The dining room table looked like the scene from a porno movie. The eight people sitting around the large table have about four articles of clothing between them. Alisha was still in her apron as she sat platters and bowls of food down the center of the table. Martha was assisting her. When they were finished, they joined the crowd sitting down. Zack was at the head of the table with Dawn opposite him. The other eight were sitting where ever they felt like. Amy was on Dawn's left with Alisha beside her. Martha was on the other side of Alisha with Roger sitting on the end next to Zack. Opposite Roger was Sharon, with Jacob, Kathryn and then Carlos on Dawn's right. Alisha had removed her apron, revealing a very thick, but neatly shaped bush. Amy was amazed, whether it was her pubic mound or just all the hair, but it puffed out further than her taunt stomach by a good margin. When she sat, Amy was able to see thick pink lips protruding from all that hair. The middle of the table was set with simple, but plentiful, fair. There was mashed potatoes and cream gravy, corn on the cob, green beans, macaroni and cheese, pork steaks and a salad. It wasn't special or fancy food. It was more like what her Momma made for Sunday dinner.
Amy was a little surprised, with the house and land and the cars she expected fillet mignon and caviar with champagne or wine. Her confusion was noticed.
"You are probably wondering where the 'rich folk' food is," the laughter was obvious in Zack's voice.
"Well, yeah actually." Amy answered with her usual directness.
"This is the kind of food I grew up on. When we have parties or business dinners either here or when we go out, then yeah... I will eat the high dollar, fancy pansy stuff everyone thinks the rich should order. But here, we eat normal everyday food. But we also eat healthy." Zack chuckled at Amy's raised eyebrows. The pork steak was shimmering with grease and the gravy was thick and rich. "OK... so not so healthy tonight. One night a week we eat like this. Other nights we have a lot of different things."
"I cooked grilled chicken salad last night," Alisha chimed in.
"And it was delicious too." Dawn answered with several words of agreement and praise from around the table.
"So you newbies got lucky tonight. What is on the menu for tomorrow Alisha?" Zack looked down the table waiting for an answer.
"Well I had planned on doing sautéed chicken over rice with steamed asparagus and mushroom sauce, but with the new additions I have not gone over their dietary balance and their food allergies."
Everyone laughed this time at the looks on Amy, Kathryn and Jacob's faces. "Alisha is more than a damn good cook, she is also a dietician and helps keep us healthy and in shape. Now, let's dig in." So saying, Zack grabbed a bowl in front of him and began loading his plate.
From there the conversation broke up into individual discussions. Amy found herself chatting with Alisha and Dawn quite easily. They asked questions about her college courses, her past, and anything else that piqued their interest. She soon found herself talking about her past sex life; her soon to be ex-boyfriend in particular.
"Now don't get me wrong, Brad is a good guy. He is kind and good-natured, just a little naive in the bedroom. He has a good looking body, and a nice thick cock, he just doesn't really know how to use it. Plus he is not as... as..." She paused for a second to think of the right word. "As adventurous as I would like him to be. For instance, I am sure both of you ladies have your selection of toys, am I right?" When both nodded she continued, "Well Brad didn't see the need for toys in the bedroom, he felt he was enough for any woman. He, and I quote, 'Don't need help from some damn piece of plastic.'" She took a moment to sip her iced tea as the other two laughed. "And his ideas on bi- and homosexuality are something from the Dark Ages. So, even before I found this job I was going to break it off with him. With all the sex I will be getting here, it wouldn't be fair to him to try and keep our failing relationship going."
"Don't worry dear, Alisha and I can understand completely. Alisha here was in a similar situation when she started too. Hers was a little more... um... unsettling."
"Unsettling? How so?" Amy turned to Alisha, who held up her hand. It took Amy a few minutes to notice a band of lighter colored skin around one finger. "OH. You were married?"
"Engaged actually, for almost three years. But if you don't mind I don't really want to talk about it." Amy hastened to agree and changed the subject. About that time she noticed that everyone was done eating and was just talking and sipping on their drinks. She was about to turn back to her conversation when Zack stood up.
"OK everyone. I would like to thank Alisha for cooking an excellent meal once again." He paused to let everyone else add their nods or murmured agreements. "Alright, Jacob, for now I would like you to help Sharon clear the table and clean up the kitchen, then you are both free for the night. Kathryn, I think Roger has gone over everything he could for today, so you are free for the night as well. Amy, I would like to see you in my office again to go over some visits I have to make tomorrow. I believe Christy will be here in about ten minutes to help familiarize you with the PDA and laptop assigned to you. You can find me in my office afterward. Once we are through, we can have Roger or even Kathryn take you back to pick up anything you need for an overnight stay. Kathryn, would you like to stay tonight as well or do you have to head home?"
Kathryn looked up and down the table. "Yes, I would like to stay, but where would I sleep?" Several variations of "She can sleep in my bed" were heard around the table, but Kathryn made eye contact with Amy, and nodded. A rush of emotions welled up inside the cute blonde; hope, arousal, anticipation, and maybe even a little bit of love for the dark haired beauty. "Well now that that is cleared up, I would be happy to take Amy or Jacob back to get clothes for the night. Plus I need to let my parents know I got a job and will be moving out."
"Good. That would work best for everyone. And tomorrow we can arrange a truck to help you move all of your stuff here or into storage as needed."
A quiet cough brought everyone's attention to Jacob. "I... um... I don't need to pick anything up. I... uh... already have everything I own with me." That raised a few eyebrows, and caused some looks to be exchanged. Zack smoothly continued speaking.
