Chapter 160  Smoothing Things Out

"Then what was it?" Ali asked gruffly. Honestly Mal didn\'t believe her father would care about his answer either way, but he knew that he was still obligated to try. But... there was really only so much that he could say. "No reason that I could give would ever be a good one, I already know that. Especially when the truth is that I was just careless with her feelings."

Malachi wasn\'t sure if Bianca\'s dad was going to try to kill him for this but he didn\'t care. Reaching out, he took her hand in his own and held it tenderly just as he always did. "But every day since we\'ve made things official, I\'ve done my best to make her and the other women I\'m seeing the happiest girls on the planet.  They are all integral pieces of my life that I can\'t go without, and Bianca is apart of that.

 Not because of the things she\'s done for me, but because of the happiness she brings me.  And I will give every ounce of my flesh and blood to make sure that she never regrets her decision to be with me. "

His words certainly worked on Bianca, and the small smile on her face was utterly bewitching. Playfully, she gave him a small nudge on the ribs as she rested her head on his shoulder. "That\'s sweet, but you\'re not exactly flesh and blood anymore, babe."

"Oh yea, I forgot.."

"Who is your damn babe?!" Ali roared. "And what\'s this I\'m hearing about him not having no blood!?"

The young couple smiled wryly and merely chose not to comment on Ali\'s question, making him stare at Mal much more suspiciously than before. "Is you a damn zombie, boy?"

"Not quite."

"Vampire!?"

"Getting colder."

"Daddy, he\'s not a monster!" Bianca yelled. "Then what the fuck do you mean he don\'t got no blood, Bianca?! We got blood! Why the hell don\'t he have blood!?"

Ali nearly shit his oversized pants as a scene that he never thought possible played in front of his eyes. Malachi\'s skin literally flaked off his body like old paint and fell onto the floor of the shop. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

When it was all off, Ali was staring at a man comprised solely of nebulas, stars, and darkness. It was without a doubt the strangest thing he had ever seen in all his years of life. Hesitantly, he raised one of his overgrown sausage fingers and poked Malachi directly in the forehead. His finger easily passed through the surface, and was engulfed in a somewhat chilly embrace. "What.. the hell..." "Kinda weird, huh?" "How the fuck are you speaking with no mouth?!" Ali asked in horror. Malachi thought about it for a moment before realizing he didn\'t actually know either. "I guess it\'s one of the perks that comes when your mom is a really strong goddess?" he guessed with a shrug. Ali seemed to have some real difficulty believing that as he stared at Mal suspiciously. Eventually he just took a few steps back and elected not to ask any more questions. He was already beginning to get a headache from this entire surprise visit, and by now he just wanted it to be over. "Saint... go back to normal so I can look you in the eye man to man." Malachi obliged and regrew the skin on his face, causing Ali to shiver as he felt like he\'d already seen too much. "Right then... How can you be sure that you won\'t break my baby\'s heart?" "Because I would rather die. She means everything to me." "Everything? Kinda hard to believe when you got three other girlfriends. Makes you seem like a hoe who just says anything in the moment." Ali\'s reaction was fair and any other father would have likely had the same concerns if they were in his shoes. After all, who wants their daughter to be the fourth girl in a harem?

Malachi completely understood his line of thinking, and as such he pretended he was not insulted by Ali\'s constant insistence that he was a hoe. "...I can promise you I\'m not sleazy like that, and everything I\'ve ever said about my girls is genuine. Bianca, Sei, Anna, and Luna all mean the world to me, and like I said, I love every one of them equally."

"..."

Ali still seemed like he wasn\'t the biggest fan of Malachi, but he respected his honesty and straightforwardness at least. And even if he didn\'t like it, he had to admit that his daughter seemed to be happier with him than he had ever seen her. It was a pleasant but slightly depressing feeling. Ali stuck out his hand for Malachi to shake, and he stared at it only briefly before he shook it without a second thought. "If you go back on your word, I\'ll find some way to kill you." Ali said as he tightened his grasp. "I\'ll hold you to that." Malachi nodded. -

A few hours later, Malachi and Bianca were back in her apartment, getting the last of her stuff that she needed to move into the base. Furniture and things of that nature would be moved to a storage room she had across town, so all that she was really here to pickup were her various gaming consoles and clothing items. Malachi finally finished taping the last box together and wiped his brow of imaginary sweat. "I\'m done in here, B! You good to go?"

Creak!

Malachi glanced over his shoulder at Bianca\'s bedroom door and his eyes nearly left his face again. His girlfriend was standing completely naked, with her toned yet soft body on full display and all of her assets hanging out. "I think.. I\'m ready." She said shyly. She wasn\'t quite sure what the last piece of the puzzle was, all she knew was that watching her boyfriend try to win her father\'s approval had done something to her. Truth be told, he didn\'t need to do that. Even though they had never had sex before, Malachi already had a part of Bianca inside of her, and the love that the two of them shared was unbreakable. Ali could have complained ill he was blue in the face, and it still wouldn\'t have changed anything. And yet, Malachi suffered through all of her father\'s rude behavior because he knew just how much it would mean to her to have him on their side. It was just about the kindest thing that anyone had ever done for her, and it helped her to make up her mind. She wanted to cross the threshold and take that final step in their relationship, legitimizing everything that they had even further. "A-And don\'t ask me if I\'m sure again or if I\'m still scared, because I\'ve made up my mind to go through with this and there is nothing that-"

Bianca\'s words trailed off as she watched Malachi stand up and begin to undress. He came out of his sweater and jeans easily and kicked off his shoes before approaching Bianca in just his boxers. She let out a small yelp as he easily scooped her into his arms and carried her into the bedroom before closing the door behind them. ---------------------------

Hello people!

Sorry for the short chapter today, I just had a little bit of news. Not necessarily good news though...

In an effort to catch up where I left off on my third novel and build a descent stockpile of chapters, I am going to be going on hiatus with this one for around seven days. I know, I know, I\'m sorry!

But I\'m only one man and theres only so many hours in a day so this is really kind o my only option at this point. However, the good news is that if you\'re a fan of my other novel I\'ll still be writing that one so you don\'t have to go without both. Like I said, I should be back in like a weeks time with more uploads for this story and we\'ll probably start getting into Arias and the new day a little more. In the meantime, please send me golden tickets, powerstones, gifts, anything at all it really does help!!

Again, I\'m sorry for the sudden deferral, I\'ll make it up to you all when I return!
