I got up and followed her as we made our way to the kitchen. “What’s wrong babe?” I asked as I put my hand on her lower back.
“That was Robin, Tabs mom. Robin’s dad died and she has to fly out to Denver right now to help her mother take care of all that. She asked if we could take care of Tabs until she returned.” Candy was staring out the window towards Tabs as she talked.
“I’m hoping you told her we would?” I asked, knowing she did since I heard her end of the conversation. I rubbed my hand up and down her back “you okay?”
Candy was lost in her thoughts of taking care of Tabs and she started getting wet. My hand must have spooked her because she sort of shook her head and blinked as if she was somewhere else. I had a pretty good idea where she was but didn’t make a big deal out of it. “Yea, yes, I’m good. Just sad a bit for Robin and Tabs. She asked us to tell Tabs even though she and her grandfather were not close at all.”
“Okay, we can tonight, after dinner” I said as my hand came to rest on her shoulder.
We piddled around in the kitchen for a bit, Candy loading the dishwasher and I wiped the counters off when the girls came in. “What’s on the agenda for the rest of the day?” Les asked. “Not sure, why?” I asked.
“We wanted to get some sun but wanted to make sure we weren’t about to do something right now” Les said, leaning over the island in the kitchen. Tabs followed and stared at Candy. They both had their arms propping their heads up with their fists tucked under their chins.
“We aren’t doing anything else, go sun” Candy said as she turned from staring out the window and made eye contact with both girls. She walked over to the island and stroked the outside of each girl’s head “you two are sweet girls, do you know that?”
Tabs and Les stood up, thanked Candy, then bolted out of the kitchen towards Les’ bedroom to change. Being the same size, the girls shared many different sets of clothing. They stripped as they ran through the house so they could put bikinis on and get to the back deck. Candy walked behind them, picking clothes up as she headed towards Les’ bedroom.
“Girls, you forgot some things…” Trailing off as she disappeared into the room. I heard mumbling coming from the bedroom and giggling then silence. Minutes later, Candy came out of the bedroom “remember to ask dad” then walked towards me smiling from ear to ear.
I frowned as I tried to read Candy’s mind, her look had a devilish hint to it yet she didn’t tell me anything. The girls followed her shortly with their towels wrapped around their bodies. The towels covered most of their breasts and hung to mid thigh leaving plenty of room for imagination.
“Dad…would it be okay if we lay out on the deck to tan?” Les asked as she leaned into my side. “I don’t see why not” I said looking down into her puppy dog eyes. Tabs came up on my other side and hugged me then I knew there was a catch.
“Okay, what else?” I said as I looked towards the ceiling in assumed defeat.
“Well, since we are both over 18, we want to tan our entire bodies” she said in a matter of fact tone. “And when I say our entire bodies, I mean our entire bodies.”
