Destined by fate

Off to work

         Thankfully, I got off from my comfy bed, my eyes trailing to the Channing Tatum picture Maya had forcefully hung on my wall. It clearly read 'Price charming coming your way'. It was more of a taunt to me since I am as single as a carrot. Besides, prince charming only existed in fairy tales. If only I could be Rapunzel. My hand picked up the Rapunzel picture i keep under my pillow. For some reason, I hadn't dropped that down yet at least I woke up early today. that is a sign for a great day ahead.

At least according to my dad

Besides I was bound to wake up early, that's what sleeping early does to you.

Early to bed, early to rise makes a man healthy and wise.

So, early for a teenager,eh I know but that's my life, it seems like my mum was right about my life but I am not giving her the satisfaction of being right. 

       Since I woke up early, I decided to give myself the luxury of watching one of my favorite episodes of the game shakers.

         I sauntered downstairs to make myself a bowl of cereals grinning to myself, I felt my brows raise an inch as I met my dad sitting on a couch, he had his glasses on and heads buried in a business magazine and I tried to slide away without him noticing besides I don't want  another lecture

"Morning" my dad Greg greeted me beckoning for me to take a seat by him

   "Morning" I replied surprise evidently written on my face almost translating to nervousness

   "Why the look?" my dad questioned

  " Nothing, just surprised" I said, I had not seen him for the past two weeks so I wasn't actually expecting him. Don't get me wrong, I love him but well things are just the way they are

"I can tell" my dad said nodding and I couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed.

"Well I am here" my dad said on a much lighter tone

"Since when?" I asked truly astonished

"Yesterday night" he replied

"OK, I said nodding as if slowly processing it to get a grasp of what he was saying

"Why are you here" I asked out of pure curiosity and he gave me a slight frown before he replied me

"Well your mum told me about the housewarming and stuff and besides I don't have any major business meeting at hand so I thought why not"Greg explained

"Welcome" I said moving in for a hug which he took smiling. To be frank I really love my dad only that he is always so busy. Then together, we moved to the cabinet where I grabbed a packet of cornflakes while my dad took a cup of hot black coffee much like my style except I usually took it in the evenings usually whenever I wanted to write but lately, I had not taken any

"Where is mum?" I asked

"She left with Jerry, they were assisting our neighbors with shopping" my dad explained

"Okay" I muttered taking the last scoop

"I see you're adjusting to your job, I am really proud of you" my dad noted and I couldn't help feeling a little guilty

"Yes, and I have to get to work fast" I explained taking my leave. Guilt was virtually ripping me apart and there went my hopes of watching Game Shakers. I finished my corn flakes and returned the bowl to the kitchen. I hope that wasn't a cringe worthy get away

"Bye" my dad said waving his hands
I guess it wasn't.

"Bye" I replied grabbing my bag and scramming off
