My Little Princess_(0)

“Hey, babygirl, I’m home!” I walked in the door to see my daughter, Natalie, come running towards me. “Daddy!” I picked her up and hugged her, looking around the hallway. “Where’s mommy, Natey?” Natey smiled at me, that cute little smile that always seemed to make me spark a little. “Mommy left a note for you. It’s in the kitchen with dinner.” I put Natey down, walking to the kitchen and picking up the note.

Hi honey. I had to leave for Colorado. Erin’s having some problems and landed in the hospital. I called your office but they said you were in a meeting so I made you dinner and left this note for you. The boss told me you could have the rest of the week off too, so Natalie won’t be home all alone. I’ll call you and let you know when I find out what’s going on. I love you so much, baby! Take good care of our little girl for me. Oh, and I left you a little surprise in the DVD player for while I’m gone. Kisses! -Faith

My mind jumped to what could have gone wrong with her sister, but I trusted her. I knew she would call when she learned what was going on. “Daddy? Is Mommy okay?” I looked at Natalie, worry on my face but I smiled. “Yeah… Yeah, babygirl, mommy’s just fine. You should go get ready for bed though. Daddy’s had a long day at work.” Natalie looked sad as she asked, “But what about our movie date, daddy?” I sighed, smiling even more, knowing I couldn’t resist her sweet little pout. “FINE. But only one movie, and then daddy needs some sleep. So do you, you’ve got school in the morning.” Natey’s face lit up, and she almost screamed. “I’ll be out in a few daddy!” She ran off to the shower, wiggling her cute little ass as she went.
I smacked myself from all the dirty thoughts running through my mind. She’s your daughter, Mitch, and she’s 11! What the fuck are you thinking? I must have been talking to myself. “I’m thinking about how much my little Natalie looks like her mother, and how much I wish her mommy was here right now! Damn it, Mitch, stop this now! I made my way to the living room, flipping on the DVD player and TV and stretching out on the couch.
