Falling for My Boyfriend's Dad

1. An Unhappy Relationship Ends in a Fight Over Popcorn

My boyfriend pretends he wants my input, but disregards it in the end.

Relationship struggles. Serenity is in an unsatisfying relationship with Stewie, who is self-absorbed, lazy, and lives off his wealthy father, Julian. Their time together is often spent at Stewie's dad's mansion, despite Serenity having a private apartment. Stewie prioritizes video games and his own comfort over Serenity's feelings or needs, leading to frequent arguments.

The final straw. One evening, while watching a movie Stewie chose despite Serenity's preference, he demands she make him popcorn, dismissing her exhaustion from her waitressing job. When she accidentally burns it, Stewie explodes in anger, insulting her competence and job. This escalates into a heated argument where Serenity calls him out on his laziness, leading Stewie to break up with her and tell her to leave.

Seeking escape. Furious and hurt, Serenity storms out, leaving her car behind. Too angry to drive, she walks to a nearby bar, the Hard Swallow, intending to drink away her frustration and process the breakup, hoping this time it will stick.

2. A Drunken Mistake Leads to a Night with the Wrong Man

And with that, the best night of my life begins.

Drowning sorrows. At the Hard Swallow, Serenity drinks more than usual, confiding in the bartender, Jackie, about her frustrating relationship with Stewie. The alcohol, combined with her emotional turmoil, leaves her feeling disoriented but also unexpectedly aroused. She decides to return to Stewie's house, hoping for make-up sex, despite their recent fight.

Mistaken identity. Arriving back at the dark mansion, Serenity lets herself in with her key. Feeling playful and horny, she creeps upstairs in the dark, intending to slip into Stewie's room. Due to the darkness and her tipsiness, she mistakes Julian's room for Stewie's, which are mirror images across the hall from each other.

An unforgettable encounter. Believing she is with Stewie, Serenity strips and climbs into bed with the man she finds there. To her surprise, he is much more muscular and aggressive than Stewie, and their encounter is intensely passionate and physically overwhelming in the best way. She experiences pleasure she never has before, screaming his name (unbeknownst to her, Julian's) during climax.

3. The Shocking Morning After Revelation

"Oh my god," she whispers. "It was you ..."

Waking up confused. Serenity wakes up in the morning feeling sore and disoriented, wearing a large t-shirt that isn't hers. She goes downstairs, still believing she spent the night with Stewie, and finds Julian in the kitchen making breakfast. She expresses confusion about the room and furniture feeling different, attributing it to being drunk.

Julian's gentle reveal. Julian, who is fully aware of what happened and has been attracted to Serenity for a while, subtly probes her memory. He asks if she's sore, mentioning they "went pretty deep" and that he "came in you multiple times." Serenity is initially confused, thinking he's referring to her fight with Stewie or somehow knows about her sex life with his son.

The truth dawns. Julian calmly explains that she came into his room, not Stewie's, due to the darkness and her disorientation from drinking. He points out that their rooms are across the hall and look similar. The realization hits Serenity with full force, leaving her shocked and mortified that she accidentally slept with her boyfriend's father.

4. The Boyfriend's Dad Seizes His Chance

"I’ve been attracted to you for a very long time."

Acknowledging the connection. Despite Serenity's shock and embarrassment, Julian is calm and direct. He admits he enjoyed their night immensely and believes she did too, noting the intensity of her reactions. He doesn't apologize for his part, seeing it as a fortunate turn of events given his long-standing attraction to her.

Making his intentions clear. Julian reveals that he has been attracted to Serenity since Stewie first introduced them, but kept his feelings hidden out of respect for his son's relationship. Now that Serenity and Stewie are broken up, Julian sees an opportunity. He tells Serenity he wants to date her seriously, not just for a casual hookup.

Addressing the obstacles. Julian anticipates Serenity's concerns about the age gap and the awkwardness of dating her ex-boyfriend's father. He dismisses these as minor issues, stating that age is just a number and that Stewie is out of the picture. He emphasizes their strong connection, both physical and mental, and expresses confidence that they can navigate any social fallout.

5. A Forbidden Romance Begins Against the Odds

"Okay, Mr. Holt. You’ve got me convinced. I’d like to date you, too."

Tentative agreement. Despite her initial shock and reservations about the unconventional nature of the relationship, Serenity is undeniably drawn to Julian. She acknowledges the incredible sex they had and Julian's genuine interest in her as a person, contrasting it with Stewie's self-centeredness. After some hesitation, she agrees to go on a date with Julian.

First date. Their first official date is a movie followed by ice cream. Julian is chivalrous and attentive, paying for everything and showing genuine interest in her life and work. They discover shared interests and enjoy each other's company, confirming their compatibility extends beyond the bedroom. Julian also reveals that Stewie has unexpectedly won a major gaming tournament and is going on tour, conveniently removing him from the picture for a while.

Deepening connection. The date solidifies Serenity's feelings for Julian. She realizes she is much happier with him than she ever was with Stewie. Julian reiterates his desire for a real relationship, expressing admiration for her work ethic and personality. Serenity, feeling cherished and desired, agrees to pursue the relationship, ready to see where it leads despite the potential complications.

6. Taking the Relationship Public and Facing Scrutiny

"I want to be seen with you, and I want my employees to know that you’re my woman."

Positive reception. To Serenity's relief, Julian's employees are welcoming and friendly. They treat her with respect, and Julian's pride in her is evident. The experience boosts Serenity's confidence and reinforces her belief that their relationship is worth pursuing, despite its unconventional origins. She realizes Julian is serious about her and isn't afraid to show her off.

7. The Son Discovers the Truth in a Dramatic Confrontation

"What the fuck? I leave for a tour, only to find my DAD fucking my GIRLFRIEND?"

Unexpected return. While Julian is working late at his office, Serenity goes to the Hard Swallow. Her bartender friend, Jackie, notices signs that lead her to suspect Serenity is pregnant.

Caught in the act. In the middle of their intimate moment, Stewie unexpectedly returns home early from his tour, having won a major tournament and secured a lucrative sponsorship. He walks in on Julian and Serenity on the couch, immediately understanding the situation. Stewie is horrified and enraged, yelling at his father and Serenity. Julian defends Serenity and tells Stewie to leave, emphasizing that he and Serenity are dating and Stewie is no longer in the picture. Stewie storms out, declaring his newfound independence and wealth.
