Dancing in the dark

Meeting the Dad

Luke had dropped me off early at my house so I could get everything ready for tonight, Dad was finally coming home and it was going to be the first time I was cooking for Jake. I decided I was going to go all out with a Roast Pork and baked veggies, a passionfruit Cheesecake which dad loved and a Pavlova that Jake loved. I went to the shops as soon as they opened and grabbed everything. I put the meat on and as I waited I did a quick vacuum and mop and aired dad’s room out a bit.

I started on the desserts and before I knew it, it was 4pm and dad was due any minute. I ran upstairs quickly jumping in the shower and deciding on a cute Olive green strapless summer dress with a pair of flat ballet shoes. I quickly platted my hair and put a cute headband on to match.

I made my way back downstairs just in time to hear the keys in the door. I ran over just as the door opened and jumped into my dad’s arms.

“Daddy I missed you so much, how was your flight”

“Oh baby girl I missed you more, the flight was ok a bit boring” he chuckled. I helped him pull his bags in and then led him into the kitchen. “Dad do you want a drink” he smiled over at me “Just a beer thanks baby girl, so where’s this Jake boy” I chuckled at dad as I passed him his beer “Jake my wonderful boyfriend will be here at 5 like I asked him to be and you better behave yourself daddy or no Passionfruit Cheesecake” my dad gasped “You wouldn’t” we laughed as I gave him another hug  “How long are you here for this time daddy” I muttered. He took a deep breath “how about we spend tonight together happily before we talk about me leaving again baby girl”. He always said this when he wasn’t sticking around for long, I nodded and checked on all the food.

Finally 5pm came and Jake showed up I was so excited I had missed him so much already. He was dressed nice with some black jeans and a nice shirt and leather jacket, keeping my hands to myself was going to be a challenge.

“Daddy this is Jake, Jake this is my Dad Harry” dad got up and shook his hand.

“Nice to meet you sir” Jake was so nervous.

“You can call me Harry son, want a beer”.

Jake nodded and visibly relaxed. I headed into the kitchen to grab them both a beer and as I came back I heard the end of my father’s question.

“Ok sir I am 25 years old, I own a local Club that I work at occasionally most of the work I can do from home, I own my own home and car and yes I am very in love with your daughter and hope to eventually one day marry her and start a family, obviously not right now but one day”. I smiled at his answer and as I entered the room I saw them shaking hands.

“He’s a keeper Becky, I like him a lot”.

I smiled and handed them there drinks “Thanks dad I like him a lot to”.

Dinner worked out great and I was very pleased with the food. Jake was finally himself around my dad and surprisingly they got on great.

“So have you two slept together”.

I choked on my food as I stared at my dad “Dad really”.

Jake and my dad laughed “Look I don’t really want to no but if you have obviously your going to want him staying over or you wanting to go to his place so I thought I would ask so I would know”. That wasn’t expected Dad used to be very strict on the whole no boys in my house rule.

“Umm well we are together….. Let’s just say that yes we will be staying over”. I tried to answer without coming right out and saying yes dad your daughter hasn’t been a virgin in 2 and a half years.

The rest of the night was great, dad was tired from flying to so he went to bed around 9pm and Jake left not long after.

I made my way up to my room, it felt like forever since I had slept there. I got changed and got into bed. Just as I laid down I got a text from Jake

Hey princess my beds so lonely without you thinking and dreaming of you goodnight xo

I smiled and quickly replied with a quick I love you so much, so lonely xo. I fell asleep playing with my bracelet and thinking of Jake.
