Charlie surprised me by being observant. "In a hurry?"
"Yeah, I'm tired. I can't wait to go to my bed."
"You look kinda keyed up," he noted. I had no idea what he meant, but why, oh why, did this have to be his night to pay attention?
"Do I?" was all I could manage in response. I quickly scrubbed my dishes clean in the sink and placed them upside-down on a blue dish towel to air-dry.
"It's Saturday," he mused.
"Is it?"
"No plans tonight?" he asked.
"No, Dad, I just want to get some sleep."
"None of the boys in town your type, eh?" If he was suspicious that I was having underage sex with a vampire, he was playing it cool.
"Dad. There isn't a single boy in this town with a dick big enough for me." I was careful not to over-emphasize the word boy in my quest to be truthful with Charlie.
"I thought that maybe Mikey Newton's... you said he was horsey."
"He's just a friend, Dad." I thought about it, then added, "Besides, I'm pretty sure he doesn't even have one."
"Well, maybe you're right about that... but wait 'til you get to college. They... you know, they keep... growing." Every father's dream, that his daughter will be strong enough to wait for someone big enough for her. Parents always want their kids to have what they never had.
"Sounds like a good idea to me," I had to agree as I headed up the stairs.
"Night, honey. Nice chat," he called after me.
"See you in the morning, Dad."
