Chapter 12

Ivy’s POV

chapter 12

Dreading the phone call with my dad today, I don’t know why my mum would want to involve my dad in this. We both know that he will make a big deal about it, because there is just one person my dad approves of who is obviously back in nigeria and he is someone I don’t like to talk about.

My dad never wanted me to even leave the country but I was able to convince him after promising him not to date any foreigner, not that he is being racist but he believes that being in a relationship with someone that has a different culture from you WILL make life difficult for you and to some extent it becomes a disaster.

“hey! Why are you back already? I thought he might take you back to his place? I bet his sexy ass couldn’t wait to do the dirty with you?” I didn’t even reply cause I don’t have enough energy for Cass’s fangirling right now, not that I ever will. “or was it a quicky? Uh I am absolutely disappointed in Scott, you are practically a virgin so he should have made it special. Why aren’t you responding?”

“ my dad wants to speak to me, my mum found out about Scott” her face paled because she knows how my dad can be, she’s even more scared of my dad than I am

“why would she even do that?” I rolled my eyes because she said it like my dad is a mafia boss, he’s just strict that’s all

“stop being dramatic and help me speak to my dad” I know that she’ll decline but I can’t help but tease her.

“you can’t be serious right now, your mum is sweet and I love her but your dad is a no go area for me and you know that” my dad can be scary but not In the manner she portrays him

“why are you overreacting like this, its not as if my dad have actually done anything to you” right?

“are you kidding me? Don’t you remember what happened last year? When I mistakenly appeared in your face time with your dad and Xavier happen to pass by shirtless?”

oh my gosh, I’ve completely forgotten about that.it was so hilarious... for me at least, I was having a nice chat with my parents and Xavier who was Cassie’s boyfriend at the time spent the night and I forgot to tell them not to come out since I am speaking to my parents, especially Xavier and he came out shirtless, he went as far advice flexing his muscles in front of my parents Andy let’s just say it didn’t end well for either Cass or Xavier. Cass sat through a whole lecture of how a lady should behave and my dad said it with his stink eye according to Cass and I was laughing because it was so much to see the great Cassie squirm under my dad’s stare, I know I should intervened earlier than I did but I couldn’t help laughing for a few minutes before intervening while Xavier on the other was horrified by my dad’s words and left almost immediately and mumbling something like ‘crazy old man’ it was funny because my dad looks really scary when he is angry.

“ to be fair,no parent would be comfortable seeing their daughter in the presence of a shirtless guy”. Like seriously

“whatever, I won’t make the video with you so…good luck with that while I go to my room and do something that doesn’t involve me squirming”

she left taking an apple from the kitchen table on her way to the room. I don’t know how long the talk with my dad will last but I kind of know how the conversation will go so, I am right for dreading it.

I know my dad cant ask me to leave NYU because of this but he could make me celebrate chrismas in Nigeria this year, not that hate spending Christmas with my family in fact love spending Christmas with them but I promised Cass to spend it with her, besides I spent Christmas with my family last year. It was fun but my dad can’t take a hint and he’ll call ‘the one who must not be mentioned’ again.

It’s just two months to chrismas and I plan to go with Cass to their beach house in Carolina it’s not that huge but very comfortable it has three bedrooms, three bathrooms a kitchen, big lounge area, a front yard and a back yard and the second floor balcony looks over the beach. It is so beautiful, I have never been there but I saw the picture of the place while Cassie and I were deciding where to go for Christmas. Hmmm speaking of Christmas.

Speaking of Christmas I wonder what Scott would be doing for chrismas, probably doing shows or going on tours and probably following some chick around or having a sex marathon with severAL chick in a row or even at once…aaarrrggghh why am I thinking about him right now when he was the one that got me into this mess after all. Hmmm take a deep breath Ivy, forget about him, focus on convincing your dad that you are his sweet little munchkin and everything will be alright. Now its time to wait for my dad’s call or was I supposed to call him? I forgot what my mum said, shit this Scott issue is making me to lose my mind and way of thinking I think I might be losing some brain cells. Let me just get my self in….grrrrrrrrrrrnnnng went the freaking ringtone of my laptop which tells me that I have little time to compose myself.

Clicking the answer button I put the brightest smile I can muster on my face I answered,

“hey dad, good evening dad” I corrected myself before he’d lecture me on that too

“princess”
