My Christmas Romance

Chapter 4: Beginning of Something New

"Daddy i am going to be late hurry" Annabel was shouting from outside while I was trying to load her back pack with stuff she would need at school.

"Hey baby, just a minute" I looked at her humping and jumping outside, trying to practice her moves.

"You know I got that dance class today" she said.

That has become her favorite part of the day. She looks so good when she is happy and only one person was creeping into her life and making her that way. Well not just her, she is also creeping into my heart. I can't get my mind off Claire. I haven't seen her since that day when she walked into the school building. She looked so beautiful.

I had just dropped of Annabel and was looking for her when I saw her. She was wearing a skirt that hugged her body so well and the shirt she was wearing was low cut and showed a good amount of cleavage. The colour of her clothes brought out those brightness in her eyes. Those eyes that pierce my soul by just looking at it. I could see myself licking and kissing her body, and my body couldn't stop reacting to what it would feel like seeing what was beneath those clothes. I was hard already in a public place. I haven't had this feeling since the death of my wife....Yes, my wife, that night, the feeling. I drew a sharp breath and fought back the anger and pain I feel. The same pain I felt, when Claire rejected me. That feeling of rejection coming back all again. I am a changed person and I am becoming better for my daughter.

"Annabel, let's go . I am ready"

She jumped inside the car "finally daddy. I thought you were never going to finish"

I smiled at the one thing that I am thankful to God for , for giving me. I love my daughter so much and everything I do is for her to be happy and have a normal dad like everyone else.

"Daddy would you like to see me dance today" My daughter looked at me eagerly, like she didn't want me to disappoint her.

"Yes, darling. I would love to watch you dance"

"Yayyy, thank you daddy. Miss Claire said that I am very talented. And I am taking a lead role in my class" She jumps excitedly

"Really. That's nice darling. Miss Claire is really amazing"

"Yes daddy, I like her"

Yeah, I like her too, so much actually.

I dropped Annabel to her dance class where there were other kids dancing and playing.

" Okay darling. Here we are"

She looked at me waiting for me to say something.

" Don't worry baby. I promise to stay and watch you dance." She smiled and ran away.

I looked at my daughter and laughed...

"Hey Mr Adams.... I can see you are a charm to your daughter." I turned around and saw her. She's doing that thing she always does when she's around, make me speechless.

"Hi Claire, I hope you don't mind. Annabel insists I stay and watch her dance"

"Your daughter is really a princess. She is amazing at dancing and I would love to think that comes from you but nahhhh. I bet you can't dance." She smiles

"Really. Why don't you let me prove you wrong. Let me take you to a dance" I said to her hoping she agrees.

She looks at me like she's up to something. " I have a better idea. How about you dance for us." Before I could object, She dragged me to the front of the class.

"Hey class, we have a parent volunteering to dance for us. What do you guys think?"

"Yes,yes,yes," the while class yelled.

"So Mr Adams. The floor is yours. Show me what you gat" she definitely personalised the last part of what she said. She's doing this for her own pleasure. God, that is so sexy. But if I am going to the ground I would love to pull someone along with me. I walked to her and held her hands. " would you love to dance with me" she hesitated for a second and then gave me her hands.

She played a song and I held her waist and start moving to the beat. God!! She is beautiful.

It's like I am in heaven right now. I could see her eyes clearer now , her nose, her mouth, those lips, so small and cute .Every detail on her face is so beautiful. I feel myself getting hard. I tried to shift back a bit so she doesn't notice but it's almost like she knew what she was doing. She held me tighter

" where are you going William "

Why does she have to say my name like that. I became more harder. I couldn't hide it and before I could do anything, she stopped abruptly and turned of the music giving me a decent amount of space.

"Thank you , Mr Adams. Its been a pleasure dancing with you" she refused to meet my eyes. Busted , she knows and now I have some explanation to do.. I moved to the end of the class to wait for Annabel's dance.

I watch my daughter dance and it brings so much joy to be. She is so beautiful and looks just like her mother. But watching Claire dance is something else. There's a tiny feeling it brings to me. It makes my heart beat twice as fast and it makes my crotch jump every second.

She is so perfect, the way she twists and does every step. How can someone be so perfect?

I watch how she applauds my daughter and teaches her some steps. She would be a very perfect mother to my child. Yeah, did I just go there.

Ring ring.......

Why is Sarah calling me.

"Hey Sarah"

"Willie, where are you?"

"I am in Annabel's school, I would be on my way soon"

"We are about to have a board meeting and you ain't here"

"Please can you cover up for me, I would really appreciate it Sarah"

"You are definitely taking me out for lunch. That's how you get to thank a lady"

"Lunch it is then" I sighed as I ended the call.

The moment I was done , the dance class was over and Annabel was walking towards me.

"How did I do daddy?"

"You did amazing darling. I am proud of you."

"Thank you daddy. I need to rush to my other class. I am writing a test today"

"Okay my love. Break a leg today dear" I hugged her and let her go to her class

"That's really sweet, you know" Claire said walking towards me.

"What is?" Not sure what she was talking about

"You and your daughter. Its amazing how you are there for her always" she smiled

"I have to. She's the only good thing I have in my life right now." She looks at me like she was trying to know what I was talking about.

"Hey Claire, alot has happened in our lives and I am really grateful that you make her happy. I haven't seen my daughter laugh in a long while. This really means alot to me."

Did I just sound pathetic.. "I am sorry, I am not trying to sound pitiful." I said hoping she would understand.

"It's okay, I understand."

She hesitated. It felt like she was deciding if she should say something. I guess she finally made the decision when she opened her mouth to speak

"I know this may sound weird, we all go through alot at some point in life and Annabel is a good kid. I don't know what it is you are going through but you know they say it's easier to talk to a stranger than a friend. If at any time you feel like talking. You can come to me, I would love to help even with my shitty advices. I know I don't give the best advices but ..you know what I mean right?" She laughs.

"Are you asking me out on a date?" Jeez.... I was trying to be funny but that didn't come out so well with the look on her face.

"Ow ....I... urmm..." she was rambling for words.

"Hey, that was a joke. I am sorry." I smiled

"Thanks for the offer Claire and I am not saying no. I would just like to make it sooner"

I looked at her waiting if she was going to say anything, but she was still trying to wrap her head around what I was saying.

I cleared my throat and went for it " Can I take you on a date tonight?"

"What?"

"Ow I am sorry. I didn't mean to be pushy". Why am I not saying anything that makes sense today.

"Yes, that sounds amazing". What!!! Did she just agree

"Really!! I mean.. urmm.. yeah... its a date then. I would see you at 7." I was too happy to think about anything that I forgot I actually don't know where she stays and she was leaving already..

"Claire." I waited for her to turn back.

"I am sorry, I don't have your address. "

"I can give that to you". she said. Before she she say anything, I was already talking without thinking again.

"How about I drop you off at your house so I can know where you live". I sound like a stalker. She waited like she was thinking about what I said.

"Okay. That sounds great". She said and walked out.

I sound crazy. But that was a good crazy start.

"Hey Willie" That's Sarah. She's the only one that calls me Willie apart from my wife.

"You are late and you owe me lunch". She rested her hands on my shoulder. She's so free and sometimes I wonder if she likes me because of how she keeps acting towards me. She's beautiful though, but not the type of chick I'd fall for.

"You did cover up for me right?" I asked her even though I know she did.

"I know you ain't asking because you don't know the answer to that. Where were you though?"

"I had to stay to watch Annabel. She insisted I be with her and I couldn't refuse"

"Awww that's so sweet. But you know you have to work too."

Of course she doesn't know one hint of being a parent.

"Not like I don't care but you are the only one providing her needs for her and you can't keep taking excuses all the time." Almost like she could read my mind.

"Except there's something else you are keeping aside" she looks at me questionably.

"No Sarah, there isn't and thanks for covering up for me."

"I don't care as long as you get to buy me lunch"

She said and walked away, swinging her hips at me.

She's right though, Annabel isn't just the one making me stay at her school. There is another thing I am definitely keeping from her. Some thing that I can't wait to get my hands on.
