An Unexpected Reunion Between Father and Daughter (Closed for zydrate)

[kittenofdeath]

It was the same sun, nothing different about it, Julian had felt its touch on his skin earlier that day, and yet in the few hours since then it had taken on such a new meaning. No one was letting him be outside, the feel of the sun on his skin wasn't a gift from some harsh overseer who decided he had been a good little boy as of late, this was his sun now, he had a right to see it, he was entitled to it and no one but the moon could take it away. He took a deep breath and soaked it in “nothin like fresh air.”

“Ain't that special convict” someone behind him said, prompting Julian to turn, seeing the prison guard in his usual pompous stance, like he was looking at some kind of lesser creature rather than another human being. But somehow Julian couldn't bring himself to scowl back at him like he usually would, throwing obscene gestures as soon as he wasn't looking, Julian just kept smiling. “I know you boys ain't exactly fresh in there but its still the same air out here.”

Julian laughed, he couldn't help it “buddy” he took in another deep breath and let out a sigh of content “I could give you a mile long line of coke and it wouldn't be as good as the air out here.” The conversation was broken by the sound of a car in the distance, or to be more precise the sound of a cars stereo system in the distance “anyway, I'm out, I's say try not to get fat sitting on your ass but its a bit late for that warning.” After that insult Julian turned to leave, taking in his last look of the prison and the dusty nothingness that surrounded it as he walked out of the prison grounds, ignoring the guards shouted comments about he'd just be right back here before long.

The thumping tunes in the distance steadily grew louder, a tricked out, two tone black and white car with gold plated rims pulling up in front of Julian, the music thankfully being turned down as Julian leaned in to talk through the opening window. “Yo Jay, hope you didn't drop the soap in there” the driver, a late twenties looking guy with messy brown hair held out his hand to Julian, which Julian quickly slapped with his own, grabbing it with a firm grip.

“Dave? Holy shit kid, you were in like, third grade or something last time I saw your ass, now look at you, flash car, loud music, probably enough drugs to kill a sailor and...” he turned his head, looking at the young girl in the backseat, passed out, pale and dressed in club going gear that looked positively outlandish to Julian “a girlfriend?” Dave laughed at the idea, the girl didn't seem to respond at all.

“Shit man, I don't even remember her name, hooked up with her last night, figured I'd bring her along in case you got the itch, know what I mean” Julian looked at her again, sure, from an objective standpoint she was attractive, she looked fit and her features were nice, but damn, she looked half dead, and probably didn't have a shower since she 'hooked up' with young dave here. All he could think of was how she looked about his daughters age, not that he had ever seen his daughter, the closest he had gotten was a picture of her on her tenth birthday. The only thing he wanted to do with this girl was get some food and water in her then send her the hell home. “Come on, get in, lets get the fuck out of here.”

Julian shrugged it off and got in the car, the urge to be a responsible adult overridden by the need to put some distance between him and the prison, and as he did get further away he could feel the tension starting to drain from him. “Oh, I almost forgot, check the glove compartment” Julian raised an eyebrow at Daves suggestion, but played along, finding exactly what he expected in there, his guess that Julian had more than enough drugs was very accurate, but on top of the various substances was an envelope, clearly not Daves. He took it out and found it to be addressed to him, within was a key, a bank card with his name on it and a letter.

'Dear Brother

Apologies for not being there to pick you up in person, but I have many more pressing matters to attend to, I hope you can forgive me for inflicting cousin Dave on you, he is a miserable little shit but he follows orders. Enclosed is a bank card that will supply you with what you need, the family will take care of your costs. The key is to your old beach house, I know you were told you lost it in the divorce but I am a very good lawyer, and a few of your assets remain in your name despite what your ex wife thinks.

I will see you soon with some minor paperwork to sign, otherwise enjoy your freedom, you have earned it.

Nathan.

Message dictated but not read'

Julian smiled, by Nathans standards that was downright emotional “Alright, new plan, we're heading for the coast, but first its time for lunch, I'm starving for something that doesn't come on a plastic tray and your friend back there could probably do with some water.”

“What? Nah man shes fine, see watch” Dave turned his head and shouted “Hey babe, want some MDMA?” The girl in the back instantly perked up, called by the promise of something to muddle her mind, moving forward and leaning in to search for what she craves. “Ohh, who are you” she spoke, slurring her words some as she snaked her hand over on to Julians chest “you work out.”

“Are you not wearing a seat belt? Damn girl sit back down and put on your seat belt.” She ignored him, instead leaning forward even further and grasping for the glove compartment, either because she knew where Dave kept his gear or because she was some kind of drug targeting hunting hound and just smelt them out. Being ignored was never a thing Julian took lightly. He grabbed her by the wrist, he wasn't trying to hurt her, but like she said, he worked out, so even a firm grip from him was more than enough to make her snap to attention “I said, Sit Down, and put on your seat belt.” His voice was calm as he spoke, but it was very much so the words of someone who was not making a suggestion.

“Oh, Ok” she said timidly, sitting back in to her seat and buckling up safely, even sitting up straight like she was back in school and just got scolded by the teacher.

“Now step on it, I'm hungry.”

*************************
Six months later
*************************

Still the same sun, still as nice, every now and again Julian found himself thinking of the sun ever since he got out, and living at the beach there was a lot to remind him of it, and now as he was coming back in from a swim he was definitely thinking about it. He made his way though his house, now feeling much more like a home, and showered to work the sea water out of his hair, reflecting on the past few months.

His brother had come around like promised, with a bunch of paperwork to sign some things back in to his name, this beach house being one of them, Julian didn't ask how he managed it but Nathan defiantly looked smug as he mentioned it, so however he kept the property without Julians ex knowing was probably quite a trick.

Apart from that though, Julian had done pretty much nothing, keep up with his training regime, swam a lot, drank... That's about it. He had gone out a few times, but unfortunately the area around his place was apparently where all the cool kids hung out, and Julian being a thirty nine year old who spent a significant portion of those years behind bars, he found the new trends strange and confusing, so making friends, let alone meeting women, hadn't been going so great.

He sighed as he stepped out of the shower, drying off some and wrapping a towel around his waist before making his way to the bar built in to the second lounge room, pouring himself a generous helping of whiskey. He was about to take a seat and, well do nothing to be honest, but regardless his plans to do nothing we're quickly put on hold as he heard the front door opening, the sounds of a few young punks starting to fill the house. “Left the door unlocked again, fucking kids” he needed a car, kids kept trying to break in because they thought no one was home, if there was a car that wouldn't be a problem “alright” he took a swig of his drink and started off towards the front of the house “lets take care of this” hopefully they wont try to hit him or something stupid like that, there's not much sport in putting down a punk who doesn't know how to fight back.

Madison Sinclair knew this was her time. She was 18 now and finally done with high school. This trip had been planned for the past six months! Just her a group of her friends were going to take off and have fun! No more all girls boarding school, no more rules having to be followed. Yeah, she deserved this before going off to college next year…

If she decided to go, that is.

Maddie had a family reputation to uphold…by why? She had been accepted to Columbia University… it wasn’t that she was stupid, far from it. Maddie held a 4.0 practically her whole life. No, it was just she wanted to be on her own. Make her own decisions. She was tired of being perfect for the family.

So, after the graduation party, where she was given a brand-new Shelby GT500, all thanks to her step-father, Maddie loaded up some clothes and headed out of town. She told her mother she was going to spend a few weeks with some friends on the coast…some of it was true. She was going to spend it on the coast but by herself. Her friends had followed but were only going to stay for the night before they left for their own vacation homes.

Where Maddie was going to spend a few weeks on her own was a house that was near a beach. Apparently, her family owned a beach house that they never told Maddie about nor had they ever visited. She figured it was just one of the family estates that were forgotten about… luckily for her, she was able to acquire a set of keys for the place and now here she was.

Her friends had been partying heavily the night before and were still in the mood to do so. Maddie hadn’t even opened the door all the way when they burst in and made themselves at home.

For her part, Maddie was still in the entry way, looking around with a puzzled look on her face. Something didn’t seem right…”Hey guys…I think someone has been staying here..”

Sure enough, someone appeared… a man, wearing only a towel on his well-formed body made Maddie do a double-take. He was extremely attractive…except for the scowl on his face. Before he could speak, Madison spoke up, “Excuse me…who are you and what are you doing in my family’s home?” She said, in a demanding tone. She pulled out her cellphone and held it up as if threatening him, “You better tell me or else I’ll call the cops on you for trespassing!”

 

[kittenofdeath]

Ok, this was weird, trespassing kids, that wasn't new to Julian, normally you just make it known that you exist and they crap their pants in terror, hell half the time they plead that you don't call their parents instead of asking you not to call the cops. But trespassing kids with suitcases and luggage who were acting like they were arriving at their hotel? That was a new one.

And then a leader came to the front of the pack, a stunning young thing who looked about the age his daughter would have been, and to be truthful Julian wouldn't have had any complaints with her calling him daddy. In fact it was taking a notable effort of willpower and positioning to stop the growing semi from being too blatant under the thin towel that was the extent of his current modesty. Ignoring the attraction, she kinda looked familiar, in a weird sort of way...

She reminded him of his ex wife, not just the way she looked, the way she carried herself, Julian could have snapped her in half by the time she was half way though dialing nine one one, yet here she was. If only he could check to she if she was as good in bed as his ex, that would be a treat, Julian may have been a shitty husband in a lot of ways, but he had never once needed to cheat with her to come home to.

“Your family home?” He scoffed “girl I don't know how you got a set of keys to my home, but I own this place, It's mine and its been in my family for about 25 years now.” He took another swig from his drink and let that sink in “now, unless you and your friends brought a bunch of booze and are here to party, you can turn your tight little but around and march it right the hell out.”

 

[zydrate]

Not many people stood up to Maddie when she was this demanding. It was her way of getting what she wanted and to have someone like this man, tell her no!

She shut her phone off and let her hand fall to her side as she looked at the man, "Who are you?"

Before he could answer, her friends had started up the music, connecting their iPod to the stereo system. They didn't waste time as they opened some coolers and started to pass some beer around and then add some fine liquor to the already stocked bar near the living room. They didn't seem to see the discussion going on with Maddie and the man who claimed that this was his home.

Without any thought, Maddie grabbed the man's hand and pulled him with her to the nearest empty room, which was unfortunately a bedroom. She closed the door as he stepped further in, "Alright, who are you and what do you mean you own this place?! I found the keys to this place in my step-father's study and there was no mention of anyone owning it. I want answers now!" She demanded, crossing her arms in front of her, not one bit wary that this guy in front of her had easily a foot on her and about 100 pounds. No, she was pulling her spoiled little rich girl attitude that she didn't pull too often...

The ruffians took him up on his offer, setting in to the house and starting up the party, alternately they ignored him entirely, either way this was a very strange home invasion for Julian, and he had been involved in quite a few in his time, so he was somewhat of an expert. Before Julian could turn his attention back to the mystery girl in front of him, she took it for herself, grabbing him by the hand and dragging him away, not that Julian couldn't have stopped her, but when a girl that attractive drags a man the man follows whether he wants to or not, and when the girl drags a man in to a bedroom, well that's even better. On the down side, or a different kind of upside, Julian had been having casual lecherous thoughts up until now, so stopping himself from getting to noticeable downstairs wasn't that hard, but being dragged in to a bedroom was making those thoughts a little lewder, and consequently his efforts to keep the semi erection he was sporting from showing though his towel were becoming increasingly less effective.

“I'm Julian, pleasure to meet you, I own this house, got a deed and everything” he replied, sounding more than a little sarcastic when he said it was a pleasure “as for your stepdad having a key to this place, I have no idea how that happened, because the only two people I know of that would have a key would be my brother Nathan, whom I know for a fact doesn't have step kids, and my ex wife, who either isn't your stepfather, or went through some serious life changes that I never heard about.”

“Now then” Julian stepped forward, Maddie may have been stubbornly ignoring the obvious difference of stature between them, but Julian felt that it was time to break her from that little trend “I've been nice and shown you mine, time for you to show me yours.” Julian kept coming until she was either going to have to press her back to the door to stay clear of him or end up chest to chest with him, a prospect Julian was fine with given what she was hiding under her shirt.
