Romans & histoires Single Dad

“Your dad should be here to pick you up soon,” Amelia said as she gently rubbed Lily’s head. Lily is her student who has made her concerned for a while now. Lily’s art was different, there were always shadows and people with no faces. One drawing was really messed up, it was a small girl hiding under a table with red scribbles everywhere in the background. She had tried to reach out to her dad several times, she left messages and even sent a note home with Lily. Most parents wanted to talk about their kids but Lily’s dad seemed not to want to talk to her at all.

"What time is it?" "5 a.m." "Fuck. I have to get home. I'm going to owe Dolores so much money for staying the night. And I'll have to call in to Ridge since I have no one to watch Liam today." Bennett sounds as defeated as I am tired. It can't be an easy job being thrown into full-time dad lifestyle. If possible my heart simultaneously breaks and yet fills with love and respect for the man lying next to me. There's so much talk about single moms out there but what about the single dads? The one beside me is doing a spectacular job on his own with a little bit of help from the team he's built up around him.

Inilipat ni Elllie ang kanyang timbang sa kaliwa ng bench. Isang pulgada na lang. Oo, ngayon ay mahuhuli na niya ang lahat ng mga salita na sinasabi ng dalawang ina. “I swear to you, Susan, kung kaya ko, ako na mismo ang kukuha ng trabaho bilang yaya na iyon. Si Tyler Hernandez ang pinakaHOT na single dad sa buong paaralan. At saka, mayaman siya." Ang babaeng may pixie-cut at dreamy na mga mata ay parang hihimatayin pa ata.

his dad said, Henry shifted uncomfortably in his seat. He had indeed been neglecting his responsibilities as the CEO of the family business in order to focus on his side project - researching the possibility of extraterrestrial life. It was a passion that had consumed him, but he hadn't realized the impact it was having on his work, His dad continued, "Son, I understand your fascination with the subject, but you can't keep abandoning your job like this. You have a responsibility to the company, to your employees, and to yourself as the future leader of the family" his dad explained,

I nodded, "and his grandfather?" "Well, my father's name was Sylvester and he was a hard man, who was very soft towards his grandchildren. My father passed on a couple of years before my mother, but when he was alive, he was the one who did things with Daddy that his father couldn't do with him because of his busy schedule. My father taught him everything he knows. From how to ride a unicycle to how to drive an 18 wheeler truck." "Daddy knows how to drive a truck?"

I asked in the middle of silence between us. "From my father..." he answered shortly. So...it came from his father. I just know that his father is a doctor. Actually, his father is a popular doctor here in the province. Ronald grew up without a mother. I don't know what happened to his mother, though. His father must be a really good man. He was able to grow his son alone.

as the media dubs him, smile only at me. But the media is a bunch of assholes, because they forget that he’s been such a devout single parent ever since he was young. My dad hasn’t aged much. At thirty-seven going on thirtyeight, he still has a strong build that fills out his suit. He’s tall and broad and has an eight-pack. No kidding. He’s the healthiest man I know. But he also has a few age lines that make him the wisest ever—aside from a certain someone.

“And I’m ready for these babies. I’m gonna pay more attention to them than Dad paid attention to me.” I frown. “You know Dad is… Dad. I don’t think he didn’t want to pay attention to you. I think he didn’t know how to be a dad to a child with special needs. He was always working. If you think about it, he wasn’t around me either, and I’m way older than you.” Patrick nods. “He’s getting better now. Maybe when he retires he’ll actually spend time with the grandkids.” “I hope so too,” I say.

“Look I … please just hear me out. I’m obviously not going to miss the weird dates but they weren’t all bad. I really befriended one guy, he’s a single dad and his wife left him for a woman, he has an 14 year old daughter. When I told him I was raised by a single father he just lit up and we really bonded talking about all that. I have helped him get closer to his daughter, and I can’t believe I’ve actually been charging him as a ‘date’ to give him advice like that. But he’s never touched me, he’s a completely normal guy--” “No, you’re not seeing any other men anymore, for any reason,” he said, looking me in the eye.

"She's not in the picture, hasn't seen him since he was a baby. I'm a single dad in the truest sense of the word." He helps me up into the Jeep, then I turn in my seat. "Well, I for one, am glad you could get away tonight." It's got to be hard for him to find a sitter – or a sitter who doesn't hit on him, because my God, this man is hot.
