A king and his princesses

Getting out to the parking lot Derrick opened the drunk of his Audi A6 Quattro for Amanda to put a large bag in, when he turned to look at the two girls. “Hmm I’m thinking a princess with the name Ann should be able to drive this morning, but which one should it be? One Ann got to drive last night, so maybe the other this morning. Bailey, would you like to drive my rental car to the park?” Bailey didn’t care for the way he was talking and wasn’t much of a car guy, loving riding his motorcycle back before he sold it months ago. Though this was a sixty to seventy thousand dollar car. “I would like totally love to drive the car Mr. Connors.” he said remembering rule number one, that he was a teenager and how to address those older than the character. “You can call him daddy if you want, considering your dress and being my little sister.” Amanda was never a fan of Bailey’s driving, but she also knew she couldn’t let her daughter drive because of the story they have been telling. “Sorry this princess Ann cannot drive yet, she does not even have her permit yet.” the comment brought a glare from Bailey from the indignation. “Sorry princess, if you are a good girl for the rest of the week maybe we can go next week if you have studied enough.” Bailey thought he was going to have to bite down on his anger not to snap back, but instead just started to feel overwhelmed at the way he was being treated. “Its.. its not fair.” the words didn’t come out in anger or a whine, just softly as Bailey failed to hold in a few tears.

Everyone else saw the cute teenage girl trying to hold back tears, and Derrick’s brain immediately put him in action telling him that he needs to do what he can to stop a girl from crying. Taking a step to Bailey, Derrick wrapped his arms around her. “Its okay honey, how about I let you drive around the parking lot here at the apartment for a little bit and then we can let your sister drive. Would you like that?” Bailey had no idea why he was being so emotional, it was like his emotional dam just wasn’t strong enough to hold things in anymore, he thought that he might have to see a therapist at this point after all this girly shit was over, but for now the hug felt good. It felt good being able to hold onto someone else and just cry a little into their shoulder. The older man trying to sooth his emotions with driving in the parking lot felt even more demeaning, but he couldn’t exactly tell anyone why he was really upset. With a sniffle Bailey nodded and the embrace ended. Candi put away her phone after taking a photo of the two of them. “Just because I told you to call him daddy doesn’t mean you can hog him all to yourself, but if you want a competition then let the best princess Ann win.” she teased. Bailey wanted to tell her she can keep him, but this girl was supposed to be his best friend. “You are forgetting sis, that I am the best Ann. We both can be Ann, but only one of us is Ann Best.” he said sticking his tongue out at her. The comment and gesture caused her to giggle and Bailey had been spending so much time with her trying to mimic her for the role he couldn’t help, but did it too.

While the girls were having a good time teasing each other Derrick went back over to Amanda, her leaning on the back of the car. “So you are a princess today too, do you want to fight for my attention and call me daddy?” he said leaning on the car next to her. Pursing her lips together Amanda gave him a serious look before it cracked with a smile. She twisted one finger through one of her pigtails. “Wow Mr. Connors, could I really call you that?” she said in a mock higher pitched girly voice. “Okay, okay. Bridge too far.” Thinking back to the conversation from last night with Bailey, Amanda was still unsure about it but figured why not. It wasn’t cheating, Bailey honestly just wanted her to be happy and saw his limitations on what he could provide her. So she leaned over and gave a peck on Derrick’s cheek, whispering. “Maybe I can call you daddy later when it is just the two of us.” the kiss and comment struck Derrick in almost a physical way. Last night when he kissed her she turned him down saying it would be unfair to them and the girls with them living in different states and then on the way home Candace was telling him to not give up and now this. “Later then, for now are you princess Amanda or Mandy?” he asked with a warm smile. Sliding a few inches closer Amanda leaned on Derrick, she dated Bailey because he made her feel young again with all the sex they used to have and other men just didn’t, but here was someone older than her and just talking with him made her feel young again. “Hmm when not at the office, Mandy is fine. Now though, let us get a move on.”

Everyone got in the car, Candi and Amanda in the back seat and Derrick in the passage seat up front, while Bailey got in the driver seat. Adjusting the seat for his height he gripped the wheel with both hands, sliding them over the steering wheel of the expensive car. “Now before we go anywhere, check your mirrors so that you can see and then move the car into reverse.” As Bailey pulled out someone zoomed past behind him, causing him to stomp on the break. Using the pedals was not easy with the thick soled shoes and the sudden stop only encouraged the ever so helpful Derrick to give him instructions. “It’s okay, that driver was going a little fast. Good job paying attention, just ease on out after you take a second look for oncoming traffic.” The running encouraging commentary didn’t stop as Bailey did a lap around the complex and even when he didn’t fully stop at a stop sign Derrick didn’t admonish him. “It was clear so you were okay. While stop signs on private property are not enforceable by law, you should treat them all as mandatory and come to a complete stop, just in case someone like earlier is driving too fast and not paying attention.” or like how when Bailey parked he went too far ahead causing the front bumper to hit the curb. “The nose sticks out a bit on the car, as you drive more you will get the feel for it. You did a wonderful job, I would even say better than when Candace first started to drive.” To Bailey the worst part of all of that was just how nice he was, heck when he drove Mandy’s car she would often hold on to something, telling him he was driving too fast. He liked it much better when he was on his old bike and she wrapped her arms around him, but she was never a fan and with him not working, the bike breaking down and not having the money to fix it he ended up selling the Honda shadow to his best friend for his little brother to fix up. This car though was nice, and he wondered if Mandy would get something like it when she got his job, and she better get this job after all the shit he was going through for it.

When Bailey and Candi swapped seats the teenage girl gave Bailey a high five to encourage her friend and to be tagged in. Getting in the backseat Amanda took Bailey’s hand and gave it a little squeeze. “You did wonderful sweetie, now put your seatbelt on.” Bailey wasn’t sure why she was congratulating him, he had been driving for years, but thought it best not to say anything as the teenage girl cautiously started their trek to the water park. For the duration of the drive Bailey noticed Derrick talked to Candi the same way he was talking to him as he drove. Complimenting her and giving her tips on how to do better. As far as student drivers went, Candi wasn’t bad though she did tend to stay at the speed limit and was overly cautious about turning, a good attitude to start with if a little annoying to other drivers who were in a hurry to get to their destinations this Wednesday morning. The water park was about forty minutes away with morning traffic and while the place had plenty of cars in the parking lot for summer, going in the middle of the week left many more open spaces.

As everyone was getting out of the car Derrick got a phone call and he indicated he would be right out to everyone. “Even on a day off I can’t get away from Mega Corp, I will be out in a second, can you ladies get everything out of the trunk?” he said as he got out of the car to stand up and drum his fingers on the roof of the vehicle. Popping the trunk open inside they found large tote bag Amanda brought, a backpack and a small cooler. Pulling the articles out of the car Amanda heard someone speaking behind them. “Three beautiful blonde women, I don’t know how your father over there can keep up with all three of you.” Amanda knew she couldn’t pass for anyone's daughter, but it was a sweet compliment or pickup line that brought a smile to her face. It was Derrick who answered the man though as he rounded the car taking the small cooler from Amanda. “It is a pleasure to keep up with them all, I’m sure they all appreciate the compliment, but if you excuse us we are about to go in. Have a wonderful day.” he said before motioning the ladies to follow him to the front gates.

Getting inside was easy, Amanda presented the passes the girls won from her tote bag Bailey was carrying and Derrick showed the person at the gate the cooler only had water inside and off the first top was over to customer service to rent a small cabana. “Can’t have the three of you fair skinned ladies turning red, a nice place for shelter I think would be best.” Derrick told them when getting the assigned location. Once there the group put down their belongings, Amanda removed her cover to reveal a black bikini. She sat down and removed her shoes and pulled out some sun screen lotion. Both Bailey and Derrick were transfixed by the sight of the beautiful blonde blue eyed woman, both feeling a stirring in their loins. Candi’s thought was how pretty she looked and it was no wonder why her dad was captivated, but when she saw her friend acting the same she felt bad for her. Candi hoped the pills she gave Bailey would help her develop like her mom, the poor girl seemed to compare herself to her mom and she was sure she felt lacking.

When Amanda put down the bottle, Derrick quickly picked it up saying. “Here let me get your back.” Bailey had given Mandy permission to see other men, but the idea of someone caressing her in a bikini he remembered her wearing as they made out at a pool party not that long ago was too much. “I need the sunscreen too, and can help mommy after.” turning to look at the blonde green eyed teen girl in the daddy’s princess shirt Derrick smiled. “Take that off and I will do your back first princess.” The older man putting his hands on him wasn’t ideal, but Bailey figured soon as he put the bottle down he could grab it to be the one to apply it to his girlfriend. Standing in the shade Bailey could feel Derricks large hands rubbing the lotion in and as much as he wanted to hate it, the act felt good, much like the massage he had gotten the other day. While lost in the feeling of Derrick’s hands Candi picked up the bottle and went to Amanda. “I’m not in as big of a hurry as my little sister, so let me do your back and then you can do mine.” Bailey wanted to be the one to do that, but he much rather have his new best friend apply the lotion than for Derrick to do it with his wonderful hands. The word wonderful came unbidden and Bailey wished he hadn’t thought that, but it was hard considering how great it felt as his hands moved down to his lower back rubbing in the sunscreen.
