Part II: Graduate School
The following couple of weeks were very stressful for both Doogie and Katherine. They tried their best to put that one wicked night out of their mind and return to a normal relationship. They made a concerted effort to avoid being alone together, so it helped when David had returned home earlier than planned and his schedule at the hospital allowed Doogie to commute with him most of the time.
"Well Doogie," said David, as they approached the hospital parking lot in his new red Porche, "I suppose you'll be taking Wanda to the Auxiliary Ball Friday night."
"Naaaa, I don't think so. I think Vinny and I are going to take in the ball game. The Bulls are in town and we won't have that many chances to see Jordan play. Besides that I'm not crazy about spending the evening in a Tux dancing to 40's music."
"That's too bad, I know your mother was looking forwards to all of us spending the evening together. Oh well, I'll explain it to her. Actually, I wouldn't mind watching Jordan play either but I've already committed."
The Auxiliary Ball was Katherine's favorite event of the year. It was a very formal affair held to raise money for a worthy cause. This year it was for construction of the new pediatric wing. Nearly all the doctors, nurses, and administrative staff that were not on duty that night would attend with their spouses or guests.
The cab picked Doogie up at the physician's entrance. Since his parents were preparing for the big gala and he worked late he decided to take a cab rather than inconvenience them. The cabbie made small talk with him, asking why he had been at the hospital then not believing him when he said he was a doctor.
Doogie paid the fare and reminded the cabbie to be sure to get an annual physical examination. The cabbie laughed and drove off, still not believing him.
"Hi Doog," David greeted him as he entered the house, "How was it today?"
"Good Dad, how about yours? You look great in the tux. Glad it's you and not me though."
They exchanged medical philosophies for a short time then David shouted up the stairs, "Let's go Katherine. It's time. The limo will be here in five minutes."
"I'm coming, just a minute."
David whistled his approval when she appeared at the top of the long staircase.
Doogie's heart jumped and pounded wildly. His mouth instantly went dry. He swallowed hard and his knees felt weak.
"So, what do you think," Katherine asked? She was dressed in a white, full length, designer gown with a low cut top held by thin spaghetti straps. A thigh high slit extended up the right side. She turned to model the back of the dress and Doogie nearly passed out. It was cut very low, exposing nearly her entire back all the way down to just above her shapely hips. Doogie wondered what kind of bra she could wear with no strap visible in the back. A large diamond pendant rested at the top of her exposed cleavage.
Katherine slowly made her way down the stairs as David and Doogie both stared. Every step she took exposed more long, shapely leg along the slit in the dress. She wore sheer, beige pantyhose and white satin heels.
As she approached her two admirers, one open and one secret, she felt their eyes move up and down her body.
"Beautiful, Katherine, you look absolutely stunning."
Doogie had a difficult time speaking, "You look really nice Mom." His eyes rested on the tops of her breasts, exposed above the top of the form fitting bodice which molded to her youthful figure.
Katherine felt beautiful. She had prepared for this event for two weeks and was looking forward to a romantic evening. David had been home from his conference for three weeks but had been so distracted and busy that he hadn't had time to spend with her. Now the evening was theirs and nothing could deter their plans.
"The limo is here," David said, "let's go."
Doogie watched them as they walked arm in arm toward the door. Katherine's hips and buttocks rolled and swayed beneath the form fitting dress as she walked. "Nice ass," he thought, as he fought the urge to reach out and cup the firm cheeks in his hands.
"Geez," thought Doogie, "I'm really not in the mood to spend the evening with Vinny," and he picked up the phone to call his friend. Vinny was disappointed but understood and said maybe he would take Janine instead.
Doogie took a shower, put on his scrubs, and sat down in front of the TV with a pizza. and Coke. "Not bad," he thought. "I wonder what Mom and Dad are having for dinner?"
David and Katherine were dining on rack of lamb with mint jelly and all the trimmings and a lot of fine wine. The ballroom was beautiful, with giant chandeliers and expensive decorations. They were surrounded by friends and colleagues, all of whom took special notice of Katherine's beauty.
Following the sumptuous meal, the orchestra began to play 40's dance music. "Doogie was right," David told Katherine, "He said it would be 40's music."
Katherine laughed and said, "Come on David let's dance."
He took her in his arms and they moved together to the sounds of Glenn Miller. They danced beautifully and looked only at each other. His right hand held her body close to his and his left hand held her hand. Her legs brushed against his and his hand moved sensuously against her bare back. Her eyes closed as they moved effortlessly to the music. He felt her firm breasts against his chest as his hand moved lower down her back. Wanting to fill his hands with the familiar globes of her tight buttocks, he refrained, knowing his prudish co-workers may not appreciate his boldness.
Katherine looked up at David's eyes and said, "Is that a gun in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?" She laughed huskily as his growing member pressed against the mound of her tummy. She inconspicuously rubbed side to side against it. "You know David, I really want you."
"Really, how much?" He teased.
"More than you can ever know." Her face turned up to his and she stood on tip toes to touch his lips with hers. The tip of her tongue brushed against his lips but as he tried to hold her mouth to his she pulled away. "Ah, ah, now, you must be patient. We have all night."
"I can't wait much longer. I want you now!"
"Oh, and what do you want me for right now?'
"I want to make love to you."
"David, we can't make love on the dance floor in front of all these people. What would they think?"
"They would think I had the sexiest wife here and wish they were me."
