It was a warm June afternoon. I had just gotten my nails done. Henry took forever as usual, making sure each nail was perfect before I left. I walked to my car, the blinding sun beating down on me. I made sure to be careful as I buckled my seatbelt, not wanting to ruin my fresh manicure. I pulled out of my spot and got onto the highway. Driving passed my old high school, I saw some boys playing football, I remembered seeing them do that many years ago when they were freshmen, we're all getting older I guess.
It took me about 15 minutes to reach my destination, a hotel a few towns over. Today was the day I was finally going to meet him. After months of talking and getting to know each other, the day was here, I couldn't have been more nervous, yet incredibly excited. I looked at myself in the rearview mirror, tucking a wisp of hair behind my ear. I grabbed my purse and overnight bag from the passenger seat. As I got out of the car, I looked around, the sun was still beaming. I took out my phone and looked at my message from him. It read, "Room 236". I walked into the lobby and headed straight for the elevator. When the door opened I sighed in relief that no one else was in there. I needed a moment to myself, so no one could see me smiling like an idiot. I took the elevator to the 2nd floor, and walked the long winding hallways looking for the room. I finally saw it, "Room 236" in big gold letters on the door. I put my phone in my purse, pulled my dress down a little, exposing more of my cleavage, and gently knocked on the door.
I looked down at the nob, and my heart jumped when I saw it turn. The door opened and it was him. After months of waiting to see his handsome face in person, there he was, right in front of me.
Tall and strong with a killer smile, he said in a soft voice, "Hi Cait". My knees started to feel weak, and I felt a fire in my loins.
"Hi Daddy", I said shyly, smiling up at him. He opened the door completely and we embraced in the doorway. His hands running up and down my back, my head resting gently on his chest. He invited me in and took my bag and placed in on the couch near the window.
"Shall we sit, sweetie?"
"Sure!" I exclaimed with a big smile. We sat on the edge of the king sized bed. The linens had been ironed, the mattress was firm, yet comfortable.
"How was the drive?" He asked.
"Pretty quick, hardly any traffic." I answered.
"I've been pacing back and forth all morning, hoping that you'd really come." He stated, like a child unsure of his own voice.
"Nothing in the world would've stopped me from being here with you today." I assured him.
