I Missed My Daughter

This is based on an idea, from someone who emailed me. I hope you enjoy.

I waited at the Airport, excitedly awaiting the arrival of my daughter, Sophie. She had been away for a year in Europe, taking a gap year off to travel after completing high school and before starting University. I had spoken to her on several occasions, but after a year I really wanted to see her in person, I had missed her so much.

The arrival board had said her flight from London had landed, but still no sign of her. I suddenly spotted a large group of new arrivals, and then I spotted her. She was looking around, carrying just a backpack, my eyes willing her to look at me. When our eyes finally locked, it produced us both to smile excitedly. Without a luggage trolley, she was able to quicken her pace and weave through the people until we were both in each others arms.

"I missed you so much mom." she said.

"Not as much as I missed you, a year is too long." We stood together for a few moments before it got too crowded and I led us outside towards the car. "Where's Claire?"

"She met someone in London, last night. And before we left this morning she told me she wanted to stay a while."

"Barbara will not be happy, does she know?"

"Yes, she said she phoned her mom before she told me."

"Well, it is good to have you back, let's go home. I have cleaned your room, fresh sheets on your bed, so you should be able to have a good night's sleep."

"Thanks mom, I might need a couple of night's good sleep just to get over the jetlag."

We got into the car and I drove us home, it was a 3 hour drive home, and Sophie slept quietly the whole way. We eventually arrived home and I parked in the driveway. Sophie looked so sweet and peaceful as I watched a moment as she slept, but in the end nudged her awake.

"Sophie, honey, we're home."

"Oh, sorry mom, I can't believe I fell asleep. I wanted to keep you company during the drive."

"You did, having you next to me and home, is just what I needed. Plus you need as much rest as you can get, you start university in less than a month."

"I actually feel really good right now, I think that sleep really helped." We went into the house and I suggested Sophie grab a shower and get comfortable, while I'll get lunch started. I made a Chicken Ceaser Salad for us both and was ready about 20 minutes later. Sophie returned, dressed in shorts and a t-shirt, she looked so thin, but her legs and arms were very firm and muscular. We ate and talked, Sophie stating just how much she missed my cooking. Telling me all about the different places she stayed at, and some of the awful meals she had to stomach.

"Did you have a good time though?"

"It was amazing, so much life. Different cultures, food and people. I visited some amazing places, though I think I need to go to University. It got too much towards the end and even though I will be busy at University, at least I will be in one place."

"Well you look ok, though personally you seem a bit thin. But you do seem to have gotten very fit."

"Yes walking for miles every day will do that. I agree though, I do feel too skinny; I need to put a few pounds back on."

"So who was this mystery man that Claire met. And did you meet any interesting men on your travels?"

"Well as you know, one of the reasons Claire and I decided on this trip, was to go somewhere and explore life in a strange new place everyday. But also to have fun, the drinking age is 18 in most places, some were younger. We went to lots of parties and we did meet a few people, but we were very careful and cautious. You hear stories of people going on foreign travels and going missing. So we limited how much time we spent with the opposite sex. But then one night, while we were in a nightclub in Bulgaria, Claire met a woman. Don't tell her mum, but Claire ended up spending the night with Petia. Afterwards Claire thought it might be safer and fun to spend the night with women sometimes. We searched the internet and discovered about safe sex between women. A visit to a chemist and we were set up with some female condoms. And in London, Claire met a woman, she told me that she really felt close to Rachel, so wanted to explore a few more weeks with just one woman to see if it might be something she is more inclined to do."

"So did you have sex with woman too?"

"Yes, does that shock you?"

"No, I just wondered. I have been with women before, does that shock you." It did as she just stared at me.

"So was this before you married dad?"

"Yes, and I have been with women since. I have never been with another man since your father. I do enjoy being with your father, but I also know that I do prefer sex with women and sometimes I need to experience that a few times through the year. How was it for you?"

"I can't believe you cheat on dad with women, does he know?"

"I don't know, he has never said anything and I have been very discreet."

"But what about dad, cheating on him is not a nice thing to do, I know when I meet someone I would never cheat." I did not feel she was judging me, just making a statement about her own feelings. It was nice to finally have this discussion with Sophie and it was time she learnt a few truths.

"You are old enough to know how things really are at home between your father and I. Firstly, we do love each other; this is not a sham marriage or anything. But when we married, after about a year, just after you were born, I was very uncomfortable having sex again for a while. So one day your father just came home and asked if he could have sex with another woman, he needed relief and I was not going to give him any. So I said yes. A few weeks later, I wanted to have sex too, it was just not going to happen with your father, so I went out one night with the girls and spent the night with a woman named Monica. It was so good to be with a woman again. Monica and I had sex together for about a year, and that was all it was, just sex. Since then your father and I have been together sexually, but sometimes we both need something more and we secretly find someone else to have sex with. Like right now, even though your father wants to be here to see you back home, he does have an important conference to attend, but he may also find someone to have sex with."

"I can't believe what you are telling me. I was so proud of you both as most of my friends parents are divorced and that my family was so strong and happy. Now I find that you both are cheating on each other, I did not realise you were both unhappy being together."

"Please understand we are not unhappy. When we have sex with someone else, that is just what it is, sex. In my case, as I think your dad would agree, it is just our way of keeping the marriage together. Sex with the same person for me, just gets boring, so only when I need a little excitement do I search for another woman. I probably have sex about 6 times a year with another woman, and it very rarely happens twice with the same woman."

"So you and dad are not going to divorce or anything?"

"No honey, we love each other very much, he is my best friend. Believe me, if anything was going to happen, we would tell you. I think that neither of us has told you any of this because of how you might react. Please try not to feel bad about any of this; it is just something we do to stay happy. We are both sexual people, and I am sure you will experience the same when you go to University. Am I wrong?"

"I have been with women and it was fun. I have been planning on experimenting with more women when I go to University. Though eventually I will settle down with a man, but will wait till I meet the right person. I need to go to bed now, thanks for dinner, goodnight." And with that she kissed me on the cheek and left to go to bed. While I cleaned the kitchen I thought about what I had told Sophie and how she reacted. When she left she did seem distant towards me, maybe it was a bad decision to tell her. But it was good to tell her something more personal about myself and hoped we would have a closer and more honest relationship. It was about 2pm and decided to chill out in front of the TV and hope when Sophie woke up she would feel better.

It was about 6pm when Sophie finally made an appearance, she was still dressed as before accept now she had bed head. She seemed so cute and smiled when our eyes met.

"Sorry about leaving earlier mom. I do understand what you told me, and I do not think any less of you or dad. I just think it was a shock."

"I completely understand Sophie, I was a little afraid I might have done the wrong thing by telling you about the more personal aspects of our marriage. But a part of me feels better for telling you."

"I am glad you could be so honest with me." she said as she sat next to me on the couch.

"I am happy you had fun on your holiday and that you are safely back at home. I did miss you so much and worried everyday whether I would see you again. So what do you want to do now?" I asked.

"Well I feel wide awake and want to do something special, just the two of us. Maybe we could go out for the night, it is Saturday and it would be nice to go out like we used to." Even though Sophie is underage to drink, she looked old and mature enough to go out, and was responsible. This was one of the reasons I trusted her enough to allow her to go abroad. But before she went we did start to go out a few nights a month together, thankfully being with me helped her get into most places without the need for ID. I felt we bonded more when we went out together. It was fun to just chat and check out guys. But now that she knew I liked women and that Sophie was not completely strange to the concept, maybe we could do something more interesting.

"I did miss our nights out together. How about we go somewhere for dinner first, celebrate your return home? Then if you fancy it, may I suggest that we go to this Gay bar I know, we could dance and check out women together, it might be fun?"

"Going to a Gay bar with my mom, sounds interesting, at least we could dance together without all those men getting the wrong idea about us. And dinner sounds good too, maybe something that serves proper American food, I have missed good local greasy food."

"Pizza?"

"Perfect, give me 30 minutes to get ready." I followed Sophie upstairs and got ready in my room. I had a shower and dressed in some smart jeans and a t-shirt. The nights had been very warm lately. I was finished before Sophie and waited downstairs for her. When she finally came downstairs, my mouth hit the floor, she was stunning. She wore jeans like mine, but they were very tight and she also wore a tight t-shirt. She was not wearing a bra and had her hair up, with only a few touches of makeup. My own hair was tied back.

"You look amazing Sophie, but everything seems a bit tight. And here I thought you had lost weight?"

"I have, these are the only things that would fit me comfortably. These are my clothes from when I was 15. So I look alright then?"

"Alright, yes indeed, very beautiful. Play your cards right, you will defiantly get some action tonight."

"Mom! Tonight is just for us, no one else is allowed in. And I must say you don't look pretty fantastic too. If anybody gets any action it will be you."

"Sophie!" I teased. "Well let's go and have fun, at least tonight, if anyone asks who you are, I can say you're my hot young date." Sophie laughed, seeing the funny side of what might happen tonight. We had in the past got rid of men before by saying we were lesbians on a date, Sophie's idea.

We got the bus into town and headed to Pizza Heaven, for some proper American food. We were both very relaxed and even discussed some of the women we had been with. We left and I took Sophie to a place only a few blocks away. Top Cats was a place that opened about 8 years ago, and has been a very popular place, and has allowed me to easily find me some pussy for the nights I needed it. Just as we entered Sophie took my hand in hers, intertwining our fingers. We agreed that if we seemed like a couple, it would help her get in. And it did.

The moment we entered, their were a lot of eyes on us, some I even knew. Just to add to the charade, Sophie kissed me on the cheek and offered to get the first drinks in. I found us a table in the corner, close to the dance floor and music. Sophie joined me a few minutes later with a drink for each of us.

"Seems like a nice place, have you been here a lot mom."

"Yes I have, but it might be fun tonight if you call me Amy?"

"Ok amy, so do you want to dance?"

"That would be lovely." Sophie took my hand and we joined the slowly filling dance floor. The songs were fast and we got a few good songs in, dancing not close together, but close enough to hear each other sing to the songs that were playing. We returned to our seats to continue our drinks and talk more.

"Amy, don't you worry anybody will know who I am?"

"No, in all the women I have been with, only Monica has ever been to our home, all the rest were either in hotels or their place. It is nice you are here with me tonight. With the exception of Monica, nobody really knows me like you do, especially now that you know I like women and about my extra-marital sex life. I know it might seem like I am gloating the fact, but I really am not. I try very hard to remain faithful for as long as possible, but believe me, it can be difficult. It is just nice to be able to talk to somebody about it." Sophie leaned closer towards me so she could talk discreetly.

"Mom, I will always be available to talk, even when I go to University I will only be a phone call away. Maybe when you feel the need to wander, you could come spend a weekend with me. You can at least have your privacy to explore your need for a good woman, so it does not get back to dad. I am sure there are plenty of gay bars around campus, maybe even some students might be interested."

"Thank you honey for your loving support and understanding, I really have missed you so much." A few tears left my eyes as I pulled Sophie into a hug. I missed being able to talk to someone about my feelings, and that my own daughter accepted my choices, helped me to deal with the guilt I sometimes felt. During the hug I could feel Sophie's breasts against mine, it felt wonderful. It did not feel sexual, but I did enjoy the closeness I had missed with Sophie.

"Anytime Amy. Plus I haven't been with anybody since Germany, which was about a month ago. It was a woman and I do miss being with a woman."

"Well if anybody interests you tonight you are free to take them home if you want."

"Tonight, it is only you that interests me." If it was just the way she said it, that made me think she was talking in sexual terms, the smile and gleam in her eye sure made it seem that it was defiantly sexual interest towards me. I just smiled, but felt nervous. Was my daughter flirting with me? Just then Sophie got a tap on the shoulder and an invitation to dance. Sophie looked at me and I nodded. I knew who she was and if anybody could distract Sophie it would be her, I felt slightly uncomfortable with Sophie at the moment.

I watched Sophie dance, seeing the way Sally was touching her, and at first my maternal instincts kicked in, wanting to protect her. But then I realised I was jealous. I did not know what to do, and then suddenly I got my own distraction.

"Hi Amy."

"Hi Teri, how are you?"

"Very well thank you. I see Sally managed to get her hands on your date. I am amazed you let her dance with Sally, you know how she is."

"Sophie can look after herself. Sally just might get disappointed tonight."

"I must say that this is the first time you have brought someone here. It must be serious, in all the time I have known you, you have always come alone."

"Sophie is very special to me. How about you, anybody special at the moment?"

"Only you. I feel a bit put out to tell you the truth. You said you never dated, and here you are with someone special. Sally said that she would like to play with your date, giving me the chance to get you." Teri could be a bitch and had managed to steal a couple of my dates in the past. She said if she could not have me more than once, she would stop me from doing it to others. I knew she was jealous, even though before we had sex we agreed it would only be a one time thing. She told me afterwards that she wanted more. This was about 3 years ago, and she still had strong feelings for me. Though I just thought she hated the fact that she could not have her way with me again.

Teri approached me and tried to kiss me. I tried very hard to push her away and was struggling. Suddenly Teri got off me then I saw her on her back with a very angry Sophie stood over her, shouting and pointing in her face. I looked up and saw Sally stood alone on the dance floor, she seemed pretty angry she had failed to get Sophie. This made me very happy and proud of Sophie. But Teri seemed a bit pissed off and I needed to help Sophie. So I got up and took Sophie's hand and dragged her onto the dance floor. I nudged sally with my shoulder as I walked passed her.

"Oh I am sorry Sally. But it seems Teri needs your help again." But before she stormed off, I got my own two cents in with the conniving couple. "And Sally, if you ever go near or touch my Sophie again like that, you had better think twice, because I will fuck you up you bitch." She yanked her arm away and walked away. She helped Teri, before they both left together.

"Friends off yours?" Sophie asked as we dance and held each other close.

"Not really, though I have slept with them both. Sally, the one you danced with was trying to get you away from me, while Teri tried to get what she wanted."

"Well you did seem to be struggling; I hope you are ok that I came to help."

"I was, I really did appreciate your help. It felt nice to have someone care about me enough to do that for me."

"I do care Amy; it pissed me off a bit to see her force herself on you."

"Pissed off, I thought you looked ready to rip her throat out."

"I almost did, but tonight is our special night."

"How special?"

"Special enough to not let Sally get what she practically begged me for."

"Weren't you interested at all?"

"No way, I know what I like, and it is not the predatory type. I am like you; I just want someone nice, up for fun, without it being another notch on the bedpost."

"Thank you for coming to my rescue Sophie." She smiled and gave me a quick kiss on the lips. We spent the rest of the night drinking and dancing without any further incidents. The more I danced with Sophie and the more we drank, the closer we got. She was a good dancer, and seemed a different person to what she was before she went to Europe. When she almost hit Teri, I saw a different side to Sophie. Not scary, just more outspoken and unafraid. She was quite shy before and when we went out she stuck to me like glue, not allowing anybody to get close. To be honest I would not have let anybody get near her anyway.

When she left, she was a like a baby bird. She needed to spread her wings and finally leave the nest to explore life. I felt the experience she would have in Europe would allow her to finally find the courage to survive and become an adult. It would surely prepare her for University life, and allow her to be more headstrong and confident. When she returned I immediately noticed a difference, she had returned a fully confident, caring, beautiful woman. I was happy that she had returned home safely, but ecstatic she had truly gained the wisdom and experience she got from travelling alone and without her parents for guidance. She was truly ready for life and what lie ahead.

As the night progressed, I found myself more and more relaxed in the arms of Sophie. Our dancing became more and more provocative and it was this that kept other woman away. During the end I realised I had become very attracted to Sophie, and very wet. It made me nervous a little and decided it was time to leave. Sophie seemed ok with this and soon we got a cab and returned home.
