The backdoor slid open with a creak, and in walked Bill, shedding his work clothes and tie as he went. He made a beeline for the kitchen, grabbing a well-deserved beer from the fridge. As he twisted off the cap, he couldn’t help but notice the movement outside by the pool.
Through the sliding glass door, he saw his daughter, Sarah, and her best friend, Lucy, soaking up the sun on inflatable rafts. Their laughter filled the air, creating an inviting atmosphere that called out to him. Heading outside, Bill plopped down in a nearby chair, trying his best to sound casual.
“How was your day, girls?” he asked, taking a long pull from his beer.
Sarah rolled her eyes, “Oh, you know, the usual. Boring as hell.”
Lucy chimed in, “At least we got to come home and relax by the pool. You’re lucky, Mr. J.”
Bill chuckled, “Yeah, I guess I am. But don’t call me ‘Mr. J’, Lucy. It makes me feel old.”
Sarah snickered, “You are old, Dad. But don’t worry, we still love you.”
Bill feigned hurt, “Ouch, Sarah! That hurts.”
Lucy smirked, “Don’t worry, Mr. J. We’ll take care of you. You can be our pool boy for the day.”
Bill raised an eyebrow, intrigued, “Oh really? And what will that entail?”
Sarah grinned wickedly, “Well, for starters, you can fetch us drinks. And maybe give us a little shoulder massage.”
Bill laughed, “You drive a hard bargain, Sarah. But I think I can handle it.”
As Bill got up to get their drinks, Sarah and Lucy exchanged a look. They both knew they’d gotten him wrapped around their little fingers.
Bill returned with their drinks, and Sarah said, “Thanks, Dad. You’re the best.”
Lucy added, “Yeah, you really are. Even if you are a little old.”
Bill shook his head, but he couldn’t help but smile. He was happy to be their pool boy for the day, even if it meant putting up with their playful jabs. The sun beat down on them, and the drinks kept coming. Bill found himself massaging their shoulders, as they requested, and before long, the atmosphere grew more flirtatious.
Sarah looked up at her dad, her eyes gleaming with mischief, “Dad, can you help me with something?”
Bill leaned in, “Of course, Sarah. What do you need?”
Sarah pouted, “I dropped my sunglasses in the pool. Can you get them for me?”
Bill chuckled, “Sure thing, princess.”
As he dove into the pool, Sarah and Lucy exchanged a look. This was going better than they had planned.
The rest of the day continued in a similar fashion, with Bill playing the part of the doting pool boy. He fetched drinks, gave massages, and even participated in a water fight. The flirtatious banter between them all added to the excitement of the day, and Bill found himself enjoying every moment.
As the sun began to set, Sarah and Lucy thanked Bill for his service.
Lucy grinned, “You really are the best, Mr. J.”
Sarah added, “Yeah, thanks, Dad. You’re always there for us.”
Bill smiled, “It was my pleasure, girls. I’m just happy to spend time with you both.”
With that, they all headed inside, the day coming to a close. But Bill couldn’t shake the feeling that this was only the beginning of their playful dynamic. And he was more than okay with that.
