Apology For A Lifetime

...Austin POV...

What does a man that is not a boy that is maybe too much of a man do? He waits. He waits for her dad to either come to kill him or give his blessing. There is no way to tell how this one is going to go. And we have not even gotten to the part where we will tell him that Summer is pregnant. 

So while her dad is off to his study to make a quick phone call, now he says it is for business; well, I think he is about to get that gun of his. But Summer seems to feel different about this all. She comes to sit next to me; I swear if her dad sees her this close, he might just have my head.

"Baby, I think dad likes you."

"Do you think so, princess?"

"Yes, because he has not chased you off the property with his gun yet."

"God, thanks, princess, you really know how to make a man feel good."
