Chapter 1 - Brittany sets the rules for her summer at my house.
It always amazed me how just one phone call can so drastically change your life. My call came from my daughter, Brittany.
I grew up in Kansas, and Sheila (Brittany's Mom) and I met when we were in our early 20's. We dated for a few years, and although she ended up pregnant, we never got married. When Brittany was 2 years old Sheila cheated on me, and I decided to deal with it by moving to California. We agreed on a child support payment, and in the 16 years that followed, I never missed a check. Over the years, I did my best to stay in touch by calling Brittany about 3-4 times a month, and by going out to visit her as much as possible. It wasn't the best arrangement, but it could have been a lot worse.
In what seemed like no time at all, Brittany turned 18, and was set to graduate from high school. Through my prodding she agreed to go to college, and I told her I would continue to help her with money as long as she was in school. It was 2 days after she got her diploma when she called.
"Daddy?"
"Hi, Brit! What's up?"
"Well, it's about college. I was able to get a partial scholarship to a school, and well, the thing is, is that it's right near you in San Diego. I'm already pre-enrolled and on a waiting list for the dorms, and was hoping you could help me pay for what they won't."
"Of course Brit, I always told you I would. Actually, it'd be great to have you so close. We haven't even seen each other for like 3 years now. But you know, honey, California is a lot different than Kansas. It might be a bit of a culture shock when you show up to start school!"
"Well, that's the next thing. Mom already said it would be O.K., so I was wondering how it would be if I came out and stayed with you until school starts. That way we could spend some time together this summer, and I could get to know the area before fall semester!"
To be honest, my first thoughts were a little selfish. Here I was, in my 40's, I've lived alone for years, and was pretty set in my routine. How could I possibly have a roommate for the whole summer? But even after missing practically her entire childhood, my daughter was still asking to spend time with me. It didn't take long for me to answer.
"I'd love to have you stay here, honey! When did you think you might come out?"
"Well, if I pack my car tomorrow, I could be there on Saturday! And don't worry. While I'm there I plan on paying my way by doing all the cooking and cleaning. I promise you won't have to do a thing!"
"I'm sure we can figure all that out when you get here. Are you going to be O.K. driving out here alone?"
"Yes Daddy, no problem. I got your book smarts and your street smarts, so I can definitely take care of myself!"
So there it was. The girl that I knew mostly from phone calls, who I hadn't even seen since she was 15, was going to be living with me in less than a week. I didn't sleep much the next few days, and I felt pretty anxious trying to imagine what I was in for. When Saturday arrived I spent most of the day cleaning the house and getting her bedroom and bathroom ready. Then I spent the evening waiting for her to arrive.
It wasn't until after midnight when Brittany finally pulled up. I should have been in bed hours ago, and I was way too tired to give her a proper greeting. I heard her car in the driveway, so I opened the door and stood in the entry while I watched her get out, stretch, and then bounce toward me. Her long blonde hair was in a ponytail, and it swayed back and forth across her shoulders as she approached me. She was dressed in big, baggy sweats, and except for the longer hair, she looked pretty much the same as she did the last time I saw her. She dropped her duffle bag in the hall and almost knocked me over with her hug.
"I am so glad to finally be here!" she said with her cheek buried against my chest. "Mom was driving me crazy, and I so needed to get away from her! I promise I will hold up my end of the bargain while I'm here, and by the end of the summer you'll be so spoiled you won't want me to move to the dorms!"
While we stood hugging in the hall, all of my anxiety about having her here for the summer went away, and I began to look forward to having some time to finally get to know my daughter. I knew she had gotten older, but it still felt like I was talking with the same awkward teenage I saw 3 years ago.
"I'll be happy if you just keep your bedroom and bathroom clean." I said sarcastically back to her. "And just to let you know, your room is upstairs and down the hall from mine, and your bathroom is down here across from my office. The only bathroom upstairs is in my bedroom, so even though this bathroom is a little far from your room, I thought you'd like the privacy of having your own."
"Privacy?!?!" her face twisted, "After living in that cramped condo with Mom, her creepy boyfriend, and my nosey little half-brother, I don't know what privacy is anymore! But don't worry, I promise you'll still have yours, and I won't get in your way."
"O.K. Brit, now if you don't mind, your old dad needs to get some sleep. We can unload your car and catch up after you get up tomorrow, say around 2 p.m.?" She was notorious for sleeping way past sleeping in, so I half-teased her about it every chance I got.
Pretending to be insulted, she challenged me back, "Yah, right! I'll be up way before you!"
"We'll see. Now try to get some sleep and I'll see 'ya in the morning." I gave her a kiss on the forehead and said, "I'm really glad your here sweetheart...G'nite!"
"Don't let the bed bugs bite, Dad!"
I could hear her moving around the house as I lay in bed, and it was a nice change from the years of silence I had become accustomed to. I started to think about all of the adjustments I would have to make in the next few months, but I fell asleep before anything specific came to mind.
I woke up at about 9:00 a.m., and was confused for a second by the sound of the stereo downstairs, and the smell of coffee and toast coming from the kitchen.
"She was up before me" I thought as I pulled on a pair of sweat pants and a t-shirt, "Boy do I miss the energy of youth..." Still half asleep, I made my way downstairs.
I was looking forward to a fresh cup of coffee, but my need for caffeine disappeared when I saw my daughter fixing us breakfast. The baggy sweats she was wearing last night were a far cry from the short, thin robe she was wearing this morning, and she barely resembled the lanky 15 year old that she was the last time I saw her.
Her back was to me when I walked into the kitchen, and my eyes were drawn to how her white satin robe clung to her skin and followed the contour of her obviously firm ass. The bottom hem line was just a couple of inches below her butt, and out from under it grew a pair of smooth, tan, toned legs. Her hair was held in a bun on top of her head by a giant hair clip, and I could see that her robe was starting to slip off of her right shoulder. I cleared my throat to announce my presence, and she turned around smiling as she offered me a steaming cup of coffee.
"Morning, Daddy! I told you I'd be up first!" she said while handing me the cup. "I hope you don't mind that I made myself at home?"
"No, I'm glad you did" was all I could get out while trying not to spill my coffee. I discreetly continued to size her up while she was setting the table.
She had the robe tied loosely at her waist, and it caused the neckline to gape open as she moved around. Despite her mother's small chest she was carrying a set of 34C's, and they stood proud and firm as she arranged the plates and silverware. Although they stayed covered, her nipples were just hard enough to be poking out against the shiny material, and I could tell that they sat high atop her perfect breasts. The deep neck of the robe opened down past her cleavage, and I noticed that her dark tan wasn't interrupted by any bikini lines. The white satin remained closed below the knot tied at her waist, and I felt somewhat relieved that I couldn't see anything more.
We had a great talk over breakfast, and she made me sit and relax while she cleaned up afterward. I glanced over at her right when she was bending down to load the plates in the bottom rack of the dishwasher, and her robe lifted up just enough to expose the bottom curve of her young, round ass. I stood up quickly to avoid seeing anything more, but she started to speak before I could leave.
"Daddy, I already unloaded most of my car this morning, but there are still a few heavy things left. I was hoping you could help me bring them in before I took a shower?"
"Sure Brit. Just come get me in my office when you're ready."
"I'm ready right now if it's O.K.?" Her coy smile and batting eyes were an unnecessary enticement.
