"Daddy!"
She heard the door click, and knew it was him. He hadn't even been gone long, but she always needed him so badly. She rushed through to the hall, launching herself at him, before he even had a chance to properly get through the door.
"Hey, Babygirl!" he laughed, squeezing her tight into a big hug.
"I missed you!" she said, fluttering her eyelashes as she looked up at him
"Aww. I missed you too sweet-pea."
They proceeded to the kitchen, where he put down his shopping bag on the worktop. She didn't bother to ask if he'd got anything for her, but simply began to delve into the bag. Of course, this was not acceptable behaviour, and he gave her a smack on the wrist for it, raising his eyebrows, incredulously.
"Has someone forgotten their manners in the last hour?"
"N...no, Daddy! I'm sorry. I just thought you might have got me a present..."
"And? If I have, you'll get it when I think you deserve it."
"Yes, Daddy. I'm sorry."
He sighed. Maybe that should have warranted a firmer punishment than just a telling off, but she looked so cute today, he really couldn't bring himself to make her suffer. She had been all smiles a minute ago, her pigtails swinging as she ran down the hall, the yellow ribbon in her hair matching her cute little dress. He loved it when she smiled. However, he also loved seeing the look of humiliation on her face.
He poured himself a glass of water, and then picked up her juice cup.
"Would you like some juice?"
Of course, the anticipated flush of embarrassment crept across her face. She was wet, he knew it.
"No, thank you, Daddy."
