I started to wonder if she had realized she was the woman she was, and if the relationship with me had finally put an end to her rebellious phase. And with some luck, it could be a phase that she has left well and truly in her past.
Katie, you are a diamond in the rough.
I was both proud and embarrassed by how our relationship had progressed so far. And the more I thought about it, I realized I could have handled myself better. I looked at Katie as everyone had seen her and the rebel just fought against my feelings toward her. I tried to fight her off, but I’d been drawn to her regardless. I had been trying to defend my emotions against it without winning.
***
I placed my hands behind my head, a huge grin crossed my face. I had woken up happy and could feel the day would only get better.
I heard a noise from Emmy’s bedroom and realized she got out of her bed on her own. She had become an adventurous little tyke now that she had learned how to walk properly and had become very inquisitive. She had learned how to check all the rooms and had learned how to open cupboards and tug at drawers to check what was inside.
Geez, my life is controlled by women. I’m lucky. I have two of the best.
Katie had even gone around the house and moved everything that was dangerous to Emmy and placed it out of her reach. I waited for Emmy to open the door and come running in and climb on the bed.
Shit, Katie, she will see Katie…
I jumped up quickly and pulled on my shorts and headed out of the bedroom. I had to head her off before she noticed Katie was asleep in my bed. She would be confused and would begin to ask questions as to why she was there, and once she had seen Katie, she would expect her to be there all the time.
Keep an eye on Emmy Cam. She will soon be causing trouble.
I opened the door, and Emmy was reaching for the door handle. I looked in her hand, and she had a hold of my pants. Shit, we had dropped all our clothes by the couch.
I scooped her into my arms and whisked her toward the kitchen.
“Daddy,” Emmy screamed as she threw her arms around my neck.
“Who is Daddy’s girl?” I asked as I kissed her on the cheek.
“Me, Daddy girl,” she replied as she squeezed me and kissed me on the lips.
“Emmy, what do you want for breakfast?” I asked as I placed her in her high chair.
“Loops,” she replied with a grin.
Emmy loved the multi-colored loops cereal, they crunched and made her laugh with each mouthful. I placed a bowl of loops with Emmy, and she was busy steadying her spoon and trying to get it in her mouth. I heard a noise from the bedroom and then the trickle of water as the shower started.
I imagined Katie in the shower, and my mind wandered away from the cooking eggs.
The steam rose from the shower, and I could picture the outline of Katie as the warm water flowed over her body, her curves, the glass steamed and I could just see her sponging herself. Bubbles flowing over her naked body as she washed away the scent of our lovemaking.
The shower door opened and the steam began to fill the bathroom, I stood by the door and was being to become aroused, my towel becoming tent like as I became erect. Katie appeared through the steam and enticed me into the shower with a wave of her finger. I dropped my towel and stepped closer to the shower and Katie who waited for me.
“Daddy, eggs!” Emmy shouted as the oil began to burn.
Shit, I had drifted off into a bit of a daydream, and the eggs had started to burn.
“Sorry Emmy,” I replied as I removed the pan from the stove.
I noticed the shower had stopped and expected to see Katie appear at any moment. The bedroom door opened and I could hear Katie’s footsteps on the floor as she stomped her way down the hallway. Katie looked at me, and I nodded in the direction of the couch, she turned and noticed the clothes that lay scattered all over the floor. Fuck, and her panties visible on the couch. Katie walked toward the couch and scooped all the clothes up before dropping them behind the kitchen counter.
“Good morning beautiful,” she said as she walked over to Emmy. She kissed her on the forehead and helped her with her breakfast spoon.
“Wow, you have loops Emmy, I love loops,” Katie said to Emmy.
What about me, where is my good morning kiss?
I looked at Katie and could see she had grabbed a pair of my sweatpants and rolled the waist down until they hung around her hips. She had also taken one of my US Navy shirts which were slightly smaller than my casual shirts. I didn’t always want to show off my muscles all the time, or not in public, at least.
I watched for Emmy’s response, and I don’t think she realized Katie had spent the night here, she just seemed overjoyed she had her playmate for the day.
“What’s that smell?” Katie asked as she looked in my direction.
“Daddy, eggs, bad,” Emmy said from beside her.
“I see, not much of a cook at breakfast time, are we?” she asked with a smile.
“Okay, I burnt your eggs, I was daydreaming for a moment,” I replied as I carried the plates to the table.
“What were you dreaming of that could take your mind from cooking?” she asked.
Warmth raced up my chest to coat my cheeks and neck, and I turned away from Katie so she couldn’t see my face.
“Oh, it was just a work thing,” I said with a little white lie.
“Liar, you were thinking about last night,” she laughed.
“Well, maybe just a little,” I replied as I winked at her and blew her a kiss.
“Keep it up, and you will need a sitter for the day. You’ll have me back in your bed before you can say one Mississippi, two Mississippi,” she said laughing.
“Now there’s a thought, but just pay attention to Emmy, for now, will ya?” I said in a commanding tone.
“Sir, yes, Sir,” she said as she mock saluted me.
Geez, no wonder you’re so sarcastic, you have just woken up, and you’re at it already.
“You mind if I hang here for the morning so I can play with Emmy, I have missed her this week,” Katie asked as she started to dive into her breakfast.
I watched as Katie grabbed some toast and placed an egg inside and bit down, yolk ran down the side of her mouth.
“You have yolk running down-,” I started to say as Katie wiped it from her mouth with her finger.
“Better?” she said as she licked the egg from her finger.
I smiled and looked into her eyes. “Where is that polite woman from last night with the manners?” I asked.
“She’s here. Just not at breakfast time,” she replied and gave me a cheeky grin. Cute little bitch. I was going to fall for her, no doubt.
We finished breakfast, and I started to do the dishes.
“You want a bath, Emmy? Then we can play in the garden?” Katie asked.
“Yeah, bath time,” Emmy shouted as she threw her arms in the air.
Katie lifted her up and carried her toward the bathroom. Damn, Emmy normally got stubborn when I asked her for a bath, but it was good she agreed so easy with Katie asking.
I finished the dishes and could hear laughing and screaming coming from the bathroom. The splash of water and Katie started to sing to Emmy as she bathed her. I could see a very different side to Katie, and it was a rare treat, I had no thought of keeping my eye on her or thinking how I should act. It was a pure and natural side to her, and it was easy to just go along with her. She never asked for anything apart from playing with Emmy.
I like what I witnessed, and it had become quite a revelation. And she flicked the switch from sexy little minx who was on the prowl in an instant. Now, she had become a real princess with all the airs and graces you would expect from one.
“All done,” I heard Katie say to Emmy.
“Hooyah,” they said together.
I stood in the kitchen and started to make coffee. Emmy came running into the living room with her white fluffy towel wrapped around her snuggly. Katie follo
wed with an armful of clothes and started to dress Emmy.
Damn, who would think Katie is only the sitter, they look like mother and daughter, wow…
“Come on Emmy, show Daddy,” Katie said as Emmy appeared from behind Katie.
“Wow, you look fantastic,” I said.
Emmy stood there with tiny pigtails and bows. Her pink t-shirt and her little denim dungaree shorts. She looked like a right little lady. Emmy held her arms wide and spun in a circle to show me all of her. She got dizzy and went to fall as Katie grabbed her and munched lovingly on her neck. Emmy giggled and pushed Katie’s head away from her.
“Tickles,” Emmy said as she walked around the living room.
Katie jumped up and returned the towel back to the bathroom, she plodded back into the kitchen and threw her arms around my neck and kissed me.
Katie looked at me with wanting eyes. “Good morning Daddy,” she said with a giggle as I grabbed her ass.
“Can I go and play with Emmy now,” she expressed in a childish tone.
“Run along, have fun,” I said as I slapped her ass when she turned away from me.
“Yep!”
“Don’t forget, I will be keeping an eye on you,” I stated with a chuckle.
“Oh, that makes me feel good inside and safe,” she replied as she slid open the glass door and walked into the garden.
I stood holding my coffee and glanced out of the window, Katie and Emmy were playing on the see-saw.
“Hold tight,” I heard Katie say to Emmy as she sprung her legs and Emmy’s side lowered to the floor.
“Woo hoo,” Emmy yelled as her side of the see-saw rose into the air.
I was amazed, they had bonded so well together, and if anyone had seen Katie like this, they wouldn’t believe that she was the same girl that stood nearly naked washing her car when I first laid my eyes on her.
The two women I hold dear to me, and they are together playing in my garden. Heaven on earth.
I could see why guys flocked after her when they had a chance, yet she held them off. She had chosen me and let me past her defenses. We had different reasons, but we had both built these walls toward everyone. And once we had been together, even from the first meeting, our walls had been weakened, and we allowed each other inside.
“Swing,” I heard Emmy shout to Katie as she stepped from the see-saw.
I knew Emmy loved the swing. She loved to be pushed higher and higher, the wind blowing in her face. Katie strapped her into the swing and stood behind and shoved Emmy. She started to swing.
“One, two three, whoo,” I heard Katie say as she shoved Emmy harder.
Emmy gripped the side of the swing and laughed each time she was pushed. Katie pushed her higher and higher, and Emmy laughed harder and harder.
“Phew, I’m out of breath, you want to take over?” she asked as I leaned in the doorway watching.
“I’m okay where I am, I’m just enjoying the view,” I chuckled.
Katie looked sternly in my direction and stuck out her tongue childishly.
“Spoilsport,” she said with a chuckle.
“Emmy, that’s enough, I’m tired,” Katie said as she let Emmy slowdown in the swing.
Katie removed Emmy from the swing and led her to her sand pit. “You want to show me how you make a castle?” she asked Emmy.
“OKAY Katie, make you castle,” Emmy replied as she filled her bucket with sand and started hitting it with her shovel.
“I will be by the table with daddy for a while, I’m tired,” she explained to Emmy.
“OKAY, rest,” Emmy replied.
I poured a glass of juice and took it to Katie who was slumped over by the patio table.
“What a morning, I have not stopped yet,” she said as she sipped from her glass.
“You have lots of energy when you want. I know, I have seen it close up and personal,” I replied laughing.
“Do you mind, there are children in earshot,” Katie said laughing and adding a wink.
I had realized while I was in the kitchen, the warmth that had just disappeared when Katie had not come around for a few days, had returned. Oh wow… and returned by the bucket full. The house felt not just warm and inviting. It felt alive.
And I for one, wouldn’t trade that for anything. This was my heaven.
Chapter 24
Katie
I sat at home on the patio and had just taken a swim. I stretched out in the sun and closed my eyes. I was super happy how things had been with Cam and me, and we had not had any heated discussions as we seemed to have had every couple of days.
I felt I treated him a bit more fairly, and he respected me for who I was rather than the way I looked for the majority of the time. We had sort of gelled. Cam was starting to relax in my company, and I’d started to calm myself a bit at a time. I didn’t have the urge to be so rebellious as often.
I could tell from the position of the sun it would be time to go in as the air would start to become chilly and I wouldn’t be able to try and top my tan up anymore. I decided to call it a day and headed off inside to take a shower. As I had finished and was getting dressed I could hear that Dad had returned home. Even he had seemed happier after the conversation he had put Cam through and the way I had started to change. We had not reached real father and daughter stage, but it was not far away.
I headed downstairs, and Dad exited from his study.
“Hi Dad,” I said as I jumped on the couch.
“Hi Katie, I have some news for you,” he said as he came and sat on the edge of a chair.
“What sort of news?” I asked.
I hate you having news, it is always bad and always includes me.
“I have found you a job, well a job opening I know of,” he explained.
I knew it, he's trying to lumber me with a job, shelf stacking in a supermarket or stuck in a crappy office; Cheers Dad.
“Well, you know the base has a day care center?” he said.
“Yeah, so what?” I asked.
“They have an opening to be working with the kids, its right up your alley, just the thing you enjoy, and it is a decent paying position, so you will be able to earn your own money and be a little more independent,” he said.
It sounded cool, but I had not had that much experience in that department, so I had doubt in my mind they would accept me.
“You have no need to worry about the experience side of things. I managed to pull a few strings and well, if you want the job, it is yours. And you just have to tell me ‘yes or no?’ Just consider it, it could be good for you,” he said as he walked off into his office.
I sat there for a few moments and thought about it. I hated Dad when he pulled strings. It made me feel hopeless and unable to do things by myself. But on this occasion, it would be great he managed to do something positive for me for once. And, I could really do with a job, the money would be great seeing Dad had restricted my allowance to try and control my wild child outbursts.
Shit, Emmy.
Fuck, Cam, oh no.
It dawned on me I would miss out on being with Emmy in the afternoon, and I wouldn’t be able to spend time with Cam, fuck. The job is so tempting, but I don’t want to miss seeing them, not now that things are going so well between us.
Dad walked out of his office. “I forgot to tell you something, Cam’s daughter goes to that daycare center. You will have at least one friend there all day with you,” he said with a smile.
“Did you leave that bit of information out on purpose?” I asked.
“Moi? I’m an Admiral in the United States Navy young girl, you think I have time for little japes and jokes,” Dad said smiling.
“Thanks, Dad, tell them I would love to take the position,” I replied.
I was excited and couldn’t wait to tell Cam and Emmy I would be working at the place where she goes. I saw Cam's car as it passed our house, so I decided to go and tell him now. I quickly changed and started to walk up the street. I could see from a dista
nce he was outside in the driveway and was talking to another woman.
Fuck, so he did lie after all…
Cam had been nice, and I had enjoyed all the time I had spent with him, and he goes and does this to me? I couldn’t believe he would be so shallow as to see another woman at his home, how fucking cold and heartless is that.
I stood behind a car and watched them for a while. The woman was stunning, and she played with Emmy who appeared to be fond of her.
Shit, how long has this been going on?
They talked for a while, and I could see that Cam spent a lot of his time smiling. He wrapped his arms around her and gave her a big hug before he kissed her. On the lips.
The two-faced fucker. This is more than a number on your cell phone.
She even hugged Emmy, my little Emmy. And she kissed her on the cheek. The woman hugged Cam again and left. I had no idea what to think about our relationship now. I had thought it was sailing along quite nice and now this. I will show him. I’m not going to cave in and call, I will just see Emmy at the day care center once I have started, and that will be that.
I stormed back to the house and was confused and extremely pissed off. My cell phone rang, and it was Jenny.
“Hey, girl, what are you up to?” Jenny asked.
“I had something planned, but I have just canceled it, so I’m not doing anything now,” I replied.
“You fancy meeting a couple of us down at Shooters Bar?” Jenny asked.
“Why the hell not. I will meet you there in a while,” I replied.
I changed my clothes and chose something that would get me noticed. Shooters was a local bar where a lot of the Navy guys hang out so I would be able to let my wild child run free for a while. I arrived at the bar and Jenny was sitting by one of the tables. I headed over to her, and we started to chat.
“Where are the others?” I asked.
“They whimped out, it is just you and me I’m afraid,” Jenny said as she smiled.
If I had not known Jenny any better, I would have thought she had just said that to me to get me here so she could do some flirting with some hunky Navy guys. And I was in the frame of mind to think it was a damn good idea considering what happened earlier.
“So, Katie, what did you have to cancel?” she asked.
