Last chapter of Asher in the hospital guys. The next part will be a month or so ahead.

Xavier's POV

Asher sits on her bed, jeans and a T-shirt on as we all wait for the doctors thoughts. Today is the day that she's leaving the hospital. It's also the third day that we've been a thing. I remember when I had gone to the gang house, no longer drunk and happy as ever. The guys could sense something was off from me before I even opened my mouth. I haven't told them about Asher and I, knowing that they'll all day I told you so. She's hinted around to her parents though, her mother seeming to know somethings going on. We meet eyes and the last three weeks go through my head. We haven't done anything like we did three days ago, just a few make outs but mostly because I stop us before anything gets to heavy. It's nice filling the void that the other girls couldn't give me. That when I look into her eyes she doesn't only see me as a fuck, but as a friend as well. She's making me way to poetic and softhearted though.
She smiles at me and I smile back, her father noticing but not saying anything. He's more calm than the last time I saw him. That being when he looked like Satan himself searching for Asher, and ready to kill Daniel. He leans against the wall and clears his throat." In a non threatening or psycho way. I'd like to ask what the hell is going on between you two?"
I stare into his eyes, as he looks into mine, not seeming to care about Asher beginning to speak." What do you mean?"
He squints before standing up and gesturing for me to as well." I'd like to speak with you." Asher tenses and he raises a hand." I'm not committing a murder today. Don't get your bloomers in a twist." He turns to me and says," I only want to speak with you. I might feel like killing you but not as bad as that one little boy that caused all this."
I nod and follow him, waving at Asher before exiting the room. I follow him through the halls, looking at the guys as we pass the cafeteria and go out into the parking lot." We're going to my car." He says still looking forward and I straighten my back out." Xavier." He adds and I stop in my tracks. He smiles and turns," Great how you noticed my car before I did." He says and sits on the hood of the black Alpha Romeo." I have many questions, all revolving around my daughter but some just around you. But first let me see if I have all this correct. Your full name is Xavier Alessandro Scathe. Born on 1998, your seventeen about to turn eighteen pretty soon. January the twelfth to be exact. Your mother was Adrienne Jade and your father is Kade Vicente Scathe the third. Most importantly your apart of the gang The Fallen, you're actually the leader aren't you son? I also have every name of anybody your gang has ever spoken to memorized. My question is to why your playing the role of a school boy right now, and what you want with my daughter."
"How do you know all this?"
"I have my connections. Who also tell me there has been some research into my family. I thought it was only fair that I was able to do the same."
"But we didn't get anything-"
"About us? Besides the mundane typical stuff? Yeah, I know. Because in everyone else's eyes were a normal family. I'm just a dad who failed to raise his daughter, who works in construction and has a lot of tattoos. Asher is just a girl who has good grades and plans on going to the great college of Yale. Her mother being a real-estate agent who cares deeply for our daughter. We're normal to everyone else. But you and your team. You've found out a lot that you haven't even realized yet. Tell Bones that he's close by the way, I'd give him the range of being warm around the answer. Blistering hot maybe...."
"And who are you exactly?"
"Pierce Arcen Knight. Maybe you've heard of me? The beast? Daddy? Knight? Sometimes King. I have a lot of names, it's according who's shouting it."
"Your the street fighter. The one who won one hundred fights in a roll and is still adding? The man who killed one of his opponents when he talked about-"
"His little girl in the crowd. Asher."
"So is that why she knows how to fight? By you?" I ask, seeing the man before me totally different. Instead of just the boring dad covered in tattoos I see a dangerous man who many fear in the streets.
"Yes, I've been teaching her since her freshman year. And trust me kid, she knows a lot more than whatever she done at the school. Everything I know, she knows. That's why this wreck has ruined her more than meets the eye. She used to cry at night. When she was unconscious for awhile or when she thought I was asleep at night. It's painful to watch your lose something that means a lot to them. Which is what I want to talk to you about. You and Asher? What's going on? Are you a thing? Is she just another fuck? What?"
"We're a thing. Three days ago."
"You've been dating for three days. Practically married. Now. What do you plan on doing? What about your Xavier Samuels cover up?"
"I plan on telling her. Just when I feel the moments right I guess. And just so you know, she isn't just a fuck to me. I've told many of fathers that I wasn't looking for a relationship with their daughters but this one time I am. Asher's... Asher's different."
"I want to know personally how far you all have gone. I don't want my daughter losing her virginity in a relationship that I'm questioning."
"Your daughter is still a virgin." I tell him and he squints at me.
"There's more to this isn't there? You've done something."
"We've kissed already yes. Made out some." I look up to him and see his eyes looking through me, testing me." And we've done more intimate things that I don't think you want to here." He still stares at me and I add,"It's like sex in a way. Just with fingers."
"You've fingered my daughter?" I nod and he stands up, walking up to me making us eye to eye." And your admitting it to me? Right in front of my face? After hearing who I am?" I nod and he stares into my eyes, letting me see why they call him dead eyes. I keep staring, standing my ground to him and ready for anything that may come as a reaction." Who's idea was it?"
"Both of ours in a way, though it just happened. We had stopped when things got to heavy but we later ended up in a much more intimate situation."
"Would you do it again?"
"We're having the same conversation I have when talking to a pimp."
"Just answer the question."
"Yes. I would."
"If she didn't want to?"
"No brainier. Just keep teasing until she does." I smirk slightly before adding," Then we wouldn't. It may be mine but she still chooses what she wants."
"Yours? Did you you say my daughters privates were yours?"
"Yes."
"Don't say that shit around me if you don't want punched boy. Though I have to give it to you that your handing this pretty well. Survey. You and Asher are home alone. I'm not going to be home, her mother isn't either, and you two are all alone. What do you do?"
"Truthfully? Finish the third movie of high school musical, we never got to finish it."
"You wouldn't take the advantage of the situation?"
"Wildcats and chill? No. Maybe. All depends. If your aiming at me having sex with her then no." He raises an eyebrow and I explain." If we were to have sex it wouldn't be anything like that. I'd want it to be memorable for her. Something she'd look back on and not regret. Something filled things she likes and would enjoy. Not a couch, a movie, and an hour to ourselves."
"What would be your perfect little date then? The back of your car?"
"Great idea. Never thought of that one. The back of a truck, blankets and pillows, condoms, and the stars above us. So prefect it sounds like a porn video."
He shakes his head and backs up." Of course she has to pick someone sarcastic as hell. That sounds like something she'd say. I don't know if she's rubbed off on you, or you've rubbed off on her." I open my mouth to reply and he lifts an hand." I don't want to hear a perverted joke. Especially about my own daughters sex life." He runs a hand through his hair and sits back down onto his car." I could kill you in this parking lot. Have the camera tapes erased, witnesses paid off, your body disposed of. But I won't. I believe my daughter has actually found a decent man. You've passed the test Xavier."
"A plus or?... I'm having to keep my grades up since going to school."
He shakes his head and chuckles." Get the fuck out of my face. And don't hurt my daughter or I'll have four heads, two hanging on my wall."
"And you say I'm the perverted one."
"You are. I'm an adult, I'm just making a bad dad joke. Oh and also. Get my daughter pregnant and your dead. Along with the rule that if your at my house her bedroom door has to be opened at all times."
"I'm allowed to your house?"
"Yes. I've learned to not make a teens life Vietnam. I'm a cool dad. But not so cool that you can finger my daughter. She's still my little girl."
"I respect that sir."
"Now get out of my face. I have to piss."
"In the middle of the parking lot?"
"Yep." He says and turns away from me." The world's fucked me over enough to the point that I think I can piss back on it."
"Okay." I say and go back to the hospital, feeling the eyes of my boys from the cafeteria as I do so.
The doors open and I look up to see them in the lobby, looking at me with a raised eyebrow." Here to see princess today?"
"I've been here since last night with princess." I tell them and go to the elevator and push the up button." She's leaving today."
"Oh man I'm sorry. It's your last day seeing her."
I turn to them and lift an eyebrow," No it isn't. I'm going to her house tonight."
"And what? Have some freaky time together?"
I chuckle as the elevator doors open and I step in," Why would I do that?"
"Come one man. You stayed with her two days in a row now and you haven't done anything with the chick? Tonight will be your caving."
"I've done stuff with her. Three days ago to be exact."
They all raise their eyebrows and someone asks," So why are you still with her, man? Usually after the fun you drop the play date."
The elevator doors begin to close and I smile." Because we're dating."
