94–Slap Me On The Other Cheek

Sarah’s pov

Granny was sitting in the living room like she had committed some crime. My father was pacing around just to intimidate me. I knew it because he had been doing it since I was a baby.

My mom was the only one who could let him get under her skin otherwise Marwick and I never let that happen.

“Aunt Electra! I didn’t leave my daughter so she can be coaxed into a relationship with any man other

“Dad…” I tried to speak but he didn’t let me. That day, when I told Justin about my relationship with Keith, I cried because I was ashamed of what I did behind his back.

I was not planning to cry in front of my parents or anyone else just because I fu*kin fell for some other guy of my choice.

“Wh… what did you say?” he mumbled. Granny knew about my pregnancy already and I was planning to tell my dad face to face. Thinking that he would be happiest once he would come to know about it.

“I said … I am pregnant. It’s Keith’s.” Within a matter of seconds, I saw my father transforming into a monster. The side I never witnessed.

Taking long strides, he was about to come closer when Justin’s tall figure came between us.

“Easy, Mr. Garner! Easy!” he held my dad by his shoulders.

“My daughter is pregnant, and you are telling me that…

“She is a grown–up. She must be allowed to not only choose a guy for herself but also to fall pregnant by anyone she wants.”

Justin’s voice might seem soft, but I knew he was fuming. His demeanor was a little bit more nerve- racking than necessary.

“I …” my father took a few steps backwards, “I left my baby with you because I trusted you, Justin. First, you got married to that low life girl, and then…”
