Sofia~
Today wasn't like any other Friday. After school I went to my friends house, really the only house that my strict mother allows me to go to, so I might as well take advantage of it while I can. What made this day different from the rest was that Sara's (that's my friends name) father was coming home after being away for 4 months overseas for this big merger his company assigned him on. He had been gone for quite a while, something that neither Sarah or Mrs. Ward was used to. Mr. Ward, John, as I usually call him when it's just the two of us; is a family man. In fact, I'd say he's the ideal family man. Hardworking and thoughtful, a loving and faithful husband, a caring and kind father, not a pushover nor strict, no I'd say he's firm and fair and knows when the line has been crossed, and how to calmly handle any situation.
I once saw him talk a guy down from robbing the corner store. John is a big guy who likes to keep in shape, I bet he could have easily beaten up the robber but instead he chose words as his weapon. I wish my father was like John. Sara was the only one of my friends that had nothing but good things to say about her father, and she has every right to because to me, like Sara, John is the perfect man.
My mother is sort of a control freak. She doesn't let me hang out with friends unless it's at one persons house, and that person is Sara. Mine and Sara's mom are friends through their yoga classes. I'm actually quite surprised my mother is friends with her, my family is super religious and Sara' family is nowhere near the definition of religious. Sara's mum is always traveling around the world in search of knowledge. She tries to keep her trips as short as possible, 1 week usually, but no longer than two weeks. She likes to spend time with her family.
One thing that always catches her attention are subjects catered to religion. She could go on and on about how the Koran, the Torah, and the Bible all worship the same god and how each believe in the same thing but are just different chapters of the same story. I've learned a lot from her, but my belief in Christ is strong and her stories are just stories, interesting, but stories nonetheless. She once told my mother and me this story about how back in the day men believed that to be closer to god one must achieve euphoria with a woman. That by climaxing together you could achieve "at one ment" with god on a spiritual level, and it didn't have to be your wife, it could be anyone. I could have sworn my mother was gonna scream at her and chew her out, usually at church when she hears anything of the sort from the kids or parents she reprimands them and sends them straight to confession. To my surprise, my mother just laughed and said "my, your stories sure are interesting."
I was shocked that my mother didn't fly into a fit of rage. But isn't that story kind of funny? The only way to be one with god is through copulation and fornication? Silly.
As we arrived at Sara's house I noticed I could hear laughter coming from the other side of the front door. Sara was so excited I'm pretty sure she forgot I was there for a second. I watched as Sara bounced happily to front door and swung it wide open, "Daddy!"
Mr. Ward turned around and picked Sara up like she was nothing, lifting her high above his head before pulling her in for a big bear hug,
"Oh, my baby girl!"Mr. Wards deep voice boomed in happiness. His tall 6 foot 5 inch body towered above everyone of us, Mrs. Ward smile was that of pure joy from watching her daughter finally see her father again after so long. He was wearing a casual white baggy t-shirt and black sweatpants, which was his usual at home wear.
They spoke their pleasantries, quickly catching up with one another as if the 4 long months they spent apart was nothing more than a long weekend. I stood there enjoying the scene, their family seemed so natural and perfect in their own way. Sure they have their fights, since they moved here 5 years ago I've witnessed them have their arguments but in the end they always cared about each other. Compared to some of the families I see at church who only care about appearances, the Ward family was picture perfect.
"Come on, Sofia!" Sara called out to me, "don't forget to say hi to my daddy now that he's back, I'm gonna take a quick shower, mom said shes gonna make spaghetti tonight!"
Quickly turning around and running up the stairs, Sara was gone before I could even respond.
"That girl needs to learn some patients and constraint." Mrs. Ward sighed to herself.
"Well, shes your daughter." Mr. Ward chuckled, "I doubt the concept even exists in her world."
"and what exactly is that supposed to mean?"
"She's exactly like you." Mr. Ward said with a grin.
"Yup." Mrs. Ward said in conclusion, "No food for you tonight." Without waiting for a cheeky response, she left for the kitchen leaving Mr. Ward and me all alone in comedic silence.
Looking at me with a somewhat mischievous grin, Mr. Ward said, "Maybe I'll just have to find something else to eat out tonight..."
"You could order Chinese." I giggled.
"Hmm, I was thinking something more..." His eye looked me up and down, one hand stroking his chin in contemplation the other adjusting the position of waistband, "something much more sweet, juicy and fresh."
"Like what?" I asked curious what sort of exotic food he may have been thinking about.
Mr. Ward took one big step towards me. Looking up at him was hard, he was so much taller than me, my 4 feet 11 inches vs his 6 feet 5 inches was like night and day in more ways than one. He had dark chocolate brown skin, deep brown eyes and a shaved head, meanwhile I had wavy blonde hair, bright blue eyes and white freckled skin. His hands were so much bigger than anyone's I've ever met, so big in fact that he could hold a basketball with one hand like it was nothing, and whenever we would high-five I would notice just how much bigger than me he was. This moment made it more apparent than ever, he towered over me and I was aware of it.
"Maybe, I should eat..." Reaching both hands out and lifted me up from my waist and brought his mouth to my neck, "You."
Without any warning he started lightly nibbling at my cheek and neck, the stubble of his beard both tickling and scratching at my skin causing me to laugh at the sudden surprise. I beat my hands against his shoulders laughing and squealing in delight. Mr. Ward was the only person I knew who could lift me with ease, not even my father was able to lift me without complaining about his back. I wasn't fat or anything, last I checked I weighted less than 100lbs, but as an 18year old girl, compared to the rest of my friends I was small.
