her SATs and passed with flying colors and
some other aptitude tests they were giving kids these days that they didn't
have when I was in school.
Apparently she'd done well enough to be accepted to an
Ivy League school, but daddy dearest had nixed that. Well I'll get all her
affairs with the school straightened out. I had the necessary papers now, she
was old enough to speak for herself, and we didn't need his signature for
anything. Asshole.
I still didn't like the idea of him being her guardian
of note so I’m gonna have to deal with that first.
"Would you like to get married?" She dropped
the fork and looked at me with wide-open eyes.
What the fuck? I hadn't meant to say that, what the
hell had just happened? We barely knew each other, she hadn't even met my
parents, and she was so fucking young. I was going to wait, what the hell
happened to waiting until she got settled in?
Yeah, all those things were true but when she jumped
from her seat into my lap, her arms going around my neck to hold me in a
chokehold, I knew it was the right move.
If I could just get my heart to calm down we'd be good
to go.
Fuck Thorpe, you really are nuts, you've lost your
fucking mind over this girl. How do you go from being totally against giving up
your freedom to getting married to a girl whom you'd only just met?
I haven't even really kissed her yet, not the way I
wanted to anyway. I had no idea what her likes and dislikes were. What were her
favorite things to do? In fact I knew nothing about her except that the way she
made me feel, I'm sure I'd never feel that good again with anyone else. Never!
There was a lot to be done I had three months before
her eighteenth birthday. I'd already committed myself to waiting until then
before taking her to my bed...well, before making love to her there since she
was already sleeping in my bed.
"You won't change your mind will you?"
"Well you haven't answered the question yet
so..."
"Yes, yes, yes, yes." She squealed,
peppering my face with kisses after each enthusiastic yes and I was grinning
like an ass.
"So when... How? Tomorrow?"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, not so fast little one, we
have to plan it, sometime after your birthday."
"Why do we have to wait?" I hated to see her
lose that exuberance but I had to do this right for her sake.
I kissed her nose before looking into her magnificent
eyes.
"Because I have a mother who would skin me alive
if I ran off and got married without telling her. She's going to want to plan
an extravagant event whether or not it's just us, or she invites half the
state."
She grew rather quiet and sullen and I was beginning
to realize that I hated to see her look anything but happy. Lifting her head
up, I caressed her cheek lovingly.
"What is it, what's wrong?"
"What if she doesn't like me?" She looked
close to tears, I guess it's only natural for every new daughter in law to
worry about whether or not her new mother in law would approve, but somehow I
think there was more going on here than that.
She looked fucking petrified, just as she had that
morning when she asked me if this was home.
I pulled her closer to me, hugging her with all the
love I had in me for her.
"She'll love you baby, I promise. There's nothing
for you to worry about okay, I'll introduce you to them soon and you'll see. I
have a sister your age, her name's Tula and she loves to shop. I can see you
two hitting the shops together, not to mention her obsession with on line
shopping. I'm sure my credit cards are gonna get a work out." I tried to
tease her out of her sulk.
She blushed at that and hid her face in my chest.
"Oh no I spend too much."
"Ashley cut it out, we've already had this
conversation, what's mine is yours, you can never spend too much okay? Look at
it this way, what if I wanted to spend time with you and you had lots of free
time? Would you spend your free time with me, or would you be mad that you had
to?"
"I could never be mad at spending time with
you."
"Well see,
