Sarah
Iâm happy to see my dad, always. Just right now though? I really thought I was ready to give myself to Patrick after having some sleep and of course, something to eat. Needing to be sure it was really what I want, and that Iâm ready to face the consequences if daddy finds out is a relief. Having dad turn up out of nowhere, isnât.
Him turning up, I can see the inconvenience on Patrickâs face, but I also know that heâs used to dealing with things on the spot and he seems to have a plan involving dad and whiskey. Which Iâm not crazy about, to be honest.
Dad surprises me, and probably Patrick too. He stops drinking after Patrick leaves, and we have a deep daddy/daughter conversation instead, about my future plans and my time here in the States. Patrick texts me, but my phoneâs on silent.
âWhat happened today, dad? You seem⦠different.â I ask, genuinely concerned.
He blows air out through puffed cheeks, considering his answer while eyeing me slyly. âSo do youâ¦â He observes, and I feel my heart in my throat again.
Touché.
I donât mean to, but I shift uneasily in the chair. The big lounge is soft and I end up rolling to one side awkwardly. Dadâs eyes are still on mine though; like heâs waiting.
I look around absently. Iâve always been a terrible liar. Thereâs an awkward silence before dad speaks again.
âDonât make me regret leaving you here with Patrick, Sarah. I can arrange to have you sent home⦠if things donât⦠work out the way Iâd planned.â
âAnd what have you planned, daddy?â I ask, not able to control the venom in my voice.
âIâm not a little girl, yâknow. I can look after myself now.â I continue, feeling the anger welling up. All the years of pretending not to know what he really does, doing as Iâm told, pretending to be so blind to it.
Dad looks hurt more than anything. I really think heâs going to let me have it for speaking out of turn, but he looks hurt.
âHoney⦠Iâm sorryâ¦â he says, getting up from his seat and shifting over next to me.
âI know youâre a big girl now, but can you blame me for being so overprotective? Just be careful around Patrick, thatâs all Iâm saying. Just remember your place as a guest in his house and an employee for the business⦠Do it for me?â he asks, putting on his best puppy eyed daddy face, which is kind of adorable.
I hook my arms around his neck, pecking his cheek, âOf course daddy, sorry for sounding so-â
He pulls back from me, gripping me by both arms. His eyes grow fierce.
âDaddy, what is it!?â
He springs to his feet, âItâs him! I can smell him all over you! Patrick! Motherfucking little cunt!â
I flush out of reflex, looking down and putting my arms between my legs absently, trying to hide the guilt that his anger exposes inside me.
âI fucking knew it! He roars, and starts pacing the room in front of me.
