It was Saturday afternoon and I was lounging by the pool all by myself. My wife Alexis had gone to Phoenix a week ago to visit with her mother, who had fallen and sprained her foot. A little comfort and compassion is just what my mother-in-law needed and my wife saw to it that she got it. She would be gone for another week, and I was bored to death. Taking another long swig of my ice cold beer, I could hear my daughter’s voice screaming out my name as she ran through the house calling for me.
"I’m out here by the pool I hollered back."
In a flash she was by my side, leaning over to catch her breath, and almost gasping, blurting out, "Daddy is it okay if Marcus comes by this evening and him and I swim in our pool?"
"What? All that screaming and jumping around just to ask me that? Of course he can come over. He is your boyfriend and I already told you he seems like a nice enough guy, so why all the drama?"
I will tell you a little bit about my daughter Miranda and her most recent boyfriend Marcus. A recent high school graduate and the captain of her gymnastics team, Miranda is just under 5’ tall and weighs maybe 90 lbs, soaking wet. Strawberry blonde hair, cropped short and as flat as a pancake. Not that I look you understand, but a man knows when a woman has boobs or not. And Miranda had none as far as I could see. But as cute as a button. Tight little ass and as limber as a gymnast can be. She dresses and looks much younger than her 18 year old body shows. Now Marcus, he’s another story altogether. Marcus is the high school Quarterback and got a recent scholarship to college and would be leaving in the fall. He’s about 6’2” and around 200 lbs, give or take a few pounds. Broad shoulders and muscular all over. He’s also black, but that was okay with me. The important thing is Miranda likes him and he treats her like a princess as far as I could tell. Like Mutt and Jeff walking together, but a great pair to see together.
"Drama? What drama Daddy. I’m just excited about him coming over is all. You know he’s the nicest guy I’ve dated, and um, uh, well Daddy, I was wondering if you could give me and Marcus some privacy this evening. Not like leave the house or anything, but you know, leave us alone out here by the pool."
"Of course, I’m kind of bored anyway with your mom gone, so I may go out for a few beers and then go to my study and catch up on some long over due paperwork. You two have fun. Then winking and swatting her ass, but not too much fun."
Rolling her eyes and giving me the look, "Daddy!!! It’s not like that. I just want to be alone is all. Is that too much to ask? He’ll be here at 5:30 okay Daddy?"
Glancing at my watch, seeing it was a little after 4 and nodding, "Don’t worry, your old man will be out of your hair by then."
Leaning down and kissing my cheek, she purred, "You’re the best daddy. Thank you. You don’t need to leave the house you know. I just want alone time out by the pool."
