𝐘/𝐧'𝐬 𝐏𝐎𝐕

I walked into my dad's home office as he stood in front of the white board which had writing and post it notes all over it. He had a marker between his teeth as he crossed his arms over his chest.

I missed this, I stood back just watching him think. I knew he was brainstorming new bits for work. He used to call me into his office when he'd be working and said it helped him come up with things because I was his inspiration and reason for working hard. It brought back a lot of old memories.

He finally noticed me standing by the door when he turned around. "Hey, I didn't know you were down here." He smiled as I walked over towards the board. "New skit?" I asked as I read the words on the post it note, laughing to myself as I read some of his ideas. "Yes it is. You know, I always thought you'd become a comedian, you liked to put on little stand up shows in my living room." My dad commented making me smile. "Yeah, I remember, I tried to use your lamp as a prop and ended up breaking it when I yanked it out of the wall."

"You had the whole room in tears." My dad laughed as he looked at me and I just smiled to myself. It's nice to be around him again. He was my hero growing up and when he started to drift away, it broke me, more than I'd like to admit. I've always admired my dad, he was my biggest inspiration.

"I know we haven't had much of an opportunity to really sit down and talk but, just know, that's at the forefront of my mind. I'm really happy to have you here, I've been so excited just to have a chance to spend time with you."

"Yeah, Scarlett told me." I replied. "Yeah, I've probably been driving her nuts. I can't wait for you two to get to know each other better, she's a really special woman."

I know her better than you think. "Cosmo was really excited to meet you, he reminds me of you when you were little, practically bouncing off the walls with energy."

Before I could respond, my dad's phone rang. I continued scoping out his office which surprisingly had pictures of me and him almost everywhere. I can't say he was a complete douche of a dad because I'd be lying.

"Hey, I have to go to the studio but, I shouldn't be back too late, are you okay here?"

"I'm actually going out with Madison soon." He nodded before going to his desk retrieving a key and handing it to me. "Just in case you come back before Scarlett." He hugged me and kissed my forehead before grabbing his keys and heading out of the office.

. . .

"You look beautiful." Madison mocked as we walked into her place. I rolled my eyes annoyed that this was still the topic of discussion. "Madison, for the hundredth time, it was a compliment to a friend-"
