How could something that feels so right be so wrong?
My Dad’s best friend.
I mean.Idon’t think it’s wrong, but I don’t know if he feels the same way.
I guess I should start at the beginning….
Before graduation, I thought the funny feelings I got whenever I thought about my Dad’s bestie were just a crush.
Innocent enough and no surprise if you’ve ever seen Brandon.
The man’s a god.
But what I think I hear him tell me the day I graduate shocks me to the core. And my little crush turns into a maddening obsession as I begin to wonder.
Did hereallysay what I think he said as he hugged me in congratulations?
Six months later, and today will be the first time he lays eyes on me since that day. And I just know I didn’t imagine things.
At least, I hope I didn’t.
He’s gonna be coming to town, staying for a bit. I can’t wait, and neither can my Dad.
But both of us want to see Brandon, but for very different reasons.
I mean, acrushon my Dad’s best friend is one thing. But actually, falling for him?
It’s okay, I tell myself.
It’ll only be for a day or two. It’s not like the guy’s moving next door or anything.
Right?
Brandon
Steve’s only daughter graduated from college. My god, how time flies.
I used to bounce her on my knee, but with my growing security business, I moved away from the sleepy little town we both grew up in.
I only saw him and his daughter whenever I wasn’t working, which wasn’t very often, and when we did catch up, May usually stayed with friends.
So when I make a point of being there for her college graduation, for Steve’s and May’s sake, I have to pick my jaw up off the floor.
Little May’s all grown up now.
And that dress she wears under her gown shows me that she’s not a kid anymore.
It’s like she’s a totally different person.
An adult, even though she is half my age.
But Jesus. That figure and that dress.
And when it’s my turn to give her a congratulatory hug.
I can’t help myself.
