My days started as any normal day would. I was working from home when all of a sudden the doorbell rang. I was a little puzzled as no one was expected and no packages were expected today. When I got downstairs and open the door I found my daughter's friend, Taylor standing on the porch. Her family had moved up north a few years back but we would see them from time-to-time as her grandmothers's husband had family in the area. Over her one shoulder she was carrying a backpack and the other arm she had a duffel-bag.
"Oh please would you help me. I have no where else to go and no options left. Can I stay with you guys for a while till I figure out what I'm doing next?"
"Why of course," I replied. "We have always made this a safe space for you."
"Oh, god, Thank you," as she dropped her bags and came to me to give me a big hug. She kissed me on the cheek and hugged me again. "I love you." She held me like that for a minute as I hugged her and rubbed her back. She was clearly in need of some affectionate attention. After a few moment she broke the hug, turned back to the door and bent over to pickup her bags.
During the short time she was getting her stuff I was noticing the shape of her ass as I usually do when anyone is in a similar position. She was full figured and maybe a little bit on the hefty side. She has always been a big girl but as a blossoming woman she carried her weight well. She retrieved her bags and came inside.
"Heard about your wife. My condolences. How long has it been about a year?" she asked.
"Yea," I replied, "not quite a year. Thank you for asking. And how about you?"
"You saying 'Yes' is the only truly good thing to happen to me in the past few months. That and graduating High School. My Gram passed away a few months ago. Her husband made it clear shortly after the funeral that once I graduated I need to make other arrangements for myself as he would no longer be able to afford me staying with him. About two weeks after graduation he hands me $300 dollars and told me to collect my stuff and get out. I stayed with a friend but that could only last a few days so I bought a bus ticket and came down here. I didn't know where else to go."
"That's OK, I'll help you figure things out. What about your brother?" I asked.
"He was sent back to his father. My mother is back in jail and my father is just a piece of shit as you know. So you see, I literally have nowhere else to turn." she explained.
"Well the spare room at the top of the stairs is open. Take your things up there and settle in. I have some work to finish in my office. We can have lunch in a little bit."
I helped her with her bags and returned to my office to continue work. At one point I caught my daughter online.
Me: "Hey"
DD: "Whazzup D"
Me: "Taylor showed up on my doorstep today. She's in the guest room and will be staying for a while"
DD: "Ah. so that's where she wound up. Good."
DD: "She kinda disappeared a few weeks ago and I hadn't heard from her since"
Me: "Well she is here and safe. See you Sunday."
DD: "Great, Love you Dad."
Me: "Love you too."
A while later I needed take a bathroom break. As I passed the room she was in I could hear her crying. I figured I'd let her have her emotional time and get it all out.
Around noon I went to the room. I did not hear any sobbing so I knocked gently on the door. "How abouts some lunch? You hungry?" I asked.
A few moments later she opened the door. I could see on her face the dried tears. "Yes, thank you, I am." she spoke in a soft voice.
"Are you OK? You look drained."
"I think now I am. I've had a hard and stressful time recently. When I got in here I lost it and cried. Its like everything I was supposed to feel for the past few months suddenly came out of me."
"Yea, It's OK. I like to think this space is safe. At least no one is gonna come and take you away this time, and in a few weeks you will be 18. Nothing they can do at that point. My Daughter should be here for that so you have something to look forward to."
"So when does she get here? I miss her so." she asked.
"She flies in on Sunday. She will be here about 10 days then off again for her summer internship. So we will have at least some time to do stuff in town. Sandwiches for lunch?"
"Yes, that would be nice."
"Good, clean yourself up and meet me in the kitchen."
After a few minutes prepping lunch in the kitchen I heard her call to me, "Dad." It has been common for her to refer to me as 'Dad' since she was 13 years old.
"What is it?" I said as I turned towards her. She was standing at the entrance of the kitchen wearing only a towel that barely covered her.
"Um, Soap. There is no soap in the upstairs bathroom." she replied.
"Ah, sorry. Noone's been living up there since the Holidays. I never thought to restock it. In the pantry, bottom shelf." She walked past me opened the pantry door and bent over to get the soap. I could just make out the bottom of her young ass and a slight hint of her vagina as she was bent over.
"Thanks, I'll be down shortly." as she stood back up and departed the kitchen. I watched as he went upstairs. Towards the top of the stairs I caught another glimpse of the bottom of her ass as she walked. I took my time prepping lunch and setting the table as I tried to get her young ass out of my mind. I just sat down at the table and she came downstairs to join me wearing just an oversized t-shirt.
