Destiny grew up like any other typical girl on her block. Her father was a banker and her mother was a homemaker. Both seemed very happy, but as we all know, looks can be deceiving.
One afternoon Destiny walked into her house after a long day at school expecting to find the usual, her mother on the phone or cleaning something around the house. But this day was unusual, to say the least.
She heard low muffled moans coming from her parent's bedroom. Destiny grinned thinking her father had come home in the middle of the day for a quickie. She thought nothing more of it and went into the kitchen to make herself a snack.
"You must be Destiny," said an unfamiliar voice.
Destiny jumped up and looked over the refrigerator door to find a strange man standing in nothing but a wet white towel wrapped tightly around his small waist.
"Ummm, yes I'm Destiny, who the fuck are you?" she asked.
"I'm Ted, I'm a friend of your mother's," he said, walking over to the sink for a glass of water.
Destiny tried not to look, but this stranger's body was sexy, tan, tight and built for every type of sin known to women.
"You know you really shouldn't talk like that," he said, "Young ladies don't use that type of language."
"Yeah well, I'll use any type of language I want, I live here, you don't," she said, standing up and closing the refrigerator.
"Well, I see you two have met," said Destiny's mother, Anna, as she peeked around the corner.
"Mom, who is this and why is he standing in our kitchen half naked?" she asked.
"This is Ted, he's a security guard at your father's bank," Anna answered.
"That's a bit low, even for you Mother," Destiny said, shuffling past the stranger and walking into the living room.
"Destiny, we need to talk," said Anna, sitting next to her daughter on the couch.
"What Mother?, you want to tell me how you've been playing the good wife while Daddy's at work?" she snapped, opening her math book to do her homework.
"Maybe I should go," whispered Ted.
"No, I want you to stay," said Anna, "Destiny was bound to find out sooner or later."
"How long has this been going on Mother?" she asked with tears in her eyes.
"About 3 months, Destiny it's been over with me and your father for years honey, I have needs just like any other woman," she said calmly.
"Yeah, you need to be a slut," Destiny said, getting up and walking out the door, slamming it so hard it shattered the small windows into pieces.
Anna looked over to Ted, "It's going to take time," she said.
**********
A week later, Destiny stopped off at her father's bank to say hello and possibly spend some time with him. His hours were hectic and they often had different schedules.
"Hi honey," said her father, warmly smiling and hugging his beautiful daughter, "Wow, this is a surprise."
"I just wanted to see you, Daddy," she said, clinging to him like a vine.
"That's very sweet of you honey, but Daddy has a very important meeting I can't miss, it shouldn't take long, can you wait?" he asked.
"Sure, I'll go wait in your office," she said, smiling.
"Sounds good, I'll join you as soon as the meeting is over," he said as he walked into a small conference room.
Destiny took a deep breath and happily made her way to her father's big corner office. She loved his office, it had an amazing view of the city and all the comforts of home, a couch, a refrigerator, even a t.v.
