CHAPTER 34
NARRATIVE

It's finally spring break, my dad was going to come visit and meet my boyfriend. though this kind of ruined the family plans of going to Aruba but instead we are just going in summer.

I pull up to the airport to pick my dad up and take him to the motel 6 closest to my house. He suggested Alejandro come have dinner with us tonight. Of course my mom wouldn't come because, awkward.

I was on a call with Alejandro to tie me together because the drive to the airport is boring. "Bye." Alejandro says as I parked the car in the parking garage so I could find my dad in the airport at baggage.

Even though I just saw him a couple months ago of course I'm excited and nervous. It's rare for him to come during spring break or just come in general. I think something is up and my mom knows already.

"Dad!" I exclaim as I seem him at the baggage claim, of course I was a little late but he didn't seem to mind.

He lets out a big smile and a chuckle and follows me to my car and to check out my driving skills. It does make me a little sad he wanted to teach me how to drive but couldn't.

"How are you sugar plum?" My dad questions, wanting to know how life is and what's going on in my life besides the boyfriend.

"I'm good, I'm hyped for you to meet Alejandro in person and to of course spend time with you doing father and daughter things." I answer as we get into my car.

———

My dad and I sat at a booth waiting for Alejandro to arrive, my dad seeming a little overly excited. My dad doesn't look his best probably due to being jet lagged.

I watch the waitress lead Alejandro over to us, Alejandro should be the worried one not my dad. It's like my dad is worried about not impressing my boyfriend or some.

"Took you long enough." I tease as Alejandro sits down next to me, after shaking my fathers hand.

"I couldn't get into this place I went around the block like three times." Alejandro chuckles already getting off to a nice start, at least my dad likes honesty.

A waiter comes over to us and we order or drinks and food. All while my dad probably evaluates which question to ask Alejandro first like he is interviewing him to take the job of dating me.

"So what do you do? Like sports or club wise?" My dad asks starting off nice and slow. Not yet intimidating Alejandro with the questions like 'what are your intentions with my daughter?'

"I play soccer, Monae better represent next school year." Alejandro jokes with a chuckle, randomly poking me.

"Ah I played soccer during my high school days, made so many friends. Your old man was cool back in the day." my dad chuckles, causing me to shake my head.

We converse until we finally get our food, which should be good because we are at a pretty nice restaurant. I've only been here once before, and it was good but super slow. My mom almost pulled a Karen.

"So what is it like in France?" Alejandro asks trying to make more conversation, as he was the first to finish his food.

"It's nice, I mean the weather is eh and it's just like any other please you'd live. It feels different when you live there versus visiting it." My dad explains with a shrug.

———

My dad told me to come back to his hotel with him so we could talk about something important. Probably to talk about the plans for me staying there in the summer.

The motel room looked like any other, motels used to make me a little uncomfortable. I really used to be out here expecting vegas top tier rooms.

I sit down on one of those random chairs that are in hotel rooms just taking up space. My dad looks like he has something important to tell me, is he getting married?

"So I've been talking to your mom for the past of weeks, yes surprising. But it's about something important and might be a little scary." My dad starts, making me a little bit worried. What could possibly be scary?

"Okay go on and get to the point. one if my cats died? Wait, no. That is not scary, but you get where I'm going." I state as my dad hesitates, probably thinking about the correct words to use.

There are many things that are possible, but I don't want to think about that. That is the last thing I want. Maybe he's just on the run from the French police, that's scary.

"I want you to come to France with me after my week is over, I know you have school but I'll enroll you in France." My dad continues but still has yet to tell me why.

"What? Why? I barely just got to this school and now I'm switching again?" I question, getting a little annoyed. I'm tired of the back and forth, if I knew I might have to go with my dad I would've last year.

"Monae, the doctors say I only have a couple months left." Dad says, finally dropping the bomb of the one thing I did not want to hear.

"What?!" I ask in shock, trying to hold back tears. You never want to know that you're dad is going to drop dead at any moment. I guess it makes sense to spend all the time I can with him.

I hug him tight, his hugs are always the best. Why did this have to happen now? When my life was finally coming together. And now I have to decide whether to keep my feelings about long distance relationships or change it.
