TUCKERS ISLAND By Gail Holmes Chapter Twenty-Nine After the next fortnight was over all the girl’s had finished with the monthly dread, David was only just having sex again, but he be taught a lesson that he’d never ever forget. Paul and Royce never did know of his predicament, which was fine by him, but gentle was his prime actions on each of the girl’s Rodjana did give him a little nip now and again, it was their secret. All the equipment and tools etc; had arrived from the island, the jetty was built and the best part of their log cabin was nearly completed, last night they all had an around the fire supper, that’s about the time that phone rang Paul’s father called. They got on famously trouble was he was sending something mostly for the girl’s, women’s things, but there was a slight hiccup Bendy was coming, as his father informed him; he was a customer, all his wishes had to be granted, which Paul knew only two well. The next morning he knew he had to enlighten the twin’s and make them aware who he was, ahead of he’s arrival giving them both the chance to say yes or no to meeting him. “Bendy…that’s one hell of a funny name! Where did he get that from?” David laughed. “I’ll explain that later; but you do remember him, I should have explained the day that he came here!” Paul replied. “But I can’t see any predicament with him coming, he was as gold last time, so why the concern?” Penny implied. “Ok…let’s start with David’s question…why is he called Bendy; well his proper name is Benjamin, Bendy for more reasons than one is he’s nickname Bendy!” But grandfathers name was Benjamin, and his nickname as you call it, was Ben, why Bendy?” Jane asked. “I can’t go into that now…but what was you’re grandfather surname?” “Same as ours Tucker! Why ask, you already know that?” “Bendy’s name is also Tucker!” Royce cut in. “Is Tucker a common name in your part of the world?” Penny inquired. “No not really but Bendy is your grandfathers son” Paul replied, looking straight at the twins. “And you in actual fact are his daughters!” The room went very quiet, the twins looked at each other then at David; he looked back to Paul then Royce. “Maybe...but then he is a coloured person, as yourself! The twins grandfather was white?” David stated. “Point taken!” Royce smiled. “Bendy was an adopted child; does that answer your question?” “One other point! Why are the girls white with red hair?” “That’s also an easy one! Their mother is white with red hair, but if you look at them they’re not really as white as, say Elaine and Susan, more like Rodjana!” Paul smiled. “But surely if he’s coloured he’d have coloured children, I mean it stands to reason?” David related. “In a mixed racial marriage the colour of our skins is diluted if you like; that’s why Penny and Jane’s skin colour is more like Rodjana’s!” Royce stated. “But if this is so…why do you only now mention it, I mean you could or he for that matter could have said something on the day?” “We didn’t want to spring it on the girl’s, the way it is now they both had a chance to consider it!” Paul implied. “And he agreed to this?” Jane asked. “As to yet he doesn’t know that you’re both even alive, this is why we didn’t want you to be together whilst he was here” Paul replied. “You see if he’d have seen you together he would have twigged it straight away, two redheaded girls and twins to boot? Royce worked it out, but it’s up to you what you want to do?” “What kind of a man is he?” Penny asked. Paul sat down and held his hand out to Royce for him to continue knowing that he knew of Bendy that himself. “Very influential; he has bags of money and a very top ranking businessman!” “Where does he live?” Jane asked. “Wiltshire in England, I almost sure that you have a brother, he’d be older than the pair of you, and of course Bendy has a wife, your mother. But I don’t know her name” “Everything points to him being you’re father, the area that his daughters were lost, your grandfathers name and as Royce says you’re actual colouring” Paul confirmed. “We’ll meet him…but does this mean that he’ll whisk us off the England?” Jane looked to Penny then to Paul. “No at all; I mean you’re both over eighteen, he can’t make you do anything that you don’t want to. Plus there’s the island, and it’s laws, which I might add we haven’t written yet! Paul replied with a smile. The twins gave each other a kiss and a hug; Paul noticed that David was at somewhat of a loss as he watched the twins. “You do realise that this means that your parents can now be found, from what you told me, they we’re friends of the Tucker’s that’s why you we’re with their grandparents at the time!” Paul reminded him. “What time will he be arriving?” Jane inquired. “Eleven o’clock or there about’s, that’s two hours from now!” Paul smiled. Thankfully both the twins and David had now learnt how to tell the time; Paul had brought them each a watch from the main island. “One thing! All of you…tops, skirts and panties; there’s no way we want to wind them up!” Paul instructed them all. “Really…I mean us also?” Jane asked. “Particularly you two, he’s you’re father?” Paul stated. “Panties for all of us Paul, we have only two pair, how will we manage?” Rodjana asked. “Come on now…if I remember rightly, your three suit cases are in the hold, I’m sure you won’t mind sharing them with the twins. And you must have more than a few day’s supply between you?” Paul smiled. The girls rushed down to the hold, to collect the suitcases then made for the bedrooms.
