The new kid

Chapter 22

Jake's POV: This can't continue. It's not good for anyone. I have to talk to Dan.. I got up early and went to Erika's house. I knocked on the door and he opened it

Jake: Good morning

Dan: What do you want?!

Jake: Talk. Just talk. - he step aside and let me in

Dan: Ok. Talk then

Jake: Why do you hate me Dan?

Dan: I don't hate you.. I just don't like you.

Jake: Why? All I do is make sure Erika is happy, shouldn't you be happy with that?

Dan: Well, yeah...

Jake: I've never been disrespectful, or anything like that towards you... I just don't get it.

Dan: I think is.. the fact that I have to share my baby girl with some other dude..

Jake: Oh..

Dan: I was an idiot.. I'm sorry Jake

Jake: It's ok. I get it sir, I do. But Erika loves you, I mean you are her father of course she loves you. I know she loves me, as I love her, but you are her father, no one can change that, and no one can replace you sir

Dan: Thanks Jake. And you can easy with the "sir"...

Jake: Thanks.. and I'm not trying to be rude but, maybe you should talk to Erika..

Dan: Yeah.. I'll pass by later. - I nodded

Jake: I'll get going. I have to do breakfast for the crew

Dan: Good luck

Jake: Yeah, thanks.

I left the house and went back to Lucas. I got there and he was starting to make breakfast

Jake: I was gonna do that.

Lucas: Where were you?

Jake: At Erika's..

Lucas: You talked to Dan?

Jake: Yeah

Lucas: And?

Jake: It's cool. We're good.

Lucas: Thank god

Jake: He will come later, to talk to her

Lucas: Ok.

We finished breakfast and the crew started to come downstairs.

Sunny: Is just missing Rik

Jake: You guys eat, I'm gonna wake her up

All: Ok

I went upstairs and she was peacefully sleeping. I got near her and kissed her cheek

Jake: Babe.. we are all eating breakfast.

Erika: Humm..

Jake: Are you hungry? - she nodded

Erika: What time is it? - she said slowly opening her eyes

Jake: Almost 10.

Erika: I'm gonna get ready

Jake: Ok I'll wait for you - she gave me a peck and went to the bathroom. A while later she came out ready for the day and we left the room. I was about to go down the stairs when she jumped on my back

Erika: Carry me - she giggles

Jake: Ok.. - we got to the kitchen and the crew was eating

Erika: Morning guys
