I was at the office until nearly seven o’clock dealing with the fallout of Ricky’s evening excursion with Emily Smith. Things seemed to be settled. Ricky and Marshall sat down to talk and hugged when it was over. I hoped that was the end of it and they would be able to work together on the football field. If they had a good game and won, then people would forget about the story. There was a good chance that Ricky would do something else to land himself in the headlines—and odds were that he wouldn’t be innocent the next time around. I had done my job and definitely earned my paycheck for the day. It was time to go home…

At least everything I had to deal with today kept my mind off Chrissy.

I was doing my best to be the Daddy that Chrissy needed and keep the door in my head permanently closed. My lust was under control—my desire was contained—but something else had started to toy with my thoughts. I was starting to actually like Chrissy. It was more than just attraction drawing me to her like a moth to a flame. I was watching her grow and become the woman she wanted to be—it was an amazing transformation. It made her even more beautiful in my eyes. She embraced what she needed and when she made mistakes, she understood that discipline was what she had always lacked—a firm dose of it reinforced every lesson. It might have started as something playful, but that need was always simmering beneath the surface.

“Sorry I’m late…” I walked upstairs when I arrived home and found Chrissy in her room.

“Are you?” She looked at her clock. “Oh wow, I was distracted by the assignment I’ve been working on.”

“You didn’t eat dinner?” I raised my eyebrows in surprise. “I figured you would have fixed something.”

“No.” She shook her head back and forth.

“Well, it’s a little late to call the chef. How about pizza—delivery.” I chuckled under my breath.

“Yeah, that sounds good.” She nodded. “I’ll keep working until it gets here.”

“Okay.” I couldn’t help but feel admiration as I watched her turn back to her computer and continue where she left off.

She’s definitely taking it seriously now…

I ordered pizza and it arrived about thirty minutes later. We ate it downstairs and Chrissy seemed eager to go back upstairs, but I could see the exhaustion in her eyes. I decided that she had put in enough work for one evening and suggested that we watch a movie. She was actually hesitant—like she couldn’t spare a couple of hours—so I had to insist. I wanted her to stay focused on school, but I didn’t want her to burn out before the semester was over. We popped some popcorn and ate it while we watched a comedy that had been out for a couple of weeks. It wasn’t very amusing to me, but I liked hearing Chrissy laugh. That was better than the movie to me.

“Alright, I guess I should go to bed.
