My Boyfriend's Dad

My boyfriend introduced us.

He was handsome, charming, and sweet. We were friends.

Now everything’s changed.

When I see him, my heart hurts knowing I can’t have him. When I don’t see him, it hurts even more.

My boyfriend is supposed to make me feel protected. Make my body ache for his touch.

But it’s not my boyfriend who makes me feel that way.

It’s his father.

I gave her a job to be nice.

She was the perfect fit for my company. I had no idea she’d be the perfect fit for me.

Every day we spend together, it gets harder to say goodnight.

I can’t touch her. She’s twenty-four and I’m forty-nine. And she’s my son’s girlfriend.

But he’s not treating her right. And I know I would.

She just asked me what she should do about their relationship.

What am I going to tell her?
