When Only "Baby" Will Do

As a 28 year old HR professional, Benefits Manager, I had a visceral response when my 50 year old VP called me 'Baby'.

Baby this, Baby that. He called on me for personal issues, buying a g*ft for his 16 year old daughter. To look into M, he felt she was going through issues at home. Reminding me that she still lived at home. Helping him with his tie before he left for lunch with the bankers.

Baby, he was calling me. Baby, he wanted my attention. Baby, sit beside him.

One day a girl from purchasing ran into him in the hall. She is Latina, put her arms under his arms, lifting herself for a kiss on this cheek. "When are you coming to see me?'. A feeling I had never had, I got angry, my heart raced, my nervous reaction shook all over me.

When he returned to his office I went to him demanding an explanation. He patted, patted my cheek. "Settle down" she's like that, nothing there. Then, holding my cheek in his hand "you're my Baby girl".

Later, when he had sex with me, I told him I wasn't going to call him 'Daddy'. Baby, Baby, Baby. Yes, Daddy. I couldn't believe it. My jealousy about him was constant, about everything. I went to lunch with my friends group, my high school club to discuss a tenth year anniversary of our high school graduation cruise to the Bahamas. Before committing I blurted out I would confirm once I got permission. I had to come out, I had a Daddy and I had to check with him.

I got permission. I called him everyday, and ran to him when I saw him. Baby, come to Daddy. Yes Daddy, I love you.
