JAEJOONG

I took her home and waited while she got dressed. Her father was giving me the third degree. I was cool with that, parents were a snap.

His daughter thinks I don’t know that she’s plotting in her head. She thinks I don’t know she thinks she can outwit me. I’ll play cat and mouse with her until I pounce on her , then she’ll know that I’m not ing around.

“So Jae, your dad is head of Busan General Hospital, right?”

“Yes sir, he is.”

“He’s a good man. You plan on following in his footsteps?”

“That’s the plan, sir.”

“Your sister and my daughter seem to be getting pretty close.”

“That's right, sir.” Here we go, keep fishing pops.

“So...what’s going on with you and my daughter?”

“We’re dating.” I never lied to the parents what’s the point? He’d figure that out sooner or later, but what could he have against it? I’m an Honor student, come from a wealthy family, I’m presentable enough in public, and I plan to treat his daughter like a princess. No worries.

She came down the stairs in time to hear that of course. She was about to open to say something smart but I beat her to it.

“I don’t think so, baby. Go change.”

Her eyes widened and she looked from me to her father who seemed to be in shock. I knew all about their relationship. From what I can tell Captain was trying way too hard to make up for his absence in his daughter's life by letting her get away with anything. We’ll see how he lets this play out.

“You’re kidding, right?"

“Nope.” I lounged back against the wall to let her know we weren’t going anywhere until she obeyed me. Her father was just looking from one of us to the other, not uttering a word.

Good job Captain, let’s keep it that way.

She’s wearing a short skirt and by short I mean.....short, and her blouse left her cleavage exposed. To me it was one or the other, either you showed your legs and covered up the girls or vice versa. Showing both just said desperate for attention. My woman doesn’t do desperate.

She folded her arms and looked like she was preparing to dig her feet in.

I cocked my brow at her and didn’t budge, when it looked like she wasn’t about to move I decided to up the game.

“Excuse me Captain, this might get ugly.” I could’ve sworn I saw a smile trying to break out across the Captain’s face.

I headed up the stairs to her room, if the Captain wondered how I knew which one it was, that was too bad.

I was in her closet when I heard her little feet running up the stairs.

“Get the out of my room, . What do you think you’re doing?”

I paid her no attention as I searched for something more suitable for her to wear.

I pulled out a pair of skinny jeans and a V necked sweater and threw them on the bed.

“Do you need help getting changed?”

She flew at me, arms flailing and mouth swearing and threatening until I caught her easily and clasped her to me with her hands held behind her back.

“Do us both a favor and behave, I don’t want to discipline you in front of your father.”

“You wouldn’t dare.”

“Try me.” I looked deeply into her eyes so she knew I wasn’t playing around with her.

She stomped her feet like a little girl and made me laugh which just infuriated her more, and when I finally pulled her top over her head she was fuming.

“Dad.....”She yelled out loud to her father.

“I’m not getting involved you two handle it on your own.”

There was a definite smile in his voice that time.

Needless to say I won that battle even though I had to dress her myself, which was no hardship since it allowed me to cop a feel. 

“Let’s go.”

I pulled her down the stairs fuming. She didn’t even say bye to her dad.

“Bye Captain.”

“Later, you kids have a nice day at school.”

I had the feeling if we didn’t get out of there soon he would burst into laughter, probably grateful someone was taking his mule headed daughter in hand.

I put her in the car and strapped her in. She folded her arms and turned her head away to show me her indifference.

I bit her jaw just because I could.

“Stop pouting little lamb.”

“ off, head.”

Alrighty then.

I laughed all the way to the other side of her car.
