When Dan got to his dorm room that evening his roommate, Ken, asked about his date.
"Wild weekend, Dan?"
"I enjoyed it." Dan replied.
"Come on. I saw who picked you up. She looked old enough to be your mother."
"Drop it, Ken."
"Nothing wrong with an older woman. Especially if she wants sex. I wouldn't mind one." Ken replied. "Come on. What's she like?"
He paused, then said, "Yeah, she is pretty hot. We can't get enough of each other."
"All right!" Ken replied.
Dan sat at his computer. Then thought a moment. "You really want to go out with an older woman, Ken?"
"If she's hot, yes!"
"Ellen has a friend. I might be able to arrange a meeting. And yes, she's hot too."
"A blind date with a horny old woman? Sure."
"Older woman." He corrected him, "I'll see what I can do."
Dan waited until Monday to text Ellen about a meet up between Ken and Victoria. A while later she replied that Victoria would love to meet Ken, and to bring him along Wednesday evening. He relayed this to Ken who was all for it. Now Dan wouldn't have to borrow his car, Ken will drive.

Wednesday morning Ellen got a call from a friend, a professor at the college.
"Ellen, hi. Would you be willing to do a favor? I have a student who is a wiz at statistics. She's thinking of a career in the field, and you might be able to give her an idea about the options."
"Sure Becky. Give her my number and have her text me."
"Thanks, Elly."
Soon, Ellen received a text from Jennifer. They arranged a meeting that afternoon at a nearby coffee bar. Ellen sent a picture, so she'd know who to look for. Ellen left work a little early and arrived at the coffee bar. She ordered a cappuccino and, as it was a mild October day, she sat outside.
Soon a petite young woman appeared.
"Are you Ellen?" She asked.
"Yes, Jennifer?"
Ellen looked at her. No more than five foot two, and that's with three-inch heels. Yet a very womanly body in that small form. And a warm face framed by long dark hair.
She sat and they began to talk.
"I understand you're a math major and are looking for career options." Ellen asked.
"Yes, Professor Jones said you're a statistician. I find the subject fascinating." Jennifer replied.
They talked about the field. Ellen learned she was a junior, and 20. They talked for an hour or so.
"I wish I'd given more time to talk, but I have to go soon." Ellen said. "Perhaps another time?"
"A hot date?" Jennifer asked rather impishly.
Ellen smiled, realizing it WAS going to be a hot rendezvous. "Umm, yes... sort of."
"I would like to ask you some more questions, if you have the time?" Jennifer asked.
"I'd love to talk more. Can you come by my place tomorrow, Jennifer?"
"That would great! By the way, my friends call me Jen."
Ellen gave her the address. "Eight okay?"
"Yes. See you then."
As Ellen left, Jennifer watched her lovely form walk away. She was always attracted to older women, and she liked what she saw now.
"Too bad she has a man." Jennifer thought to herself.
*****************
Ellen arrived home. She thought about Jennifer, that cute young thing. And she thought about Dan. She thought about how they would be a match, and if he wasn't her lover, she'd play matchmaker. But she loved making love to him and wasn't ready to give him up yet. She thought about all those young women at his school and what they were missing. But what if she was holding him back, from finding someone his own age. Her mind became a swirl of conflicts.
A knock at the door snapped her out of it. It was Victoria.
"Hi Vicky, they'll be here soon. Want something?"
"Just to see what this guy looks like. And hope he likes what he sees." Victoria replied.
"Oh, I think he will, Vicky. Dan tells me he has a libido too. And that outfit will be hard to miss."
"Think it's too much?" Victoria asked.
Ellen just smiled and Victoria smiled back at the prospect. They pour a glass of wine and sat down. It wasn't long before the doorbell rang. Ellen opened the door for Ken and Dan. Victoria got her first look at Ken. He was taller than Dan, perhaps six feet. And clearly the body of an athlete.
"Ken, this is Ellen and Victoria."
"So, you're Dan's roommate. Victoria is my next-door neighbor and dear friend."
Dan and Ellen sat in the love seat, leaving the sofa for Victoria and Ken.
"So, Ken, what year are you in?" Victoria asked.
"A freshman too, like Dan."
They talked some more. Ken told of going out for baseball in the spring, a pitcher. The conversation turned to what they were studying. Ken mentioned being a computer science major.
"Computers! Don't get me started." Victoria chimed in. "I just bought a printer, and the computer won't talk to it."
"It's probably something simple." Ken replied. "I can look at it some time, if you'd like."
"It just next door. Would you mind?" She asked.
"Let's go." He replied.
They headed out the door. As they left, Victoria turned and gave them a wink.
When the door closed, Ellen laughed. "Well, that was easy!"
Ellen and Dan kissed then held each other a minute. They returned to the sofa.
"Lay down and put your head in my lap." She asked.
She looked at him, this beautiful young man, her lover. She hugged him then kissed him. He looked at her and saw her eyes were watery.
"What is it, El?"
She smiled and paused. "I don't know. It's just how you make me feel, I guess."
