I watched as the lonely Beamer quietly rolled off to town. Damn! I had this night planned down to a T:
1. Hire Cheryl my faithful sitter for the night.
2. Go to a nice dinner.
3. Make a meal out of the apt but clueless Michael Lipton.
Goddamn it I'm horny tonight. Why in the hell did he have to work this night! It's late for Christ's sake. I'm an attractive divorcee and find so little interested parties that's interested in a horny single mother no matter how attractive. Muttering to myself as I opened the front door. I aimlessly threw my keys at the candy dish / throw-all receptacle in the front hallway. That's right it misses; well that sums up tonight. I cuss at the mess as I bend over to pick up the keys.
I heard a gasp from my front room. I walk around the front foyer into the front room to find
two
scared college girls sitting in my front room. Cheryl I am ready for but who is this with her. A short pretty coed has come to her aid for the night. Cheryl let's out her breath as she sees me enter. "Mrs. Betcher its you thank god,.... you're back already?!"
"Yes hon I'm so sorry this night was cut short. I know you had a nights worth of babysitting money looking at you but he had to work," with a disgusted sigh I add, "my nights shot."
I looked at her soft brown hair, parted back into a ponytail, someone knuckled down for a night of studying. I look at her and smile to her friend with her. Her friend smiled back a sexy smile under her round coed locks. I see her smiling face between her short blond little Dutch-girl hair cut her cheeks framed by the locks as they curl inwardly towards her gentle chin.
"Oh sorry this is Gwen she's in my class at school. Gwen, Mrs. Betcher."
The girl stood up and my she was a short one. "Carole Gwen, I don't know why Cheryl insists on being so formal. She makes me out to be so old. I'm only 27 Cheryl."
She giggled back at me, "Glad to meet you Carole, I know how Cheryl is, she's always that way. I told her she'll never get any guys at school being so formal. I've got sisters your age don't worry." Her dainty hands were warm and sincere in her handshake. There was no sign of polish on her nails. "I enjoy my sisters a lot they don't treat me like I'm a kid anymore and they help me out a lot."
Cheryl blushed at her and frowned, I was guessing she was registering that her night of babysitting was over, and hence her money for the night. I smiled back at her. "Don't worry Cheryl, I'm still going to pay you for the night. Its not your fault my night was cut short." Her face beamed at my proposal as I realized she needed some money for school and I wasn't one to cut her short because I got cut short.
"Well shoot, Gwen let's go I guess. I don't think studying will be in the cards tonight. Too busy at home and the library's closed by now. Besides I don't want to study this dirty stuff at the library anyway."
"Dirty stuff? What's dirty about college silly?" I nudged her playfully.
"Oh Mrs. Bet.. I mean Carole, its biology stuff.... part of my sex ed class. We were studying abnormalities in anatomical differences. Gwen was showing me hers!?" She laughed immaturely and turned red. I confusingly looked at Gwen who was also turning a pink shade. "Go on Gwen show her... hee hee!"
It was Gwen's turn to get embarrassed as she laughed back at her. "C'mon Cheryl. I tell you something in secret and you blab it out!"
"Oh Gwen come on show her its not like you have to show a third boob or something! Come on, show her!"
I saw Cheryl smile and laugh. "Look Carole.. Look!" I looked quickly back at Gwen who was standing there expectantly. I looked at her body... what a third nipple or something? I looked up and saw something amazing her tongue was touching the middle of her nose tip! "Hee hee isn't that funny it's huge!" bellowed Cheryl.
Gwen's tongue quickly retracted as she turned even a darker shade of red. "Cheryl cut it out!" she pleaded back. "I told you my family teases me about it all the time. My sister say's I use it to clean my nose out... like I'd really dome something that gross!"
Laughingly I say, "Oh my gosh Gwen will you marry me?! I wish my ex had been so gifted!"
Both girls giggled at that suggestion, revealing just how much high school maturity was still engrained in them. They were giggling incessantly gathering up the notes and college textbooks they had been studying in before my arrival. "Yeah Gwen when's the big date?" Gwen got a little embarrassed at the attention; it was something she wasn't comfortable being kidded about ,but she took it in stride. She lightly punched at Cheryl as she put away her last book in her green backpack. Both were packed as I dug into my purse.
I handed Cheryl the money I had allotted for her in my purse and added a little more. "Why don't you and Gwen stop off on the way home and get a nice hot pizza."
She got a smile on her face and took the money. "Thank you so much Mrs... Carole. Gwen why don't you take the pizza money I'm not very hungry and I guess I should get home. I was going to get up early and go the library, why don't we meet there at ten. We can find out more abnormalities you have then." She broke out in a laugh that again made Gwen blush.
Gwen handled the money in deep thought. "I can't eat a whole pizza by myself! You gotta help me some!"
Having missed my dinner a feeling a night hunger pain overtake me. I suggested, "Well I'll help you Gwen you call it in and we can have it delivered. I got stiffed on dinner tonight and my appetite's intact."
"Well good girls do just that and I'll make my way home." She just lived up the street and it was a safe walk home on a cool autumn night. "Besides you two have wedding plans to work on tonight." Cheryl gave a huge guffaw at her suggestion and I could see Gwen mockingly roll her eyes upward. She opened the door and smiled as she departed, "Just tell me where the honeymoon will be!" She turned to Gwen. "Ten at the library." Gwen grinned and nodded as Cheryl started out the door.
As the door closed on her self imposed laughter Gwen sighed. "God I'm glad I never showed her my tongue like that when we were in high school, I never would have heard the end of it!" She sighed again, "Ok Carole what do you want on the pizza."
My memory clicked as I responded, "Tell you what Gwen, I have a frozen pizza why don't we just share that and you can keep the money. Let's go to the kitchen."
She stuffed the money into her shorts pocket, following me along, guess she could use the funds too. I handed her the frozen box from the freezer. "Ok here it is, tell me the instructions."
She held the package studying it, "Ok, preheat to 450, put in middle rack."
I turned the dial and opened my cabinet, found a cookie sheet and laid it out on the counter. "Well lets go to the living room while we are waiting for the oven to pre-heat."
She followed me as we went to the front room and sat down on the couch. I laid down as she sat at the other end her wrist resting on the arm. She seemed aloof as she sat there watching me stretch out.
"What happened tonight Carole? Me and Cheryl had a night planned out to get the biology studied."
"Well Gwen I'm sorry I screwed up your plans and all. I had a hot plans on this date myself. I could just kill him! You're gonna catch up tomorrow at the library anyway aren't you?"
"It's not just the studies Carole.... well he kind of screwed up some plans of my own Carole, to tell ya the truth." She looked around and quietly tiptoed over to my son's room peeking at him with the door slightly ajar. She tried to keep just enough light to enter the room to spy on the sleeping child. Satisfied that he was fast asleep she returned to the couch. "We really didn't have that much studying anyway. The tongue trick was a little more than just to amuse her." She looked at me seriously to see if the meaning was sinking in on me. "Cheryl....geeze she's so clueless!"
I sat there kind of slow myself and then the light bulb went off. "Oh Gwen you were trying to
