It is simply amazing how a young woman's breasts can be full and heavy, and yet, defy the law of gravity while remaining enticingly soft and jiggly with her every movement. Such was the defining moment when Mandy, my date set up by our fathers, flashed me her incredible bare tits, indelibly burning this cock-stirring vision into my memory. But I am getting ahead of myself and should start this tale when my cell phone rang and I saw that it was my dad calling me.
"Oh fuck," I said to myself, "It's dad. What did I do wrong now...or...what does he want from me?"
Hey, don't get me wrong. I love my dad and would do anything for him. He has been supportive of me throughout my life and asked very little in return. When my mom suddenly passed away due to Covid, he was my rock and helped me adjust to a life without her.
Instead of holding me close to him during his mourning and subsequent life as a widower, dad unselfishly encouraged me to fly from the family's nest of our four-bedroom family home in upper Manoa valley. He even went so far as to help me find a place on the edge of Waikiki through his numerous contacts. As he put it, a young man who was still in his twenties, needed to sow his wild oats without his dad looking over his shoulder.
Dad never once mentioned his own loneliness in our empty family house. He simply focused on being there for me when I was in a pinch, offering his sage advice when asked, and always doing whatever I needed of him.
"Nicolas (damn it, he's using my formal name...what the hell is he going to ask of me now), "I need to ask a favor of you (shit, dad seldom asked anything of me...much less as a favor). I have a major East Coast vendor by the name of. Mark Machado, who distributes my Island spices and salt products. Our partnership has been profitable for both of us, and we hope to expand it in the near future.
"Anyway, Mark just flew into the Islands with his wife, Emma, and his daughter, Mandy. He shared that his daughter has just graduated from Boston University and had applied for acceptance into the master's program of the university's Travel Industry Management (TIM) program in the Fall.
"Mandy, it seems, is Mark's one and only daughter, and he is a 'bit' overprotected and controlling when it comes to her. The fact that she is moving five-thousand miles away and will be on her own without family or friends, has made Mark...ah... extremely anxious. As a result, he and his wife, Emma, decided to 'accompany' Mandy on her exploratory visit to the Islands.
"This didn't sit well with his rather independent ('stubborn and willful' might be a better way of putting it) daughter. Eventually, Mandy agreed to let her parents tag along when they promised to pick up the trip's tab, got a hotel room for her, and gave her time and space...if you know what I mean?
"In our previous conversations, I must have mentioned to Mark that you had graduated from the TIM program. I know I bragged that you had worked in the travel industry, and at the ripe old age of twenty-nine, you have been hired for a new tourism position with the State government. Mark asked me to ask you if you could..."
"Let me guess? You figured that I since have some free time before I start working at the start of the new fiscal year you want me to show this guy's daughter around the TIM program and university. But sorry, dad...I hate to inform you that it's the weekend, and the campus including the college is empty."
"So, you can take her on Monday, and I know that she and her parents...especially her father...would be grateful if maybe introduce her to some of the college's faculty and staff, and have them sell the graduate TIM program. You might want to show her the Manoa campus and its amenities."
"Okay, okay, I can do that. I'll act as an intermediary and campus tour guide to this spoiled brat. Is there anything else?"
"Well...since you asked, Mark confided in me that ...how did he put it...oh, yeah...'Paul, I don't like the thought of my one and only daughter traipsing around an unfamiliar Oahu (Oh, fuck, I said to myself, here it comes). It seems that my little girl wants to try body surfing. Evidently, she saw some YouTube videos on it. However, the waters around Boston and much of the upper East Coast aren't exactly conducive to body surfing. As I recall, you once mentioned that your son was into body surfing, and I thought...'"
"Okay, okay, enough already. If you keep laying it on, I'm liable to drown in all of this 'B.S.' So, how do I hook up with this girl? With my luck, she'll be a dog...or should I say bitch...with a zero personality...ugly...and spoiled rotten. Oh, the things I do for my poor old dad, hmmph!"
"Say again? The things you do for me? Hmmph to you! All I ask is that you remember that no matter how she may come across at first, Mandy has had to deal with an overly protective father who makes me look like a saint. I personally think the girl wants to do her graduate work at Manoa to escape her parents. I mean she is moving from the East Coast to Hawaii that's in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
"I don't know what she looks like, and only know that she's twenty-two and just received her bachelor's in business from Boston University. From what her dad tells me, Mandy has a mind of her own...headstrong and assertive...almost to the point of being argumentative as he puts it. She says that she's looking to discover the real non-touristy side of Hawaii...whatever that means.
"Here's Mandy's cell phone number. Call her and chat...and figure out what to do with her before she flies out five days from now with her mom and dad. I know I don't have to tell you this but her father represents a big business opportunity for your old man...so, at least try to be pleasant to Mark's little girl. Okay?"
"Okay, but if this Mandy turns out to be some rich entitled 'Karen,' you'll never hear the of it from me..."
"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Enough with the threats and projections of doom. Give the poor girl a chance, and do this one for your old dad. I'll really appreciate it. And after all, it wouldn't hurt you to spend some time with a young woman who isn't Korean...and won't cause one of your rather spectacular 'crash-and-burns.' Aiyah!"
"Enough, dad! Let it go..."
"Nicholas Chun...all I'm asking of you is to be as 'nice' as you can to this Mandy Machado for the next couple of days. Is that too much to ask? Who knows? I've never seen you hang around with a Portuguese girl...try it...you might like her."
"Sigh! Okay, dad, enough! I owe you big time. I'll do my best...and as you've said I've never gone out with a Portuguese girl before. It might prove interesting...hmmm."

"Hi, Mandy! I'm Nick Chun. My dad who has a business relationship with your father, mentioned that you had applied to the graduate program in travel industry management from the University of Hawaii at Manoa. He 'suggested' that I show you around and possibly introduce you to the program's faculty and staff..."
"Ah, Nick. I know that this will sound...awkward...but I'm twenty-two and don't exactly need you to be my chaperon. I mean it's bad enough that I have my mom tagging along wherever I go...but...to have my dad schedule my 'me- time' and social arrangements...."
"Mandy, let me be perfectly honest with you...yes, I was 'asked' by my father to show you around that Manoa campus, the Shidler Business College. and especially its TIM program. That's because I am a TIM graduate and know what I'm talking about since I graduated with honors from the program, have experience in the travel industry, and have just been hired for a tourism marketing position with the State's tourism program which will start with the new fiscal year in July.
"That being said, I owe my dad big time for supporting me when my mom passed away and for encouraging me to leave him...even if he'd be alone... so that I could have a life of my own. While he can be somewhat manipulative...like all parents...I know that he has my well-being and interest at heart.
"You are a 'small' way that I can repay a portion of my obligation to my father and help him out with your father. I am not kidding when I say that I know the workings of the TIM program, and am willing to introduce you to its faculty and staff...which will make your life a whole lot easier. But, hey, if that bothers you that I am offering to use 'my free time' to time help you out ...you can forego the assistance that I am offering you and learn things the hard way. It's up to you, Mandy."
"Okay, okay, back off, Nick. I didn't mean to insult you or your dad. I know that I came across as snarky to you, but it's just that my dad... as you said... can...nah, is rather...overprotective and controlling when it comes to me. I get somewhat defensive when he tries to run my life. Still, I am sorry for how I reacted to your offer...it was a knee-jerk reaction to my father's meddling. As much as he takes pride in me, he often refers to and treats me like an...how does he put it...a stubborn and impetuous child who doesn't appreciate what she has."
"Hey, Mandy, don't forget that at least he cares and has gone out of his way to ensure that you're safe and looked after. Hawaii is...well...it ain't Boston. It is an entirely different world...with its up and especially downs. This place is more diverse than you've ever experienced...a strange blending of different peoples, cultures, and ways that you've never encountered on the East Coast. Not to scare you, but it is easy to inadvertently offend someone or their customs and culture.
"Heck, we speak pidgin English which is a blending of the different languages so that us 'locals' can communicate with each other. I guarantee pidgin English is something that outsiders like you cannot understand. If you tried to blend in, you'd be put down for being a 'dumb haole'...Hawaiian for Caucasian...even though you're Portuguese or in local talk 'Portagee,' of which there are plenty in the Islands. You'd be just another clueless haole girl who would be the butt of jokes...or at worse, a 'target of opportunity...if you know what I mean."
"Nick," Mandy interjected heatedly, "I have been on my own while attending Boston University. Believe me...I can handle myself...and those whom I socialize with."
"Boy, your father is right. You sure are 'hard-headed and deaf-ear' (stubborn and unwilling to listen)."
