"Hey, dad. Just hanging out?" Jadzia Zahn asked her father as she walked out of the house to the pool. She was a 22-year-old beauty. She'd finished college last year, and was working, though not in her career. She still lived at home, much to her father's delight.
"Hey, sweetheart! Yeah, I'm just chilling. It's the start of a four-day weekend. What better way to start than relaxing in the pool," answered her father, Solomon Zahn. He was a lawyer, specializing in corporate law, taking care of clients all over the state. He'd built his practice slowly and put in the work. Now he was one of the more successful firms in Tampa Bay, and it afforded his family an extremely comfortable lifestyle. His wife, Carla, was also an attorney, though she practiced civil law, and she worked for a smaller practice.
"Want some company?" she asked. Her father was her favorite person in the world, and any time they spent together was time well spent.
"I'd love that. Come on in... the water is perfect."
Jadzia answered, "Okay, let me change. Where's mom?" she asked, looking towards the house.
"Who knows? Maybe one of her imaginary clubs she goes to. All I know is, she's not here to bitch at us right this moment. So let's just enjoy that."
Jadzia chuckled, "I know that's right. I'll be right back." She left to go change into a bathing suit. If her mom was going to be around, she was going to wear a conservative one-piece suit. But since it was just her and Daddy, she thought she'd debut the new dark blue two-piece with the extra-short boy shorts on the bottom, that hugged her ass like a second skin. She was sure Daddy would approve. Honestly, she knew she could do no wrong in his eyes. She brought another top just in case her mom showed up before she could run and change.
"Jesus, Jazzie," Solomon breathed as she walked back out and he laid his eyes on her. The satiny dark blue of the tight, revealing bikini gave stunning contrast to her creamy, peach-hued skin. Her soft natural hair belied her almost Caucasian appearance. The top part was simply some string and two circles covering her nipples and areolae, and not much else. The bottoms, while not entirely skimpy, were very formfitting and showed off her tight butt to indecent perfection. She walked to the edge of the pool and said, "Hi, Daddy. You like?"
Solomon said, "Oh, my god, yes. Daddy likes very much, sweetheart!"
She slowly turned all around so he could see all of her, then walked seductively into the water. She, came right up to him and he wrapped her in his arms, holding her close. "Mmmmm...," he moaned as he held her close. "My girl."
"Always, Daddy," Jadzia answered, returning his embrace.
They both knew that their flirting and teasing was way over the line. That they'd blown past improper, flew right over inappropriate, and were now standing at the precipice of taboo, each daring the other to be the first to step over that final line. While they had not yet even kissed, they both knew it was only a matter of time.
Jadzia pulled away and sat on the wall. "Dad, I have to ask you something. But I need a real, honest answer, okay?"
"Sure, sweetheart. What is it?"
"Dad... look, how do you know I'm yours? I mean, what makes you so sure?"
"Aw, this again? Jadzia, you are my daughter. I've-"
"Dad, look at us. Look at this whole family. You're like that rich dark chocolate from Europe. Mom is milk chocolate, and me, I'm white chocolate at best. I don't really look like anybody in the family. How are you so sure?"
Solomon looked at her thoughtfully and sighed. He said, "Alright. I'll tell you how. But what I'm about to tell you, you can't ever tell anyone. Only two people in the world know this, and—"
"I know, you and mom, and it's some big dark secret, right?" Jadzia interrupted.
"No, your mom doesn't know this. And I don't really want her to find out," warned Solomon.
Jadzia's eyes got big as she asked, "Wow, what is it? And why can't mom know?"
"You'll see. So when we were pregnant with you, your mom's OBGYN was a woman you've come to know as Aunt Kattie. When we met her, we found out that she grew up in the same town as me, and she actually went to the same high school."
"Wow! Small world. Did you know her back then?" asked Jadzia.
"No, she was like five years older than me, so by the time I got into high school, she was already out. Anyway, we talked, and it turned out we had a lot in common, and we became friends." Jadzia gasped. Solomon continued, "No, nothing like that. Just good friends from the same hometown, with a lot in common. Well, one time we were joking about delivery-room surprises. That's usually about white women unexpectedly having mixed kids, stuff like that. We didn't think anything about that, because that could never happen to us, right?"
Jadzia glanced nervously at her own very fair skin and said, "I guess..."
"So time goes on, we're in the delivery room, everything's going fine, and then you pop your little high-yellow ass out with that almost blonde hair. Everybody in the delivery room looks at my black ass like, 'What's up with this?'" So Kathy shoots me this look, and I nod back at her just enough so only she saw it. They put you in your mother's arms and she pulled me out of the room. She said, loud enough for everybody to hear, 'Mr. Zahn, you don't look well. I need to take some blood to make sure you're okay. Don't want you passing anything on to your baby. May I draw some blood?'
"We both knew she was gonna do a paternity test right there before any names could go on the birth certificate. She tested our blood three times to make sure. You are, without a doubt, my daughter. Period. And not only that, sweetie, you're just plain black. Not mixed, not albino, you're just a high-yellow black girl who looks damn near white. But you're my kid. I knew all that before you were two days old. That's why there's never been any doubt on my part."
"And mom doesn't know? Isn't that illegal? I mean, she didn't give consent to be tested."
"We didn't need to test her. We know you're her kid... we saw you come out. But I can certainly give permission to test my blood, and as your father, I could give permission to test your blood, too. Kathy just kept it quiet for us. And now you know."
Jadzia though about all this. "So why can't you tell mom?"
"Because she'll think I didn't trust her, and she'd have been really upset. Then and now," explained Solomon.
"But look at me. She had to know you'd at least wonder."
"Well I did wonder. But I found out so quickly that she never had a chance to see me wonder. So when I didn't question her, she just thought I was the best man in the world."
"Well she's right about that part," Jadzia said as she stroked his face. "So that's why you've always been so sure. And mom has no idea that there was ever a paternity test."
Solomon answered, "And now you know. And you also know why it needs to stay a secret."
