Even if I do say so myself I managed OK for a first timer, little Phoebe had a smile on her face again so she was happy. Although the bathroom looked like a bomb had hit it, there was talc and wipes and all kinds of stuff everywhere. Clare laughed like mad when she saw me, there was nearly more talc over me.
I put phoebe to bed and joined the others; Lisa was still fast asleep, obviously tired out after the last couple of days.
I lifted her from the couch and carried her to her room, Stacy and Clare proceeded to strip her and put her to bed.
Clare suggested that we have Phoebe in our room to give Lisa a rest; I agreed and carried out the cot.
The next morning I was woken up by little Phoebe; she wanted some breakfast, but neither Clare nor I could supply what she needed so I headed out to Lisa's room.
"Lisa, Lisa wake up darling." I whispered, Lisa responded in a very slow morning stretch which resulted in the sheet covering her dropping off her chest, revealing her gorgeous breast's to me for the second time in two days.
"Morning Dave, It would appear that I'm flashing you again!" She said with a grin.
"Lisa, I'm sorry to wake you up, you looked so peaceful sleeping there, but little Phoebe has other idea's she needs a feed." I said.
Lisa proceeded to climb out of bed, to my surprise she was totally naked and did not seem the slightest bit bothered that I was there. In fact she walked straight out of her room to mine and Clare's room and proceeded to feed little Phoebe without another word.
For the first time, we all sat around the table eating breakfast. I had to admit Clare had done a wonderful job furnishing the penthouse, even if she did spend a little more than I had originally planned.
"Dave, are you sure that it's ok for me and Lisa to stay here?" Stacy asked.
"Of course it is Stacy; I would not have told you that you could stay if we didn't mean it." I replied.
"But we can't really afford to pay much rent, what with little Phoebe and everything." Lisa chimed in, thankfully now wearing some clothes.
"Oh yeah, the rent I forgot to mention the rent. I was thinking that obviously this is the Penthouse and it is very well appointed. The property alone cost $750,000. I was thinking of asking around $1 a year." I said with a large grin.
"Fuck Me! A $1! Are you kidding me?" Lisa asked, rather stunned.
"You won't need to ask him twice, so be careful." Claire said laughing.
"No Lisa, I'm not kidding. I know that sounds stupidly low, but there are other costs that you will need to cover yourselves. Electric, Gas and also the building maintenance fee. I know you two, sorry three will love it here and I'm sure you will look after the place." I said.
Stacy and Lisa both hugged me. That was the first part of the trip taken care of, just need to see the realtor and sort out the sale of our old house. I rang Frank Keel and arranged an appointment for later in the day.
Clare and Stacy decided we needed more food and some other bits and pieces and went to the local store to stock up. Just then the internal phone rang; it was the building security officer. "Mr. Phillips, this is Jake from security."
"Hi, what can I do for you?" I answered. Jake continued "Just to let you know, some joker has parked a beet up Toyota in one of your allocated spaces, the recovery company will be hear soon to tow it. I hope this doesn't inconvenience you too much."
I had to laugh, it was Stacy's car. "Jake, no that's fine, it belongs to a friend of mine, the dealers will come and take it away. It's only a temporary car." I replied.
"Oh sure, that's fine Mr. Phillips. I'll drop off a couple of parking permits for you." Jake said.
I had not really thought about it before, but there was going to have to be a few changes to allow Lisa and Stacy to fit in to the building. And the rather old Toyota Stacy drove was going to be first. I was due to see Frank Keel in about three hours. I rang an old friend of my dad's and asked if I could meet up with him.
"Hell boy, of course you can. It's been too long since you came and visited uncle red." Red said. Red Baker was one of my Fathers oldest friends and as such had become Uncle Red. Red just happened to own the local Toyota dealership.
When I arrived at the dealership Red came bounding out to meet me, grabbed my hand and continued to shake it like he was trying to kill a rattle snake.
"Dave, god damn your looking well son, but I should kick your ass for not visiting before now." Red said laughing.
"I'm sorry Red, but what with the accident and everything I'm only just getting back on my feet." I replied.
"Sure I know, what can I do for you today?" Red said getting straight to the point as usual.
"I need to buy a new Toyota, for a friend of mine, but I'll need you to take care of everything on the car, all the maintenance and even down to detailing it now and again. All costs will be met by me." I said.
"Ok, no problem Dave, what you looking for? Anything in particular?" Red asked.
"Yeah, a family sized car maybe a corolla? It doesn't need to be anything grand. But I need it delivered this afternoon." I replied.
"OK let's take a look see, yeah this should fit the bill, come take a look." I followed Red out of his office to the lot out back; he pointed me towards a lovely baby blue model.
"That will do nicely, can you deliver it about 3pm? I need you to scrap her old Junker as well if that's ok."
"Sure Dave, no problem at all. But you better not leave it so long before you visit me again." Red said.
I was really happy that Red was able to help me out -- there is now way that Stacy would have been able to afford a new car, especially on the money that she earned. I arrived at Frank Keel's office a couple of minutes late, but he was running a little late anyway.
"Dave, Good to see you. What can I do for you?" Frank asked as I sat at his desk,
"Frank, I need a few things taken care of. First Mom wants to sell the old family house; we have decided to move out West." I answered,
"Well isn't the world a funny place?" Frank continued "I had a call from some people the other day that just missed out on a property around the corner from your house, asking if there was anything in the pipeline. They need to move in a hurry to start new jobs."
"Well give them a call Frank; we need to sell the place pronto." I said.
"On top of that, I need you to contact Copper Reese, I need to get myself some work and I would like to start up my own garage out west. I need some land to build or an existing garage."
Frank replied" Sure Dave, I guess you need to look to your future. I'll get onto them as soon as I can. I'll give you a call in a couple of days."
I said goodbye to Frank and made my way back to the Penthouse. When I got back the place was empty -- all quiet. Lisa had left a note saying that she had gone to visit some friends with Phoebe.
Stacy and Clare had not returned either so I took the chance to take a nice long soak in the huge Jacuzzi bath. I had the music blaring and some bear on the side, sheer bliss. I must have drifted off to sleep, but I was certainly woken up in a very nice way.
