I just crossed the threshold of my house when it started.
"Harvey!" The shriek of my wife's voice. No 'Welcome home,' no 'How was your day."
"Yes, Harriett."
There's a message for you from Anna's art teacher."
"She's taking art? I thought our idiot neighbors voted down that school district referendum."
"Where have you been? Not at school. It's a Park District program she started last month. Remember?"
Not a clue. "Oh yeah, sure."
"She wants you to come and see her tonight."
"Annie? Is she upstairs?"
"No! Her teacher."
"Damn it, the Bears are on tonight."
"Watch your language. Besides, it's preseason, isn't it? It doesn't count."
Harriett didn't get it. Watching gladiators in hand-to-hand combat was a great way for me to purge the venom I accumulated all day. And, it kept my thoughts and me out of Annie's friend's panties.
She handed me a scrap of paper with the address, time, and teacher's name. Bourgeois. Wasn't that a kind of red wine?
"Can I eat first?"
I kicked off my shoes and dropped my coat on the floor. Harriett handed me a plate. I wolfed down a lukewarm casserole with anonymous ingredients. Then it was back to the car to one of the scattered Park District buildings. Only one car, a Chrysler convertible, remained in the lot. I pulled in beside it and headed inside. The receptionist's desk had been abandoned at a reasonable hour. The building directory said the art rooms were in the east wing.
"Hello?" My own voice echoed the question. "Is anyone here?"
A lanky woman with black hair, black blouse and long black skirt came into the hallway. "Mr. Marcus?" She carried herself straight, almost stiff, with an accent that was either French or Hungarian.
"Yes." I completed the hike up the hall.
"My name is Ms. Bourgeois. Follow me, please."
I entered the classroom after her, an art studio complete with easels, stools, half-open cabinets brimming with supplies, a raised modeling platform and the teacher's desk at the far side. Paintings and sketches decorated the walls, and sculptures sat on side tables along every wall.
"Please, have a seat." I slid a stool closer. "Thank you for coming in on such short notice." She put one buttock on the edge of her desk and crossed her legs. Close to a dozen gold chains adorned her otherwise flat chest. A slit in the skirt allowed it to open like a theater curtain. Her legs were long and well shaped, as if a master had sculpted them. I was staring at them when she cleared her throat. "You're wondering why I asked you here tonight. You, instead of your wife."
I had no idea I had been singled out. Didn't Harriet have a previous engagement? Isn't that why I was here?
"Yeah, sure. Something about Annie. She's in your class."
"Correct. Anna shows great promise. She could move on to bigger things." She smoothed a strand of hair back over one ear. It waited under her hand returned to her lap, then fell forward to its original position. "Depending on how she does here, with me, there could be a scholarship for art school, no?"
"Yes. My wife told me about that."
She leaned forward. "Anna is one of two candidates for the scholarship. It has been difficult to decide. However, Anna's last project put her in jeopardy. Unless you can satisfy me, I'll have no choice but to award the scholarship to the other student."
Satisfy her? Does she want to fuck? No, she's too formal and proper. I glanced back at her legs. Her movement had parted the curtain even further. The tops of her stocking peeked out. No pantyhose for this woman. Good old stocking and garters.
"Let me show you." She leaned back. The slit was now open to her upper thigh. The garters were exposed, as well as the edge of her lacy black panties with significant pussy hair showing on the edge. When she straightened up, she had grabbed an easel pad, with a cover over it. She tugged once at her skirt, which barely moved. "The last class assignment was a still life, drawn from something real from the student's experience. Something that had a significant impact on them." She pointed to a series of drawings hanging up for display. "As you can see, some chose objects; others chose family members." Sketches and paintings of cars and dogs and parents adorned the wall.
