Yep you need to heal and sleep helps with that and you really need to be a great health to go out with dad and tell him what you are going to tell him. Unless it really doesn't feel right at the time okay just gauge him and his moods.
She smiled and moved to lay beside him and snuggled against him kissing his cheek before closing her eyes and whispering I love you once more before she began to fall asleep
I am sure I'll be fine...your father and I have never really been at odds, we have disagreed, but always respected each other's perspectives and listened
I get he may not be as objective about you...but I am hoping we, at a minimum, will have a reasonable conversation where we listen and appreciate each other's persepectives
Billy knew her father as a good and reasonable, albeit highly confident and aggressive, business man...he had no reason to think this next conversation couldn't be handled with the same decorum
Billy had a restless night, he slept, and she felt good in his arrms, very good. However, he hadn't enjoyed their prior talk, how it had escalated, but was pleased at the conclusion. Staying rationale and sharing their truths would allow them to move on and keep building something together.
He was also suddenly concerned, deep down in his subconscious that her father would reject him. And while he loved Ember, from that perspective he could survive. He thought they would somehow overcome that and stay together, although that was perhaps idealistic. No, this was deeper, and went to the very core of how he thought of himself as a man. Her father, was almost, no really was more of a father, a man's whose respect meant everything to him, than anyone he had ever known. He had worked his ass off to make him proud and admire him.
If he did reject them, he was really rejecting him, and what did that say about what he thought he had accomplished these last several years and the relationship he had so coveted?
She snuggled in close trying to calm his sleep. She was worried too. Worried that her father would reject her saying she was just like her mother and stuff like that
She awoke early sleeping in a location that was not her own place. She stayed snuggled against him hoping her father would approve. She knew that her mother had turned him somewhat against marriage and such and anything more than flings when he allowed himself anything more than just an emotional affair.
Arms wrapping around him one hand moving to rest on his hip and cheek and the other slithering fingernails through his hair as she ground back against him.
