Tom had been cleaning out some of his cupboards, digging into them and locating things that he didn't use. Not only not use but, in some instances, didn't know he possessed and wouldn't know what to do with anyway. These latter items tending to be things that his late wife had accumulated. Rather than just throw them out he gave Heather, his daughter, a call. Why yes, dad, I would love to possess some of those things, was her attitude. It was a case of bring the lot over and she'd go through it. What she didn't want her housemates might. The remainder, if any, she'd donate to charity.
On Saturday morning Tom stuck the boxes of unwanted items in his car and drove around to where his daughter resided. When Heather had expressed a strong desire to move out of home he'd let her have one of his rental properties. Sub-letting some of the rooms provided her with some additional cash. He considered Saturday morning the best time to make the delivery on the grounds that Heather and her housemates would be home and they could pack the boxes inside.
Arriving, Tom rang the bell and waited. Waited some more. Rang the bell again. Resignedly he fished out his keys and unlocked the door. Walking in he called out and received no answer. Shrugging, he headed down towards his daughter's bedroom, assuming that she was sleeping in. Not an unusual occurrence for a young woman in her late teens, though he did wonder where her housemates were. They couldn't all be asleep, surely?
There was a young lady sprawled on top of the bed. Considering the hot weather Tom couldn't blame her for not being under the covers. He also quite approved of the fact that she had chosen to only wear panties and singlet to bed. He might not have been quite so blasΓ© if the young lady had been his daughter, but she wasn't. A total stranger was looking at him with startled eyes.
"Who are you and where's Heather?" asked Tom.
At the same time the stranger chimed in with, "Who are you, and you've got a hell of a nerve barging into my house?"
Tom shrugged and answered her question.
"I'm Tom, Heather's father, and her landlord. Technically that makes it my house, not yours. The reason I ask who you are is because I know you're not one of the tenants."
"If you're the landlord you're not supposed to enter without permission and you have to give us notice."
"True, but I'm not here as the landlord. I'm here as Heather's father and as her father I don't need to have permission to visit her. You still haven't answered my questions. While you're at it you can tell me where everyone else is. The place normally seems to be crawling with people."
He was amused to see that the young woman hadn't tried to flick the covers over herself, simply remaining where she was. Admittedly, the singlet and panties covered her charms, but only just. He looked, admired, and waited.
"I'm Michelle," she finally said. "They call me Mish. I was out with Heather last night and decided to crash here rather than go on home. Heather got an early morning call asking if she could do the early shift at work as they've got a couple of people away with the flu."
Figured, thought Tom. That's probably the only thing that would have got her out of bed early on a Saturday.
"One of the girls went with Heather to do an early shift. The others said that as Heather and Sandra had woken them with their rushing around they were going to get up and go shopping. I decided that with everyone else gone I'd get some more sleep."
"Now that you know everything, including the fact that Heather isn't here, feel free to go away."
"Yes, I might just do that, but I do have to bring some things in from the car first. Do you want to come and help me?"
"Dressed like this?"
"I'd have no objections," Tom assured her. "Not a single one."
"I'll pass," said Mish with a laugh.
Tom grinned and moved closer to the bed, looking down at Mish. A very nice piece of feminine pulchritude. He wouldn't mind seeing her without the underwear.
"That singlet - is it yours?"
Mish blinked and looked down at the singlet she was wearing. She shook her head.
"Ah, no, it's an old one of Heathers. She let me have it for nightwear. Why?"
"Because it looks old and a little tatty and I don't think it will matter much if I ripped it apart, taking it off you."
"You want me to take my singlet off?" asked Mish, sounding slightly offended.
"That's not what I said," Tom pointed out. "I want to take hold of it and rip it off you."
"You're crazy. Why would you want to do that?"
"It's on my bucket list. Find a pretty girl wearing a singlet and rip it off her. Also, it's blocking my view of what appears to be a very nice chest. I find I really want to see that chest without the singlet. I just feel that it will add something to my viewing experience if I take that singlet and shred it to clear the way."
Tom smiled pleasantly, while Mish looked slightly shocked. Taking his time he reached down. There were a couple of small holes worn through the material just below the neck-line. He was sure that if he slipped a finger into each one and pulled the singlet would be history.
