As I read it, I was stunned because I never thought Arinn was Jack's daughter. When I thought of this, it was as if lightning had just fallen on me. If Arinn is Jack's daughter, then that means that Aimee is also Jack's daughter. I thought this and just stood there wondering how old Jack was before remembering that Ruldi ages slower.
As I was thinking all this, I heard an energetic voice from afar. I knew that person was there before she called my name, "Hay, Steven." I could sense her presence, and when I turned back, I found a beautiful girl power-walking towards me. "Hay Aimee," I said as she reached for me.
She was dressed in a stunning white dress decorated with roses. It looked great with her hair and was very flattering to her.
When she reached me, we were looking at each other. I was wearing a black shirt with black pants.
She greeted me with an awkward, "So how are you doing?" question. I continued to respond to her because I had no idea how to properly engage a person of the opposite gender in conversation.
"I am doing great " I said, as I looked at her. "She looks stunningly beautiful in that dress," I thought to myself. It started getting awkward as neither of us had a topic to start a conversation on, so we just stood there looking at each other, but then Jack came and rescued us both.
"Hay kiddo," he said, "so you already met my daughter," he said in a joking manner. "Hey Jack, I never knew Aimee and Arinn were the daughters you talked about." I replied.
But then Aimee chimed in before Jack could replay, "Wait, hold on, you two already knew each other." She had the look that a cat would give her owner if they decided to bring a dog into the house. "Ya Jack, invite me!" I replied, and Jack also said, "This is the kid I told you I was going to teach how to cook."
But just then, a small, cute voice reached our ears. "BIG BWTHER!" Arinn came over running and jumped onto me. I caught her and 'from when did I get this close to this girl that she would jump on me like that with full confidence that I would catch her?'
I looked at the two beside me and noticed a betrayed look on both of their faces. I coughed lightly and talked to Arinn, "Happy birthday kiddo." I said and then took out a toy from my dimensional storage. It was a cat plush, which was nearly the same size as Arinn. "Thank you, big brother," she said with a cute voice.
"So you know my daughter's?" "I see," Jack said, with a smile that was not a smile. "Y-ya, I guess I do," I replied with a shaken voice. "He caught Arinn when she fell down the stairs," Aimee replied, after seeing that Jack was giving off a vibe that said "how dare you."
When Jack heard this, he sighed and said, "Thank you for saving my daughter." I could feel the sentimentality behind it and said, "No need for thanks." "You're teaching me how to cook for free anyway."
After that, Jack was called over by someone else, and he walked away, leaving me and Aimee alone. We walked to the side where it was quieter to talk by the fence of the roof and stood there with some kind of juice in hand.
While we talked, a girl came to say hi to Aimee, and while they were talking, I was left out of the conversation, as they were talking about mackup and stuff like that, so I moved to the table where snakes were placed to get a refill on my juice, but then. While filling my plastic cup, I saw Jack approching me with a smile. "So, kid, have you complimented her yet?" "he asked me as soon as he reached me.
"Are you telling me to hit on your daughter?" I asked back. "Oh come on, I know a pair when I see one," "he replied. I just stood there stunned as I asked, "What kind of father are you, dude?" Jack smiled like a wolf as he said, "One that understands his daughter," After hearing this, I just had one question. "Are you really her father?" "Normally you would tell me to stay away from her," I asked.
After hearing this, he gave me another smile and said, "You should compliment her dress, you know," he said. I replied to him, "I don't think I am the right person to do that. I think a person who can care for her should be the one to do that. " My reply stunned Jack for a moment, but I didn't stop there. "She deserves someone special, not someone like me, who's a mess and can't even sleep properly."
Jack just stood there as he just stared at my face, but soon came out of his trance and said, "Why not give it a try, kid?" "You are a good person, and you might not be the one for her, but you can't find that out until you try it, right?" He said and I just stood there as I looked at her.
She was still talking to her friend. She looked at me and waved. I waved back with a smile, "You might be right, but are you sure you are good with me hitting on your daughter?" I asked, "Ya, I'm good with it if you don't play with her feelings and treat her well." he said with a serious tone. So I relied on a serious tone too, "I'll do my absolute best." After he heard this, he left me alone with a smile, and I stood there alone. While I was waiting, I looked around and tried my best to sense the mana in the air to sense my surroundings and train my perception. As I thought this, I found an anomaly in my surroundings. There was a place where there was no presence, but there was a person standing there. He was a black guy with long hair. Our eyes met, and we both noticed each other but didn't do anything other than look at each other. The party was loud, and there was music playing in the background. All the kids were gone to their beds. It was clear that now it was time for the adults to party
Soon, Aimee came back to where I was and tried to say something to me. "it---s---ge---lou---" Aimee siad. I couldn't understand a thing, so I pointed to the door of the entrance to the roof and she nodded.
Soon we reached out of the reach of everyone, and there were fewer noises here
"So what were you trying to say?" I asked, "I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I just left you there. " She said, with the face of a crying cat. "You make really cute faces some of the time," I said, and instantly regretted it. "W-wait, it was supposed to be an inner thought," I said hurriedly, "so you think I'm cute?" "N-no, I didn't mean that," I said, and then she asked in a tone I couldn't describe, "So you think that I'm not cute?" So, the situation is getting dangerous. So I thought, "So, I think that you are beautiful, and I should have said this before, but you look really gorgeous in the dress." Before I could say anything else, I felt something soft press against my lips.
Aimee was kissing me. It felt good. really good. She gave me my first kiss. just like that.
