. She was my first love and my first kiss. If you were to go back in time, you could see she was the most beautiful woman ever. All the guys wanted to be with her and I felt like I won the lottery when we came together. She was unique, bright, and she knew all the right things to say to make a man beg for her attention and give her the world if you could. He went on. "Now that's all gone...she destroyed that. I know I'm partly to blame too if I hadn't had any disabilities, maybe she would have stayed around."

The lines around Mr. Valencia's face grew as he was in his heavy depression. Seth deeply understood his pain and why he was against the marriage

"I know you are worried about her. And you even believe she can do better and to be honest, I agree. She could do a whole lot better than me." He sighed, thinking of the past. However, his eyes showed determination as he continued.

"I'm sorry for what happened to you and I'm sorry that you and Cosmo had to go through that. I've had my share of mistakes and I can admit I've hurt Cosmo before and have been a real asshole to her, but I love that woman more than anything and I'm willing to go through hell for her. She never gave up on me about anything. She is amazing and she's strong, determined and is a blessing. She's perfect for me."

"Mr. Rollins.."

"Just let me finish, sir." He spoke. "She would love to have you there for our wedding. I could never take your daughter away from you, as I know how much she loves you. However, despite what you say or think, I love Cosmo and I want her in my life. We are still going to get married and if you decide not to show up, you are the one that's making a big mistake and I don't take it lightly when someone hurts my fiance', even if it is one of her only family."

And with that, Seth got up as he left, leaving Mr. Valencia with his pondering words as he went to find Cosmo and check on her.

"I just don't understand sometimes.." She sighed as she started unpacking her things. It was a pain in the ass with moving all of her things as well as Muffins into his apartment. Soon, Seth would get her name on the lease and it would soon be their apartment.

Cosmo loved Seth's apartment as it was spacious enough but not too big like Skylar and Roman's condo. There was even a pool and a gym nearby as well as a diner cafe.

It took them over an hour as they got all of Cosmo's things and he helped her with her clothes to make room in the closet with his. After they finished unpacking, they cuddled up on the couch, watching "Sleepaway Camp." as they were sharing a bowl of chocolate covered popcorn and pretzels with chipotle that they ordered.

"You know your father means well. I know he just doesn't want to lose you."

"I just want him to be there.." She sighed. "But I don't want his feelings to change about you marrying me."

"Woman, I've been waiting too damn long for your ass to come around and to love me and I've finally told you how I felt, even stealing you from Dolph Ziggler. Do you really think how your dad feels is going to stop me from marrying you?" He looked at her as if she was nuts.

Cosmo giggled as he made a dorky funny face to prove his point.

"Besides, who else is gonna love my corny ass?"

"You're not corny..although I still remember when you and I were having that Harry Potter battle with that battle of wizards."

"You did a spell called, "Kick Seth in the legs and run, which was not funny." He pouted adorably. "You cheated."

"I did not!" She feigned shock. "I just flashed my boobs THEN I kicked you in your legs and ran."

They both laughed again as Cosmo went back to resting on Seth's chest as he stroked her hair lovingly, as she twirled the engagement ring on her finger. They had set a date as they had decided to get married within the next month. Cosmo had decided on a Bohemian wedding. Seth knew it was part of her hippie personality and he loved that side of her, even starting to grow accustomed to it.

Of course everyone loved the idea. However, Skylar of course whined about it and said "I already have one hippie, I don't need two more!" But she loved the idea although she wouldn't admit it.

Skylar was indeed her maid of honor as Renee and AJ Lee would be her bridesmaids. She tried to call Skylar's sister Kenzi to see if she would still be attending as she said she would, but it would be a little later.

There was indeed much planning to do but Seth decided to handle half of it, just so she wouldn't go into bridezilla mode. He knew it would happen sooner or later but he wanted to ease some of the stress off of her.

Cosmo was unusually quiet this afternoon as she chewed on her thumb, a sign indicating that something was wrong.

"What's wrong, my little Tinkerbell?" He paused the movie as he tilted her chin up, pecking her lips softly. She was a little nervous to meet his eyes but she knew she had to tell him. Sooner or later he would find out and she didn't want to start their relationship off with secrets.

"When you went to work the other day...I got a call offer for a business to work in an art gallery. This man was impressed with my paintings and said he would even help me with a start up business of my own and that it would boost my career as an artist.

Seth cracked a smile at her. He knew this was her dream as he hugged her. "Baby, that's great! I know how much you've wanted to do more with your art. You should be proud of yourself. Why are you so down though?"

"Well..that's not the bad news. The thing is.." She sat up, going into an Indian Style Pose. "I went to go see Leila in prison..while you were still in the nursing home with my father that day..."

Seth's eyes bulged open. "What? Why would you go see her? You realize what that bitch did? Are you crazy-"

"Just listen and here me out." Cosmo tried to explain.

Seth was pissed but he would hear her out. He just couldn't understand why she would go see that destructive bitch after all she's put them through, tearing them apart.

"I went to go make peace." She told him. "I wanted to know why she was doing what she was doing, why was she being so heartless and cold."

"Ok.." Seth listened intently.

"Of course she couldn't attack me because she was handcuffed but she kept saying over and over "you took what was mine." She sipped her tea, chewing her lip as she tried to find the right words. God knows this wasn't a field trip to Disneyland for Cosmo but something in her heart told her to go see Leila.

"I guess you can say that..I understand in a way, why she did what she did. Why she even went as far as trying to kill me. Do I excuse her behavior? Hell no. Am I glad she's in jail and I want her to stay there? You bet your ass I do. But what I can see is that she was losing that touch with reality of losing you and she went on the breaking point. When you lose someone, you'll do anything to get them back. All I told her was that, I forgive her and that I'm sorry she hates me so much to where she wanted me dead. She showed no remorse but I can say that I did it for us, and for us to have peace in our lives and to move on."

Seth sighed heavily, rubbing his face trying not to show frustration about it but at the same time, he knew Cosmo meant well.

"I guess you're pretty pissed. I understand.." She fidgeted with her hair, as Seth always made her nervous when he was upset. "I'll just take Kevin and Muffin out for a-"

"No sweetheart, come here." She looked at him shyly.

"Please, sweetheart. Come to me."

She went over to him as he pulled her into his lap as she wrapped her arms around his neck, her fingers into his soft damp hair.

"I understand why you did it. I'm not mad at you sweetheart. I have no reason to be. I just didn't like you went to go see her because of how she's tried to hurt you. I still won't forget that you almost died in that hospital and how I almost lost you because I wasn't man enough to tell you that I wasn't being blackmailed."

"Seth..."

"Just hear me out, sweetheart." He touched her hand, kissing her fingers. "I love you so much. I just feel so protective of you, you know? I know you can handle yourself and you've always been a peaceful person deep down and yet you're a fucking bad ass. It's why you make me so happy and still do."

Cosmo blushed as she hid her face into his neck, smiling. "I just wanted to be honest with you."

"And I love you even more for that." He looked into her crystal blue orbs that were so beautiful and sexy. He still asked himself why did he wait so long to be with her.

"Honestly, I was in love with you, even when I was already in a relationship with Leila. You know that night when I caught you masturbating?"

She nodded slowly, looking at him strangely.

"I wanted to take you out on that pool side, if you know what I mean." He slowly licked the side of her neck as he ran his hand up her leg and up to her shorts, making her shake.

"Seth..." She whimpered softly, starting to get into her submissive nature. She loved to be in control but when Seth was in control, she loved how he would push her button to pleasure her until she couldn't take anymore.

"Get everything off. Now." He ordered her, his dominant side taking over.

...

It didn't take long as Cosmo had her shirt off, her legs were spread as Seth was on his knees, eating out her pussy, massaging her clit with his tongue as she panted heavily. She couldn't grab onto him as he placed her in handcuffs, as he loved the sound of her moans as he smiled, knowing that he was doing his job right. When it came to him and Cosmo, every orgasm she had was real because of him and it was always intense.

"S-S-Seth..." She twisted her body around, losing control but Seth kept her body still as he lapped up her sweet juices, loving how she smelt and how she was so responsive.

"I love this sweet pussy, Tinkerbell. You are so sensitive, you know." He chuckled lowly in his throat as he pulled out a Wand Massager as he turned it on, rubbing it against her clit as she squirmed with delight, slightly growling at him.

"You are such a bastard..." She moaned, trying to get out the handcuffs but Seth only responded by sucking on her clit.

"But you love it though." He smirked as he would increase the speed on the Wand, making her legs jerk as he held them down, forcing them open as she had to take in everything he was giving her. "Tell me baby, do you want more?"

Watching her face twist up in pleasure, as she was trembling, goosebumps forming on her skin was every moment that Seth loved to watch as he gave her that new height of pleasure, wanting her to feel that she couldn't handle anymore.

Her juices were leaking all over his sofa as he continued to massage her swollen sensitive clit with the wand, making her cry out loudly as she was begging, on the verge of sobbing.

"Please Seth.." She cried.

"Please what, beautiful.." He turned the wand up higher, the vibrations killing her. "Scream baby...scream."

"Please I can't..." Cosmo found herself becoming weak. Never in all her years of being the sex goddess was she the one to tap out. It was always her who had the men begging for more, who would make them tap out.

She knew then she met her match with this man.

"Sure you can, gorgeous." He pulled off his shirt as Cosmo bit her lip, loving the thin layer of hair on his chest down to his abs. "I'm only just getting started..."

He had her ass hanging off the sofa as he started slurping her pussy, her eyes popping open as she had a guttural scream as he assaulted her clit, her juices wet as it got into his trimmed beard. She was on that edge of excitement and she finally found herself squirting all over his mouth as he licked his lips, her small drops of juices on his chest as he licked her clean.

"Mmmmm..." He moaned, indeed satisfied with her cum as she still squirted.

As sensitive as she was, he was also a greedy and selfish bastard as he guided her entrance inside of her, making her whimper loudly as he pushed her legs back.

"Be my good girl and take this cock. Its yours, do you understand?"

Cosmo nodded, unable to perform a complete sentence as she opened herself up to more of him.

She didn't even have time to prepare herself as he slammed right into her, his thickness filling her up as she had tears coming down her eyes. It was amazing and felt so damn good to her.

He cradled her in his arms as he softly kissed her neck, running his fingers through her hair as he was moving in and out of her at a steady pace which wasn't too slow but wasn't too fast either.

He removed the handcuffs as she was free enough to where they wrapped their arms around each other, with Seth caressing her back, her moans were sweet music to his ears as she dug her nails into his shoulder blades, as they kissed each other. Seth was on top of her as he looked in her eyes and she mocked his actions.

It was that look of love, passion and the connection they had buried down for so long, finally coming out as they expressed it from their lovemaking , Seth continuing to steadily pound into her body as she took it.

He bounced her up and down slowly as her moans were higher and higher, as she threw her head back with Seth's breathing was heavy and unsteady as he was on the verge of cumming himself.

The strands of her hair were sticking to her forehead with sweat as she finally collapsed, her orgasm come in pieces as she came hard, screaming out Seth's name as he continued to ride her, helping her continue with her orgasm.

He brushed her hair out of her eyes as she was shaking, trying to overcome that hard hitting bliss, tears down her eyes as she felt as though she couldn't breathe.

Seth kissed her forehead as she fell on his chest as he pulled the blanket over them, both of them falling into a nap as they were enjoying the afterglow of their love making.
