When Billie finished her dance class she called me and told me to come to her hotel as soon as possible to watch "The office". I made her brownies like earlier this week and packed them. Now I'm changing my clothes.

I called an uber and walked to grandma's room. I knocked on the door and heard "Come in" -Hey, Rosie. -Grandma looked at me with a smile.- Are you going somewhere? -Yeah, Billie finished her dance class and she called me to come to her hotel. I'll stay there tonight. I've made brownies and left you some on the kitchen counter. -Okay, honey. Be safe. -Bye! I left her room and took all my bags from the living room, then I left the house. Uber driver drove to the hotel in silence and after 20 minutes I was standing near the entrance. I got inside and walked to the elevator, pressed the button and stood there waiting because elevator was on the 13 th floor. Suddenly I heard heavy feet steps behind me, I turned around and looked at the man. He was about 45 years old with moustache, in a suit with a bag. He looked so familiar but I can't recognize him. When he looked at me he was in shock, I'm confused. When elevator was already on the 1st floor we walked in and I pressed button "19" and the man pressed the button "14". As soon as the doors closed man looked at me. -Rosie? -Um, excuse me. Do I know you? -Oh my god, I can't believe this. It's me, William. I'm your dad. -What? No, you must be joking. -I swear, It's me. What are you doing here? -No,What are you doing here? I thought you live in Las Vegas. -I'm on a business trip. When we passed 12th floor he told me: -Look, let's have a dinner and talk. I'm here for 5 more days, call me and let me know.-He gave me his visit card and walked out of the elevator cabin on 14th floor. I'm fucking shocked, we haven't talked for 5 years and haven't seen each other for 9 years. I have to tell someone about this, my mom is not an option because she told m-. Doors of elevator opened on the 19th floor and I walked out of cabin to the door with number "864". When I knocked on the door Billie immediately opened it with a huge smile on her face but when she saw my sad face and her smile dropped. -What happened baby? What's wrong? I walked in and threw all of my stuff on an armchair and sat on bed. Billie closed the door and sat near me. -Rosie, look at me.-She cupped my cheeks and looked in my eyes. -I just saw my dad.-I whispered with tears in my eyes. -Oh no.-She hugged me tightly.-Did he tell you something? I just nodded wiping my cheeks from tears. Next 15 minutes I was telling her everything that happened and she looked at me with a raised eyebrow. -Will you tell your mom or grandma about it? -No no no, my mom told me hundreds of times that if I ever talk to my dad, fix my relationship with him she'll never forgive me. Even if our relationship with my mom is not best, she has raised me alone with no help, I can't do this to her. Telling my grandma isn't an option either. But I've always wanted a dad, I know that maybe mother is more important but father is something different. Mother can't replace a dad and dad can't replace a mom, you know. But I'm sure that he has a family now and if he loved me he wouldn't leave me. But this's so complicated and I don't know what to do. -Would you like to have a dinner with him? -Yeah, of course. I mean at least I'll know something about him except his name and last name. And we can find out what he thinks about my mom being negative about him. -Then you should go, if something will go wrong you can always leave and never talk to him again. -I'm not sure but maybe, can you, like come with me? -Sure! I would love to. -Okay, then you have to tell me when you're free so I'll call him and let him know, he is here for 5 more days. -Okay, I'll ask my manager and tell you. But for now, let's have fun. -Okay. I took brownies from my bag and gave them to Billie. -Oh my god! Yes yes yes.-She started dancing with smile on her face. She's so adorable. I quickly changed to my pyjamas and we laid down on Billie's bed and started watching The Office. After 6 episodes Billie became bored and we decided to talk. -So, have you already decided what will you do with your songs?-She asked me. -Stop being annoying, I told you that I don't wanna do anything with them. -But why not? They're so good, you have to record them at least. -I don't know Billie, I'm not sure. -Please please please, I promise, you won't regret it. -Ugh, okay fine. But I'm not releasing them. -We will see.-She said with a smirk.-Let me ask my manager about my free time for dinner with your dad. She took her phone and texted him, he immediately replied. -We can do it tomorrow. -Yeah, cool. Then I'll call my dad. I took a visit card from my pocket for his number and called him putting on speakerphone. -Hello? -Um, hey. It's Rosie.-I can't even call him dad. -Oh, hi Rosie. I didn't expect you to call so soon. -Mhm, yeah. I called about your dinner offer. We can do it tomorrow. -Of course! Whenever you want. -And can I bring my friend too? -Yeah, sure! Why not? I'll pick you guys up from this hotel where we met today at 6 . -Yeah, okay. -Bye sweetheart. -Bye.
-Your dad seems so nice! -Yeah, but I can't even call him "dad". I literally know nothing about him. -Don't worry, I'm sure everything will be fine.-Billie hugged me tightly. -Thank you Billie. -For what? -Literally for everything. We know each other not that long but you already did so much for me. -Not at all, baby. I'm happy if you're happy. We fell asleep with turned on TV.
