The story of a newly divorced man on the eve of his 57th birthday...
***
"Damn!"
The tapping at the door could not have come at a worse time. I stopped the DVD and pulled the sock off of my cock, which had gone instantly limp from being startled by this very untimely interruption, pulled up my pajamas, and grabbed my robe to see who it was that stopped me from cumming.
I pressed my face to the door to look out the peephole, and wasn't sure what I would do if it was one of those women handing out religious tracts. Either ignore the knock, open the door and tell her off, or invite her in if she was half-way decent looking.
As it turned out, it was a welcome guest. My youngest child, daughter Lois, was smiling at me through the peephole, so I was happy to pop the door open for some company.
"Lois!"
"Happy birthday Daddy!" my baby girl declared, her voice loud as she informed everybody on the floor of my apartment complex of the event, even though she was off by a day.
"Come in," I said as I gave her a kiss and pulled her inside. "Thank you, even though it's tomorrow."
"I know, but I've got classes tomorrow plus I gotta go to work after that." Lois explained. "So I decided to surprise you and give you your first present."
"First and probably last," I mused as she handed me a bottle of wine. "I'm not going to ask how you bought this, since you're only 19."
"Don't ask, don't tell," Lois said as she shrugged off her jacket and made herself at home on the couch. "Don't I look 21?"
She could probably pass, and if she went to the liquor store wearing the top she had on now, a male cashier would have been too busy staring at her breasts which were well defined in the snug pink sleeveless blouse Lois was wearing.
"Guess I'll have to increase the child support so your mother can afford to buy you underwear," I said, shaking my head and showing my disapproval over her skimpy attire, attire which would have gotten a different reaction from me were it on someone else. "Care to help me drink my present?"
"I was kind of hoping you'd offer."
"Might as well corrupt you all the way," I said as I went to the kitchen to get a couple of glasses and a corkscrew.
"Too late," Lois cracked, and I shook my head.
Lois was the youngest of our three children, and in fact she had been a mistake of sorts, because we had planned on stopping with the two older boys, who were now married and happy, but we eased up a bit on the discipline end by Lois.
Maybe by then we were a tad weary of being the strict parents, or perhaps it was just a sign of a changing age, but Lois turned out to be a bit on the wild side. Not bad, mind you, but just a little edgy. Kind of like her mother was when she was her age.
After Lois graduated high school, we decided to end our marriage of 33 years. The decision process went like this. Mary said we were through and I moved out, and that is how I found myself in this cramped one bedroom apartment, playing with myself on the eve of birthday number 57.
I found the wine glasses okay, but the corkscrew was proving elusive. While I rummaged through the kitchen cabinets I heard Lois yell out from the living room to ask me if I was missing a sock.
I froze dead in my tracks. Not because of the sock, which was something I was going to use to put over my cock so when I shot my load there was no mess to clean up, because that was clean and easy to explain. It was the DVD. The frigging case was probably sitting on the coffee table.
Mercifully, I found the corkscrew and spun around the corner into the living room to make sure Lois didn't see the incriminating evidence. Too late.
"OMIGOD!" Lois squealed when I appeared, and she was holding the DVD case and laughing like a loon. "My Dad's watching porn!"
"Okay, very funny," I said as I came toward her and tried to take the case from her while my face turned red. "Hand it over."
"Wait. Let me see this first," Lois cackled and danced around the coffee table to avoid me. "Ooh kinky."
"Great," I muttered, realizing that this was going to be the worst in a downward spiral of shitty birthdays.
"Seattle Hairy Girls Volume 5 and 6," Lois announced as she read the box aloud. "Two hairy movies on one DVD. You were always one to be on the lookout for a good deal, Dad."
I would have jumped out the window and ended it all, but since I'm on the second floor I would have probably only injured myself, so I stood and waited for my daughter to finish having her fun while trying to explain.
"Hey Daddy, I'm only kidding around with you," she said. "Where's your sense of humor?"
"I think your mother ended up with that too," I lamented.
"Cut the poop, Pop! It's no big deal. Everybody looks at porn," Lois cackled playfully, offering me back the DVD case, but it didn't matter now so I tried to open the wine and make the best of it. "You ever see the one, "My Daughter's Fucking Blackzilla?"
"No, I think I missed that" I said, and the realization that my daughter watched this stuff was a bit disconcerting.
"So I guess I interrupted something," Lois said softly. "Sorry. I should have called first."
"Don't be silly," I said. "Wasn't much of a party I was having."
"You should get out there and hit the bars," Lois suggested as we sat down on the sofa and clinked our glasses together. "Pick up a babe or two."
"57 year old men do not pick up babes."
"They try though, believe me."
"You mean old guys try to date you?" I asked my daughter.
"Oh, a lot of them make a run at me," Lois replied.
"What do you think of that?"
"Sokay by me," Lois explained as she used that odd word she must have invented, which was a combination of its and okay. "If I like them I don't care how old they are."
"Plus, you're still a good looking dude," Lois told me as she tipped her glass and picked up the DVD case again.
"Boy, this chick sure is hairy," Lois said of the girl on the cover, an East Indian girl called Oasis. "And I thought that I was bad!"
I squirmed while watching Lois look at the pictures on the case, and not only because of what she was looking at, but for her dropping little intimate details about herself. Lois always specialized in making us as parents squirm, but this was a little bit much.
"Maybe I should try out for one of these movies," Lois suggested. "The way my pit hair grows so fast, it wouldn't take long for me to look like this girl. What do you think, Dad?"
"I think that you getting involved in that industry would be a waste of the college education I'm paying for," I said while trying not to look at my daughter, who was posing like the girl on the cover, with her arms raised over her head, but I found myself looking at the faint 5 o'clock shadow that filled the gentle hollows of her underarms before staring at the wine in my glass again.
"These kind of women turn you on, don't they Dad?" Lois asked.
"Is this the kind of conversation a father and daughter should be having?" I asked while continuing to try and not look at my daughter who was still posing with her arms raised, the effort making her nipples even more obvious through the fabric of her blouse.
"Why not? You want to know stuff that turns me on?" Lois offered while reveling in my obvious discomfort, but I declined her offer of baring more of herself.
"Hey, you know me," Lois said. "I'm not shy, and this thing is no big deal. At least this isn't a snuff film, or girls doing horses or something. This looks pretty tame."
"It is, I guess, and I do enjoy that kind of women usually," I admitted. "I'm a child of the 60's, after all."
"That's probably how you got hooked up with Mom," Lois said. "She's got a jungle between her legs."
"She credited that to her Italian parents," I explained.
"I guess that's where I got mine from too," Lois said, giving me more information than I needed. "Brian and Todd got your fair complexion, and I got the Mediterranean parts of Mom, like the skin the nose and the hair."
"Oh, and by the way, Mom got a Brazilian last week," Lois added.
"Probably for the new guy," I mumbled, figuring that when Mary's new boyfriend visited and fucked her in the bed I was still paying for, he wasn't an aficionado of women in their natural state.
"So why don't we watch some of this?" Lois suggested, and I started to tell her that was no way that was going to happen, but she already had the remote in hand and was pressing play.
There, as big as life in the 46" screen, the girl on the cover appeared on the screen and I started drinking more rapidly because there I was watching a porn DVD with my daughter, and she was providing commentary like this was Mystery Science Theatre 3000 or something.
"She's even got hairy legs," Lois noted. "Do you like that Dad?"
"Uh - not especially."
"Didn't think so, because I don't remember Mom with hairy legs," Lois recalled. "I do remember when I was young she used to have hairy armpits sometimes. She do that for you?"
"Yeah. Believe it or not, there was a time when we were in love and did things for each other, instead of to each other."
