The idea for these narratives started as talks with my wife about my sex drive vs. hers. She holds the viewpoint that I am somewhat overly focused on sex at our age, which is for us, early our 50s. We have had many discussions and comparing of experiences, what it all actually accomplished is yet to be seen.
What I Learned in College- Chapter 4.3 – Playing with Liz –
After having my balls fucked of by Janice and Liz, I did get a good night's sleep. I did have another thing I didn't want to muss that weekend. If everyone was true to form, my folks would sleep in until after 9 and My Grandmother would be up and out in the sunroom drinking coffee and if I was lucky, there would be homemade biscuits.
Everything was as it should be at 7:30 that Saturday morning. There was a fresh pot of old school, percolated coffee to which I added a wee dram of rye whiskey and Grandma was out in the sunroom, biscuits, butter and peach preserves at the ready.
"I was thinkin' you had to sleep in from bein' out so late." She said, rolling her eyes for comedy's sake rather than condemnation. The little bit of teasing done with, she continued: "I'm glad your up. I want to here all about your date with Janice."
I told her the appropriate bits and left out the parts about after the date and fucking both girls. She knew way more than she let on about how it was to be young and knew that in her day, I would have passed for being wild. That didn't keep us from having a long talk that called for coffee refills for us both.
What did shock me is that knowing I had been out with Janice and was playing a memorial service with Liz shortly that morning, Grandma offered up a plan for me.
"You should take Liz someplace nice for lunch. She's a sweet girl and in way, your oldest friend. I know you two are good for each other. Are you sure you don't want to change schools for next fall?" she offered.
I have to say that I thought for a second about saying, "Grandma, that a damn good idea! I just found out Janice and Liz want to live off campus and the rent would be cheaper with three, than two. I bet they'd like having a guy around for safety and fixin' things..."
That would have been fun.
What I said was; "You so right. Liz is good company and it's gonna be a long summer so we should have some fun after playing a funeral...geez!"
I got an "all part of the plan" smile form Grandma and just so I knew she still didn't miss anything, as got I got up to go get ready, she suggested that I stop on my way home and pick up another bottle of whiskey, adding, "You're gonna need that while your home."
After getting cleaned up and dressed, warming up my trombone and lips and managing to get out of the house without really talking to my Mom, thankfully, I was one the way to pick up Liz. Liz cleared the front door of her folks place before I could even come to a stop and get out of the car.
I got out and opened the door for her after getting a good look at her walking towards me in pumps, a just below the knees black dress and black and white summer weight sweater that worn by itself, would have had been called "see through".
Liz also had a little black purse, a pair of dark shades and her up in a tight French braid. I had never seen her do that with her hair. Even after the night before, my cock was uncomfortably hard by the time she made it to the car. I hoped Liz missed that detail.
When I cheerfully said, "Good morning, hon." , so as to be familiar with her and see what her reaction might be, I got a surprise.
"Oh, fuck!" was Liz's reply. Sometimes I know when to keep my mouth shut and that's what I did. I got her door closed got in the car and headed for the church. All I did was breath and hope it wasn't all about me.
"Mal, I'm sorry about that. I want to talk with you about why I'm pissed, and by the way, You have nothing to do with this bullshit. I need to get my head together and get the performance done. "kay?"
Once again, not being an idiot and enjoying my reprieve, I said to Liz,
"Whatever you need, I in."
"Good. I hope you're not busy this afternoon because this may take awhile and I'm in no hurry to be back home." Liz continued.
"I'm all yours..." I offered.
Getting back to what I had always thought was a charming level of bluntness, Liz looked at me over her shades as she answered;
"Really? All mine? I guess I did get some of what was up Janice's ass when I got there last night." She declared.
"Liz, I'll fuck you in the ass if will improve your attitude. But I think I'll have do do you harder than I did Janice..." I said, pushing the boundaries as always.
"You'll always have to do me harder than Janice, she's a princess and a cupcake. I should know, right? How in hell did you get her to let you...never mind." She finished, shaking her head in continuing disbelief at what she had seen Janice and I doing.
By the time we got to the church, we had cut all the bullshit and we both were all business. There's nothing interesting to telling about playing at a memorial service. It's always the longest hour and a little more of my life because I hate funerals. We played the requested piece, made up a version of a favorite hymn requested at the last minute and got through the service with our usual grace and panache.
We got paid before the service and Liz was handed an extra envelope after for doing the request. A graceful escape was made as soon as the thanks you and hand shaking was accomplished.
When we got to my car, Liz flopped into the passenger seat as if she was exhausted. After closing the passenger door, I got in and got us away from the church, hoping that better things were ahead for the afternoon.
I wasn't sure I was going to get my wish because we were barely down the road when Liz let out a big sigh and said, "Fuck, I hate anything like a funeral. I hate churches, ministers and all that shit. Fuck it all!"
I kept my mouth shut. Liz didn't need me to second her rant; she was practically quoting me anyway. Before I could get up the nerve to ask, Liz told me what she wanted.
"Take us to the Bellman House." She requested.
The Bellman house was an old 1870s era hotel that, as was the practice back then, had a restaurant and now possessed a nice "salon" with an antique brass bar. Liz's Uncle had conceived of the renovation of the building and most of her family had invested in the project such that as a group, they held a 60% interest in the place. What that got Liz was run of the place and occasional trips to the bar, even though we were slightly under age.
We made it into the bar and Liz, after settling her things, excused herself and asked me to order us drinks. My concentration on her swaying ass was broken by the waitress's arrival and query as to what she could get for us.
"Irish whiskey and soda for me and Bourbon and a touch of 7up for the lady please."
I answered to the hot blonde waitress who had to be at least five years older than the two of us. She was attractive, but Liz put her in the shade several ways.
Liz came back just as our drinks were arriving. She had shed her sweater and now I could she her dress much better. What I could see much better was Liz's cleavage every time she leaned over. Her slender built, the cut of the dress and her generous tits guaranteed a great view. After the night before, she knew what she was doing. I wasn't so self-deluded as to think she hadn't known I would have been hers a long time ago. All she would have had to have to have done was ask.
I wasn't sure I really wanted a drink at noontime, but I didn't see the point in letting Liz drink alone. Liz was sure. She sat down, looked at me with decisive gaze that I wasn't sure how to read and took a sip of her drink. Well, I thought it was going to be a sip, but what actually happened was that Liz downed half the tumbler of Bourbon and 7 and finished her show with a "Whew, I needed that."
I took a sip or two of my drink and continued to let Liz set the pace of our not as of yet initiated conversation on the topic of her discontent. I have to admit that I was concerned about how much of her concerns could be pegged to my actions. But what else do you consider when you're a self-concerned 20 year old?
Liz took a second run at her drink and finished it, got the bartender attention and motioned for another one for her self and not for me. The question was would I wish I'd had another before long?
My patience was expended and so was my tact. I heard myself saying, "Liz, can you tell me what going on before you get totally loaded?" and wishing I hadn't asked. Her gaze fixed on me with I look I had seen before that said, "Really,..okay..."
She finally began clueing me, saying:
"My Mom got had breakfast ready when I got home this morning. She wanted to 'talk'.
What she actually wanted was to ask me why I don't have a boyfriend and why I haven't really ever had one. Malcolm, she asked me if I'm a lesbian and if Janice is my girlfriend."
This was the point at which I wished for my sake I wasn't in this. I'd just found out that she and Janice were having sex. The fact that it hadn't kept either one of them from fucking me was very clear to me, but still sort of a crazy thing at the same time.
