The door bell range just a little past 9 p.m. on a Thursday night. Karen Miller had just come out of the shower and she was dripping wet. She wasn’t expecting anyone, but she quickly toweled off and put on a short summer weight robe – no time to look for a bra or panties.
Karen took a quick peak through the curtains and she could see D. Franklin Diderot, the community college distance learning program supervisor, standing under the porch light. He had a large white cotton bag under his arm. What was this all about?
Karen opened the door just a crack.
“Frank? Is there a problem?”
“There’s something we need to talk about, Karen. It’s really important. Can I come in?”
Over the years Karen and Frank had almost been “an item.” They had started dating in high school, had fooled around in the back seat of his car during their college years, got married to and divorced from other people more often then is considered proper even by southern California standards, and had somehow managed to keep up their friendship for almost 30 years.
After the last series of divorces, whenever either of them was feeling down, they got together for a drink, to cry on each other’s shoulder, and then have a good healthy ‘therapy fuck.’ It was that kind of relationship. And if truth be told, Frank was the first guy to put his cock in Karen’s mouth before oral sex became the rage among high school kids. Nobody told her back then that you didn’t have to swallow if you didn’t want to, and she still had a crush on Denis Franklin Diderot after all these years.
“Yes, Frank, please come in.”
Frank had always been self-conscious about being named after the 18th Century French philosopher, and after college he used only his middle name. Karen was just plain dependable Karen. She led the way and he followed her into the living room.
“Sit down, Frank, and make yourself comfortable. Can I fix you a drink?”
“No, that won’t be necessary. Not right no. Maybe later …”
Karen sat opposite Frank and pulled her sheer summer robe tightly together. They had been naked at least fifty times over the years, but tonight Karen wasn’t in the mood to show off her tits or legs. Then the thought crossed her mind, was Frank planning to stay the evening? Was he hoping to get laid? He hadn’t called to say he was coming over and tomorrow as a school day. Karen was getting just a little bit pissed about this intrusion into her orderly, well-structured life.
Then Frank went on. “You called in sick today.
“Yes.”
“Bronchitis?”
“Yes ...”
“But you’re feeling much better now?”
Better hedge your bets. “Kinda’ …”
“Went to the doctor?”
“Frank, why are you quizzing me like this?”
“Well, Karen, I have this little problem.”
“And how can I help?” She was a little bit skeptical.
“Seems the school board is considering buying this new computer software, SNIFFER it’s called.”
“Yes …” Karen thought she had read an article about it in a Newsweek.
