Dating My Daughter - Part 4
Hello ISS readers. I am back with a new series. My quick intro. My name is Aafi. This is another fantasy fictional story. I’m a divorced 41-year-old guy who has a beautiful and young daughter, Amy. She just turned 19 and I haven’t seen Amy in almost 10 years. I grabbed my coat and we left to go to the park. We reached the park before Elena. Amy was like the beauty of the park. There’s a resting place in the park. It is the shape of a circle, with benches around. There’s a small circular garden patch where a lot of flowers are blooming. Me: What a lovely day! Amy: Look at these flowers, daddy, so lovely. She bent down and was caressing those flowers. Me: You’re such a romantic girl. Amy: Yup! I can’t help it! Me: That’s good, that’s good! Don’t be ashamed of it. I like romantic girls. Amy: Really? Me: Yes! I mean. It’s nice to talk to a girl that likes things like flowers, romantic movies, and whatnot. Amy: Aw, thanks, daddy! Me: Anyway. I’m going to sit down on that bench and watch you play with the flowers. Amy: Okay dad, I’ll be with you in a minute. I settled down on the bench to relax. Amy joined me after a few minutes. Me: You said Elena will be here any minute, right? Amy: Yeah she should be here by now, I don’t know what happened to her. She checked her phone to see if there’s anything from Elena. Amy: Oh shit! Me: Amy! Language! Amy: Sorry dad! Me: What’s going on? Amy: Elena said she won’t be able to meet us today. Me: Oh, did she say why? Amy: She met a boy at the mall and he invited her to the movies. Me: Oh, I see. Amy: I’m going to text her and tell her that we are going to be here for a few hours. Me: It seems like your friend is really outgoing. Amy: Yeah, she’s always making new friends, nothing like me though. Me: Why do you say that? Amy: I don’t know. I’m really shy. It’s hard for me to make new friends. People always think I’m boring. Me: That’s nonsense. You’re nice and funny. Amy: Do you think that? Me: Of course, honey. Besides, now you have a new friend, right? Amy: Oh yes! You’re right! I’ve got a new friend now! So what would my new friend like to do? Me: So is there anyone special in your life? I mean. Since you’re a young and beautiful girl. I’m sure that boys would. You know. Amy: Daddy. Are you trying to ask me if I have a boyfriend? Me: Well. Yes. Amy: Yes, I do have a boyfriend. His name is Farhan. Me: Oh, and is he here with you? I mean, did he come with you to visit the country? Amy: Oh no, he stayed. He hasn’t texted or called me since I got here. Me: Really? Amy: Yes, I’m worried actually. Maybe something bad happened. Me: I’m sure it’s nothing. Amy: Let’s hope so. Me: Did you talk to your mom yesterday? Amy: Oh yeah! I told her about you, the nice apartment you have and how much of a gentleman you were to me. She sounded kinda surprised, not the way she imagined you to be I guess. Me: Well, that’s good, right? Amy: Yeah, she stopped complaining about me spending time with you so, I’d say it’s pretty good. Me: Good, I haven’t spoken to your mom since she left, so it’s nice to hear that. Amy: Dad, I’m starving. Me: Oh, I’m sorry honey. We should have eaten something before coming here. What do you want to eat? Amy: How about a burger? Me: All right! Burger it is. Wait here for a moment. Amy: Okay. There’s a guy who is making burgers near the park. I bought 2 burgers and headed back to Amy. Amy: Man! I haven’t eaten one of these since I was little. Me: Really? Amy: Yes! Mom doesn’t want me to eat street food. She and Brad say they are bad for your health and that they are the worst. Me: Oh. It must be a pretty boring place to live in! Amy: It is! We don’t have parks as beautiful as this one where I live either. Me: It looks exactly like the one we used to go to when you were little, remember? I remember you loved going to the park in the summer! Amy: Yeah! You and mom did everything together. Me: Yeah, I remember. Amy: I hope that one day we could go out together as a family. Me: Me too honey. I’d love to spend some time as a family as we used to. Amy: Thanks, dad. I’m glad to know that you still feel something for mom. Me: Honey, your mom has a special place in my heart, as well as you. Amy: Wow! Your such a romantic guy! Totally unexpected! Me: Well, I think I’ve caught the romantic bug from you! Amy: I’m glad then! Me: Okay, let’s eat before it gets cold. Amy: Yes, you’re right! We finished the burger quickly as we were so hungry. Me: Honey? Amy: Yes? Me: Would you mind if I take a picture of you? The only ones I have of you are when you were little so. Amy: Of course I don’t mind dad! I have to take a picture of you as well. To show Elena what you look like! Me: Great! It’s a deal then! Come on! Let’s go over there. Amy: Okay. There’s a fountain in the park. We decided to take pics with the fountain in the background. I took my phone to click her picture. Me: Okay, ready? Amy: Yup. Me: Smile…and…fantastic. She’s looking great in the pic. Amy: Now let me take one of you. Me: All right. I was about to hand my phone to her. Somebody bothered us. Guy: Excuse me, sir. Me: Yes? Guy: Sorry to bother you, sir. My name is Rick. I’m a professional photographer. May I ask, is she your girlfriend? Me: No, she’s my daughter. Why? Guy: Oh I see. In that case, may I ask if I can take a few pictures of her? Me: No. Guy: Sorry for being so rude sir. I’m participating in a beauty contest and I just saw your daughter. Let me tell you, she’s the most beautiful girl I’ve ever seen. I hope I’m not offending you, sir, I mean it with all the respect. Me: Well, you kinda are. Now, I’m going to ask you to leave. Guy: Please! Please, sir! If you let me take a picture of your daughter, and I win, I’ll split the prize with you. What do you say? The guy was young and he had a professional camera on him.
