Kelly’s POV
I couldn’t ignore him. The fact that he’s here without me telling him about my plans means he knew something’s going on and he didn’t tell me about it. I feel like he doesn’t want me to see my father and it confuses me. Why would he do this? Yes! I hated my father but he knew that he’s still my father. No matter how I hate him, I still care because he’s my flesh and blood.
“What are you doing here, Klay?” I asked cautiously.
He stared into my eyes intently, “I’m here to accompany you.”
“To where?”
“To your father.”
I looked away for a second and shook my head before looking at him again, “How did you know that I want to see my father? You said he’s on vacation.”
“I lied, Kelly.”
I was shocked by his own confession. He lied? He lied to me about my father. Why?
“I don’t understand why you had to lie, Klay. But I’m telling you now, I will never forgive you if something happens to my father.”
“He doesn’t want me to tell you, Kelly. I don’t have a choice.”
“Tell me about what?”
He took a deep sigh. Shook his head and gently held my hand. My heart raced when he pulled me closer to him and gently planted a soft kiss on my forehead.
“I’m sorry for hiding the truth. I won’t lie to you again.”
My forehead creased. “Of all people, Klay...”
“I’m sorry...”
I sighed. “Let’s go. I need to check on my father.”
He nodded and intertwined our fingers. He took my passport and ticket from me while I was just walking beside him, still so worried about my father.
I don’t know what’s going on but this just means my father is really in danger.
I was nervous and uncomfortable the whole time. Klay was constantly squeezing my hand while we’re inside the plane. I’m with him, but my mind was wandering and unfocused. I can’t be late. I still haven’t asked for forgiveness. My father is the only parent left to me. I don’t wanna lose him this way.
“Babe...” Klay whispered in my ear.
“I’m worried, Klay.”
He nodded and caressed my cheek. He stared intently into my eyes, comforting me.
