I groaned , kicking up my feet on the seat while pinching the seat belt .

" I'm just looking out for you Bailey , I want you to enjoy your youth days but I also want you to be safe ? " Inod , " I get that dad .

He spares me a quick glance before stepping on the gas and disappearing from our sight in minutes . I swallowed . " His grandfather used to race before . " Dad suddenly uttered . " Who ? Kaleb ? " Even his name made me have a lump in my throat . Dad nod . " Yeah , " his lips tip into a small smile . " I guess it passed down to him . " We stayed quiet for a couple minutes before I turn to him and ask him . " Hey dad ! " He sent me a glance , his brow it to silently tell me to go on . " You and mom were high school sweethearts right ? " He nods , a small smile on his face . There was gleam in his eyes , as though he was back in high school with mom . " Yes we were . " I chewed on my lips before questioning . " How did you know you had feelings for her ? " Dad spared me a glance , and the smile on his lips grew brighter . He chuckled . " I had been in love with your mom years before leven got the guts to make a move . You can say I knew I had loved her more than a freen my heart refused to stay calm when she was in the room ." He sighed fondly . " It's like she lit up every room she walked in . Her aura was beautiful and there was just something about her that always set her apart from everyone else . My heart would beat for her and I kid you not , I would take a bullet for her . " The way he spoke about mum made me feel emotional " I don't know , its just like my heart knew she was the one .
