Dear readers,
I'm happy I've found a new editor. He did a great job. Thank you Mike.

Thursday turned out to be an interesting evening because it was the first since Sunday that Todd sat together with his housemates. They played Texas hold'em. Not the hard way of course, just for fun. They all put five dollars in a pot. The chip leader would get the forty dollars after an agreed period of time or if one of them would be the premature winner. Each of them got chips for one million worth of money. The good thing was that they had learned there was no outstanding poker player between them. The girls were also good enough to compete.
But at this evening the game wasn't foremost in everyone's minds. Todd could see his housemates were bursting with curiosity so he answered their questions while they played. On Sunday evening he was reserved because he had to talk about it with Kate. Today he was allowed to reveal something. When he told them her age they were flabbergasted and looked at him with slack-jawed faces. Todd quickly added she was a gorgeous woman and she wasn't showing her age. When asked he simply said she was an extraordinary companion in and out of bed. He told them he was already missing her this evening and Megan partially, too.
Of course, his housemates understood that very well because none of them wanted to sleep alone. Todd assured them he could endure that because that would give him time with his housemates. They were all happy with his emotional comment. Todd declared Kate was his soul mate and not a sex kitten for him. They were very much surprised, even a bit shocked, when he emphasized they were in love with each other and were socializing a lot.
Sharon asked with a lecherous grin on her beautiful face, "What do you do together apart from your favorite activity?"
Todd laughed meaningfully and said, "We like to walk together. We like to shop together. We like to go to the restaurant together, and Wednesday we went out for a music performance at San Francisco. It was the first time we were really the center of public attention by a lot of curious people. Plays at theaters, musical performances and movies are also on our agenda for the future."
Sharon asked again, "Which music performance did you attend?"
Todd knew she was enthusiastic over classic music and reluctantly disclosed, "We saw the Berlin Philharmonic at the Davies Symphony Hall."
"Fuck, Fuck, Fuck. Fucking hell. I would have liked to accompany you. The Berlin Philharmonic is one of the best orchestras in the world," Sharon cussed and stamped with her feet.
"Sorry Sharon. I thought about you, but it was the first time we went out as a couple. Additionally, the concert was sold out ago. They could've sold much more tickets. Kate is a good friend of the owner of the concert agency, and he informs her about major performances they organize. Next time I'll ask her whether she could get tickets for you, too. I know your preferences."
Sharon sighed, "Todd, what a lucky guy you are. I assume Kate is loaded."
"Sorry Sharon, no comment."
Surprisingly none of his housemates asked him whether Kate was married. Probably they just assumed she was single.
When asked about their get-together Todd revealed Kate owned a spacious condo not far away from the campus. She used it for her stays at Berkeley because she lived in a rural community sixty miles away. Then he dropped the bombshell that Kate had invited him to live in her condo for free.
When he saw the concerned faces of his housemates, especially Sharon's, his secret love interest, he quickly added he hadn't accepted her invitation and that Kate had understood his reasons not to do so. He simply would be alone there four nights a week and that was not in his interest. Todd added he liked to live in this building with them all around him, and Megan had agreed to stay overnight with him from Monday to Tuesday and from Friday to Saturday every week. He emphasized that suited him best.
Todd promised his curious housemates that after Thanksgiving weekend he would bring Kate with him to introduce her to them. Two other very personal questions Todd couldn't answer which brought the Kate theme more or less to closure and they concentrated more on the game which Peter won with the most chips when it was eleven pm. Sharon was close behind. Todd was an OK poker player but similar to the cribbage games he played with Kate he didn't put too much efforts into it. He had fun playing games with his housemates and didn't mind that they thought the games were something they could beat him with. Apart from poker and Trivial Pursuit they had already played Monopoly and Agricola together.
However, one game his housemates couldn't beat him at was darts. They learned Todd had been on a school exchange in England for three months when he was sixteen. He learned to play there. His dad organized that exchange and his high school had agreed because he was a Grade A student. His excellent motor abilities were very suitable for this game.
He was able to throw the darts with great efficiency. He won two competitions at the English high school he was relocated to. He received a very warm welcome there. He found out two beautiful girls were almost from the first day on very interested in him, but as he was only scheduled for a three months stay it was a no-go situation as much as he would've liked to change it. After some make out sessions with each of them he explained his reasons not to get involved deeper with them.
It was a hard decision for him to make because they were outstanding female creatures and in full bloom at the age of sixteen. They could easily be regarded as sisters with their beautiful faces and bodies to die for. Additionally, they were best friends and accepted they both wanted to fuck Todd. At this high school skirts and blouses were recommended for girls. It gave them plenty of opportunities to dress sexy. There was no school uniform required. He knew he was the reason why they were warned twice because of extremely short skirts and bearing no bras under their thin blouses. Fortunately, they were the only girls to detect the boner in his slacks.
Truth be told, he somehow regretted his decision, but he simply feared problematic emotional issues. He was still a virgin, but he was fully aware of his sexual abilities and his big cock. He didn't want to spoil their lives just to have some fun with them. At sixteen he was not ready for that, and he convinced them this was the right decision. A meaningless roll in the hay was not the answer despite the fact that both girls confirmed they weren't virgins. They assumed Todd wasn't a virgin as well because they didn't ask him. He made two other guys happy who also went after them. However, the whole three months he was there Todd wasn't able to count the furtive kisses he got from them.
After he returned from England being almost seventeen his schoolmates were jealous of him. Whenever an opportunity occurred he was more than willing to tell them a lot about his exciting stay in England. As a result of it the in-crowd started to recognize him. It was a funny feeling because until then he lived under their radar. This was also the reason why Samantha became fond of him and approached him for senior prom more than a year later. What a luck for Todd her boyfriend dumped her weeks before prom.
When he went to bed this Thursday evening his thoughts again lingered to the fact that every Sunday and Thursday he would sleep alone and would wake up without a woman at his side. However, that was much better than the first two weeks he had to endure at Berkeley. It enhanced his mood when he focused his mind to the nicer aspects. Next night he would sleep with Megan and the other night with Kate. Then Monday again with Megan and Tuesday and Wednesday with Kate. He thought five nights with a woman at his side and two nights alone wasn't such a bad ratio.
Friday early evening Megan and Todd were dining at the restaurant where he revealed his relationship with Kate in rough details. He saw the shadow of fear crossing her beautiful Asian face and quickly added, "Honey, please don't be afraid. You know I'm very fond of you, and I don't want to change anything of our wonderful relationship. Kate knows and agreed to it. Megan you're a wonderful woman, pleasantly to be with and you're an incredible companion in the sack. You've been honest with me when you fucked this guy and now I'm honest with you that there is Kate. One day when I think it's the right time you'll meet her. Don't you think you've got an advantage to her being eighteen and she is fifty-one?"
Of course, this last sentence was said to calm her down and to enhance her mood and it worked. Todd was happy how insightful she had accepted Kate's existence, and they had fun during dinner. By the way, this man behind the bar still observed their beautiful waitress with eagle-eyes. She was his girlfriend. When she served Todd and this young, sexy woman the bartender knew she wanted to fuck him.
