18th Birthday Party
"Daddeeeeee." Tina spotted the taxi pull up outside. Yanking open the front door, she dashed full pelt down the drive and through the gate. Just as the taxi drew away she jumped up and clung to my neck.
"Daddy, you're home," she shouted in my ear, almost deafening me. Kisses were rained on my cheek, my neck, and then a full-blooded smacker straight on my lips.
"Love you daddy, love you lots."
"And I love you too, Tiny Tits ."
"Daddy!" She reprimanded, wagging a finger at me. "My tits aren't tiny, they're just right."
"OK, sweetheart, I agree. Have you missed me?"
Tina unwrapped her legs from around my waist, let go of my neck and dropped to the pavement. She stretched her arms out to their fullest.
"This much daddy." She thought a moment, "No, this much and this much and THIS much. She stretched her arms again, jumped to the left, then jumped some more. I doubted she'd exaggerated. Being an only daughter, Tina had my full attention at all times that I was home.
My name's Mike. I'm a civil engineer and I have to go where I'm sent. The salary and perks are fantastic but I can be anywhere at a moment's notice, usually for several weeks at a time. Being part of a strong, go-ahead company, I can be sent all over Europe, Asia, even the United States. It's interesting work but I really miss my 'Tiny Tits '.
Her birth certificate says 'Christine' but it's a name that's rarely used. To the family and to her friends she's Tina. Tiny Tits is a school nickname that's stuck. Not in a derisory way, never that. Tina is a very popular girl - a tiny bundle of energy and fun.
Ever since she left her mom's womb, Tina has been small. She spent weeks in hospital hooked up to all manner of devices finely tuned to preserving her. All through her childhood she was by far the smallest in class and, where many kids shoot up post puberty, Tina simply took her time but never caught up.
Having temporarily managed to be released from Tina's arms and legs, I picked up my suitcase and hand luggage and we both walked inside. Brenda's hug wasn't quite so over the top but her kisses were real. Pinned against the kitchen unit she ground herself against me. Stopping only for fresh breaths of air we kissed for, it seemed, several minutes. In reality it was probably only one.
Brenda, my long-suffering wife of 20 years, seemed to pride herself with how quickly she could make me rock hard, just by kiss and pussy grind alone. I'd swear she logged it in some secret diary.
"It's real good to see you back home," she said, even though I'd only been away two weeks.
"Can you please put daddy down?" Tina asked. "I got to him first."
It seemed that as Tina got older she was becoming more and more jealous of Brenda. Maybe it was my imagination, but the stares Tina gave Brenda had become so sharp they were now razor edged. I shrugged it off. It was all hormones, her age. Tina would wake up one morning and all would be normal again.
"Come on then," I said, turning my attention my second favourite female. "Let's see what I can find for you."
It didn't take long. The bottle of perfume was Tina's favourite, bought from the airport shop.
"Daddy that is so ... WOW! Thank you, thank you, thank you."
At only 4 ft 9 inches tall and weighing barely 8 stone, when I bent down to greet her Tina would hook fingers round my neck so I could lift her easily.
"Daddy, if you'd been 2 days more you'd have missed my birthday." Neither Brenda not Tina liked me being away from home so much, but if my expertise was needed at a moment's notice I could be already booked on to the next flight out. I'd only just managed to wangle an early return.
"I'm sorry I missed helping organise your party but at least I made it home and there might just be an 18th birthday present for you from Paris that none of your friends will have." Tina's eyes lit up.
"Anyway, Tiny Tits . What have you been up to?
"Daddy will you stop teasing." Tina knew I was just trying to wind her up.
"OK Princess. I promise not to call you Tiny Tits again."
"Thank you, Daddy."
"At least until tomorrow."
"Daddy!"
"OK sweetheart. I won't."
The 22 carat gold bracelet had dented my credit card, but not severely. It was gift wrapped by the store, a famous Parisian store; I just had to make sure Brenda wouldn't see the bill. The gift was locked safely in the suitcase. Tina would have to wait two more days before she could wear it.
I'd phoned home as soon as I'd cleared border control. The meal was almost ready. Tina still hugged me tight, thrilled with the perfume. As our only child Brenda had asked me numerous times not to spoil her. It fell on deaf ears. Being protective though, I was still concerned about Tina's short skirts. Like many girls her age, Tina favoured very short skirts, her excuse was that they made her legs seem longer, maximising what little height she had.
It didn't take long for Tina to open the package and spray a little perfume on her wrist, dabbing a little behind each ear. The perfume smelled good as I leaned to kiss her on the cheek. Again, protective of my precious daughter, I was wary not to cause myself any undue visible embarrassment.
"Love you Daddy!" said Tina, precious words I'd heard many, many times.
Brenda shouted through. Dinner was ready.
We sat around the table as we'd done many times before. Tina chatted away, brought me up to date with all the college gossip, local news, who had stolen who's boyfriend, stuff like that.
