Niles sighed, wiping his face with his palm. Maybe he had been too spiteful with the boy so he alleviated his suppressing aura and said in a smooth, calm tone, “Free your mind with me, I’m not going to bite,”
Perhaps, that comment gave Pedro the courage to say, “I think you’re being too unfair to me,”
Niles’ brows raised interestedly. This is going to be a serious discussion.
“I am?” he pointed to his chest, intrigued by that pliant.
“Yes, you are, Sir Niles. You know I love your daughter Isabella and yet, you intentionally make things hard for me. Why Sir Niles? I want to know the reason. Did I unintentionally upset you or something or you just don’t like me? Don’t I meet the requirements you need for your daughter’s boyfriend? Tell me where I’m lacking and I’ll do my best to live up to your expectations” he pleaded sincerely.
“You’re a good boy, Pedro. You don’t need to live up to my expectations,” Niles told him.
“Then why? Why are you so bitter towards me?” Pedro wanted the truth from him.
“Because I’m trying to protect Isabella!” Niles added with a gentler voice, “I’m trying to protect the both of you,”
“From what?! You can’t tell me you’re protecting us by being mean without telling me the actual -“
“I’m trying to prevent you both from making the same mistakes I did!” Niles yelled at him and that shut Pedro up.
The mistake he made? Pedro thought hard. Oh, Isabella. He remembered.?Niles was scared Isabella would get pregnant?
“Isabella would not get pregnant,” Pedro told him.
Niles chuckled wryly, “How would you know?”
“We do it with protection -“
“Which is not hundred percent guaranteed. No matter how many shots she takes or the condoms you roll on, it is still not a hundred percent safe – there is still that probability in there. And if there’s anything I’ve learned about life, it’s the fact that it loves to fuck humans when it’s least expected,” Niles’ chest heaved with effort, his words sinking into Pedro’s head.
“Also,” Niles revealed, “I know about Isabella’s insatiable appetite,”
Oh well, Pedro scratched the back of his head awkwardly. This is surely the best topic to discuss with the father of his girlfriend.
The third point of view:
“I know Isabella, Pedro, we are not so different from each other,” Niles went ahead, “The both of us thrive on excitement and we would plunge head deep into whatever gives us the thrill, only thinking about the consequences at the last minute,”
Pedro took a deep breath, this was not how he imagined their conversation would go. He had summoned the courage to speak with Niles about why he disapproved of him, who knew they would sink deeper into this sensitive discussion.
“So why are you telling me this? You want me to break up with your daughter?” Pedro shook his head stubbornly, “With all due respect, sir, I love your daughter too much to lose her,” He confessed the truth.
Niles smiled at him, “I know, why do you think I haven’t fulfilled my promise of burying you alive after you took her?”
Pedro gulped. He knew all along. Well, it was not like he made an effort to hide it.
“Pedro…” Niles drew closer to him, the boy took a step back. Niles’ noticed that yet he didn’t say anything and went on,?”I want you to change her priority. I can’t stop you both from having sex – heck! Isabella wouldn’t even listen to me,”
Niles took a deep breath, “Sex shouldn’t be the foundation and the primacy of your relationship, trust me, if that’s the case, I promise you, it’s going to break up with time.
“The both of you should work on yourselves, find out what interests the both of you, that attraction that created the spark in the first place. You hear me? “
Although Pedro nodded, God knew everything Niles said had gone through his ear and left through the other side. All he understood from the pep talk was they should limit the number of sex they had and strived on having a healthy relationship. Yep, that was pretty much all he picked – not that he was going to admit that to Niles. He still valued his life, please.
“I believe that’s all for tonight. Are we good now?” Niles asked him.
“Yes, we’re good. Totally good. You don’t hate me, that’s all I needed to know,” Pedro said quickly, kicking against this horrible idea in his head.
“Alright. Now, go to your bed. Straight to your room,” Niles pointed out he didn’t want him sneaking around his daughter tonight.
“Yes, sir!” Pedro saluted and turned to leave, taking just a few steps when he stopped in his tracks. He groaned inwardly, he was going to regret this.
Niles frowned when he noticed Pedro still standing there. His gaze narrowed, could it be he was not going to do what he asked of him.
“What is it?” he asked in a not so pleased tone.
“You’re right, sir,” Pedro concurred, “You and Isabella are a lot similar in a lot of ways which is why I think you’re indirectly pushing your responsibility to me,”
“What?” Niles’ face changed.
Yep, it’s official, he’s toasted.
However, Pedro looked past Niles’ dark demeanor and went on, “I might be Isabella’s boyfriend but you’re her father who’s raised her for over eighteen years and no offense, the both of you share the same hedonistic lifestyle….” Pedro intentionally trailed off to study Niles who had an impassive face. For sure, he was going to be buried alive after saying this.
“This is my first time dating but you have lots of experiences and I somehow think Isabella is highly influenced by your past. In conclusion, I’ll play my part but I think you’re the key to curbing her appetite. Both of you need a one on one conversation like father and daughter. Open up to one other, tell her your fears instead of fighting and throwing remarks at one another. Isabella is the most reasonable girl I know out there, she’d understand, “
Pedro could hear his heart pounding loud in his ears by the time he was done. It didn’t help matters that Niles was eerily silent and pinned him with a gaze that made him want to pee in his pants.
“You have quite the guts, ” Niles finally said after the stretched silence.
Pedro gulped. He knew it, he was dead. He had offended the great Niles.
“But I like it,” his mouth was pulled to the side in a smirk.
“Huh?” Pedro blinked twice, trying to conjure back the bloodlust he thought he had seen surrounding Niles earlier. What just happened?
“Congratulations son,” Niles patted him on the back, “You just earned the right to call me by my first name. Now, go get a goodnight’s sleep. I’ll talk to my daughter later and hopefully, it works,” He squeezed the boy’s shoulder tenderly and left.
For a full five minutes, Pedro stood at the spot, mystified. What had happened? How could Niles’ mood go from downright scary to tender loving? The sudden fluctuations confused him greatly.
And what does Niles mean by calling him by his name, Pedro would rather die than do that. Maybe he was thinking too hard and should get some sleep. Yeah, It would be much better to think in the morning and as well, be able to observe the situation.
