I awoke from my sweet sweet dreams when I heard Kal yelling "It's breakfast time wake up!" I rubbed my eyes and got up. I walked downstairs to be greeted by Kiru,Kal, and sweet Nakuma. Kiru looks at me funny and and tells me he needs to talk with me. He pulls me into another room and begins to speak. "Rakhem, he says, do you like Nakuma?" I figured I should tell him because him and his family have taken such good care of me. "Yes I do like Nakuma",I say reluctantly. Kiru smiles at me and says, "*Sigh* If you really do like my daughter Rakhem I give you my blessing to, oh what do Nords call it, ah! date her. I was so shocked about what he said I had to sit down on the couch. When I took in what just happened I smiled and happily said ,"Thank you". I thought about how I was going to ask her out. The Nakuma walked in and said "Rakhem your breakfast is getting cold would you come eat?". "Actually Nakuma I wanted to ask you something". "Yes Rakhem what is it?". I built up the courage to say "Nakuma would you like to...go out with me?". "The surprise on her face scared me but then she ran up to me hugged me tightly and said, "Oh yes I will go out with you Rakhem".
After that we went into the kitchen smiling and ate breakfast. I took her outside when we were done. "Rakhem where are you taking me?", she said happily. "You'll see soon I promise", smiling back at her. When we got to the top of the hill I took out my pack and pulled out a blanket,some food,some drink, and a flute I learned to play when I was little...er. We sat,talked,ate,drank for hours, and I played some songs on my flute. "Oh Rakhem this is perfect", Nakuma said. "I hoped for that", I said back. The sun was starting to set and I looked into her beautiful blue eyes and she looked in mine. We leaned closer to each other and had a very passionate kiss. When we were done kissing about what seemed to me an eternity we walked home. Kiru told me to meet him in the next room. Was I in trouble? If so what did I do? He then asked me what happened and how did it go. "It went extremely well,I started, we shared laughs and stories and ate and drank". Kiru asked, "Did you kiss her?".
Those were the last words I wanted to hear from my girlfriend's father. I admitted "Yes Kiru I kissed her". He was silent for a moment and then did something that surprised me. He smiled. "Well done son I never thought my daughter would fall for anybody". I realized he called me "son" I decided I'd ask about that later. Right now I was glad I wasn't getting kicked out or worse getting beat up. I said "Thank you Kiru---"Well now son don't call me Kiru no more you've been her and you'll be hear long enough just call me dad and Kal mom". I started again, "Thank you dad but can I go get some sleep i'm deathly tired?". "Why sure you can go to bed lad head on up to your and Nakuma's room but don't do nothin' funny in there", he said. I said "I won't dad goodnight". "Night lad". I walked upstairs and sat on my bedroll thinking to myself. I won't say what I'm thinking because it's rather personal. Just then Nakuma walked in and said "Hey Rakhem whats going on?". "Nothing just thinking" I replied. "I'm gonna go to sleep how about you?" she said. "Yeah I guess so". Just as I squeezed into the bedroll(I was getting pretty big) Nakuma says, "Come sleep in my bed with me".
I started thinking about what Kir---Dad had said to me. I decided it would be alright so I climbed into her bed with her. It was a two person sized bed so it fit both of us. We shared the large blanket and she said, "Rakhem do you really like me?". "Of course with all my heart", I said. "Do you really like me?", I asked her back. "Yes a lot". we ended the conversation like that. I turned to my side and I feel Nakuma's arms wrap around me. She whispers in my ear "I'm scared of the dark and you make me feel safe is it okay if I do this?", she asked. "Yeah it's okay but you'll have to explain it to your father". And we fell asleep together.
