Now a couple

After a while of welcoming guest Troy's car arrived in the driveway. I see him get off the driver side and gave his keys to the valet attendant.

He was wearing a white pair of suite and pants with a black bowtie to much. He was looking dashing.

My heart beats faster as he was approaching. I was like a teenage girl looking at a boy she liked, it's embarrassing. I feel a blush forming in my cheeks.

"Mr. Williams, Queenie." Troy nodded to greet father. He took my hand and kissed the back. I blushed even more.

Father was looking at Troy's gesture. "Ahem." Father cleared his throat. "Thank you for coming."

"It's a pleasure Mr. Williams." Troy said politely. "May I take this time to tell you that your daughter and I are going out." He pulled me to him and put his arms around my waist.

I was shocked and looking at my father with wide eyes, he was shocked as well.

"I think this is not the right time and place Troy." I whispered to him softly.

"This is the right time and place." Troy answered.

"In front of God and you Mr. Williams, I promise to love Queenie with all of my heart. I will cherish her forever sir. I am going to marry her." Troy said solemnly.

Father's face was looking back and forth from me and Troy.

"Daddy I love Troy. I accepted his proposal. He is the one that I want to be with the rest of my life." I said with conviction. Troy held me closer to him.

My father sighed. "I understand. The two of you are in the right age to make your own decisions." Father patted Troy's shoulder. "Young man come to my house after all things has settled down. I want you to officially ask my daughter's hand in the right way. Call me old fashioned but Queenie is my precious baby girl. Let's talk by that time."

"Yes sir." Troy bowed. "Thank you."

"Okay, okay. You can enter now and take your seat." Father said.

"See you later." Troy gave me a peck in my lips.

"See you." I answered and smiled at him.

After Troy entered father looked at me. "You really do love him." It was not a question but stating a fact.

"Huh?" I looked at father.

"You are blushing so red. And your smile is so sweet." Father said.

"Really?" I held my cheeks embarrassed that my feelings for Troy are seeping out.

"I'm happy for you. But I still need to inspect him. As your father I should be strict to the one that wants my baby girl's hand." Father said with determination.

I giggled. "Daddy, don't worry." I hooked my arm in his. "You are still my number one. Troy will be 2nd to you." I smiled at him.

"Ahem. Give me many grandkids okay." Father said shyly.

I blushed. "Daddy, your teasing me."

"Ahahaha I am old. I am thinking this would be my last term in the office of the mayor. I just want to rest and play with my grandkids." Father laughed out loud.

"I love you daddy." I hugged him.

"I love you too baby girl." Father answered.
