Part Two: Wintertime
I called Sandy on Friday on her cell phone to find out when she would be home. It was the week after New Year's and the weather was shitty and we threeβHelen, me and Sandy, were all going to the cabin to spend the last weekend before Sandy had to go back to school.
She was shopping for wine and food. "Hello," she said when I called.
"Sandy? This is Dad."
"Hi Dad! What's up?"
"When will you be home, baby?" I asked.
"About two. When will you be home?"
"I'm already home," I replied. "And Sandy," I said quietly, "I have a surprise for you."
"I have one for you too, Daddy," she said.
As soon as I hung up, the phone rang again. It was Helen. "Bad news," she said.
"What?" I said.
"I have to go out of town overnight. There's a problem with the deal I've been working on, and only I can fix it. At least, that's what my supervisor says."
"Well shit, Helen," I said, a little exasperated. To those of you who know my story, you know that I'm in a love affair with my beautiful blond daughter. But you probably also know that I'm still in love with my beautiful blond wife as well. "I had planned to give Sandy a little party this evening. When can you get to the cabin?"
"Probably tomorrow morning, depending on the traffic and the weather. I checked the computer. It's supposed to be cold and snowy at the cabin. I don't know about the roads. When are you and Sandy leaving?"
I thought for a moment. "I guess we'll leave as soon as we get everything packed. Probably about four or five. Man! I hate that you can't come with us."
"Me too, honey. But, it can't be helped. Listen, I'm coming home to pack a bag. I'll see you in a little while. I love you," she said.
"I love you, too," I said and hung up.
I was a little pissed after that. I had hoped that Helen would be able to accompany us to the cabin that night. Sandy and I had planned to gently break the news about our affair to her. I still couldn't believe that Helen didn't know. To be sure, Sandy and I had been careful, very careful, but Helen was not a stupid woman. She would have been able to read some signs. And there was the comment she had made the previous summer. I had been talking to Helen on the phone and she'd said "Save something for me," before joining Sandy and me at the beach. I took that to mean that she knew. And yet, when she got there, she acted as if she knew nothing. So, I could only hope and assume that Helen didn't know that I was sleeping with my own daughter.
While I waited for my two women to come home, I bustled about packing. I packed clothes, food, wine, DVDs, CDs, and certain "personal" items such as lubricant and a bottle of small blue pills. (Thank goodness for the small blue pill. At my age, and with two women to please, it was invaluable.) I was just about finished when the back door opened and my daughter Sandy walked in. She brought in a gust of cold, fresh wind. It was refreshing, just like her. My foul mood disappeared.
Sandy was wearing a sky blue down parka, which she immediately shucked and threw on the couch. She walked over to me and gave me a hug and a kiss. My heart and a certain other part of my anatomy leaped at her embrace as I looked down at her blue eyes.
"What's up, Daddy-O?" she asked.
"Gettin' packed for the big weekend," I said. "Oh, there's new from your Mom. She can't come tonight."
Sandy frowned, "Well, shit!" she said.
"That's what I said. She's got some business thing this afternoon and evening. She's got to be there. She'll get to the cabin as soon as she can, probably tomorrow." I continued putting supplies into a box. As I picked it up to carry it out to the SUV, I said over my shoulder, "Go get ready, honey. I want to leave soon."
"Okay," she said, bounding off to her room. As she left, I couldn't help but look at her shapely ass. It seemed that she had gained a little weight over the past few months. Sandy had always been slender and petite, but now she was starting to fill out a little. Her jeans were a little tighter, and her breasts and butt a little more voluptuous. I certainly wasn't complaining. She may have been eating a little more.
Sandy had always been a somewhat nervous, hyper child. She had calmed down a little lately. I wondered if regular sex hadn't made a difference. We had certainly had sex regularly. Helen's job frequently took her away, and Sandy and I used her absences to make love as much as we could. She had become an eager, experienced lover and I had completely fallen for my girl-child. However, we were always very careful to portray ourselves as only father and daughter when Helen was around. Which brought me back to the reason this weekend was so important: Sandy and I were going to tell Helen about our intimate relationship. We had been lovers for almost a year now, and it was starting to wear just a little on both of us.
