Kimberly decided to pay her dad a visit the next day. She woke up pretty early, leaving a sleeping Ian at home. She knew he could take care of himself when he wakes up, so she only wrote a short note, telling him where she was. She would’ve loved to wait until he wakes up to give him a morning kiss but she couldn’t risk wasting any more minute so as not to miss her dad because she really needed to talk to him, even if it was a five minute conversation.

Okay, that’s a pretty short timing but you can’t blame her though, she desperately needed to see her dad before he leaves for work. She hopes she makes it in time. The thought of calling both her dad and fiancé's place her home brought a smile to her face. She was grateful she could proudly call both places home, she wouldn’t want it any other way.

Two blocks away from her destination, Kimberly spotted her dad's car in the driveway, much to her relief. She parked her car behind her dad's and hurriedly got out of the car. Ringing the doorbell twice, she patiently waited for her dad to open the door which he did within seconds.

“Kim? I wasn’t expecting to see you here!” her dad said in surprise

Kimberly instantly wrapped her arms around her dad, making him even more surprised. She didn’t realize how much she had missed her dad until now. She knows it has only been a few days she has been away but God, she has missed his fatherly touch and was craving it badly. Her dad returned the hug, making her snuggle closer into the embrace

“Are you okay honey?” he asked in a calm voice but Kimberly could still trace a hint of worry.

“I just missed you” she murmured, still not letting go of him

“Okay? But we've only been apart for a few days” he chuckled

“I know dad. I just can’t help it”

“Why don’t we go have some pancakes for breakfast before it gets cold”

Kimberly’s face lit up at the mention of food. She couldn’t remember the last time she tasted her dad’s cooking. He is a great cook and she is proud to have learnt from the best.

As they walked into the kitchen, Kimberly felt a wave of nostalgia. She couldn’t believe that just some years back she was her daddy’s little girl who he doted on. They did so many fun things together, like going to the park, getting ice cream, he even had tea parties with her. The thought of those events brought a smile to her face.

Her dad is her idol. She wouldn’t deny that she sometimes hated the bitter truth of her being independent, doing things, making decisions, choices and mistakes without her dad’s assistance, like it used to be when she was little.

“Here’s yours” her dad said, bringing her out of her thoughts

“Thanks dad” she said, not wasting any minute in digging into her banana pancakes

“Aren’t you gonna be late for work?” she suddenly asked, taking a sip from her coffee.

It just dawned on her that he didn’t look bettered by the time nor was he fully dressed and it was already past 7:00am

“I don’t have any lectures today, so I’m taking the day off”

“I see… then I guess my timing was perfect”

She smiled, happy that she had her dad to herself for the whole day because she doesn’t plan on leaving anytime soon.copy right hot novel pub
