idk if this is the right category to post this in but literally like 2 days before quarantine started, my brother’s friend’s dad touched me inappropriately.

backstory: this boy was friends with my brother since they were in elementary school. we lived in the same neighborhood, he was always over my house and my brother was always over his. for his sake, i’ll call him Tim.

so growing up, Tim was always in our house so he was always around. him and my brother is 2 grades below me but he liked me at one point. ofc he tried to not make it obvious when my brother was around but when he would go to the bathroom or something Tim would come in my room and flirt with me. I always laughed him off.

another thing, Tim and his dad are close, VERY close despite of the separation problems Tim’s parents was going through. ik for a fact Tim tells his dad everything bc i was there a couple of times hearing a story being told. i think, idk for sure, that Tim told his dad he liked me or was tryna get with me. our families know each other bc of my brother and Tim’s friendship. So his dad would talk to me from time to time, or if me and my brother was locked out the house, we would go over Tim’s house.

all that to say, we all watched each other grow up. now, they still hang out, but they aren’t as close. Tim occasionally still tries to flirt with me but i shut it down faster than i used to before bc he seen me as a child and all the embarrassing things he was there to witness lmao. also, my freshman year i went through a short-lived hoe phase, a lot to do with my TERRIBLE self esteem and how i didn’t treasure myself or my body. i don’t do that shit no more because of the risks and i value myself now. sorry for the long backstory but i wanted to press the fact that our families kinda trust each other.

but getting into the story, 2 days before quarantine, Tim was over our house for the day and it was like 5 when Tim told me he ordered food, and it was outside so him and my brother was going to go get it. i slipped on shoes to go outside thinking it was door dash or something lol. (i went outside with them bc my brother once got his phone snatched by the uber eats person lol long story) so we go out side our building and it turns out just to be Tim’s dad bringing him food. by the time we got outside, Tim’s dad was already out his car and walking to the apartment building door. he waves and me and i wave back, and he starts talking to Tim as they both walk towards my door. like i said, i just slipped on shoes which means i still had on indoor clothes. it wasn’t pajamas, it was like short shorts and a tank top and i slipped on crocs. my brother as i open the door to our apartment tells me he and Tim wants to go to the mall across the street so all he needs to do is grab his keys. so i’m like oh okay i guess and i told him to grab my lipgloss while he’s in there. Tim’s dad is sitting on the stairs bc he told Tim to also go inside and bring him SOMETHING of his... idk what was going on there.

so it ended up just being me and Tim’s dad alone. i wasn’t uncomfortable bc I GREW UP KNOWING HIM. So we get the talking and he asked me why i told my brother to get my lipgloss and i said bc i needed it. he then asked me if i was tryna impress other boys. and so i was like no??? and he said “be honest, Tim has been telling me you’ve been VERY into boys the past couple of years, and that you aren’t a virgin anymore. is that true?” STILL i wasn’t uncomfortable, i was more annoyed that he was asking. so i said i’ve always been into boys and why did it matter if i was or was not? and after he picked at the topic a little more, i finally told him i wasn’t. he proceeds to ask me if i smoke, and if i did was it with boys. i told him i did once, and with a boy. he asks do i feel a certain type of way when i smoke. then i started to feel weird cus he’s basically asking if i get horny from smoking. i say idk... he THEN says “I feel like you would get in a mood while smoking... you should smoke with me to test it out.” i laugh it off and he was just like no rlly. he then says he’s surprised that every time he sees me there isn’t a flock of dudes around me. he starts talking and talking about my body. that’s when i started feeling uncomfortable in my outfit... uncomfortable around him..

Right then i felt the urge to back away from him, closer to the door but i didn’t bc i didn’t want to seem like i was making a big deal out of it in case his intentions was somehow pure? he asked me if i think i got a body and i said not rlly. then it happened so fast, he stretched his arm out and slapped my ass and says “well i think you do. you have nothing to be ashamed of though, you are beautiful” i was just frozen there. i wanted to back away but still i didn’t. again i just nervously laughed it off. he didn’t even noticed how weird out i was about it and he kept on talking about how he knows there is competition for me.

finally Tim and my brother came back out. it took them forever bc my brother had a bathroom break and couldn’t find my lipgloss. i think Tim noticed the tension bc he asked what happened. his dad said “nothing me and her was just talking” and he winked at me. Tim had the nerve to side eye ME like i was the problem. his dad is in the 30-50 zone and i’m only 16. i rlly trusted him growing up to be someone to protect me from the type of guys he had became :/

but i haven’t seen them since and i’m nervous about what to do the next time i have to see Tim’s dad again..
