I check for the third time that there is no one around before approaching you from behind and wrapping my arms around you, you smile slightly knowing it's me.

"Did you wear that outfit for me?" I whisper in your ear, referring to your short summer dress. "I can't wait to take it off so I can see what kind of lingerie you're wearing today." I laugh in your ear.

You turn around to look at me and leave a small kiss on my lips, but your expression changes completely as you look behind me.

"What's wrong?" I ask before turning around and seeing my daughter watching us from the doorway, your best friend.

It all started a few months ago when I stopped seeing you as my daughter's friend and started seeing you as the beautiful woman you'd become. You were already 23, so corrupting you didn't seem so bad. We started seeing each other secretly from my daughter and your parents, who were also friends of mine. And things were going swimmingly.

Today was your 24th birthday, and you were planning a party at your house. You invited me with the excuse that your parents would be there, so Sophie, my daughter, wouldn't be so suspicious. After the party was over, I had a hotel room reserved for the two of us, so we could enjoy your birthday alone. I guess that's not going to be possible now.

"Sophie... don't get all worked up..." I murmur, watching my daughter's face turn redder and redder with rage. "Let's talk this over... okay? It's not what it seems..." Of course it is what it seems.
