Daddy's Little Girl

9. Our secret

AFTER TWO WEEKS

R's eyes scanned Amelia's vacant expression as she lay on the couch doing nothing at all. He didn't feel impressed with her cluelessness and conflictingly immature behavior. Their marital life was stagnant, and he knew it. It wasn't entirely her fault, but he couldn't help but feel resentment towards her.

Meanwhile, Amelia felt a familiar fog enveloping her mind as she struggled to keep her eyes open. Her sleepiness was like a welcome escape from the mundane life she led, and she cherished the softness of the couch that cradled her into a slumber.

R's voice jolted her from her reverie, and she halfheartedly acknowledged his request,

"I am going to the office, David can come home so please don't sleep. And stay awake till he leaves, got it? " R's tone was sharp and commanding.

"Okay, R," Amelia muttered,

FIVE HOURS LATER

Amelia answered the door to find David there, who greeted her with his deep voice and called her,

"Hello, Princess," to which Amelia responded with a warm "ʰⁱ ᵈᵃᵈᵈʸ,"

"Daddy...? " David asked with a puzzled face.

"That's your nickname, isn't it?" said Amelia looking confused.

He smirked and stepped closer placing his hand around her waist, "Hmm, it is. But only for special ones " He whispered the last part.

"ᵒʰʰ, " Amelia looked confused.

He removed his hands from her waist and stare at her big beautiful eyes.

"May I use your husband's laptop ?" He asked.

Amelia nodded.

As the minutes ticked by, David worked diligently on R's laptop, typing away with speed and accuracy, his eyes never leaving the screen. Meanwhile, Amelia sat nearby, trying her best not to fall asleep despite feeling weary from a long day. She watched David's fingers move across the keyboard with a sense of admiration.

David was well aware of R's shortcomings when it came to completing his work on time. David had often stepped in to help R and ensure that everything was done perfectly, which had earned him a reputation as a hardworking and dependable employee.

However, he knew that R was also vying for a promotion, and as much as he wanted to see his friend succeed, he couldn't bear to see the company suffer due to R's inefficiencies.

With that in mind, David decided to take matters into his own hands and complete R's work himself, knowing that he had the skills and expertise to do it quickly and efficiently.

Despite the risks of getting caught, David pushed aside his doubts and plowed ahead, determined to help both himself and R to get their promotion. As the work neared completion, he breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that everything was in order and that he had done a job well done.

Meanwhile, Amelia lay there, feeling the soft and fluffy comfort of the couch enveloping her, she couldn't help but feel that her life was passing her by. She longed to escape this lethargy, this endless cycle of sleep and inactivity.

"Can I have his fi-" David's ears perked up at the sound of a small noise coming from the corner of his eye, so he turned his head to peer at the source where Amelia was sleeping soundly.

To his surprise, he saw Amelia sucking her thumb while napping peacefully, causing his eyes to widen with surprise at the unexpected sight. However, he didn't want to disturb her peaceful slumber, so he softly caressed her cheeks to calm her down.

"Mmm" As soon as she began to stir awake, he hushed her gently, "Shh, little one" wanting her to enjoy her restful sleep.

His eyes scanned the vicinity, and seeing that no one else was around, he made the bold decision to carry her to her room. Without hesitation and with the utmost care, David lifted Amelia's body into his arms and walked silently towards the bedroom, taking extra care to ensure that he didn't bump into anything or create any loud noises that would wake her up.

Once they got to her room, David laid her down gently on the bed, tucking her in with the blankets so that she would feel warm and cozy.

"I- I am sorry, I shouldn't hav fall asleep I -" she was cut off by him.

"You're safe little one, go back to sleep," said David.

"Nᵘ-ᵘʰ, R is gonna be supah mad I can't fa-" she tried to speak but David quickly interrupted her.

"Shh! It's alright. I won't tell him," David promised.

"But ... "

"No buts," David shushed her.

"C'mere lemme rub your back," To help her relax, David offered to massage her back, using his deep, husky voice to calm her nerves. As he pulled her closer, his voice becoming low and sultry.

She looked at him nervously.

David pulled her close and whispered,

"You're safe in Daddy's arms little one," His deep sexy voice was echoing through Amelia's ears.

"D-daddy?" Amelia made a puzzled face.

"Shh! It's our little secret." David whispered.

As he lingered near her, he felt a deep sense of affection and care for this woman. To show his love and appreciation for her, he leaned down and kissed her lovingly on the nose, wanting to leave behind a warm and fuzzy feeling even after he had left her room.
