The phone call came just after I turned off the light and shut my eyes. Or, so it seemed. But when I looked at the bedside clock it was almost 2:00AM. My wife turned on her light and picked up the phone. Her voice changed from anxiety to annoyance and then back to what would be considered normal for two in the morning. I understood from her side of the conversation that Kate, her daughter, needed a ride home. The designated driver had become a designated drinker and Kate knew the rules - no driving with anyone who had been drinking. Before my wife asked, I was rolling out of the bed and getting dressed.
"Thanks honey - I'll make it up to you."
"'k, sexual favors are warranted." I replied groggily. "Where's the vixen at?"
"She's with Angela at the White Rabbit - you'd better hurry because it's closing time and they're getting kicked out."
'Ok," I said, pulling on my jeans. "I'm off - go back to sleep."
The White Rabbit was a little bar that the kids liked to go to - a pretty good venue for funky indie bands - about a 15 minute drive. It was a pretty balmy spring night so I wasn't worried about Angela and Kate freezing while waiting outside the nightclub but I was worried about the seedy neighborhood. I sped up. Driving through the quiet streets on a warm spring night and thinking of Kate and Angela at the night club gave me a twinge of nostalgia and made me think of nights in my past when I'd be out at night clubs like the White Rabbit.
Kate and Angela were best buds and had been since public school. I don't know why though, because they are different as night and day. Angela, a very pretty 19 year old tall, thin, blonde, is anything but an angel. When I say tall, she's like 5' 11" - she could be a run-way model. She was always pushing the line and causing us to worry that she'd end up getting Kate into trouble. But Kate was always pretty level headed. I guess they made a good pair - Kate was Angela's better judgement and Angela challenged Kate and took her out of her comfort zone.
Kate is my step-daughter - I had moved in with her mother Sarah when Kate was 8 or so. I had watched her grow up through her tom-boy stage and into a stunning 19 year-old. We were always close and enjoyed each other's company. It did not take me long to think of her as my daughter. Her real dad made half-hearted attempts at staying in contact during the early years but that trailed off as the years passed. At 5' 8", Kate is a bit shorter than Angela but she had always been into competitive swimming and track and field and now she had a beautiful well-toned athletic body.
I pulled up to the front of the night club and saw a group of boys chatting with Kate and Angela. I did a double take when I saw what Angela was wearing - a super tight and super short little black, strapless dress and lace up "fuck-me" shoes. Yigh. No wonder the boys were hanging around. Kate was wearing a really pretty flower print cotton dress that suited the spring night - very elegant and sexy in an innocent way. Her shoulder length brown hair fell free - normally she had it in a pony tail. She looked gorgeous.
I rolled down the window and called them over. Angela got in the front and I could see Kate roll her eyes as she got in the back.
"Hi, Tom," Angela slurred as she leaned in close, "you didn't have to come. We could have gotten a lift with Jim and his friends."
"I don't think so." I heard Kate mutter from the darkness of the back seat. She sounded a bit miffed.
"Hey Tom," Angela said playfully, "why don't you drop Kate off first and then drive me home. Maybe I could invite you in for a nightcap."
I looked at Angela with my eyes raised. I heard a humph from the backseat as my "I don't think so." echoed Kate's words.
Angela smiled at me seductively as she curled her long legs under her. "I had to try..."
"Tom, can you help me with this seat belt, I can't get it to work." Angela looked at me innocently, making half-hearted attempts with the buckle.
I sighed and leaned over Angela's lithe form. I stole a glance down her cleavage and breathed in her perfume as I pulled the strap over her and snapped the seatbelt home. I had an impulse to lean down and pull her into me but restrained myself. Before I could shift back to the driver's seat, I felt Angela's hand on my leg. I know I should have moved her hand away but I let it stay. She looked into my eyes coyly and then moved her hand up and cupped my cock.
"Hmmm, nice." she purred.
I thought so too but I looked at her sternly and placed her hand back into her lap.
I heard, "Can we get going, please!" from the back seat.
I tried to keep my eyes on the road and away from Angela's long legs that she had pulled up as she sidled into the corner of the seat. She had taken off her shoes and her dress had hiked up so that I could see the outline of her red panties. I started to think that maybe I should drop Kate off first.
"So, Tom, do you like my dress?"
"Um, yes very pretty." I answered noncommittally.
"Do you think it's sexy?"
"Yes, very sexy." I answered, my throat a bit dry. I heard Kate huff from behind me.
"You sure you don't want that night cap?" Angela asked again.
"Jesus, Angela - will you just shut up." Kate's icy voice came from the back seat.
The rest of the drive to Angela's house went by in silence. Angela winked at me as she got out. Kate got out and helped steady her friend. Angela gave Kate a big hug and I could see Kate shake her head as she hugged her friend back. Holding Angela's shoulders, Kate turned her towards the house and gently pushed her towards the front door. "Go and sleep it off, kid."
"G'nite, Kate. Goodnight, Tom," Angela called out as she made her way to the door. "pleasant dreams."
Kate got in beside me. I waited until Angela was safely inside her house before I pulled away.
"God she pisses me off sometimes." I heard Kate say.
I chuckled in an embarrassed way. We drove in silence for a while.
"So, do you think she's sexy?"
"Uh, yes - she's very pretty."
"She wants to jump you. She thinks you're hot."
I have to admit my ego puffed up a bit with that.
"Hmmm, well it's not going to happen." I said.
"That's good. All my friends think you're hot."
"I'm twice their age."
"Doesn't matter."
I could hear in Kate's voice that she had been drinking a bit too.
After a few minutes she asked, "Do you think I'm sexy?"
"Kate, I don't think a dad should be having this conversation with his daughter."
"You're not my dad - you're my step-dad."
I looked over. "Kate - I am your dad. And I love you."
"Ya, I love you too dad." A pause, then "But do you think I'm sexy?"
"Kate - you are very pretty." I replied a bit exasperated.
Kate responded dejectedly, "That's not the same thing. You don't think I'm sexy."
"Ok, ok, yes, I think you are very sexy." I said trying to cheer her up.
Silence, then very quietly... "Have you ever fantasized about me?"
"Jesus, Kate - I'm your dad!"
"Please, tell me? I want to know." she pestered.
"Alright, yes. I have fantasized about you." I blurted before I could think better of it. Oh shit, that wasn't very appropriate, now how am I going to get out of this, I thought to myself.
