When her phone lit up. He knew fully well who it was and from the sound of her dad's voice. He was worried. So he almost told her to call him. He deserved to know that she was alright by her voice and not by text. But all he could think about was her embrace and kiss that she she had just given him. It was tender, almost wanting and filled with need. But then her father's voice hit his mind again and he swallowed a little lump in his throat." Call him..... He deserves to hear your voice after so long." He also felt like she owed him an explanation about Johnny." You know your dad. He would want you to tell him what happened and we both know how he felt about Jake and his family. Do you think he's going to bitch you out for unleashing me on the man that was beating his daughter." He was telling her the truth, her dad would want words, not a damn text. But he also didn't yell at her, his voice was full of wisdom and love." Please.... your father needs to know that you are ok, a text can't stay that. It hides the emotion. The tone."  He paused for a moment and then sighed." I can give you privacy."
