My name is Amy Parker, and I am a high school teacher in a small Midwest town. This is final part of a story that started in 2011 when I was just finishing my second year as a teacher. I had allowed four of the senior football players in my Art Appreciation class to trick me into posing nude for them the day after graduation. It had actually turned out well for me, resulting in my marriage to the football coach. We had been married for 4 1/2 years.
--------------------------------------------------
By the summer of 2016, I had taught for seven years. My husband, the football coach, for ten. As viewed by others, we appeared to be two young, responsible adults. Now, with two incomes, we were able to put money into both our retirement accounts. We also re-furnished the house we were renting and gave away or donated the old furniture - with the permission of the owners. We had a five-year plan: in addition to new furniture, we bought new cars and were now saving for a downpayment to buy a house. Then we would start a family. We had settled into comfortable and rewarding lives.
I still worked out several times a week to keep myself in shape. If anything, I had a more attractive body than I did 5 years ago. My husband, Coach, appreciated that.
The summer of 2016 was ending; we were four years into our five-year plan when we hit a snag. The house we were renting was about to go up for sale. We had not saved nearly enough for a downpayment. We had until November to figure this out; we might have to get an apartment for a year or two. That would add an additional move and probably delay buying a house. School was about to start again, and we had no plan.
September arrived along with the start of school, the start of football, homecoming, and another set of reunions. Our graduated classes returned every five years to see each other, reminisce about their high school years, and share how they were doing.
The routine was well established. On Friday night, there was a mixer in the gym before the football game. On Saturday some of the older reunion classes would gather at the home of a local graduate for brunch, other classes would just sleep-in. Saturday night the cafeteria hosted the Reunion Party, with a live band and decorations.
The reunion events were not lavish affairs, the Reunion Committee had the unenviable job of finding the right balance. Charge too much, folks don't come; charge too little, the two major events were dreary and disappointing.
As one of the newest teachers, I had been assigned the responsibility of treasurer for the reunions. It was my job to work with the committee chairs, deposit the checks from the attendees, and settle the bills. It was always a scramble to settle the bills with the funds available. I was looking forward to the day I could pass this duty to another.
About a month before homecoming, the Reunion Committee Chair came to me with a big smile on her face. One of the attendees for this year's reunions had made an anonymous donation. A REALLY BIG donation. She would not tell me how much but said we would not have to worry about covering the bills this year. She declared that this year's reunion would top any in the school's history and that no one should miss it.
I wasn't going to miss it anyway. It had been five years since I had posed for four of my former students and all four of them had signed up to attend. I was looking forward to seeing them and re-living the experience.
Perhaps a recap is in order. I was a gymnast in high school, and it helped me develop an athletic and trim body, but it wasn't until I was in my senior year in college that my figure filled out and I realized that my body was my superpower. I enjoyed showing it off. I guess I'm a bit of an exhibitionist.
What man doesn't like to see a cute girl with narrow hips, a slender waist, and a nice bust? Few men can resist me in a simple sundress - it leaves my athletic limbs exposed and showcases my trim figure. Fewer men can resist me when I wear a bikini - especially my red one - where the thin fabric sticks to me like a second skin. And no man can resist me when I'm naked.
Only two handfuls of men had had that pleasure. One handful includes my doctor, my two boyfriends in college, a stranger named George I flashed on my honeymoon, and my husband's best friend, Bill. The second handful includes my husband, and the four boys who would be coming to the reunion. The second handful all saw me on the same night.
It was the night I let the four boys trick me into posing naked for them, and then select my final pose. They had me facing them naked on my knees, legs spread apart with my hands clasped together behind my head. It was the most humiliating experience of my life! But it was also the most exciting and most rewarding and led to my marriage to Coach.
Over the years, two of the boys, John and Roger, had dropped by during their college breaks, but I hadn't seen the other two boys in five years. The last time they saw me, I was naked. I thought about my four boys and wondered what had become of them.
Peter was a little clumsy, incredible shy, but the smartest. His only blemish in high school was the A- he earned in my Art Appreciation class. He had been voted "Most likely to succeed" by his classmates. He was a back-up linebacker who only saw action if the game were already either won or lost. The coach kept him on the team because he helped half the senior players with their studies. He was going to Caltech.
Kevin had been the team's kicker - a little quirky like many kickers. He was easy-going and nothing ruffled him. He was an amazingly talented artist who had painted three portraits of me while I posed. He was headed to St. Mary's College, a small liberal arts school back East.
Roger was the handsome quarterback - one of only seven African Americans we had in the senior class that year. He had been elected the class president. He was smart, too. Most of the girls in the school had a crush on him. He had a football scholarship to State to study engineering and would end up as a starting safety for their football team.
John had been a linebacker and the captain of our high school football team. He was the ringleader of their little group. He was also going to State on a football scholarship and was going to study business. I had heard his name mentioned occasionally, he had been a star player at the college level, Second Team All American.
I thought about how irreverent and fun their group had been. I couldn't wait to see them again.
Friday night arrived and I was headed to the pre-game mixer with butterflies in my stomach. Coach wasn't with me for the mixer; as usual, he was involved with his team's pre-game preparations.
I arrived at the gym and was stunned. Next to the gym a huge white tent had been erected. At one end was a long table covered by a white tablecloth that hosted an open bar. Five bartenders were hard at work making drinks for the attendees. On the opposite end was another covered table filled with trays of hors d'oeuvres. Next to the tent were two catering company trucks with servers, dressed in black and white, re-supplying that table. About 300 alumni and guests were in attendance. The Reunion Committee Chairman was right, this was a reunion like no other.
I walked up to the bar and got a glass of white wine then turned to see who I knew. Standing in a small circle talking together were my four boys! They saw me as I approached, and their conversation stopped. All four stared at me in silence. I knew they were undressing me with their eyes, and I felt a familiar surge of excitement. The gang was together again.
"Hello boys." I announced. "It is great to see you all."
