Note from Slick: Remember when we played the OLD MAID game as kids and how upset we were when we got stuck with her? Well these couples found out that getting the OLD MAID was not that really that bad. All rights reserved.

Anna Davis was peeking out her front window at the large moving van backing up at the house across her cul-de-sac. The house had been empty for almost three months and she was being nosey wondering who her new neighbors were. Their development was very upscale with houses listing in the $800,000 range so most of the folks living there were professional doctors, lawyers or politicians. She noticed a sleek new Mercedes pull up and watched as a woman exited the car. When the woman turned she gasped. The woman was black.
"John," she started, "you are not going to believe who moved into the Wilson house.
John, the newly elected mayor of Orville, tried to get her off the phone. "Who is it dear?"
"Blacks!"
At first John didn't understand. "What's the name?"
"No," she whispered, "Blacks.......Negroes."
"For gods sake Anna this is not the eighteen hundreds. I've got to go," he said as he hung up. John realized his wife was raised in Alabama but he thought she was over the black thing by now. After all they had been living in Pennsylvania for almost fifteen years.
Anna ran back to the window and panicked when she saw the black woman turn and look at her house. Suddenly the woman started walking her way.
"OH GOD!" Ann exclaimed. She heard the doorbell and froze. After a minute she heard it again. Finally she opened it and stared into the most beautiful black woman's face she had ever seen.
"Hi, I'm Faye," the woman said smiling. "I'm your new neighbor across the circle."
"Oh hello, I'm Anna," she said holding her white hand out to mix with the caramel hand of her new neighbor.
"I was wondering if you could give me the phone numbers of the utilities. Our agent was supposed to leave me a list but must have forgotten."
"Sure," Anna said as she started to close the door. "Oh how rude of me. Please come in."
Faye walked in and quickly checked out the white woman's house. "Very nice," she said looking around. She saw a photo of Anna, a man and a young man on the bookshelf. "Is this your family?"
"Uh....yes. That's my husband John and our son Jake." She found the listing and made a copy of it on the fax machine.
"When are you moving in?" Anna asked. She noticed the woman's dress must have cost a good penny.
"Now," Faye grinned. "But, if we don't get any power I guess we will have to stay in a motel somewhere."
What possessed her to say the next words out of her mouth was beyond Anna's understanding. "You can stay with us if you want."
"Really?" Faye asked. Normally a black family would not be so quickly accepted in a predominantly white neighborhood.
"Sure, we have an extra room."
"You know we might just take you up on that offer," Faye said smiling. "I'll check with my husband and let you know."
"Great," Anna smiled. "If you need anything else let me know."
Faye walked out of the door totally shocked. "Yes it is the North but blacks and whites just don't mix this fast," she thought.
Anna was proud of herself as she called her husband back. "What now?" John asked.
"Hello to you....smarty-pants," Anna snapped back. "I just wanted you to know that I invited the blacks."
"What are you talking about?" John asked. He knew his wife was a little ditsy but this one was really confusing.
"The BLACKS," she pronounced. "The new neighbors..........I invited them to stay with us tonight because they don't have any power."
"Jesus Anna, we don't even know them," he said upset.
"Well you told me to be more open to them."
"OK fine," John groaned. "I'll see you later."
Anna kept peeking out at the progress the movers were making and saw them leave around 5:00PM. She was sitting reading a book when the doorbell rang again. She opened it to see Faye and a handsome black man standing on her front porch.
"Hi Anna," Faye said smiling. "This is my husband Tom."
"Glad to meet you," Anna smiled. "Haven't I seen you on TV? Do you play basketball?"
"Nope," Tom chucked as he held the small white fingers in his huge hand. "We don't all play basketball."
"Oh....," Anna said embarrassed. "I didn't mean to........."
"It's OK," Faye laughed. "And, I hate fried chicken." Suddenly they all broke out laughing.
"Are you going to stay with us tonight?" Anna asked. Her eyes roamed up and down Tom's muscular body. Her eyes stared a little too long at his crotch as she remembered how must bigger black men were supposed to be.
"If it's OK?" Faye said noticing where Anna was looking.
'Yes, please come in," Anna smiled. She noticed they had their bags with them. "Your room will be upstairs. Please follow me."
Faye and Tom followed her up the stairs and noticed her robe was just a little too short. Faye peeked to see Tom's eyes looking at her creamy white thighs. Another inch or two and he would know the color of her panties if she was wearing any.
Anna opened the door and stood back as they walked in. The extra bedroom was huge with a large bath off to the side. "This is very nice," Faye said looking around. "We really appreciate you doing this."
"It's not a big deal," Anna smiled. She was really starting to like them. "I'll leave you alone to get comfortable."
As soon as the door closed Tom grabbed Faye and pulled her to the large bed. "What are you doing?" Faye gasped. She turned and saw the familiar look in his eyes. "Oh no, not now," she said pushing him back. But he was not to be denied. "She might hear us?"
"Good," Tom whispered. "I want her to."
Faye felt his hands pulling down her black thongs. "I thought we said no more swinging?" It was him that had gotten jealous when they recently swapped with another couple.
"But this is different," he smiled as he looked up under her dress at her shaven pussy lips and small patch of curly black hair over them.
"We've never done white," Faye moaned as his long fingers opened her moist lips.
