My real father

Hotel

We got to the hotel and my mom was blowing up my phone.
i ignored all my calls and texts and me and max started to ask my newly found father questions.
"how did you and my mom meet?" I looked at my dad who was sitting on the bed a crossed from the one I was sitting on.
"well me and your mom didn't technically know each other."
"what?" I was confused at this point
"well me and your mother met at a bar."
"I'V HERD ENOUGH!" My dad laughs but then I think
"wait.... Weren't you too young to drink?"
he pauses for a moment
"let's not get into detail."
max was just sitting and listening
"when and how did you hear about rider?" Max finally speaks up.
"I have known about rider for 3 years. And I knew because your grandmother had contacted me. She always wanted you to know your true father too. She was very calm in telling me,"
I look at him and start thinking about my grandmother. She never did like it when me and who I am now calling Robert did "father daughter" type stuff.

"why didn't you come tell me sooner?"
"I needed to wait. Your grandmother helped me get here and she was going to have me sing on stage and it was going to be cool and your mother wouldn't even have time to freak. But your mom came in the house at the wrong time and saw me and started to freak out."
i looked at him for a second.
he got up and grabbed a monster off the counter to take a sip
"I like your necklace."
i look down at the necklace max had gotten me
"thanks max got it for me for my birthday."
i look at max who was sitting next to me he looked like he was still processing this whole thing.
"aw that's sweet." My dad sets down his monster and now I just standing there.
I sit there for a second and it is quiet.
I get up from the bed and go over and hug my dad. He is shocked at first but then hugs me back
"thank you."
"no prob bob"
i laugh at his comment and go sit back down next to max and lay my head on his shoulder and I slowly find myself drifting to sleep
