At Christmas I again went to my Sister Karen's home in Idaho Falls. We had an all-family Christmas dinner. Karen's kids and Christine's kids were present so the adults did not deteriorate into debauchery. I again left Idaho Falls a few days before Christmas break ended assuming I could use Lauren's apartment until the dorms opened. When I got to the apartment Lauren met me at the door as she had in the fall. "There's someone here who wants to see you," she said. I noticed she was dressed for Salt Lake but I thought nothing of it.
I walked into the apartment expecting Sandra to come running into my arms, but that wasn't what happened at all. A woman about my parents age was sitting on the couch. When she rose I could see that her appearance was something meticulously managed. Even though she was my parents age she had the body of a 25 year old, a very well built 25 year old I might add--a narrow waist setting off nicely rounded hips, attractive but not too broad, and long attractive legs. Her conservative clothing consisted of a tan business suit, a skirt to just below the knees and matching jacket, worn over a white blouse, none of which effectively concealed what was obviously a substantial bosom. She wore conservative height heels in a shade of tan matching her suit. Her thick, shoulder length, blonde hair was meticulously groomed and her make-up was borderline perfect, emphasizing her sparkling blue eyes without making her look anything but classy. She wore a string of pearls and simple god earrings. The lady was obviously in her early forties, but a well preserved forty, a woman who was very careful with her appearance.
Rising to greet me she spoke first, "I assume you are Richard?"
I nodded my head saying, "Yes."
"Allow me to introduce myself," she responded. "My name is Jane, Jane Olsen. I believe you know my daughter Sandra."
Again I nodded.
Lauren spoke up. "I'm sure you two have a good deal to talk about so I will leave you. There are a couple of hours of work I need to do at the bio-lab and then I am off to Salt Lake."
"Thank you dear," Jane responded and then Lauren was gone.
No help at all I thought. She introduces me to the infamous Jane who we all know hates me and then leaves me on my own.
"Please sit down," Jane said, reclaiming her position on the couch. I walked towards a chair opposite her but before I could sit she said, "Wait. Let me look at you."
I stood facing her as she let her eyes roam my face and my frame. Having just arrived from Idaho I was wearing scuffed boots and jeans and a tired looking denim work shirt. I had shaved that morning, but I was in need of a haircut, at least by BYU standards.
"Yes, you are every bit as handsome as I have been told. Please sit down."
Once I was seated, she continued, " I've also been told that you are very bright, especially in math."
I again nodded.
"Math Geek?" she said, her voice cold.
"I enjoy it and I seem to be reasonably good at it."
"Some of your professors seem to think that you are a great deal more than reasonably good at it. I believe they have used the term 'savant'."
"That would imply a mastery of the subject I can't claim after a single year of college."
"Let's not quibble over terminology. It was the Math Department Head's term not mine."
"You've been talking to the faculty about me?"
"Yes. Our family has a great deal of influence with this University. If we want to know about a student, the faculty is happy to help out."
"But why?" I asked.
"Because I wanted to know as much as I could about the cowboy from Idaho my daughter, and my daughter in law are screwing regularly."
"I see."
"You are screwing them aren't you--both of them?"
"A gentleman never tells."
She laughed. "Admirable but irrelevant. The girls tell, both of them. Lauren in particular can't resist sharing all the details with me of what a great fuck you are. And Sandra certainly doesn't deny it." Jane paused as she shook her head. "Really I just don't know about Lauren. She is so talented, but discretion is just not...not her thing I guess." She shook her head again. As she spoke she crossed and uncrossed her legs showing me an increasing amount of thigh each time. Was Jane coming on to me I wondered?
"Richard," she said, abandoning the subject of my sex with her daughter and daughter-in-law, "I understand that Sandra brought back some excellent wines from France. I do so like a good wine and I assume you know where she keeps them. Could you pour us each a glass?"
"Yes, of course. Is a jelly jar okay for a glass? We don't have formal wine glasses here."
Jane laughed. "That's how we good Mormons tell ourselves we aren't drinking wine. Who drinks wine from a jelly jar?"
I left the room shaking my head, once again reminded that people don't always live up to the image they project. I returned with a newly opened bottle of chilled white wine (a real cork and not the usual jug with a twist off cap) and poured each of us a jar full. While I was gone Jane had shed her jacket and released a couple of buttons on her blouse. When she leaned forward to accept the jelly jar I offered her I could see a good deal of enticing cleavage behind her partially opened blouse. I filled my own jelly jar and after setting the bottle on the table next to Jane I turned to return to my chair.
"No Richard. Sit here next to me. We have things to discuss."
I sat next to her, but still trying to maintain distance.
