TIME MARCHES ON... changes (Part 122i)

TIME MARCHES ON... changes (Part 122i)

The decision to put off showing Celia the appraisal until after Elle and I went to see the grand opening of the tennis academy was because I wanted to enjoy my time there and not be remembering the sadness that I knew would be Celia’s reaction. The kids, as usual, went to Elle’s mother’s house. We took off around 8am hoping to arrive at Fred’s in-laws by 10am. Being a Saturday we had no traffic and arrived to find their driveway just about filled with cars. I didn’t know what to think hoping that there hadn’t been a problem. Not to worry. Fred’s father-in-law was a major investor in the new academy and he’d invited some other investors over so they could all arrive at the same time. In a way it was sort of funny. I’d been to this house at least a half dozen times and to their Summer home an equal number of times and had never met the man. In fact, I’d only met the lady of the house twice. To say I was a bit intimidated was to put it mildly. It took a few minutes for Elle and I to connect with Fred and Liz and that took some of the pressure off. Shelly, Liz’s sister who was the manager of the facility, had already left to make sure everything was ready for all the hoopla. There was to be a big announcement right before the ribbon cutting and even Fred and Liz didn’t know what it was. There truly was a lot of excitement all around.

We all arrived at the facility around 11:30am. I felt somewhat like royalty as we were directed to a special parking place and then to a roped off area just to the right of the doors where there was a big red ribbon stretched across them. There was a photographer and what turned out to be newspaper reporters on the other side of the doors. When noon came there was a real air of excitement. Liz’s father moved over in front of the doors with the other investors following and began talking to the people who’d gathered. I couldn’t really hear him as he was facing the crowd but after a few minutes he called for one of the other people in our group to join him. The man was introduced and there was a loud cheer and clapping that followed. Fred and Liz couldn’t hear either. What it turned out to be was the man who was introduced was a very famous tennis player from Australia. He was hired to run the facility with a goal of training young tennis players and, with it having indoor courts, the training could go on year round. Right after all that was explained he called for two young females that had been in our group to join him. It turned out that they too, were from Australia. The man stated that he had persuaded them to come with him and were the first to sign up at the academy under his tutelage.. He closed by saying that they would be the ones playing in the exhibition match.

We learned a lot more about them after the ribbon was cut and the doors were officially opened. Still among the “elite”, we were led to a cordoned off area where the main tennis court was located. There were bleacher seats on one side and after we were seated it only took a few minutes for the area to fill up. Both of the girls were cute and were wearing really short tennis dresses. We were seated in the second row and about 20 feet from mid court... a perfect spot for peeks. They were introduced and their names were Kerry and Karen... and even though they were young (19 & 18), they were very good. This was the first time that Elle and I had actually witnessed a “real” tennis match and we were fascinated. On the one hand I was intimidated by how good they were but was actually inspired to think about actually trying to learn how to play the game for the sake of the game and not just for the panty peeks.

As invited guests Elle and I were included in the small cadre of people who got to meet the players. It was then that I realized that Kerry had been at the facility, practicing, when we’d been there the first time. Both the girls were very shy as were Elle and I in their presence. To top it all off we were included in the group who went to eat at a famous restaurant that was just down the street. Ironically, I’d been there back when I was in 7th grade. I’d been invited to one of my classmate’s birthday party and it was held at the same restaurant. His aunt owned it. It was during the dinner that we found out that Liz’s parents were sponsoring both the girls who had aspirations (and supposedly the talent) to be good enough to win one or more of the major women’s tennis tournaments. On top of that, Kerry was actually staying at their house. I was very impressed!

When we left home I fully expected to be back in time to eat supper. As it turned out we didn’t leave for home until after 8pm. Because we’d driven to the ceremony with Fred and Liz we were “captives” of a sort. Elle, because she didn’t know how the day was going to play out, chose to wear a full package; sanitary pad, heavy cotton panties, another pad and another pair of the cotton panties with a pair of plastic over them. The problem with wearing the plastic panties was that they didn’t “breathe” but it was a small price to pay to avoid embarrassment.

Elle survived without incident until the exhibition match was over. There was no chance for her to get to the ladies room and while we were waiting to meet the players she couldn’t hold it any longer. I knew she was about at her time limit and the way she was moving about as we waited told me what was about to happen. I knew she’d brought "spares" and actually had them in her pocketbook but when she finally made it to the bathroom to change it was very crowded. On top of that she noticed the space under the doors to the stalls was quite high and, to change completely she was afraid that people could see her taking her panties off and replacing them so decided to just pull the wet pads out and replace them. That meant that for the rest of the time we were at the academy she was in wet panties. However, I didn’t know that at the time. She didn’t complain and went with the flow. It wasn’t until after arriving at the restaurant that she was able to put on dry panties. I learned all the details on our way home. Before we left Liz’s parents house Elle took the plastic panties off. It was hard to concentrate as Elle had pulled her skirt up to let her privates “air out“, sitting there with her panties showing. Every time I tried to take a peek she’d tell me to keep my eyes on the road. Even though we were both tired from a long and exciting day we closed it out with some very private pleasures.
