Chapter 114

I picked her up, grabbing her by her butt cheeks and we kissed for a while. My dick was back near her entrance and she was actually trying to reconnect, but I put her down and turned off the water.

We each had a towel, and we watched each other drying off. Her smile was all aglow. No doubt Joan had told everyone in the house what had likely happened. She gave me a kiss and wrapped the towel around her lithe frame and went to her room. I put her clothes in my hamper then changed into sweats and a T-shirt.

After coming back in the room, Jenn, and I fell asleep for the night, with me between the two of them.

We walked downstairs to see the others all finishing up their breakfast.

“Well, with the look on her face, it’s easy to tell what’s been going up in the master’s bedroom,” Tracy said. “From what Isabel told me, we need to start keeping track of how big Anna’s boobies get now.”

Anna looked up at me and giggled. “I will tell you later what she’s talking about, Miss Prefontayne. It’s all very scientific.”

She took hold of my hand and said, “Whatever you want, so do I, Michael. I’m really hungry.”

“Is anything left, or do I need to make me and my girlfriend here our own breakfast?”

That remark made Joan get up, “What do you want ... I will fix it? The one meal I know how to deal with in the kitchen is breakfast.”

“Here is the pill Anna needs to take to keep from getting pregnant,” Elizabeth said.

“Thank you, Miss Marvel. That’s very kind of you,” our visiting young lady said sitting down. “I sure did enjoy what we did. Thank you Jennifer and Isabel for sharing me with your guy.”

Everybody loved her innocent sounding remarks. I know I did. I sat by her as we waited for our breakfast. Joan and Tracy were working together to make us some food.

“What’s the plan for today?” Jennifer asked.

“The gang isn’t coming back to record until tomorrow. Today is a day off for everyone. Do what you want? School starts in ten days, so get your inner child reinvigorated because there are three shows all having auditions the first Saturday after school begins, Jackson Heights has OLIVER, Lincoln High has MAME and the GSS has CHICAGO as a full-blown show ... all needing to go on stage within six weeks.”

“Are you going to play Billy Flynn?” Joan asked me.

“I have given it some thought, but I sure wouldn’t mind somebody new coming along, either an existing guy or a transfer. I must admit that I do enjoy acting and singing, but the whole concept of the GSS is to give everybody a chance and not just have the same bunch of people playing all the juicy roles. Using that reasoning, Jenn and Izzy will need to audition for Velma and Roxie. Nobody will be handed a part, at least I hope I don’t do that.”

“Michael, is there a part I could try out for?” little Anna asked.

“Maybe, you need some work on really belting your songs, like you did back playing Annie. You have grown, but your voice needs to grow now. If that could happen, I see you possibly as Mary Sunshine. Maybe, while you are here, we could get my mother to help you sing using a more mature tone to your voice.”

“Cool,” she said. Our food was placed before us, and we started to chomp down on it.

“Anna,” her sister said, “Don’t eat so fast?”

“I’m hungry, deal with it, Joanie,” she said between bites.

“Don’t get mad at her,” I said. “She earned the food from the ... workout I gave her.” I put up my hand and got a high five from Anna.

After I was finished, I called Janice asking her to come over and help a student for me. She was out the door starting her car, before she hung up. She’s the best!

She knocked, but came right in. She looked around seeing Anna and Joan in the house. “Hello Mrs. O’Sullivan,” she said to her. “It’s me who Michael called you about.”

“So ... you have a full house these days, don’t you honey?” she said to me giving a light kiss on the lips.

“Yeah, James and Joanne decided to take a vacation, but only Zoe and Geena wanted to go with them. That got me two more pretty girls. Now, with my beautiful mother here, Stu and I are commpletely surrounded by gorgeous women.”

“Save that for your seraglio, Michael. So, why exactly am I here?”

“We were talking about the show CHICAGO, and Anna needs some help from the best voice teacher I could find. I suggested she could be Mary Sunshine. I have a score for you to play off of, to teach her the song “A Little Bit Of Good.”

“I can do that, but I need most of you to leave us alone. She won’t perform as well, with all of you watching her every move. Sit at the piano Michael, please?”

She took Anna and spoke to her quietly as the room started clearing out. I saw Joan slowly going up to her room. I sent her a text saying, “Don’t worry, she’s in good hands.” Her room door didn’t close.

She had me playing vocal scales and Anna was working hard. Her butter note was moving up the scale and she was doing better than I had expected, but she still wasn’t really opening up her throat the way mom was trying to get her to do.

I got up, taking her from mom, and said, “Have you ever really screamed at anyone, Anna. You were so mad or upset you just screamed.”

“No, I was taught not to yell ... it wasn’t ladylike, Michael.”

Mom chuckled at that. I got really quiet and said, “Pretend you are wanting to scream at me ... only this time you can. OK? But, don’t scream, sing instead ... can you try that for me?”

“Sure thing, Mike,” she said.

I got back to the piano, playing where we had left off. Mom looked at me, breaking into a smile, then we both listened to this little girl sounding potentially like Sutton Foster.

“Anna,” I said stopping her, “Remember the words to ‘Maybe’ you sang so well a few years back?”

“Yes, Boss ... I sure do?”

“Bear with us for just a moment, mom ... please?”

“Certainly, Michael ... go ahead.”

“Are you ready, Miss Prefontayne?”

“Any time you are, Boss!”

I motioned to Janice...

Maybe far away,

(“Oooohhh, my,” Janice said.)

Or maybe real nearby.
He may be pouring her coffee,
She may be straightening his tie.

(Brigitte walked out of her room looking and listening over the rail)

Maybe in a house,
All hidden by a hill.
She’s sitting playing piano,
He’s sitting paying a bill.{br}

(Joan came out in tears.)

Betcha they’re young.
Betcha they’re smart.
Bet they collect things
like ashtrays and art.

(Liz was as amazed as the rest of us.)

Betcha they’re good.
Why shouldn’t they be?
Their one mistake
was giving up me...
So, maybe now it’s time,
And maybe when I wake.
They will be there calling me “Baby”,

Maybe.

I stopped and opened my arms to this powerhouse that came from nowhere. She stopped and ran into my arms, giving me a nice kiss on the mouth. Joan ran down the stairs practically falling over to get to her sister who just Wowed everybody to their core. Now all she needs is to grow in height and get some curves. She has the potential to become better than anyone in this room, including my Jennifer!

After a time, Janice cleared everyone out again, and handed her the words and music to “A Little Bit Of Good,” a rather complex number with a fair amount of trilling, if possible...

When I was a tiny tot
Of maybe two or three
I can still remember what
My mother said to me...

Place rose-colored
glasses on your nose
And you will see the robins
Not the crows

For in the tense
and tangled web
Our weary lives can weave
You’re so much better off
If you believe...

(HOLY SHIT!)

That there’s a little bit of good
In everyone
In everyone you will ever know

Yes, there’s a little bit of good
In everyone
Though many times,
it doesn’t show

It only takes the taking time
with one another
For under every mean veneer
Is someone warm and dear
Keep looking...

For that bit of good in everyone
The ones we call bad
Are never all bad
So try to find that
little bit of good

Mom stopped us both, to hug this little girl, who went straight to my lap giving me a big hug followed by a bigger kiss. Mom’s hands went to her hips as she looked at me with a bit of disdain, but broke into a smile as Anna went back to her. “Thank you, thank you. oh thank you both so much so much ... I had no idea I could sing like that. You and Michael both have worked so hard to help me. Can we work a little longer before you have to leave, Mrs. O’Sullivan?”

“Call me Janice, dear. Of course we can work some more. I need to speak to Michael for just a moment first.”

She came over to me and said, “She is very grateful, isn’t she, Michael?”

“Yes Mother, she is and exactly what you expect happened between us, has happened between us. Both Joan and her discussed it and you know me, I’m always willing to help out.”

She very nearly slapped me in the face, but I broke into a tremendous smile saying, “How long since you have heard a voice like that?”

“I don’t recall, her full voice almost reminds me of a young Christine Baranski, did you hear her?”

“Exactly what I was thinking, mom ... Lincoln High is putting on ANYTHING GOES this next school year and is exactly the show Sutton was in that won her the Tony. It seems odd to think of Anna as Reno Sweeney, but a chance to show off that voice seems like a done deal.”

“Let me run her through scales for a while. Leave us alone, please?”

Giving her a kiss on the lips, I said, “Whatever my mommy wants. Listen to her closely Anna. She really is a fantastic singer and teacher.”

****

After mom left, Anna had something of a sore throat. Mainly from using portions of her voice she hadn’t before. She recommended I give my young prodigy an anti-inflammatory such as Advil or Aleve. I assumed she meant a half pill because Anna is rather small.

I gave her one with a bottle of water to which she took it and drained the water bottle in front of me. Mom had suggested she not use her voice until the pain started to lessen.

I suggested we take a spa together, which she loved the idea of. We joined up with Stu, Princess, Joan, Brigitte and Tracy, who all appeared to be naked.

Without hesitation, my newest lover got in the spa and removed her suit. I took mine off before I went in, getting some whistles and dirty looks. Joan sidled up next to me and said, “Now that Anna had joined the ‘Harem,’ could she and I have you at the same time?”

From next to me, Anna looked up to me asking quietly, “How would you make love to two girls at the same time?”

After hearing the ladies all titter after that, I explained the nuances of multi-person sex to little Anna, who had her mouth open in both awe and disgust over the things I had said.

“You mean some girls like to have things up their butts ... that’s just weird,” she said clearing her throat a little.

“Could one of you ladies like to help me demonstrate this to our newest nymphet?”

Tracy took the question to heart and got on my lap facing the rest of the girls. “Take his dick in your hand, why don’t you Anna? I will drop my ass on it.”

“Ewww, really?”

“It’s OK Trace, I’ll do it. She needs to watch first ... she’s an excellent watcher.”

That got a wonderful smile from Joanies physically little, but obviously talented sister.

Tracy was quite energized over this as her tits came up from the water, making Anna a bit nervous.

“Go ahead and touch them if you want Anna, it won’t bother me at all,” Tracy said.

My dick had made contact with her ass opening. Tracy reacted to Anna’s fingertips on her breast and I went all the way in with Miss Crabtree moaning rather loudly.

“What just happened?” Anna asked.

“He just went all the way inside my butt, Miss Prefontayne ... and boy, does it feel fantastic.”

She went to check with her hand and couldn’t believe it, but I took hold of Tracy’s breasts from behind and began thrusting even deeper.

We were putting on quite the show for the other ladies in the spa, who were making out with each other while stopping to see what we were doing.

Getting into it, Tracy took Anna in her arms and gave her a deep kiss. I extended my arms to Anna’s backside squeezing her baby cheeks as she went to straddle Tracy and they kept kissing.

Tracy was using some unseen muscles and squeezing my dick from all sides as I was feeling those rumblings that told me I was near cumming.

“Trace...”

“Anna, try kissing my nipples ... you should like that?”

“Trace?”

“Yeah ... uhm, that’s really good, honey.”

“Tracy, I’m cumming...”

“Anna, I’m cumming...”

It was necessary to really dose up the spa, probably need to change the filter really soon.

After going up, showering and changing into ‘fresh clothes,’ we watched MAME and CHICAGO, with everyone singing along, while I was looking for moments to include in the shows I had to produce and conduct. The musical numbers on our monster screen were quite impressive.

My phone rang, it was Brian, so I got up to talk to him, “Hey Pop?”

“Hey Michael, I hope I didn’t interrupt anything...”

“We were watching movies ... that’s all. Otherwise I wouldn’t have picked up the phone.”

“Good to know ... anyway, I have progress for you on some of the things we talked about regarding the other buildings in the Mansion-plex.”

“I like that name, with any luck it isn’t being used by anyone. I had another idea myself. You first.”

“The city has no problem with a hotel up to the height of thirty stories. Do you want to go up that high at Camelot?”

“No, twenty-five will be fine for that one. It needs to have a romanesque Camelot look. Multiple fake peaks. I was thinking of another one, on that property we discussed a casino on. Maybe only ten to fifteen stories high. We could have a different tower of restaurants by it.”

“Interesting idea, also ... ground will be broken on the parking garage and the restaurant tower within the week.”

“Wonderful, what about the shopping mall?”

“That will have 144,000 square feet, with two floors, three anchors and a length roughly five times its depth. That should cost under $30,000,000.”

“Great, how do we find occupants for it?”

“So far, I have heard you mention Victoria’s Secret and Zale’s. Are there any other specific businesses you want to pursue?”

“I’m currently surrounded by women ... but in a good way. Let me run that question by them, then I will get back to you ASAP.”

“You and your ‘problems.’ Talk to you later, Michael.”

“OK Dad, love you.”

A pair of arms embraced me from behind, “What did Brian want?” my fiancée asked.

I turned in place and gave her a big kiss, saying “He brought me up to date on things. I need your ladies help on a project he gave me.”

She pulled me back to where I was sitting before and asked me to explain myself. I told them the building part of things which they all thought was very cool.

Then I relaxed and sat back, which meant Anna got up on my lap. I asked Jenn to go get my lap top, but Anna got up saying, “I’ll get it Michael.”

After she came back and handed it to me, I put it on her lap and opened it up.

“Here is what I need from you ladies. The names of places you would like in Vincennes, that we don’t have already. I have The Apple Store, Victoria’s Secret and Zale’s so far. If you have lived somewhere else in the country, that would be a good place to start.”

“Starbucks,” Tracy said.

I checked, “Interesting, there are five in Evansville, but none closer, Jenn ... put that on the list please?”

She came back with her laptop, saying “Adding Starbucks, Lover.”

Anna looked at me and I gave her a kiss.

“Kentucky Fried Chicken,” Elizabeth said.

“We have one ... on Hart Street,” Princess said. “I have been there.”

“Just checking,” Elizabeth said. “What I would really like is a workout place, just for women, so the guys can’t creep you out with the way they look at you.”

“You’re talking about Curves, aren’t you?” Tracy said. “There’s one in Olney, but that’s forty-five minutes away.”

“Put that on the list please, Jenn,” I said getting another kiss from Anna. I liked this game.

“What we need is a place for the younger girls to shop that specializes in just their stuff, and stays current,” Princess said.

“How about a Kohl’s department store? That would give Vincennes a place for everyone to shop at. We need what’s called an anchor store, or a big store that would draw people to the shopping mall so they can see the other smaller specialty stores that are also there.”

“I saw one of those when we were driving through Indianapolis. It looked really big,” Brigitte said.

“They have stuff for the bedroom and bathroom, furniture, clothes for everybody, including shoes,” I said reading directly off the website. “That would make a great anchor store. Put it on the list Jenn.”

That got me a big kiss from Anna. Joan came over taking her away and landing on my lap. “You need to learn to share, Sis.”

The rest of them all laughed, but Anna didn’t mind.

Over the next hour, we added a very eclectic group of stores. I could have used another male in this group, but Stuart left me alone to head to Lincoln High Auditorium to get some things done prior to the beginning of school. He left Princess in my safe hands.

We added Haagen-Dazs, Dunkin’ Donuts or Krispy Kreme, Jimmy Johns Gourmet Sandwiches (We would need to find a franchisee for), an Albertsons (Who wasn’t anywhere in the state yet) or Kroger (Which we have one of already).

For gentlemen, we had Men’s Wearhouse, which I see endless commercials for despite not having one closer than in Evansville and Terre Haute. Joan was giving me the kiss now as I added each item to the list. I also found a nice place called Justice Brothers, also specifically for guys of all ages.

We didn’t come up with any more potential anchor stores, so I went to work looking them up. As I did I found another supermarket chain that isn’t in Indiana, but is in Illinois to our west and Tennessee to our south. Dad could talk to them.

From the ads that started appearing alongside where I was looking, I found Nordstrom’s, Bloomingdales, Belk, Lord & Taylor and Meijer, all potential anchors and not anywhere near us. After telling the girls about each of them, Joan gave me an erection building kiss.

We had a quick dinner, I sent the list to Dad, then I went to Joan’s room, where I was greeted by Brigitte as well. Princess took Anna into her room for the night. Tracy, Liz and Jennifer shared our room.

****

A phone call woke me up, it was Joanne Prefontayne.

“Hello, Joanne ... how are you this morning?”

“I’m sorry for calling so early, but I never got a call from either of my daughters yesterday. Could you make sure one of them calls me to check in?”

“I can do that, no problem, how is your trip going ... is the time off work making James a good boy?”

“To a degree. He gets too many calls to suit me. Anyhow, have either Anna or Joan give me a call, please?”

“Sure will. Try taking his phone from him and hiding it. That might work.”

“If only, ‘bye Michael.”

“Was that my mother you were talking to, Lover?” Joan said giving out a yawn.

“Yeah, she was worried because she never got a call yesterday. That is the sure way to get everybody in trouble, so wait a few hours then call her.”

She went under the covers and put me in her mouth, sucking me hard. I felt Brigitte waking up and I pulled her face to mine saying, “Kiss me, my french beauty, please?”

Our lips were quickly mashed up each other as Joan was working me to a rigid state. We had a recording session in just over an hour, so I didn’t fight my urge and rather quickly came in Miss Prefontaynes mouth. Brigitte was content just making out for a while. We showered, and changed. I went to the other rooms knocking saying, “Your checkout time has passed, leave money on the refrigerator and meet downstairs for breakfast. Hurry up ladies.”

First down was Tracy and myself, who took a moment to make out a little, then we started breakfast. She was surprised I knew anything about cooking, but we had made scrambled eggs, sausage and toast for the masses, as they trickled down.

After they were all there I laid out the plans for the day, telling them we were playing and recording music from our very first concert, the Webber/Sondheim concert. Stuart would be meeting us at the Thomas Auditorium. I have started to enjoy the facility having my name on it!

“What about the songs that were sung by those not in the GSS?” Jennifer said.

“I will give them out as I see fit,” I said. “I need to replace Julie, Sami, Sally and Shirley. We have the talent in place. I’m cutting Masquerade, replacing it with “Everything’s Alright,” from JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR. I haven’t decided who will sing it yet, maybe Joan?”

“Are you adding anything else to that group?” my fiancée asked.

“Are you going diva on me here, Jennifer?”

“No! I was just ... wondering, that’s all,” she said.

“Hurry up and eat ladies, we leave in five minutes to get the buses to pick up the GSS.”

“Michael,” Elizabeth asked, “When are you replacing those who are leaving?”

“Once school starts,” I said.

“ ... I said I’m sorry Mom, we were just ... busy all day. Michael runs a tight ship around here. He gives everybody things to do, and he follows up to make sure we do what we say we will.”

“Ha ... Ha, maybe we should stay with him all the time. I think Anna has a real big crush on him, but I don’t blame her.”

“OK, Ok, ok ... we will give him a big kiss for being so kind to us. I will even give him a kiss for you.”

“OK, love you ... and Dad.”

Anna already had her lips on mine and it was quite the kiss. Joanie came over and gave me one super kiss, before Jenn pulled her away.

“Let’s get to the JH Recording Studio,” I said.

Stuart was there waiting for us. Princess went over to give him a good morning kiss. Anna gave him a kiss as well. We all got inside, as both of them followed Stuey to his recording/mixing table, with Anna getting up on his lap.

Liz, Jennifer, Brigitte and Joan took the buses to get everyone as I started to clean up the place from our last time there. Quickly, I had Anna and Princess helping me and it was nice.

After we had finished, Anna asked, “Will I get to sing anything by myself today, Michael?”

“I’m not sure, young lady. Do you know the show called EVITA?”

“Sure do,” she was quick to say.

I went to my backpack getting out the scores from that first concert of ours, handing her the song, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina.” I sent her to have Stuart play the song for her to hear.

She went back dropping on his lap again, putting on the headset.

“So, Michael,” Princess asked. “I wasn’t with the group when you did this. Am I getting a chance to sing today?”

“Yes, as a matter of fact ... you do, with Sam Choate. It’s called “He Whistled At Me.” Jenn is going to be really pissed, she had been a part of four songs back when we first did this, and I have cut that back to only two.”

“She loves you, and realizes that you have to spread things around.”

“Excuse me, Princess, I’m getting a call... ‘Hey Jenn ... what’s going on?’”

“Paul and Cece can’t be here this morning, Andrew is running a temperature. Don’t freak out. She actually told me to tell you that. It’s common.”

“Thanks baby doll, I will make the changes necessary.”

“What’s going on?” Princess asked.

“Andrew has a temperature. I was told not to worry, but I will anyway. That will put you in a song with Janice, Alice and Jennie. Is that all right with you?”

“Sure, put me anywhere ... I don’t mind. Relax ... today should be fun.”

Another fifteen minutes and the buses arrived. The orchestra quickly got in place and was tuning up, while my singers were sitting down waiting for my usual announcement.

“Mr. Stottlemire, your guitar is out of tune, I believe it is your D string ... fix it, please?”

He did as I heard mom say something quiet to Elizabeth.

“All right, some of you weren’t with us when we did our evening of Andrew Lloyd Webber and Steven Sondheim music, so I took that music and changed around a lot of singers, giving everyone at least one number to be part of. We focus on the ALW music today and the Sondheim in two days. Five people from then are not part of the GSS. I could understand if any one of you might get tired of being part of the GSS and the TCA.”

“When I mention your name, please stand up: Marjorie Guimarra ... Charles Alexander ... Dolores Elam ... Archie Brooks ... Let’s all give them a huge round of applause. they are leaving the GSS for two years to attend Vincennes University. Archie, I believe, is planning to attend the University of Tampa to achieve his Bachelors of Musical Performance. Let’s give him a rousing applause for going a thousand miles away from his parents.”

“That’s only nine hundred and one miles, Michael,” he corrected getting a good laugh from the crowd.

“He will continue to make money because of our music being recorded and sold. Make sure we have your address and banking info Mr. Brooks.”

“I already got it,” Janice said.

“Sit down everyone, please. I need to apologize to my fiancée in advance, when I tell her that the four songs she sang has been reduced to only two. Of course, they are still the most spectacular songs from PHANTOM OF THE OPERA. Would James please join her for this?”

He got up and they kissed slightly on the lips, “That’s different from before?” Peter said.

“Pucker up Peter, you get to sing ‘Think of Me,’ with her,” I said. His smile grew.

“Do any of my orchestra need music for this?”

I saw no heads moving. Excellent!

I pointed to Nancy, on the organ, as I raised my baton...

CHRISTINE (Jennifer)
In sleep he sang to me
in dreams he came
that voice which calls to me
And speaks my name

And do I dream again
for now I find
The Phantom of the Opera
is there inside my mind{br}

PHANTOM (James Allen)
Sing once again with me
Our strange duet
My power over you
grows stronger yet

CHRISTINE
Those who have seen your face
Draw back in fear
I am the mask you wear
PHANTOM
It’s me they hear...
BOTH
Your/My spirit and my/your
voice in one combined
The Phantom of the Opera
is there inside my/your mind{br}

CHRISTINE
He’s there, the phantom of the opera
He’s there, the phantom of the opera

PHANTOM
Sing, my Angel of Music
Sing, my Angel
Sing for me
Sing, my Angel!
Sing for me!

I stopped everyone cold, keeping my hands Up.

“Was I supposed to record that Boss?” came into my ear.

I glared at Mr. Holland, but he gave me a thumbs up. Anna was with him and he had kept her hands from clapping.

“Thank you, Mr. Allen ... it’s good to know you can still hit those notes. You can sit down. Peter do you need the words to look at?”

“No, just your girl, she’s almost as beautiful as my wife.”

That got him applause from behind me. “Quiet Kitten, please?”

JENNIFER
Think of me, think of me fondly
When we have said goodbye
Remember me once in a while
Please promise me you will try

When you find that once again you long
To take your heart back and be free
If you ever find a moment
Spare a thought for me

(Did our 50plus piece orchestra sound majestic or what?)

We never said our love was evergreen
Or as unchanging as the sea
But if you can still remember
Stop and think of me

Think of all the things
We have shared and seen
Don’t think about the things
Which might have been

Think of me, think of me waking
Silent and resigned
Imagine me, trying too hard
To put you from my mind
