According to family legend, my grandfather made serious money in his thirties. He decided to retire from the big city and move to a seaside town with a growing reputation as a surfing paradise. The intention was that my father, who was eleven at the time, would have the ultimate childhood. He bought a big house overlooking the bay and invested money in holiday homes, bars, and restaurants.
Grandad quickly became a mover and shaker in the town, and as a side-effect, my father became a catch. My mother, who was the queen of the year above him, took his virginity on his sixteenth birthday and six months later, fell pregnant with me. Grandad was not happy, but supported them in getting married. He also helped my father in carving out a career for himself.
The fact that he didn't get higher qualifications wasn't a problem, as Dad was an IT wizard. Initially, he helped local businesses with computers and broadband. As he got more experienced, Grandad helped him with his contacts in the city, getting decent contracts and staying cheap. Dad stayed in the spare rooms of many of his old friends during the week.
Initially, Dad left on Monday on the first train, returning on Friday evening. Over time, this time got shorter and shorter, sometimes only twenty-four hours at home.. Eventually, my parents gave up trying to patch up their relationship. They got divorced around the time I was nine. We were living in a big house overlooking the bay close to Grandad. As part of the divorce, Dad signed over his half of the house to me in trust with Grandad.
Mum remarried almost immediately to a guy who had spent much time at the house in the last few years. He thought he was marrying a pot of gold, but it turned out differently. To stay living there, he had to be good to me; otherwise, the house would be sold, and I would live with my grandparents with a nice trust fund. I ended up with two step-sisters, much younger than me. It was all good.
Over the next ten years, I saw my father around twenty times a year. Most of this was related to the sports team we both supported. He got hold of season tickets at weekends, and when there were home games, I would make the trip up on the train. He started living in a small one-bedroom flat, but after a couple of years, he moved into the penthouse apartment where he and Sophie now live.
After the move, I became aware that he had girlfriends. They were rarely there in person, but the toiletries in the bathroom and the flimsy underwear in the washing basket were a giveaway. Ok, I was a bit of a pervert when I was younger, but what horny fourteen-year-old isn't going to check out the silk knickers or bra of their potential stepmom. I thought I was pretty standard.
The big thing with the girlfriend was the summer holiday. Dad explained that one of his clients could not pay their bill for some software his firm wrote. So he got two weeks a year in a luxury villa with its private pool instead. It was set in a complex with bars, restaurants, and bigger pools. I would spend my time playing in the big pool with kids who came every year and sneaking into the villa to catch Dad's girlfriend topless.
Initially, there was Debbie, blond and big-chested. Then we had Helga, the ice maiden who walked around in a thong, white-haired and flat-chested. After that came Alice, a brunette who shouted at me when I saw her tits. Each year was the same. Dad got a new girlfriend just before Christmas, occasional sights of her in April and May and then the holiday in July. Shortly after that, they split up.
I always figured it was me. The only similarity of the girlfriends was that they were twenty-seven. Dad explained that she would understand his lifestyle and be ready to live together at that age. However, each year, I got a little closer in age to his girlfriend as the gap to him got bigger. Finally, when Sophie arrived, and he got married, she was closer in age to me than him.
I would say that Sophie was the best. Unfortunately, she had lost both her parents, and she was an only child. As a result, she was keen to know me from the start. We got on well. She even helped me with problems I had with girls. She also guided me on fashion. She was more like a big sister than a prospective stepmom. We hugged a lot, and she persuaded Dad to keep my bedroom for me, with clothes I just wore in the city.
I should also point out that Sophie was easily the hottest girlfriend he had. She worked out quite a bit. She did Pilates and Yoga, so she was very flexible and graceful. Her breasts were neither too big nor too small, and her nipples seemed permanently erect. She also had the habit of wearing slightly too few clothes. On the summer holiday, she went topless the whole time and didn't cover up when I came back.
She also didn't break up with Dad like every other girlfriend in August. She was still there the following Christmas. She even came to Grandad's for Christmas dinner. My grandparents loved her too, and we were all happy when Dad explained they would be getting married in the following May. Dad swapped his two weeks in the summer for one week in May. I was the best man, and it would be just seven of us at the ceremony.
It was my last year in school, so I was studying hard. As a result, I only went for the weekend with my grandparents. Sophie's two best friends, Zena and Claire, were there all week. They were the same age as her. It was amazing the day before for a nineteen-year-old boy. I was sunbathing with three hotties, all topless. Even Grandma was in a bikini, and life was good.
On the day itself, the ceremony and dinner afterwards were grand. We all drank too much champagne, and after it got dark, Zena, Claire, and I got an Uber back to the villa, leaving the two married couples in town. We were all drunk when we got back, we moved on to shots, and all of a sudden, the hot tub was fired up. The two girls stripped off and goaded me into getting in the tub naked with them,
