This is Candy’s story to tell. I decided that she needed to tell her story, It includes the main theme and characters from the Niece Rindi series.
‐———Friday June 23
“Su and I are going to sit and eat with you, I told Roy, “Can’t have Rindi be the only girl with all those cute young good looking guys,” I tell my boss and the owner of Pirates Cove restaurant. He claims we are all partners but none of us would be here if not for him, I wish I was Rindi though.
The boys are more than happy to make room for us and quickly two of them bring us chairs and we sit down to eat.
The cute red headed boy is across from me and keeps staring at me. I wonder if I look all right, do I have flour on my face or is something else wrong?
Roy is talking with Paul who along with the five boys had just brought the six newly painted Escapes over to the restaurant.
The red headed boy finally talks. “It’s you, you’re the mermaid from the logo with the most incredible boobs.” He turned almost as red as his hair, while the other boys teased him.
“I haven’t even seen them yet myself,” I said, without thinking. Meaning the new logo’s. Everyone is laughing at me now, I turned red and thankfully Roy ordered me to help him bring out the pizzas.
As we walk into the kitchen, I feel all of them are watching me so I add a bit of wiggle to my walk and twitch my butt. The short white skirt allows them to see my black silk panties. In the kitchen Roy starts slicing the pizzas and puts two huge slices on each big plate.
“I felt so sorry for that boy when he tried to compliment me and then I embarrassed myself, I meant I hadn’t seen the logo not my boobs,” I tell Roy. “I bet he masturbates thinking about me in that mermaid outfit.”
He smiled at me and chuckled, then he said. “Candy, you are cute enough he would masturbate no matter what you wear. If you want to date any boy you like go ahead, Rindi and I don’t want to hold you back and you deserve your own life, just one rule though. If you have sex be exclusive, we don’t want any problems like what happened with Claude, at the senior prom.”
I agreed and we went back to the table, I wheeled a serving cart with five plates of pizza and so did Roy. He gave one to Paul and then Rindi, Passed two plates down and kept one for himself. I handed out one to Su and then the cute redhead. Then I handed each of the other two boys a plate and took my own back to sit next to Su across from the red headed guy.
“These are huge slices,” said Paul, “I don’t know if I can handle eating two pieces.”
“The girls can each eat two pieces, they are the reason this restaurant even exists,” Roy told the owner of the car painting place.
“I would like to hear that story?” Paul said to Roy.
The red head nods his head agreeing he wants to hear this, so do the others. Roy is a great storyteller, he has so much emotion in his voice.
Roy takes his time, finishing one piece of pizza first then says, “It was spring break in March for those two,” he points at Su and I.
“My fiancee,” he kissed Rindi, letting the boys all know she belongs to him. “Invited the girls for the week. I had ordered a new bread machine and I found out I could use it to make pizza dough. I asked the three girls what toppings they wanted. Pepperoni, mushrooms and olives, Oh My!”
Roy does a great Cowardly Lion impression. He also does quite a few other celebrity voice imitations and is always saying stupid shit to make everyone laugh.
Then Roy gets mean. “Neanderthal, unimaginative cave girls,” He calls us three girls. I am happy to see Rindi punch him on his arm and he rubbed it before continuing. “I put scallops, shrimp, cashew nuts and mushrooms on top of mozzerella cheese and my own special alfredo sauce. Last weekend the girls each made about 25,000 dollars just from pizza sales.”
Holy Shit! I think, I had been putting my monthly checks in the bank, I had nearly sixty thousand right now from the last three months. If this keeps up why would I even need to go to college? That is more than a lot of people make yearly.
The boys have all finished eating and even Paul managed to finish off his second piece of pizza, although he burped a couple times and farted on his way out the door.
Once outside the redhead tells me his name is Kevin. He leads me over to the freshly painted gray vehicles. “Here are the cars we painted for Pirates Cove,” he tells me with pride in his voice. “It was I, myself, who designed the water and the mermaid, the other guys did the boat and all the rest, except for the Jolly Roger flag, that was mine too, but it was quite easy. The mermaid is probably my best work ever and I’m happy that I got to meet the attractive girl who modeled for the picture.”
I stared at my picture on the gray Escape, the green sironemelia looked amazing, the gold scales sparkled in the sunshine. I looked at my boobs there are two tiny starfish just barely covering my nipples on either side, it takes up both of the passenger doors. The other cars each have different things on the nipples, one has clam shells, one is two small fish, one is hermit crabs with the claws pinching to hold on the sides of the boobs, one has two tiny seagulls, I think that one is Roy’s, the last one is two big white pearls.
“Thank you Kevin,” I said giggling at him, while he blushed.
Then Roy says to Paul, “These Escapes are only five seater vehicles so I will have to drive one of your boys back to the shop.”
I looked at Roy in a begging manner and he saw me and smiled. Beckoning me to come to him. He handed me a key fob. “Here take one of the new grays, I know how long it takes to get to Gotcha’s and back, I’ll do your job while you are gone but remember what I said in the kitchen earlier?” Roy said to me.
“Which one is it?” I asked him, meaning the car of course.
Roy teased me and said, Probably the redhead.” I glared at him and he started laughing at me. He dodged my attempt to kick him.
“Push the button that looks like a horn, the car will let you know which one it is,” Roy said to me.
I pushed the button, the horn started beeping and headlights flashed on and off from the gray vehicle with the starfish nipples that we had been examining. I told Kevin to get in and we pulled out of the parking lot.
“Your boss seems like a really great guy, letting you girls be partners in something he could have made millions doing himself?” Kevin questioned me when we were driving away.
“Roy is the nicest guy I have ever known, he’s great to work with. He doesn’t consider himself our boss, he keeps telling us we are all equals. We know he makes all the major decisions though. Even Captain Jack, who started Pirates Cove, admits it’s Roy who makes it all work, with his recipes and his ideas. He wouldn’t have ever needed to work either, he was a millionaire right out of high school, he claims it was luck, but he also says that he’s not a genius.” I tell Kevin.
“Wow!” Kevin exclaimed, “He really did all that?”
“All that and a lot more, Su and I live in his huge lake house with he and Rindi.” I tell Kevin and then I giggled a bit. I giggle a lot, Roy says it’s cute and most guys like it if the girl they are with giggles and pays them attention.
The half hour trip to Gotcha’s seemed much shorter, Kevin wasn’t as shy as he had seemed in the restaurant either. I think he’s a bit intimidated by the other guys as he’s the youngest one, and they all graduated college, he will be a sophomore in the fall, three months away. He just turned nineteen a few months ago. We exchanged phone numbers and he asked me if I had a boyfriend.
“No, My last boyfriend was kind of a clod as Jack would say, I broke up with him in March at the senior prom. Do you have a girlfriend?” I asked him.
“No, most girls in high school teased me about my hair or my pimples. The college girls all want guys that are studying to be doctors or lawyers, not many are interested in artists since not many of us get rich at it.” Kevin said this kind of sadly.
“You need to hear Roy and Rindi’s story, not right now. I need to get back to Pirates Cove, Roy is planning a party tonight for our new dj Molly, I promised him, I’d come right back.” I told Kevin, then I surprised him by kissing his cheek and his red embarrassed face matched his hair color. “Call me,” I said and waved at him as I left. Life is good, as Roy would say.
I got back to the restaurant. Roy, Rindi and Su had about a hundred pizza crusts all ready through the first cooking phase. We can’t freeze them if we don’t cook them so these will all be used today or thrown out. Roy says it’s better to toss them out than to lose a customer to a cardboard crust. He and Rindi are in a bit of a hurry as they need to make several stops for tonights party.
I thanked him and Rindi for doing my work and for letting me drive Kevin over to Gotcha’s paint shop.
“Are you going to see him again?” Roy asked me.
“I’d like to, he’s a nice guy and needs to hear your story soon. Go do your errands we can talk later.” I tell Roy.
Su and I finished our shift at six thirty, the party is at eight and we are supposed to bring up two pizzas, still leaves an hour and a half.
I called Kevin, giggling just a bit when he answered his phone and asked who is it? He hadn’t programmed in my data yet. I tell him it’s Nipples, he gets a laugh from that.
“Hello Nipples, my name is Red, the Artist,” Kevin chuckled.
We talked for over an hour, he’s at his parents home on his bed, he had been looking at various art sites on his tablet computer and using a search engine for a new job since Gotcha’s only needed him when they had enough work for three artists. “Many times they only need just one artist, and since I am the most recent employee, they don’t need me often. Most customers just want paint jobs not murals or logo’s,” he informed me.
“Ever think about delivering pizzas?” I asked him.
“That wouldn’t be my first choice,” he says, “I do need something though?”
“I’m sure Roy can find you something, I’ll talk to him tomorrow, it’s Saturday and we will be very busy again. Hey, come to Pirates Cove at ten thirty tomorrow if you can? I’ll have Roy come in and you two can talk a while.” I tell Kevin. “I need to go now, the party will start soon.
I turn my phone off. Su had gone upstairs to visit with Eddie and had practiced a few games of pool. Rindi always beats us and Roy is really good too, so Su and I have been practicing every chance we get. I text her phone and tell her to get her cute little butt back in the kitchen so she can carry one of the two pizzas I had just finished baking. Su is my best friend, we have been bffs since grade school.
Su came downstairs, looking pleased with herself. Either she had made a few great shots or she and Eddie had a thing going. Better tell her about Roy’s rules for dating.
“Su, are you thinking about dating Eddie?” I asked her.
“I don’t know, he hasn’t asked me out yet?My mom always told me if the girl asks first the guys will think she’s an easy lay and won’t respect her.” Su replied to my question, surprising me with her mom’s way of thinking. Must be her mom’s Korean background or something.
We each carried a pizza upstairs to the ballroom. Roy and the others are there. Molly and Megan aren’t here yet but as we set the pizzas down near the cake with the juke box icing, Megan comes flying into the room wearing her cute little female pirate costume, she runs straight to Roy and jumps into his arms. Shit, I wish I could do that.
He starts singing happy birthday and we all join in, he then has everyone sit and after making sure the ballroom doors were locked he hands everyone a glass of champagne and a plate for pizza. Megan sits on his lap and asks what Champagne tastes like, she has sparkling apple cider in her glass. Roy switched glasses with her and Rindi told him he shouldn’t let Megan have the champagne. He tells Rindi to trust him and watch what happens. Molly took a sip, looked like she wanted to spit it out, swallowed and shook her head no.
“That tastes like shit,” she said, while giggling and took back her sparkling cider.
Now she knows what it tastes like and since she doesn’t like it, she won’t want it, Roy told Rindi and Molly who had also watched the exchange.
“I wouldn’t have thought to have her taste it,” Molly said.
Neither would I, I’m thinking to myself, just another example of Roy’s genius mind at work.
Roy makes a comment about Molly needing a car that won’t die and hands her twelve crystal cars on necklaces, everyone laughs. Then he gives her the bag with soaps and perfumes along with bath oils. I’m slightly jealous until I realize with all the tip money Roy has given us plus our share of pizza sales, he has given Su and I much more than what a few gifts are worth. Then after Megan gives her gift of perfume and soap. Roy hands Molly a key fob to one of the new Escapes. He tells her it’s for her own use but belongs to the company and if she quits the car is no longer hers. Then he hands Megan two keys and she takes them to Jack and Phyl.
Shit, shit, shit, my car is eight years old, it’s starting to have problems, what did this new bitch do to deserve the new vehicle?
After the party is over and we are all leaving to go home, Roy surprises us, “Did I forget, you two? he asks Su and I. “Since you both have cars, I can’t imagine either of you needing a new vehicle?”
I quickly try to figure out if he’s teasing or serious. Rindi has the blue one, Roy has Gray, Jack, Phyl, bitch, that leaves two more in the parking lot.
Roy is nearly doubled over laughing at my reaction when he hands me the same key fob I had used earlier that day, he handed Su the last one. Su jumped in his arms and I thought she might smother him as she pushed her tongue down his throat. When he put her down, he picked me up. Roy doesn’t look real muscular but this guy claims to have bench pressed 185 pounds in high school, carried two 80 pound sacks of rabbit food at a time, one on each shoulder. Just the other day some idiot in the restaurant had pinched Su’s butt, she had screamed. The guy was well over two hundred pounds. Roy picked him up by the scruff of his neck and the back of his jeans, carried him like he was a newborn kitten and tossed him out the door, telling him to never come back. He lifted my ninety-five pound self up, like five pounds of potatoes, so of course I kissed him. Ten minutes ago I wanted to kill him in a jealous rage and now I think I really am in love with him. My emotions are all confused.
“Candy you and Su don’t get the same deal I gave to Molly.” Roy said.
Oh shit! what now? I think, Roy is always telling us to trust him. Most of the time
I try to do that but lately I just don’t know.
“These two cars are yours now, we might need them for deliveries while you are working so keep them clean inside and out.” Roy tells us. “My name is on the titles but we can have that changed for the registration unless you don’t want them?”
Shit, let me just strangle him, I’m thinking to myself.
“Gamsahabnida!” Su exclaimed to Roy.
Shit, she annoys me when she speaks Korean, at least I know that word, but I should have thanked Roy first, she beat me to it and now I want a favor from him for Kevin.
“I really want to thank you too Roy,” I tell him and I am wondering if you will do me a favor and come in at ten thirty tomorrow to meet Red the Artist, I mean Kevin?” I asked him.
“Candy, any favor you want?” Roy tells me, “You should know me by now, that I’ll do my best to make it happen.”
Shit! I think, he’s so nice to everyone, why do I doubt myself so much when asking him for anything. I was valedictorian, well with only forty of us girls, it wasn’t such a big deal, but usually I’m a smart person. Why can’t I trust this man I love but can’t have. Am I being selfish not wanting to share him with anyone else? I think to myself.
Roy and Rindi lead Su and I in our new Escapes back to their home on the lake, they keep telling Su and I, it’s our home too now but sometimes I feel like an outsider.
Three garage doors opened as we entered the driveway, Roy has voice command for all four garage doors, us three girls just need one for our own car. We can always push the buttons inside the garage for the other doors if needed. Roy likes having lots of electronic gadgets. Most of them blue tooth, hooked to his phone or voice commanded. Inside the house we all go to our separate bedrooms, I got undressed and used my own bathroom for my evening rituals. I brushed my teeth using the electric sonicare toothbrush. Roy had given Su and I each one, when we moved in last week after graduation.
Ready for bed, naked, I put my slippers on and went to the next bedroom closest to mine, it’s the huge bedroom with the giant bed of Roy and Rindi’s. They are still in their bathroom, I hear Rindi cry out in orgasmic pleasure, so I make sure the blankets on my side are firmly tucked under the mattress, don’t ever want Su’s or Rindi’s screams of passion in the mornings to knock me out of bed again and knowing my three friends, it’s always a possibility.
Su climbed into the bed, naked also, we kissed and fondled each others boobs, Her nipples are so huge, the size of silver dollars, I can barely fit one into my mouth. I nibbled on them both taking turns.
She climbed on top of me, while I stared at the ceiling mirror, looking at her light brown butt in the reflection. Roy would say it looked good enough to eat with a spoon. He will occasionally kiss a butt cheek and he has been known to stick a finger or two inside one but he says analictus just doesn’t appeal to him. He has such talant for cunnilingus, boobgasms and straight sex that we three girls are probably so spoiled that most guys won’t measure up to our standards, even if willing to try analictus, at least not without quite a bit of training.
Roy is carrying a naked Rindi, when they emerge from the bathroom and his penis is limp, obviously they had been having sex while getting ready for bed. Roy put her gently onto the bed, then got in himself.
“Curtain close, the curtain obeyed and made a swooshing sound as the black curtain blocked out the moonbeams. Lights off, the lights shut themselves off. Alarm set for seven thirty,” he said, and after covering us with the comforter, all four of us fell asleep.
—————Saturday June 24
At seven thirty a rooster crowed, several ducks quacked, and then a bunch of cows started mooing. It was Roy’s alarm clock, he definitely likes strange things.
“Curtains open,” Roy said, and suddenly the room was bathed in light bouncing off the mirrors after coming inside from the huge window.
“Rindi, Su go take care of your morning bathroom things, I want to talk with Candy a few minutes,” Roy ordered them.
Rindi giggled and told me to enjoy myself, Su smiled and grabbed Rindi’s hand as they walked naked from the bedroom, into the big bathroom. That bathroom is bigger than my moms entire living room.
“I have the impression that you aren’t happy here with us,” Roy isn’t pulling any punches this morning. “I am wondering if it’s just homesickness, getting used to new surroundings or something else? We are your friends and if something is bothering you it bothers us. If you tell me the truth we can try to find a solution?”
How can I tell him I have fallen in love with him but can’t stand sharing him with other girls? Rindi doesn’t seem to mind, so why do I? Maybe it’s because she knows that for him it’s only a physical thing. That was what she said months ago when Roy made love to me that first time, just enjoy it but don’t get attached because he belongs to me. Shit! Roy was the first guy to give me an orgasm, the first to lick my pussy, he even shaved a pussy cat design on it using my pubic hair. He was only the second guy ever to fuck me and the first to make me orgasm from that fuck.
“It’s my problem,” I tell Roy, I decided to tell him the truth. “I’m jealous of Rindi, I feel like I might be in love with you and at the same time, I can’t have you all to myself.” I never had to share at home, being an only child, I never had too.” I admitted all this to Roy. I felt almost like crying.
“Rindi was jealous the first time, you and I had sex but remember she said you were her best friend, she still feels the same way you know. She loves all three of us. I would really hate to lose any of you but I told you yesterday you need to do what’s right for you.” Roy told me.
“I don’t know what that is?” I admitted to him as well as to myself.
“That makes sense,” he told me, “We are all still young and trying to plan our futures. Why don’t we just play it by ear for now, continue to do what we like with each other, sexually or not, your choice?” Roy told me. He always likes giving choices to everyone.
“I am a bit horny this morning,” I admitted to him then. “Think you can help me out with that situation.”
“Top or bottom, your choice?” He asked.
I just said he likes giving us choices. I giggled and said “top.” Cowboy style is still my favorite position as I feel more in control and can speed up or slow down when I want too.
Roy kissed both my boobs and licked my nipples, he started lightly massaging them as I moaned in pleasure as his wonderful fingers increased my feelings of horniness.
My nipples aren’t as big as Rindi’s and much smaller than Su’s abnormal silver dollar sized nipples, but damn do they get stiff when Roy plays with them. Right now he wanted me to get maximum enjoyment since he wasn’t sure if he would ever get another chance to have sex with me again.
He lightly pulled on each nipple, fondling them gently and rolling them between his thumbs and fingers, tweaking the sensitive nipples and occasionally kissing and sucking on them, he kept on for nearly twenty minutes and for the first time ever I experienced a mind shattering boobgasm, not just the small boobgasms he had always given me.
“Holy Shit! I’m cumming!” I screamed out.
My pussy was leaking out liquid and I was moaning and gasping. Roy kissed my mouth and I kissed him back, he curled his tongue and pushed it in and out several times, we tongue fucked that way for several minutes. My breathing returned to normal, but damn that kissing had me more turned on than I had ever been before. My poor pussy was throbbing and leaking, I swear that if Roy doesn’t start fucking me soon, I’ll bite his damn cock off and use Rindi’s blush vibe to get off.
Roy asks me, “Are you ready to get on yet?”
“Hell no! I need to get off,” I answered him as I inserted his erection into my leaking twat and began humping and down rapidly. My first climax with that solid shaft sliding in and out happened as soon I plunged down, the second upward movement I made with my hips gave me another, I collapsed onto his hairy chest and lay totally still for several seconds. When I had caught my breath, I rotated my chest in small circles against his chest, his hairs tickling my nipples, then started sliding up and down his chest. Rindi calls this move gliding, it feels terrific. His erection is all the way up inside me, I don’t know what Roy is feeling but I can feel his cock way up to my belly button. He says it’s only six and a half inches long, but I bet the tip is inside my womb and my pussy is fluttering around it. Pulsing so fast pulling at his stiffness, my insides are doing things beyond my control, contracting and releasing so quickly I’m going to melt down at any moment.
Just when I think I’m about to reach my peak, Roy slides a lubricated finger into my ass and I explode with the biggest orgasm I had ever experienced before.
I fainted then, I collapsed and couldn’t move, my pussy was still throbbing and milking at Roy’s cock, he came inside me just as I was recovering and I fainted again with the overwhelming joy of it all.
He allowed me to just lie there on his chest until I had recovered enough to be in control of my own body again. Then his softened penis oozed out of my very wet cunt and liquids from both of us spilled onto those wonderfully soft bamboo sheets. We got up and stripped off the bedding to put in the wash and walked naked into the bathroom.
Su and Rindi were in the jacuzzi playing with each others boobs and asked us to join them. We soaked for about fifteen minutes, my well used pussy leaking out liquids into the frothy water the whole time.
Then I got into the shower while Roy went into the kitchen with Rindi and Su to make breakfast of pancakes and sausages with eggs hollendaise. It was a great morning for me. How can I ever give all this up?
I love all three of them, Roy is so special, and he and Rindi are the most generous people I have ever met. Su loves sex with Rindi almost more than she does with Roy, she probably will never leave either of them without a very damn good reason.
I know I don’t want to leave this house anytime soon either. What’s an eighteen year old girl supposed to do? When she hasn’t decided her next move? Should I attend some college classes? Rent an apartment? Start dating Kevin or Eddie? I was young and making great amounts of money from Roy’s generous partnership with all of us.
Shit, shit, shit, I won’t give up this lifestyle we have right now, not without a fight anyway. I wonder if Roy might change his mind about another guy living here with us? That would solve a big problem for me, a guy of my own I wouldn’t have to share with anyone.
Roy called out from the kitchen that my food will be fed to the seagulls in five minutes. Seagulls at a freshwater lake? There are usually a few around his dock, I think he may have raised them as chicks since they always follow him around when he is outside. Maybe the seagulls are hoping for hockey puck biscuits, he told us about them during our spring break, last March?
In the dining room, both naked girls are sitting on Roy’s lap, one on each side and he is alternating feeding all three of them one forkful at a time, he is naked too. The two girls are giggling and they look like baby birds as they open their mouths to get each bite. I sit down and start eating the amazing eggs benedict with the hollandaise sauce. The pancakes always taste so much better when Roy makes them, they are fluffier and sweeter than us girls make, even when we follow his instructions exactly. The sausage has just a tiny bit of tobasco to flavor it. Su sometimes dumps in way too much and Rindi won’t use it at all. The sausage patties melt in my mouth.
It’s nine forty-five when we get into the new gray vehicles to go to work, Su decides to ride with me since we are working the same hours, we are cooks now instead of waitresses, we don’t get tips or hourly pay, we get twenty percent of all pizza sales, Roy and Jack have to split their share with several other investors, while Su, Rindi and I, each get the full one fifth after expenses.
Another difference is we get to wear whatever we want, instead of the pirate wench outfits. Sometimes we wear them anyway and sometimes just normal clothes, jeans and t-shirts, sometimes I wear a bra, sometimes I don’t. My boobs are firm enough, they don’t need the support, besides Roy likes seeing the little nipples poking out from our shirts, in my case and the huge nipples of the other two girls. Since he agreed to meet Kevin today, I am wearing my green sheath mermaid dress I wore to prom and for the logo. With my green sports bra under it and green sneakers. I also brought jeans and a t-shirt to change into once Kevin left.
Roy had hurt my feelings when he told me my mom’s silver shoes clashed with the green dress, at prom back in March, and I had to punch his arm. He had picked me up and kissed my lips, sticking his tongue in my mouth.
My date Claude, said, “She’s with me,” and grabbed my arm leading me away from my friends.
Ten minutes later, I had asked him if he was willing to finally lick my hot little pussy?
He said, “No way! That’s just way too gross.”
I told him it was his loss, Roy would make sure I was taken care of. That was the last I ever saw of Claude the clod.
Back to today though, we got to Pirates Cove at ten fifteen, kids are lined up already waiting for Roy to open the doors for the five bouncy boats and unlock the fences from around the four giant slides. Each slide has four channels so four people can go at one time, there are gunny sacks at the top to sit on and there are three roller coaster type bumps on the way down the slides and they are fun. There are seats at the top of each slide for us supervisors to use as we hand out gunnysacks. Su and I had tried out the slides last weekend, Roy had taken pictures of us, he also had several of Rindi, where she was showing off her great boobs which had fallen out of her blouse, accidentally, she claimed.
Roy parked in his reserved spot and I parked just past all the handicapped spots in the first available regular space. Su and I got out, Roy is unlocking the restaurant door and the three of them went inside. Roy told me to text him when Kevin arrives and one of them will let us in.
Roy didn’t unlock the slides or the bounce boats right away as eleven o’clock was the time he had stated in the ads and brochures he mailed out in the weekly circulars. The kids and adults would just have to wait a while longer. Free slides and bounce houses, how many restaurants offer that? He said something about getting a carousel and checking into a few other rides that might attract families. He also had several tables arranged on the opposite side of the restaurant in a sort of greenbelt area, where he had hired a few people to make an artificial pond and there were a few ducks paddling around in it already.
Kevin pulled into the parking lot driving an older car, I don’t know much about different makes or models of cars, the one he drove looked great, it was painted to look like a giant cat of some kind. The rear end had CUDA written on it. The license plate said 1974 The two hood scoops were green eyes, the front grill looked like a mouth with pointed teeth and a pink tongue. The sides had giant paws with realistic claws sticking out, The convertible top had some sort of a large cat laying down, the back end was the tail.
I texted Roy telling him he really needed to see this car for himself.
A few minutes later he and Rindi came outside wearing their special pirate costumes, damn Roy looks spectacular, so does Rindi of course.
Kevin just stands next to me as Roy takes a few pictures of the incredible looking paint job.
“I did this design myself,” Kevin told us, “And Paul let me use the shop to paint it. When I got the Cuda for five hundred dollars it needed a whole lot of work, the engine had blown up on the owner when he tried to outrun several police officers. The guys at the shop fixed that but the paint, I did myself.”
“Is that a leopard or a jaguar?” Roy asked Kevin, he has a thing about big cats, he knows quite a bit about them too.
“It’s parts of several cats, the hood is a leopard, the claws are a panther, the top is a lynx and the tail is a jaguar.” Kevin told Roy.
There are many people wandering over just to look at Kevin’s car.
“We need to park your car next to our Escapes, maybe we can advertise both your art work and paint skills today,” Roy tells the handsome redhead. There are small letters advertising Gotcha’s speed and paint on all the vehicles tailgates.
He has Kevin park sideways taking up two parking spaces, he brings his Escape over and I drive mine over too. Jack and Sammy pulled in and Roy waved them over and they parked behind mine, it looked like one big ocean with three boats lined up end to end, and three mermaids. The four vehicles are taking up ten parking spaces and they looked amazing.
Roy let us inside the restaurant and Jack left us to check on the kitchen and Su. Juan the cook came in a few minutes later and so did several waitresses and our other cooks. Jack had called in everyone as we expected a busy day and needed extra help since nine people had to be outside supervising slides and bounce boats. We had all taken turns last weekend and would again today.
“Would you be more comfortable talking out here in a booth? or in my office?” Roy asked, giving Kevin his choice. “Maybe even outside by the new pond?”
“Here is just fine, sir,” Kevin said. He has good manners. That’s a point in his favor.
All of us sit in the special reserved booth for management. Rindi next to Roy and across from Kevin and myself.
“So tell me a bit about yourself and what I might be able to do for you?” Roy asked Kevin.
“Well, I’m not sure where to even begin?”
Kevin looked down at the table.”
“The beginning is always the best place to start?” Roy said.
Uh oh, Roy says if someone can’t look him in the eye, it means they are nervous, afraid or about to lie.
Kevin looked up from the table, glanced from Roy to Rindi, then at me, I smiled at him hoping to make him feel more comfortable and he smiled back.
“My friends call me Kev, or Red, I’ll be attending my second year of college in the fall, I just turned nineteen last month, May 18th. I work at Gotcha’s speed and paint, as an art designer.” Kevin tells us. “That Is, I work part time, when they have big jobs like yours was. Mostly, I sit at home and draw pictures.”
“We have the bounce boats outside, and the giant slides, it doesn’t take any special talent just patience with excited kids and crazed parents to make sure no one crowds in line, or gets hurt. We also might start delivering pizzas, we haven’t figured out all the details yet for delivery. We have the billiard room upstairs where one of our cooks supervises. I’d really like to get him back down here to cook, and get him a replacement up there,” Roy said. “I’m thinking of getting a carousel with various animals at some future point in time. Pirates Cove will be like a mini amusement park. The free slides and bounce boats will bring in plenty of kids and their families and when they all get hungry they will want something to eat, we won’t force them to eat in the restaurant, but the carousel and teacups and any other motorized rides will require a stamp proving they had purchased a meal. They can ride as often as they are willing to wait in line, I’m thinking most parents will want to leave as soon as possible once they have eaten.
If Kevin asks how much money he will make working here with us? I’ll kick him so hard he’ll limp for months, Roy says people looking for work that want to know wages right away are desperate and will leave if something better becomes available. He also doesn’t like discussing money since he doesn’t know a persons true value until he sees them in action.
“You live at home while attending college, any girl friends that will distract you or create problems?” Roy asked.
“No sir, in fact Candy is the first girl to ever give me her phone number, I guess I was a nerd in high school, and college girls want the guys who are going to be doctors or lawyers,” Kevin tells Roy.
Roy quickly pulls out his phone and finds his senior picture, hands Kevin the phone. “Take a look at that?” Roy says in a questioning kind of voice. “Tell me what you see? And call me Roy, not sir or maybe even Uncle Roy.”
“If this person had red hair, I’d say that he could be my brother, long blonde hair, tiger striped glasses, some shirt from the 1980s and pants from the 1970s, pimples and braces, you, Roy?” Kevin asked.
“Pizza face, nerd, tiger eyes, string bean, twat, cunt, brace face, and many others, the girls were worse than the boys with teasing him,” I told Kevin, since Roy was still looking at his phone.
Roy hands Kevin the phone again, “And this picture, what do you see here?” Roy asked.
“It’s a homely looking girl, pink owl shaped glasses, uncombed hair, braces, and pimples,” Kevin said and handed the phone back to Roy.
“Would you like to date a girl like her?” Roy asked, and Rindi nearly had a giggle fit. I glared at her, knowing the answer might be bad for Kevin if he said something stupid.
“Well, I don’t know if I would or not, I’ve never met her so I don’t know if we have anything in common either?” Kevin said.
What a good answer, I think to myself. Roy can tell a lot about a persons values by certain responses, he’s been teaching us all about reading people by what they say and their body language, he had some psychology courses in college, he had told us more than once.
Roy asked for Rindi’s golden locket with the before and after pictures from the improv play. He handed it to Kevin after opening it up.
“Now what do you see?” Roy asked Kevin.
Kevin didn’t say anything, he looked at Roy, then at Rindi, looked at the locket, looked at me, I shrugged my shoulders at him and smiled encouragement.
“You two are so amazing together, maybe I needed to see this, my confidence was zero in high school, not much better now. I used art to escape. College isn’t really helping me much, I could teach more about art than my teachers seem to know and an art degree isn’t worth much anyway.” Kevin said this without shame or brag.
“Many times I asked myself similar questions,” Roy said, “I took economics, accounting, computer programming all that my freshman year, then my parents died and my life fell apart, I had a girl live with me for a year, big mistake. I wasn’t lonely during that year, only miserable. She moved out and I took a bunch of fun classes, photography, cooking, psychology, I almost signed up for a class where all they did was watch old episodes of the tv show Star Trek, but didn’t really want to waste my money. The point is do what makes you happy, We can definitely use you here, can you start today? We all take two hour shifts at the bouncy houses and slides, then we rotate so the wait staff can go out and supervise so they all have equal chances for tips inside and everyone who works here gets one meal free every day, including choice of dessert. Oh and if you order the five pound lobster, you’re fired.” Roy added.
“I don’t remember seeing lobster on the menu,” Kevin said, apparantly not realizing Roy had just hired him. I kicked him lightly and told him to forget lobster and say thank you. He reminds me quite a bit of Roy by saying stupid shit and not realizing it.
“Yes sir, I mean, yes Uncle Roy, I’m fairly good at pool and I watch my younger brother and sister when my parents go out so I know a bit about kids too. Where do you want me to start?” Kevin asked Roy.
Roy checked his phone for the time, it’s ten fifty, he asks me if I am going to sit on my cute little ass all day or go help Su in the kitchen make pizza crusts?
I blushed a bit and hurry to go change into my jeans and t-shirt. Then I am in the kitchen making up for lost time, fortunately Su and three other cooks had an assembly line going so there were about thirty already cooked pizza crusts and over a hundred salads ready to be served.
I hugged Su and apologized, she said something in Korean. “Meongcheonghan nyeon,” which I am sure is her way of saying I am her favorite person and best friend. Roy told me later it means stupid bitch. I got busy then tossing pizza crusts.
Roy talked to Jack about who would be the first nine waitresses to supervise outside, Jack had hired all the girls and a few guys and sets up the schedules for all of us except Su and myself. Roy says depending on how fast we make the crusts our hours will vary. We start at 10:30 instead of eleven and can leave anytime we have at least five hundred pizza crusts ready to cook. It takes us almost eight hours between five of us. Each crust takes us about two minutes to make.
Roy unlocked the restaurant doors first then went outside and unlocked the bouncy boats and gates to the slides.
