Impatiently, I check my watch.Just under six hours until midnight.
Once I hear the water running, I go into the kitchen and start dinner.After dinner we talk and then head to my room, lying in bed, watching TV.In the first thirty minutes, she drifted off, but I can't sleep.
Watching the clock, I keep counting down the hours and barely see what is on TV.Finally, the clock took pity on me.
12:08 a.m.in the morning.
I did it.My sweet girl is now eighteen.Gently, I push the hair that has fallen in front of her face away and run the back of my hand down her cheek.She starts to stir and I know I should pull back and let her sleep, but I can't seem to stop touching her.
When her eyes open and lock with mine, she smiles up at me.
"Happy birthday, sweetheart," I tell her as I stroke her arm, watching the slight blush coat her cheeks.
"I'm eighteen so you can help me with this virginity thing now," she sounds relieved.
"Oh, I plan to sweetheart, but I won't do it now.I want the moment to be special and I have a feeling you haven't even been touch by a man, have you?"
When she shakes her head no, it confirms my belief.My hand is still lightly running up and down her arm.This time when I reach her shoulder, I trail it over her chest to find out she doesn't have a bra on.
Tracing over one nipple, then the other before I gently run my hand over her stomach to the cloth shorts she is wearing.
Then I run my hand over her core and her clit, and I can feel how wet those cotton shorts are.She gasps in my ear, letting me know she is turned on and sensitive.
"Tell me to stop, sweetheart.If you don't want this, tell me to stop at any point.You are in complete control."
"Don't stop," she whispers breathlessly.
When I rub her clit again, only slightly harder this time, to my amazement she comes from just that contact.She turns her head into my shoulder and cries out as I do my best to prolong her orgasm.
She's been on the edge just like me and knowing that make me happy.I've barely touched her, and I can't wait for more.
"Get some rest, sweetheart."I pull her into me as she relaxes.
"That's it?"she asks as she looks up at me.
"For now.I need you to know that I want you, not sex, you.So we will take our time and build a foundation that will last.Now get some sleep."
Chapter 7
Harper
Onceagain,Iwakeup and find myself alone in bed.This time I can smell the coffee, the scent of bacon, and breakfast from the kitchen.Tempting me to get up, I shake off the covers and get dressed.Then, coming around the corner and stepping into the kitchen, the sight that greets my eyes makes me smile.
The table is set with all sorts of bright colors.There's a Mason jar filled with flowers that looked like they were picked from the front yard, an envelope the size of a card with my name on it next to my plate, and two balloons tied to the back of my chair.
"Good morning!Breakfast is just about done," Nate says as he messes with a pan on the stove."Sit down, and have some orange juice."
Sitting on the chair with the balloons that he nods to, I find a glass of orange juice next to my plate and a cup of coffee next to his.He may have been trying to ignore me yesterday, but he still paid attention to the fact that I don't drink coffee.
As I sit down, he reaches over and takes my plate and starts filling it with food.I barely get a sip of orange juice and set my cup back on the table when he sliding my plate in front of me again and kissing the top of my head.
"Happy birthday, sweetheart.Eat up," he says with a huge smile on his face.Then he takes his plate to fill it up as well.
It almost looks like he cooked everything that he has in the kitchen.There's a small omelet, buttered toast, bacon, sausage, two small pancakes, and a slice of French toast.
"There is no way I'm going to be able to eat all this and I will be shocked if you're able to."
"Well, I didn't know what you liked so I wanted to make sure I had all the bases covered.You eat whatever you want.Don't worry about me, because trust me I'll eat," he says, sitting down in his seat across from me.
