A tongue woke me up.
Yeah, I know what you're thinking, but no. That tongue was hours away, in her dorm room, probably asleep. This tongue had four feet, and didn't understand why his new favourite human, the pretty one that gave great hugs, wasn't here today.
"Okay Baron, that's enough," I grumbled to him as he stood over me on the bed. "I miss Christie too, but we're going to have to do without her until Christmas, I guess." It was less than a month away, but having had her in my bed quite often lately...daily, in fact...it was something of a cold turkey withdrawal. That month was going to seem awfully long. Phone sex was just a painful reminder of how much better she was in person.
Little did I know that events were conspiring that might make our separation even longer.
I settled back into my routine, which I thought was pretty much the norm. You know... wake, work, home, eat, sleep, repeat. Sprinkle in dealing with two beagles, but other than that, totally normal.
Well, there is just one other thing. The sexy goddess, thirty years younger than me, daughter of my next door neighbours, who likes to fuck me unconscious. She also likes phone sex, naked selfies, and testing my sanity with suggestive texts. I would respond to them in kind, but with my technological expertise, I'd probably send it to everyone on my contact list, most of whom are not really interested in what my hard dick looks like.
The weekend after Christie went back to school...only three weeks to go, wahoo!...I was out in my backyard, when I heard a voice from over the fence.
"Hello? John? Are you outside?" Angela asked.
"Yes, Angela. What can I do for you?" I called back.
"Do you have a minute? I need to talk to you, in private," she said. "Can I come over?"
"Yes, of course, neighbour. Come over whenever you want," I said. This wasn't the first time she had come over to chat, but there was something about her choice of words that made this visit more unnerving.
'Need to talk' is sinister

"Do you have something you want to tell me, John?" Angela asked, once the small talk and pleasantries were dispensed with.
"I don't think so," I replied, wondering what she was fishing for. "Nothing new to report."
"You're sure? Nothing to do with my daughter?"
Her eyes gave nothing away. She had quite the poker face. Still, she could just be yanking my chain, to see what I coughed up. Maybe if I gave her something, she'd stop probing.
"Well, if it's about her using the pool, I told her she could use it as much as she wanted," I said, trying not to look nervous.
"That's fine, but it's not what I'm asking." She leveled her gaze at me again. "John?"
"I'm sorry, Angela. I don't follow you," I laughed, hoping I could throw her off by appearing casual. It didn't work.
"I know Christie was here last week," she said bluntly, "and I want to know why."
Okay, she didn't say she
knew
why, I thought. She's still fishing, but she must suspect something is going on. Maybe she heard Christie screaming that day, when the doors were open? No, that can't be it. If she heard that, there could be no doubt what was going on, and I'm sure she wouldn't have waited ten days to bring it up. Did she see us leaving together in the car? No. Christie was hidden before I even opened the garage door. How the hell did she know anything?
"Of course she was here," I said, misdirecting again. "She was home for Thanksgiving. She came over to use the pool every night."
Please, please, please. Let it go
.
"Yes she was...from Wednesday night on. So why was she here on
Tuesday
?"
"Shouldn't you be asking your daughter these questions?" I asked, desperation kicking in. I know it wasn't very gallant, but I was panicking a bit. My worst nightmare was rearing its head.
"Yes, and I will, but I'm asking you right now." She leaned forward, resting her elbows on her knees and giving me a serious stare. It also gave me a serious peek down her top, but I tried not to look. Well, not to get caught looking, anyway.
"John, what's going on between you and Christie? Please tell me," she demanded.
"What makes you think she was here Tuesday?" I asked, unwilling to concede that we were busted.
Angela reached into her pocket, and pulled out her cell phone. She tapped the screen a few times, then turned it to face me. It said 'FamTrack'.
Oh. Shit.
"When we got Christie her new phone, before she went to school, I installed this app on my phone. It tracks her location. See the dot?" she asked. It clearly showed she was at school. "I just wanted to keep an eye on her, I don't like her being so far away, all alone. Anyway, when the application installed its latest update, it added a new feature." She tapped the screen, and when she turned it for me to see, the single dot had been replaced by a line of dots.
"Now it logs her location every six hours, as well as her current position, for the last ten days," she said, touching the screen again, to zoom in, "and this dot says she was here Tuesday."
Fucking technology!
I cursed inside.
You mean to tell me we got fingered by some 99Β’ application on a cell phone, that just happened to update at the worst time possible? If it had waited a day, it would have started logging on Wednesday, and we'd be clear
.
"Is Christie having trouble at school? Was she hiding out here, to avoid telling us why she was home early?" Angela's face conveyed motherly concern. I prayed mine didn't show the shocked relief that I was feeling at her misinterpretation of the information.
"I promised her I wouldn't say anything," I said, which was true, although for different reasons. "Yes, she was here, but you'd better get the whole story from her. All I can tell you is that she's not in trouble, and not to worry."
"Well, thank you for that, but I can't really confront her with this," Angela said quietly. "She doesn't know that I'm tracking her phone. I'm sure she'd have a fit, and it's not that I don't trust her...it's just that she's my baby, and I worry. Mom stuff. You don't have kids, do you John?"
"No, I don't," I answered, breathing easier. The little lie was less damning than the big truth would be. "I can understand how you feel, though. My dogs have chips in them, just in case."
"Now
there's
