Bechloe - One For My Baby

Chapter XXVIII

Present day...

"There's my beautiful, baby girl..." Randall smiled as Chloe walked into the living room Monday afternoon.

The man enveloped Chloe in a tight hug, kissing her head tenderly.

"Hi, daddy," Chloe responded, trying not to cringe in his embrace.

"I've missed you so much..." Randall gently stroked the small of Chloe's back, eventually slipping his hand onto her backside and rubbing it.

"I've missed you, too, daddy..."

"My beautiful girl..." Randall pulled away and examined his daughter and squinted at her.

"What?"

"There's something different about you..." The man looked at Chloe up and down. "Have you put on weight?"

Chloe swallowed hard. Yes, Chloe had put on weight. Beca and Mark were adamant about getting the redhead to put on weight. Chloe put on a few pounds over the past few months and the girl was thankful that her father hadn't noticed... until now.

"Maybe. I've probably put on muscle from Gym class," Chloe told him.

"Lift up your shirt."

"Daddy,"

"Chloe," he repeated firmly. "Lift up your shirt."

Chloe bit her lip nervously as she lifted up her shirt, exposing her stomach.

"Higher," Randall ordered and Chloe reluctantly obeyed.

Randall examined Chloe's body then took a step forward and placed his hand on her stomach before shifting it up and underneath Chloe's bra. Chloe bit her lip harder, using all of her might to stop herself from crying. Randall hummed and cupped both of Chloe's breasts, kneading them gently.

"My sweet girl..." He purred, leaning down and kissing her neck softly. "I've missed you this weekend. Have you missed me?"

"Y, yes, daddy..." She uttered.

"My girl..." He squeezed Chloe's breasts one last time before releasing them and pulling Chloe's shirt back down. "Beautiful," he smiled. "How was your sleepover?"

"Good."

"That's good. You took your vitamins?"

"Yes," Chloe nodded.

"Good girl. Listen, I've got something to tell you."

"What?"

"I have to go away this weekend for work. We have to build a house in Florida. I'll have to leave Friday and I'll be back on Monday."

That's when Chloe had a lightbulb moment. Her father was going to be away for the entire weekend, meaning that Chloe was able to leave the house without him knowing. This was the perfect opportunity and the redhead had to stop her beaming grin from developing. No more living in this house. No more abuse. No more manipulation. No more lies but instead, freedom - a concept Chloe had only dreamed about. Her life was about to change. She was going to start the next chapter of her life with Beca. It was going to be a big change but it was something Chloe was ready for. She had been ready ever since she told Beca about her father. Now that the time for Chloe to leave was upon her, she felt like crying.

"But you'll be at your friend's place so you won't even know I'm gone," Randall smiled, making Chloe reciprocate.

"I'm sure you'll do a great job in Florida, daddy."

"Thank you, Chlobear. You're always my number one fan. When the payment comes through from this Florida job, we can go shopping and I can buy you whatever you want. How does that sound?"
