My dad usually showed up around Christmas every year, and stayed for a couple of weeks at a local campsite.
He stayed in his truck cab, which was his home away from home, even after my repeated attempts to persuade him otherwise.
Bouncing on the balls of my feet, I turned around the room looking for Sebastian. “How close are you toBodcau Dam?”
“Very. It’s just around the corner. You passed over the dam on the way in. About five minutes or so,” he said.
“Did you hear that, daddy? I can be there in about five minutes,” I told him.
“How about I just come and pick you up? Who’re you with, anyhow?”He asked.
I smiled.
Poor Loki.
“I’m with my boyfriend at his friend’s house. He lives about five minutes from the dam. And I can...” I was interrupted.
“What’s the address?” he asked in his don’t fuck with me tone.
I turned to Sebastian again, but he’d heard the question already and was holding his hand out for the phone.
“Hold on, daddy. Sebastian’s going to tell you the address,” I said, just before I handed Sebastian the phone.
“Hello? Yes. No. Yes. No. 505 Lakeside Dr. Once you turn on the dam, go about two miles and take your first left. I’m the second to last house on the right.”
He held the phone out to me, and not surprising, he’d already hung up.
Sebastian’s face was filled with amusement as he looked at me, and then turned to stare at Loki. “You ready for this?”
I, too, turned to find Loki’s head resting on the couch, and his eyes closed. His lips were turned up at the corners. “Sure thing. Just what every man wants is to have his girlfriend’s truck driver father beat him up.”
“He won’t beat you up. He’ll give you shit, but he won’t beat you up,” I explained.
My dad was a big man in my opinion, and protective to boot. He wasreallyworried about his baby girl, and hated any man I dated on general principle.
Then my attack happened, and it took everything I had not to run when I was within touching distance ofanyman.
I’d had to convince dad, on numerous occasions, that I would let him know the second I had feelings for a guy so that my dad could have him checked out.
Which I’d neglected to do. For quite a long time, now.
“Whatever you do...tell him we just met. Okay?” I pleaded.
By the look on Loki’s face, I knew he wouldn’t be going along with my little plan; but a girl could hope.

“At least don’t volunteer that we’ve known each other for nearly nine months now...okay?”She pleaded, eyes glancing warily from me to the red semi-truck sans trailer pulling up.
I looked over at her worried green eyes. “I’ll do the best I can, but I’m not promising anything,” I agreed reluctantly.
She nodded once. “Just, humor him. He’s going to be really pissed. And he’s going to try to intimidate you. Don’t let him. And don’t hurt him.”
