I had on my gown, nothing underneath. I did have on night slippers. I padded down the stairs to my father's bedroom. His bathroom door was open and I heard him peeing. I slipped in his bed and slid down, my gown pushing up around my waist. I pulled the sheet up about to my belly button and got the pillow comfortable. It had been a long time, about 3 years.
"HI," I said, loud enough to hear. "Did you do the schedule?"
"Yes," he said. "It's on my table."
"Ok," I said.
I heard him flush and moving around. The bathroom light went out and he came in and closed the door. He had on what they call a 'tank' top. They were light and didn't show around the neck above a shirt. He also had on boxers, he didn't like to wear pjs. In the morning he always dressed in a suit and tie and stayed that way until the front and outside lights were cut off at night so nobody would come calling except in an emergency. Then he loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top button of his shirt. If someone did come calling all he had to do was button one button and tighten his tie and put his coat back on.
My dad's name is Andrew. His close friends call him Andy. He's 76 years old. He was 51 when I was born and mom was 48. I'm an only child. Dad is a public figure, politics, local small town.
"You're going to be a big help," he said. "Are you sure you want to do this? I'm very appreciative but disappointed at the same time. I didn't want to interrupt your life."
"Job, not life," I said. "I didn't have a life there, just a job."
Dad pulled the sheet down on his side and climbed in. I saw him glance to see if he could see my boobs and nipples through my gown. He could. Mom and dad were always quite practical about things like that and I was too. It was 'if you wanted to dress that way at home then dress that way at home. If somebody could see something then they could see something'. I started wearing a nightgown when I was a little girl. Of course I always wore pants but stopped when I went to the big city, right out of college, for a job with a government agency.
I got an intercity apartment on the 4
th
floor. I went wild. I cleaned it in the nude and sometimes left the curtains open and drank wine the whole time. I didn't wear pants inside the apartment even when friends were over. They were all female. All the males in the intercity were animals that only wanted a couple of hours in the sack and then left. I never did that but I heard stories about it the whole time I was there.
Dad handed me the schedule. It was for city employees. I used to take care of it for him when I was in high school and all the way through college and I took care of a lot of other things like that. Mom passed away a year after I moved to the big city and dad's been behind and a little lost ever since, feeling alone in this big house. I called him often and came back for weekends and slowly realized how much he needed me here so here I am. He kept saying no need.
"I called Henry," he said. "He has some nice compacts to show you. Good prices too. Anything else you need we can talk about."
"Does Henry still rub his ear a lot?" I said. "One time I counted 31 times when you were talking with him."
Dad laughed. "He'll never change," he said. "Katie, you're growing up. If you want to stop, uh, being familiar I'll understand."
"Dad, you're the only man I've ever been in bed with," I said. "I can't stop. Being in bed with you helps me get past some of my frustrations and womanly wilds. I can't run around the house nude, cleaning. Hanna does that, just not nude. Besides, I thought you could use a little feminine company even if I am your daughter. We're private in this house as always. I hung the safety robe back in your bathroom in case I need it to answer the door when I'm down here."
Dad laughed. He said, "That's right. I forgot about you cleaning in the nude. I did think of the bathrobe."
"Dad, I'm not growing up," I said. "I'm already grown. It's been a long day, I'm going to bed. I'm totally nude under my gown and its way up around my waist. No matter what you do, don't think about me being nude below the waist under the sheet in your bed. No mental images either. I'll keep the sheet on and swivel my legs over the side and let the gown drop down. Maybe you'll get my bare butt if you look quickly. Give me a kiss."
We pecked lips and I swiveled around and dropped my legs over the side and pulled the sheet back and stood up. I don't know if he got something or not. I hoped he did. Neither dad nor I had a sex life. I had a lot of years left for that, he didn't. I was looking for an inkling of interest in some way. Dad was old fashioned and it would be very difficult in his mind, particularly in his position in the community. I'm 25. I take the pill.
Mom and dad always had a king size bed and there was plenty of room for me. Now he has a full size. The mattress also wasn't hard or firm. It seemed to mold itself to your body but you didn't sink way down. He had a tv in his bedroom and always watched the late shows and sipped his night time Bourbon and water with the ice cubes tinkling and read or went over some papers then to sleep around 1:00 in the morning.
He got plenty of sleep and always got up late. I was trying to get in the habit of slipping in bed with him about the same time and was mostly quiet when he was watching his late night shows so it got to be normal. The next day we saw Henry and I bought a car and gave him my old one. Busy afternoon but I had my gown on and settled in dad's bed that evening.
I said, "Dad. Thanks for not fussing at me for not wearing underwear. I've never actually had a sex life and I need the feelings. I'd cuddle closer to you but I can't figure out how to ask or how you would react."
"I'm unsure about that too," he said. "It just isn't done. I don't quite know what you want or what to do."
I thought about it for a moment and said, "I guess a little personal help in making my orgasms better and maybe it'll have that effect for yours too. I take that pill so I can't get pregnant in case there's a stray seed somewhere. I thought I would say that, no particular purpose. If you worry about getting excited and popping out of your boxers you can always put a condom on. It wouldn't bother me in the least and it might be exciting."
Dad thought about it a moment and said, "Well, maybe you can do what you're thinking about. I wish you'd give me specific instructions so I can see if I can. I'm sorry I didn't see the problem. I'm getting old I guess."
"If you're getting hard you're not getting old, just cautious," I said.
Dad laughed for about a minute. While he was laughing I moved my pillow over, which wasn't much on a full size bed, and slid over with my side against his. His bare leg was against mine and I could actually feel a little bare waist against mine. Neither one of us was fat but on our backs our hips spread out some. He put his arm around the back of my head and I let my breast rest against the side of his chest.
I said, "Sorry, I forgot. I would like to move over next to you and I thought you might like to rub your fingers up and down on my thigh. If you run into me I won't react until I'm in my bed and can go a little wild. Would that be ok?"
"That's not too bad," he said. "I don't know how much. I mean if I go too far. If I do make it clear."
"Ok, here goes," I said.
