My Dad's Client

5: A day with my dad

I wake up and realise my dad wants to have a daddy-daughter day. I go have a quick shower and find an outfit. I slide on a skirt, a turtle neck top and black tights. I slide on black boots and do light make up. I loosely curl my hair and do natural make up. I walk over to my dresser and pull on a bracelet. I sigh and go down and have breakfast. I have porridge and watch Cara eat breakfast with Tom. I smile and I hug Cara bye and head to dad's house. I park and go knock on his door. His maid, Sarah opens the door. I smile and she waves me in. "Come on in, his in a meeting for 3 hours" said Sarah. I nod and sit on the sofa.

Eventually dad walks in and smiles. "Hey want to stay in and just relax" said dad. "Sure" I said, sighing. Dad sits down but his phone goes. I sigh and he goes to his office. I roll my eyes and go make a coffee. I sit at the island and sigh. I fucking hate when he does this. He asks me to hang out and then boom, gets phone calls. No wonder why I don't do this much. Sarah smiles as she walks in with hot chocolate. "I remember when your father used to be busy and you waited, I'd give you hot chocolate" said Sarah. I take it off her and smile. "Thank you" I said. I take a sip and smile. Dad walks in. "I'm sorry, sweetheart, OK let's go" said dad. I nod and finish my drink. I hand it to Sarah and we leave.

He drives to this fancy restaurant and parks. We go inside and get seen to a table. "So, how is it living with Tom and Zawe?" asked dad. "Great" I said. "I assume Cara is with a babysitter" said dad. "Uh... Tom offered to mind her while I was with you" I said. "He is not a babysitter" said dad. "I know that but he offered" I said. "Fine, just this once. No more. I need him to be focused" said dad. I nod and we order soup. "Now, this outfit..... why this outfit?" asked dad. I look down. "I liked it." I said. "Emm... should be colourful" said dad. I nod and once the soup arrives, we dig in. He pays and go back to his house. "I' going to go home" I said. I walk away and get in my car. I drive home and park. I close the door and go inside. Cara runs to me and hugs me. "Hi, momma" said Cara. "Hi baby" I said. I hug her back and Tom notices I had a frown while I walked in. "Hey bubs, why don't you go play" I said. She nods and walks away. I go to the sofa and sit down. "What's wrong?" asked Tom. "Dad. He hated my outfit cause it wasn't colourful and gave out I let you babysit Cara cause he said you need to be focused" I said. "His uptight" said Tom. I laugh and Tom blushes. "Don't tell him I said that" said Tom. "I won't" I said, laughing. 

We relax and then have dinner. I go get changed. I sit on the sofa and let Cara watch one movie before bedtime. Once she is in bed, I finally can relax. I rub my eyes and Tom looks at me. "How come you never went into acting?" asked Tom. "God no. I never wanted that kind of life for me" I said. "Makes sense" said Tom. I go to bed at 11. 

Today was weird, dad is so up tight it's unreal!

Hope you enjoyed!
