"Ooof, there, I think that will do it," Steffany said, putting the last of the luggage in the SUV. The dark-haired 18-year-old turned to her sister Dominica and smiled. "I'm so excited that we're off to college and we'll be roommates."
The two girls had been born a week apart, and their parents jokingly called them "the twins." They were thick as thieves. Steffany was a vivacious, extroverted head-turner with her mother Marlene's good looks, and a trim, athletic frame. She'd won a full scholarship for soccer, and everyone called her Steff, except her sister who called her Steffy or Sissy.
Her sister, Dominica, was Tiffany's daughter. She was older by a week and nicknamed Domino by most, or Sugarbear by her sister and their father, was also of clear Italian descent but through the genetic lottery of recessive genes had inherited her father's blue eyes. Domino was significantly more introverted than her sister but was just as pretty. She'd won a full academic scholarship and in addition to his blue eyes, had inherited her father's bookish personality.
Their father, Steve, pulled up in the car, returning from dropping their three younger sisters off so that he and the girls' mothers could drop them off at college.
He told the girls to make sure they had everything while he went to get their mothers.
As he went into the bedroom, Marlene and Tiffany were eating each other's pussies in a 69 position. After 19 years together, the women were experts in getting each other off quickly, efficiently and quietly.
He tugged at Marlene's foot, "Come on. We need to leave soon so the girls can have some daylight to acclimate themselves at school."
Marlene pouted, wanting him to join them for a quickie. Seeing the look on her face, he shook his head. "No, we don't have time for that. We can go to the beach house after we drop them off. Then we can do anything and everything you want. But, right now, the girls are the priority."
She scowled but knew he was right and brightened at the prospect of a long weekend at the beach house without the kids. He was a great father, and she was thrilled with the life she, Tiffany and Steve had made for themselves.
"Okay, okay. Just a quick five-minute shower, so we don't reek of sex on the drive."
He grinned, "Deal." and went to check that everything was secured.
"You girls did a great job packing," he told his two daughters.
"Thanks, daddy." they beamed together.
Marlene and Tiffany emerged from the house, and the two mothers and their daughters hopped in the SUV. Steve jumped into the car they were going to leave at school for the girls and followed them down the road.
Three hours later, they'd unpacked the girls' luggage in the dorm room, and were getting ready to say their goodbyes.
"Okay, girls," Marlene said as she embraced their daughters, "It's time for us to go. We moms are going to go down to the car so that your dad can slip you some extra cash as if that convertible we're leaving isn't spoiling you enough."
"Oh, mom," Steffany grinned, "Who are you to talk? I've seen jewelry stores with less inventory than you have."
Marlene's temper flared a little bit, but Tiffany kissed her quickly on the lips and laughed, "She got you, fair and square. And she's not wrong."
Dominica chimed in, "Give daddy a break. He's taken care of all of us, and never once missed a soccer game, dance recital, school play or academic decathlon."
"And let's not forget the noises he helps make coming out of that bedroom with you two," Steffany exclaimed.
Marlene realized she'd lost this particular round of ribbing, "Okay, okay, you win. Love you both." She hugged them both tightly, as did Tiffany and the moms made their exit.
Steve handed Steffany the keys, "Okay, let's go over the rules, you two."
"No smoking. And no drinking and driving. Ever.", Domino started.
"We can drink beer or wine in the room, but nothing stronger, provided we've opened it ourselves and not handed to us by a stranger," Steffany continued.
"Study hard, and remember that's it not all fun," said Dominica.
"But we're kids, and it's not all work either," Steffany finished.
Steve laughed, "So, you were listening to your dad after all."
"Always, daddy," they said in unison.
He hugged Steffany and whispered into her ear, "I know she's your big sister, but look out for her. She's not as street savvy as you are."
"Don't worry, dad. I will," Steffany promised solemnly.
He turned to his older daughter and hugged her as well, kissing her forehead, "Love you, Sugarbear. I know you'll study hard, but listen to your sister and have some fun, too."
Some tears were forming in Domino's eyes, as she embraced him, "I'll miss you, daddy."
Misty-eyed he took his leave of the girls and headed down to the waiting SUV.
Steffany started stretching her legs, "Ok, Sugarbear, want to go for a quick run around campus to get the lay of the land?"
"Sure," Dominica replied, "it'll help get the kinks out of my legs after the long drive."
Both girls had inherited their father's love for running and made a quick five-mile circuit of the campus. They got back to their dorm room and hopped into the shower together.
After showering and drying off, they wrapped themselves in towels and went to sit on the sofa and watch a little tv.
"You hungry, Sugarbear? What do you want on the pizza?", Steffany asked.
"Pepperoni and black olives," Dominica replied.
