Bailey's pov

" Now you two, break it up. We will have none of that in your room." Astern voice reaches my ears and I instantly grow red, peeling awayfrom Kaleb as though he had lit me on fire.

Leaning against my doorframe and pushing the already ajar door wideopen, stood my very stern dad. He crossed his arms, his eyes levelingwith Kaleb who cleared his throat.

"I may have given you the okay to date my daughter young man, butthat doesn't mean I will have you two stay inside her room withoutsome rules." He stepped into the room and stared at the two of ussternly. * Well her bathroom."

Flustered beyond measure I rushed out of the bathroom, Kalebfollowing close behind me. Dad pointed at the bed. " You two, sit." Hecommanded.

I plopped my ass on the bed robotically and so does Kaleb. I wouldhave laughed at his expression if I too wasn't in the same predicament.Dad stood silently, a couple steps in front of us. His arms are crossedand he has that serious expression he does when he is about to go intodad mode. I awkwardly fiddle with my fingers, dropping my gaze to mylap.

"We need to set some ground rules. I will not have my teenagedaughter getting pregnant.”

I snapped my eyes up and stared at him in surprise, my lips parted as asilent startled sound tumble out.

* Mr-

Kaleb started but dad shook his head, lifting a hand to tell him to hushup. " We have spoken downstairs but my daughter have not heard whatI need to say." He returns his eyes on me, a strict expression on hisface.

"Your mother and I should have been the first ones to have known youwere dating Bailey."

I opened my mouth to respond but he cut in before I could. * Though Iam disappointed that you didn't seek us out when you started datingKaleb, I am at least happy that Kaleb asked me permission to date youhimself. Not many guys would do which is why I agreed.”

He sent me a pointed look and swept his gaze to Kaleb who I noticedgulped from the corner of my eye. I bit the inside of my cheek.

" Oh come on Blake,” Mom's sweet soft voice traveled inside the room.Instinctively I turn my head to see her but she's not here yet.

The sound of faint tapping of her shoes near and she appeared in afew seconds after speaking. Her smile was warm as she enter the roomwith a smooth grace. She stood beside dad who was already visiblylosing some of that stern aura around him.

" We were once teenagers ourselves.” Mom wrapped her arm arounddad's midsection and beamed up at him. His eyes lose all traces ofhardness and is instantly replaced with a warm glimmer.

" Let the kids enjoy themselves as we once did." Her teeth appearedwhen her grin widened and her eyes glint with something secretive onlydad would be able to decipher.

Dad sighed, murmuring something under his breath before turning tous. That stern expression returned but it was not as hard as it wasbefore mom joined. " We still need to set some ground rules. And mylovely wife over her-" He squeezed mom to him lovingly. * Will give youtwo the talk about the birds and the bees."

Embarrassed, my face flushed uncontrollably. Mom's eyes widen,clearly not expecting dad to throw her under the bus. She snapped herattention to him, stuttering.

He looked down at her with an amused gleam in his eyes. " I think it isonly fair....right baby?"

Something passed between the two, something secretive before momgave in with a light sigh and nod. " Fine." She looked at both Kaleb andme, her grin spreading but doesn't reach her eyes.

"Now you two I am sure you know what sex-

For the next twenty minutes mom rattled on about intercourse andways to protect and avoid pregnancies. Dad on the other hand madesure to give us a lecture about the rules of the house.

When we were finally let free from I'd say cage, we could only sigh inrelief.

"I'm sorry about that." I apologized to Kaleb as I buckled myself in forsafety. I winced, remembering what we had just gone through. Myparents were embarrassing.

Kaleb responded with a light chuckle and looked over at mom and dadwho stood on the porch, waiting for us to drive away. Dad's arms arecrossed and mom is beaming at the two of us.

"It's nothing." Kaleb turned to me, his eyes curving at the corners as hesmiled. " I'd expect your dad to strangle me but I think coming out alivecalls for a celebration.” he joked, starting the vehicle.

Mom waved at us while dad gave a stiff nod to Kaleb, as if silentlytelling him that if I do not return in one piece he'd be buried in thebackyard.

I bit my lip and waved them goodbye as Kaleb pulled out of thedriveway.

I buried my face in my hands, groaning as my house become a smalldot the further we are. " Oh gosh today was embarrassing.” my voice ismuffled because of my hands covering my mouth.

"I like your dad. I've always liked your parents.” He laughed lightly. " Ican't wait to say those exact same words to our kids in the future.”

His words made me peel my hands off my face and I peeked at himthrough the cracks in the strands of my hair.

He must have sensed my gaze because he turned to me and smiled.His eyes are filled with tenderness and a hint of playfulness that mademe speechless.

"I know you're going to say I am thinking way into the future but," hisvoice soften, growing faint. * when you know, you just know."

And as though he had not said something so serious, he cracked asmirk. " At least let me dream about it flower."
