A few months after the modeling adventure and the trip to Ted's place, Clarissa and I were relaxing and watching TV. There was a knock at the door and it was our neighbor Charlie. He was an art instructor, nearing retirement, and dropped by occasionally and we talked about a lot of things. He had seen the nudes of Clarissa I had taken in past years and I think he always kinda liked her. He and I and Clarissa had gone through a lot of her nude pictures together, since we valued his artistic opinion.
Charlie came in and joined us and we cracked a couple of beers for the hot day. He was on his way to teach an evening class and was acting sheepish. Clarissa seemed to understand him pretty well and she asked him what was wrong. It turned out that he needed a model for his figure drawing class because of a last minute problem with his usual life model.
He was embarrassed as he asked her if she would be interested in being his figure model for the night. She just looked at me and I shrugged and smiled. He said it would be only for 2 hours and the class was serious art students... some of whom sometimes modeled for his other classes.
"Are you talking about me posing nude, Charlie?" she asked.
"Well, yeah... do you think you could help us out?"
I quickly chimed in and told her that she might enjoy it, especially since she was so opinionated on how art is being phased out of the schools.
"I'll do it!" She said, sounding partly scared...possibly surprising herself.
"Do you want me to come with you, Hon?" I asked.
"No need, Charlie can bring me home, right Charlie?" He nodded, big smile.
"So what do I bring?" She said, getting up and walking around.
"Nothing..." He laughed nervously. She grabbed his arm and led him to the door and I waved to them as they get into his car.
