It was a quiet Saturday afternoon and Adalynn was at her boyfriends Manor playing chess with him in his inner sanctum and Father was wining. "Check mate my love" Father said in a smug tone "I'll get you yet hon" Adalynn said with a smile before her phone rang "Hello" "Hello Princess"   "Hi dad" Adalynn Replied  "Guess what princess your mom and I along with rest of  the family are coming to Cleveland for dinner at William's next Sunday" "Dad that's awesome" Adalynn looked at Father who is setting the chess board back in order for another game and she blushes .

"Dad is it okay If I bring a friend of mine to dinner" Adalynn asks her Dad "Sure princess your friend Amy is always welcomed" her dad said "Dad it's not Amy it's a guy my boyfriend" "What!" Her dad yelled while in the background Adalynn heard her mom "Give me the phone Philip our baby girl has boyfriend oh I'm so happy" Her Mom said excitedly.

"That makes one of us Mary Jane" Philip said as he handed the phone to his wife before he stomped off "Addy" "Hi Mommy" "you can bring your boyfriend sweetie I can't wait to meet him" "okay mommy see you next Sunday" "okay  bye sweetie " "bye mommy" they both hung up. "So Ben would you like to meet my Family. "Sure if it will make you happy my dearest Adalynn" Father said before he kissed Adalynn which made her blush  even more.
