Ink me baby

“Ace I hope you don’t mind but my dad really wants to meet you.”

He looks at me with a raised eyebrow.

“Should I be worried?”

“Maybe, maybe not.”

“Do I have to confess my sins?”

I throw a pillow at him, and he giggles.

“He's not catholic and I need you to take this seriously, Ace. It’s a really big deal for me.”

He sighs as he pulls me into his arms.

“I know Cupcake, but... I’m not great with dads. I charm mothers easily but dads, tend to not like me.”

“I can’t think of anyone who wouldn’t like you.”

And I can imagine my mother would love him if she ever got to meet him.

He chuckles.

“I can think of a few, but I’ll take it.”

I pull away from him only to straddle him, and tickle him. He flinches away from me trying to catch my hands.

“Why are you being such a negative Nancy huh?” I ask him as I tickle his armpits, and his laughter warms my heart.

“Ahh! Okay! Stop!”

“Say mercy,” I demand and he shakes his head.
