Something flashed across John's eyes, and his scathing look turned into something a little more sinister. Kenzie was watching him and Hunter, and she noticed the frightening looks that passed between them.
"You know what? I think now would be a great time to–" she started to speak, but was cut off by her father.
"I don't want you to see this guy, McKenzie," he stated flatly, not taking his eyes off the young man.
Kenzie blinked a few times. "What?"
(taps fingers against her computer)
(I have no idea how to respond)
(Lol. I was being impatient.)
(No, I meant, I have no idea how Hunter should respond.)
(Oh. Lol. Well, you did really well!)
(Thank you!)
(XD Hopefully, I'm doing just as good as you are. I'm trying to make this tense, but it's surprisingly hard! I just wanna make Kenzie happy!) :(
“I think you don’t have the right to tell her who she can hang out with and who she can’t,” Hunter replied, gritting his teeth. “John Baker. I’ve heard a lot about you from my father. I wasn’t sure if you really were the Baker he was talking about, but now I know.”

(I want both Hunter and Kenzie to be happy ;^;)
"Hunter!" Kenzie exclaimed, looking to her boyfriend. Then, looking to her father she exclaimed, "Dad!"
John flinched; she'd never called him "Dad" before, it was always "Daddy." She must be really upset if she was calling him "Dad," but he ignored her and continued on.
"Oh? And what is that supposed to mean?" he questioned.
(It took me forever to think of an insult… Which I'm not even using in this post… Sorry…)

Hunter stuffed his hands in his pockets, looking at John straight in the eyes.
“The one I remember clearly is how you judge people without really knowing them,” he said, chin raised up. “As I can see right now, my father wasn’t lying.”
(It’s okay, I understand.)
John scoffed. "I wouldn't trust a word coming from the mouth of that fox-hearted, mange-ridden man," he snapped.
(It’s okay, I understand.)
(:D Thanks. It's really not even that great of an insult. And I basically just took it from a book series, so…)
“As much of a fox my father is, at least he thinks before he acts,” Hunter retorted coldly. He looked at Kenzie, his gaze softening.
“I think I should leave before I say something that hurts you.”
(It’s okay, I understand.)
(:D Thanks. It's really not even that great of an insult. And I basically just took it from a book series, so…)
(It’s okay xD book insults are awesome)
Hunter's remark lit a fire in John's eyes, but he, too, looked at Kenzie and the fire went out. He let out a shaking breath and looked down at his hands.
"I'm so sorry," he whispered to Kenzie, not meeting her gaze. "I think you should go."
Kenzie's eyebrows furrowed, both in annoyance and concern. She looked back and forth between Hunter and John, torn. She lo– really liked Hunter, but she had missed her father so much in the past six years. She didn't know what to do, and it hurt that she could even think about leaving either of them at a time like this.
(It’s okay, I understand.)

(Yeah, they are! XD)
“How can I leave them both at a time like this?” Hunter mused, looking at Kenzie in amusement, his anger long forgotten. At Kenzie’s confused look, he elaborated. “Is what you’re thinking right now, aren’t you?” Chuckling, he shook his head. “Obviously you should stay with your dad. I’ll make sure your car gets to your house properly, eh?”
(How does he keep doing that?!?)
"No," Kenzie shook her head. "No, I'm coming with you."
"Sunshine–" her father started, using his old pet name for her.
Kenzie looked at him, pain fighting with anger and sadness for dominance in her eyes. "I'm sorry," she whispered, "but I– I can't stay here. Not after what I just saw." She quickly embraced him, speaking softly into his ear, "I love you, Daddy, but I have to go."
And with that said, she stepped back towards Hunter, taking his hand to keep hers from shaking.
(It's only been 11 minutes and this was already almost halfway down the page! Geez, other RPs are popular tonight!)

(Keep doing what?)
Hunter bit his lower lip as he have Kenzie’s hand a light squeeze.
“Are you sure, Kenz?” he murmured softly for only Kenzie to hear. “If you think I’ll get hurt, you don’t have to worry about that. He’s your father; you wanted to see him after six years. You can always see me, every day. But it’s not the same for your father.”
(It's only been 11 minutes and this was already almost halfway down the page! Geez, other RPs are popular tonight!)
(They really are!
I really have to sleep but the anticipation for Huntzie is keeping me so darn awake)
(Reading her mind!!!)
Kenzie shook her head, silent, and dropped Hunter's hands after gently squeezing them back. She gave her father one last despairing look before she turned and walked away.

(They really are!

(Ditto. XD)
(Hunter’s observant, so he caught the conflicted look on Kenzie’s face xD)
Hunter stared after Kenzie before locking eyes with John.
“She won’t be angry for long,” he muttered before turning his heel and catching up to Kenzie.
(Well, I should really sleep. Goodnight!)
(Well, I should really sleep. Goodnight!)
(Ditto! 'Night!)
Kenzie walked down the hall, down every flight of stairs she had come up, and back out the front door of the apartment building. She didn't bother looking behind her for Hunter; she knew he was following her without having to see him. When she got to Hunter's car, she stood and waited for him to unlock it, staring off into the distance.
