Nothing like a nice hot shower to make you feel better. A shiver ran down my spine as I headed back to the tent, the cooler evening wind blowing against my neck. My long dark hair still damp. Clinging to my bare shoulders and neck. My bones feeling slightly less achey than half an hour ago.
I had been camping before, when I was younger, but not for a long time. I had enjoyed it back then. Now I was 18 though, and preferred my home comforts. Especially a bed that didn't make you wake up wondering who had tried to break your neck and back in the middle of the night. That's if you slept at all. I hadn't got a lot of sleep last night, and that never helped my teenage mood swings.
It was spring. Early April. Nice during the day when the sun was out, but still cold at night. The evening air on my wet hair ruining the warmth the warm water had provided.
"Things I do for him," I muttered. It was my dad's fault I was here. He had sold me a fun, relaxing, and 'at one with nature' holiday. It'll be adventurous, he had said. I had only done one night and had so far found it about as relaxing as shoving a crispy baguette up my ass. Not my idea of adventurous. I wanted sun, sea and, yes, sex. That was my idea of a holiday. None of those was out in force on this holiday, especially the latter with my dad around.
I know, I'm spoiled. I can't help it. But I was actually here for my dad. The way his handsome brown eyes had lit when he had suggested it had made me buckle. He wanted to spend time together and I couldn't refuse him. I loved him dearly. Maybe too dearly.
I'd like to say that it had been a while since he had featured in one of my fantasies, but it was only last night, whilst in my sleeping bag next to his, bringing myself to a silent orgasm as I listened to his breathing.
I shook my head. Now was not the time to get worked up again. I was nearing the tent, no sign of my dad. He must of headed off for a shower too.
I pulled back the tent flap and nearly had a heart attack as something flashed past me, sprinting out of the tent. I did an embarrassing squeal before I realised it was the little Jack Russell that belonged to the tent opposite, the owner's shouts and my return causing it to run off. I entered the tent to see what it had been up to.
"You little bastard," I shrieked. My sleeping bag had an obvious wet patch on it. I quickly scooped it up, trying not to put my hands in the dog piss and threw it out the tent.
If I was grumpy before it was nothing compared to my new mood. I looked over at the family, readying myself to go over and complain. Then realising there was no point, it wouldn't stop my sleeping bag being covered in piss.
"Mother fuckers," I growled.
"You okay?" dad asked. Making me jump.
"No I'm fucking not!" I said, spinning to face him. A few minutes later and I might have calmed, but right now my anger was raw. "That fucking dogs pissed all over my sleeping bag." I raised my voice loud enough that the family could hear and they looked over sheepishly. "Now I've got nothing to sleep in. Fucking place."
"Stop swearing," dad said, looking around. "There's kids around." I gave him full on evils. Not understanding why he couldn't understand my anger.
"I don't care," I said, lower but still angrily. "We could have gone to a nice hotel, instead I have to sleep in this plastic shit hole in a pissy sleeping bag."
"Han, it's fine. We'll......." He started.
"I knew I would regret this," I said.
"It'll be fine," he said, quietly, hurt spreading across his face. I regretted my outburst, but was way too stubborn to apologise.
"I'm getting a coffee," I said, as I stormed off. Luckily, the on-site pub had hot drinks. Without coffee I'd be more of a grumpy shit.
It took me a while of walking, well stomping, and the coffee to calm me down. I hated my spoilt brat moments. Luckily as I grew older they became less frequent.
I took a gulp of coffee, instantly regretting my choice of drink. One, it wasn't alcohol, and two, I'd be up all night pissing. Not ideal when it was a long walk to the toilets.
My dad was in his camping chair when I got back. A glass of red wine in his hand and one for me poured and on the fold out table. He knew how to sweeten me up. Fuck it, I thought. If I was going to be cold, and up pissing all night, I might as well make it worth it. I was getting drunk.
He was wearing sunglasses and I couldn't make out his eyes. I was imagining his eyes roaming over my body. The sun was still out and it was still warmish, apart from the occasional cold breeze. I was wearing my green Adidas football shorts and pink cropped vest top.
I liked my body and hoped he did too. My thin waist and flat stomach on show. My legs were a bit too skinny and my breasts were a bit small for my liking, but there was enough there for a handful.
I was sure I had caught him looking earlier when I was putting on my wetsuit over my bikini. It was probably my filthy imagination, but a girl can dream, right?
"I'm sorry for being a dick," I said, as soon as I was close enough.
He smiled his usual heart melting smile. "It's okay honey," he said. "I'd be angry too if someone pissed on my bed."
"You not into the kinky stuff then?" I joked. He laughed. Probably his relief at my better mood stopped him from commenting on an inappropriate joke. We didn't normally hold back from each other though.
I sat next to him. Facing the tent opposite. I purposefully stared at the owners of the pissy dog. Had to make them feel a bit guilty, right?
We drank and laughed over the next few hours. I missed him more than anything since starting uni. I missed my friends of course, just not as much as I missed my dad. The evenings spent snuggled up against him watching Marvel, or Star Wars films, or whatever else we could find.
"You okay?" he said. Snapping me out of another day dream.
"Just tired," I said. I wasn't drunk but I was slightly light headed. "I might head off to bed." I was cold too. The temperature had dropped dramatically. Even wearing my leggings and hoodie now, and also a fleece blanket over me, I was still shivering.
"I'm tired too," he said. "Might as well call it a night." He stood and wobbled a little.
"You okay there light weight?" I said. Laughing.
"Just my legs going to sleep," he said. "Sat down too long."
"Whatever," I said, standing too. I did the same wobble and we both laughed.
We did the night time ritual of teeth and bodily functions and met back at the tent. He was already inside, a different t-shirt on and Darth Vader pyjama bottoms. The same that had elicited a comment from me on our first night. Not that mine were much sexier.
I had avengers ones and quite happily dropped my leggings to pull mine on.
"My eyes!" my dad cried. Faking a gagging noise. "Jesus honey, warn me before you do that."
"You love it," I joked. I left my pants on, every layer of clothes was going to help keep the cold out. Even with my sleeping bag.....
