Tobias saw his grandfather\u2019s beat up Mercury parked at the bar. That meant the old man was waiting for him. He had a decision to make.<\/p>\n

He sighed inwardly. Then he told Maryanne to go on without him. He said his grandfather was there to take him back to the house where he was staying. She said she understood, and that she hoped they would meet up again, perhaps for another reef dive before he flew back home.<\/p>\n

Toby entered the bar and saw his grandfather sitting in a small booth not too far from the counter. The old man raised a drink in his direction when he saw him. Toby put on a smile as he walked over to him.<\/p>\n

\u201cReady to go, Grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou just get back from your scuba dive?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHow was it?\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby looked around and winced. The atmosphere was years beyond him, what with its darkened interior, old-time fishnets and buoys. He felt uncomfortable being in here.<\/p>\n

His grandfather noticed his discomfort. \u201cSit down, Toby. I\u2019ll buy you a drink.\u201d Then the old man motioned at the empty space across the table.<\/p>\n

Toby went ahead and sat down. His grandparents were being gracious enough to put him up during Spring Break. And if Grandpa Tobas was going to buy him a drink anyway\u2026<\/p>\n

Toby was named after his grandfather. But as a kid, he\u2019d shortened the pronunciation of Tobias. It was deemed too cute to correct, and the name Tobas had stuck.<\/p>\n

The old man motioned at the bartender and waved him to come over. \u201cVas. Bring one over for my grandson!\u201d Then he smiled at Toby as he added, \u201cI hope you like Greek beer.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby tried not to scowl too much. As long as it didn\u2019t taste bad, he figured he could stomach it.<\/p>\n

The old man asked him again, \u201cSo how was the diving today, Toby?\u201d<\/p>\n

The college lad thought about it. How much should he enlighten his grandfather? After all, he didn\u2019t see him all that much.<\/p>\n

\u201cI guess it was all right. In fact, I kind of liked it.\u201d Thankfully, the scenery had been replete with scantily clad females.<\/p>\n

\u201cAny chicks in the water with you today?\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby gave him a curious eye. \u201cYeah, grandpa; there were a few.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAny that were good-looking?\u201d Now that was an interesting question!<\/p>\n

Toby became impatient. He going to complain how he\u2019d lost the opportunity to hang out with one when he\u2019d seen his grandpa\u2019s Mercury and had been reminded who he was staying with. That\u2019s when the bartender came over with a glass filled with a pale yellow fluid and set it down in front of the college youth.<\/p>\n

\u201cVas? This is my grandson Tobias Sideris. He likes to go by the name Toby.\u201d\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNice to meet you, son.\u201d A grizzled hand came out. Toby shook it and thanked him for the drink.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s on me,\u201d the bartender said with a smile. \u201cSo you\u2019re Tobias\u2019 grandson, eh? You sure look like a chip off the old block.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tobias immediately cut in on the bartender. \u201cNow don\u2019t be goin\u2019 doin\u2019 that, Vas. I\u2019ll get his tab.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s on me, Tobias. I\u2019m just glad you came in today. It\u2019s been nice reliving old times.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThanks, Vas.\u201d Then the old man headed back to the bar.<\/p>\n

Toby tried to make polite conversation as he nodded at the departing bartender. \u201cSo how long have you known him, Grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cEver since I was out here sponge fishing. Bar\u2019s certainly seen better days. But Vas still imports Greek beer. How\u2019s it taste?\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby winced as he took a sip. Then he frowned before taking a longer slug. \u201cNot bad, Grandpa,\u201d he admitted grudgingly.<\/p>\n

\u201cI thought you\u2019d like it. After all, you\u2019ve got some Greek blood in you.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSo you were out here sponge fishing, Grandpa? I never knew that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThat was back in the ol\u2019 hardhat days. That equipment was hellish heavy. Boy, was I glad when they came out with those Voit, double-hosed scuba tanks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Toby was interested. \u201cYou went down for sponges in both hardhat gear and scuba gear?? Damn, Grandpa! You\u2019re old!\u201d<\/p>\n

The old man rubbed his whitened hair. That\u2019s when Toby blushed. \u201cI didn\u2019t mean it like that, Grandpa. I\u2019m sorry. It\u2019s just that they haven\u2019t done hardhat diving in years! I didn\u2019t know you used to do that!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe don\u2019t get to see each other all that often, Toby. So I haven\u2019t told you a lot of things. I\u2019m just glad your mom\u2019s letting you stay here with us during Spring Break.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou really dove for sponges in double-hosed scuba gear?\u201d Now he was more than a little curious. After all, he\u2019d just returned from diving a reef with a bunch of Spring Breakers.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s before they came out with those single hosed contraptions. By then, your grandmother wanted me to settle down into a life more stable than being out in the Keys all day. I suppose that\u2019s because she was jealous of all the hookers in the area.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby\u2019s ears picked up even more. \u201cHookers? What hookers, Grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n

Tobias hollered over at the bartender. \u201cHey, Vas! When did they close down the Dew Drop Inn?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTore it down in the early sixties\u201d came the reply.<\/p>\n

\u201cThought so,\u201d Tobias said to his grandson. \u201cI thought that was back in the sixties. That\u2019s where the hookers took their johns.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby was shocked. \u201cGrandpa, you don\u2019t mean to say you, uh\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA guy\u2019s got needs, son. That was before I met your grandmother. Of course, that changed once the scuba tanks and those double-hoses came on the scene. That made us fisherman stay out in the Keys for days at a time. So there were days when the hookers around here didn\u2019t get that much action because we were all out to sea.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old man motioned around as he continued. \u201cBack then, there was nothing but bars, a couple of churches, a few homes, and the marina. Life was wide open. Us guys were out trying to make a buck. So we headed out and fished for sponges, and for anything else that might pay us. And when we weren\u2019t coming back to shore to see the girls that often? That\u2019s when they got the bright idea to bring their business out to us.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby was in the middle of another sip of his beer when he stopped and put down his drink. \u201cThey were coming out to you, Grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were trying to make a living too, Toby. So they\u2019d come out on the boats they bought. And they\u2019d do whatever we paid \u2018em to do.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re joking; right, Grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n

He turned and hollered at the bartender, \u201cVas, you still got that picture Minardos gave you?\u201d<\/p>\n

The old man at the bar walked over to a counter and reached underneath. Then he brought a piece of paper over to them. \u201cYou really want him to see this, Tobias?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSure; why not?\u201d Vas just shook his head and gave it to him before walking back.<\/p>\n

Toby was curious. \u201cWhat\u2019s that, Grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a picture my dive partner Minardos took of me climbing onto the Pussy Galore.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re bullshitting me, Grandpa!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSee for yourself.\u201d Then the old man handed it over.<\/p>\n

Toby took a quick look at it. It was black and white. But it clearly showed a young man climbing aboard a boat named the Pussy Galore.<\/p>\n

Two hookers stood there holding hands. They were both decked out in twin-hosed scuba gear. And both of them were topless.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>He stared at it in surprise, ogling the bare-chested women. Then he murmured, \u201cSo that\u2019s where the name of that Bond girl came from.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat was that, Toby?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNothing, Grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n

He started to hand it back over. Then he took it back and looked at it real hard. \u201cTopless Scuba Escort? Grandpa, were those really the rates they charged you for them to go topless?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a real treat to see them topless underwater in scuba gear, Toby. We were making pretty good money back then. So naturally, we paid \u2018em those rates.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey look like a couple of hotties, Grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey sure were, Toby.\u201d<\/p>\n

The college lad handed it back. Then he leaned forward conspiratorially. \u201cYou know, Grandpa? Today during our dive session? There was a girl who flashed me her tits while we were underwater.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old man chuckled. \u201cDid you get a good look?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was going to give me a ride back to where she was staying, Grandpa. I didn\u2019t know when I was going to get back to you and Grandma. So I stayed behind and came here.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old man winced. \u201cYou stayed here with me and missed out? I\u2019m sorry about that, Toby. Maybe you should have gone with her.\u201d<\/p>\n

He sounded genuinely apologetic. Toby smiled and waved dismissively. \u201cI\u2019m glad I stayed, Grandpa. The beer\u2019s not bad. Besides, I never knew you went scuba diving or went out with hookers. So you got to see them topless?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes we\u2019d have them down with us while we were picking up sponges. They charged more the deeper they went. It was impressive the way they would learn to scuba dive just to pick up some extra cash by letting us see their tits.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, Grandpa! I never knew!\u201d Then Toby paused before carefully asking, \u201cDid you, uh\u2026 did you ever do anything more out there in the ocean with \u2018em besides looking at their tits?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFunny you should ask. There was this one\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby\u2019s ears perked up. \u201cReally? Tell me about her!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, she was out working a boat, just like the one in the picture. Only she was willing to do a little more, if you know what I mean.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cA little more what, Grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, we sort of had this agreement. I paid her to go down topless and help me pick up sponges. I told her I\u2019d pay her extra if she found enough sponges. Then I\u2019d pay a little more if she did something\u2026 special.\u201d<\/p>\n

Now Toby was all ears. In fact, his cock was starting to stiffen shamefully in his pants. \u201cTell me more, Grandpa!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, this lady went down with me and found a bunch of sponges. That earned her a little extra. Then she\u2026 well\u2026 she pulled down my trunks and gave me a blowjob.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDown there at the bottom of the ocean?\u201d Toby was shocked.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not that deep out in the Keys, Toby.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDamn, Grandpa! Did you cum in her mouth?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cShe swallowed it all like a true hooker. So I went ahead and paid her extra. She did all that while using that double-hosed gear.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDamn, Grandpa! I\u2019m not sure I believe that!\u201d<\/p>\n

He pointed over at the bartender. \u201cVasileios over there knows. I told him all about it.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWow, Grandpa; I\u2019m impressed. Anything else?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, yes.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me!\u201d Then Toby eagerly leaned forward. He wanted to hear the whole story in case he might get a chance to practice something later on with that Maryanne girl during another reef dive.<\/p>\n

\u201cWell, this one chick went down topless. I paid her for helping me find sponges. Then I paid her extra for\u2026 well\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat? Tell me!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe fucked at the bottom of the ocean.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cHoly hell, Grandpa! That\u2019s\u2026 that\u2019s incredible!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe actually did it on several occasions. But we had to put a stop to it once she got pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby\u2019s eyes flew open. \u201cYou got her pregnant, Grandpa?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYes, I did. So I did the honorable thing and married her. I gave up going out with hookers, and she gave up the business. Nine months later, we had your mother.\u201d<\/p>\n

Toby was incredulous. \u201cDamn, Grandpa! That\u2019s an incredible story!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cVas here knows all about it.\u201d But Tobias decided not to tell his grandson that the bartender had once had a go at his future wife while she was still hooking.<\/p>\n

Toby\u2019s expression suddenly changed as though he\u2019d been hit by a bolt from the blue. Then he stretched out a hand. \u201cLet me see that picture again, Grandpa.\u201d<\/p>\n

The old man looked at him funny. Then he handed it over. Toby grabbed it and stared\u2026 and then stared harder.<\/p>\n

No! It couldn\u2019t be! That one on the right looked like\u2026<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s right,\u201d Tobias told his grandson. \u201cThat\u2019s your grandmother. That\u2019s the one I fucked at the bottom of the ocean. I met her on the Pussy Galore. But I\u2019d rather you keep that little piece of information to yourself. Minardos gave it to Vas, who likes to gawk at it every now and then. Maybe he thinks she\u2019s the one that got away. Anyway, I think she believes that picture has been lost to posterity. If she ever finds out you\u2019ve see it, your grandmother would probably kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n
