Pt II: Déjà Vu, All Over Again
"Clarissa, this is Michael O'Dell, your father"
I don't know who was more astounded, her, or me.
"But, mother, he can't be over 40." Clarissa declared.
"By my count, 39. Am I correct?" Claire said.
Still dumbstruck, I just nodded, the awkwardness of the moment leaving me mute. I finally ended the awkward silence, by asking Claire, "Why didn't you tell me?"
"It was the times, Michael." Claire answered, "And the situation. If I admitted that you were the father of my baby, eventually, the fact that you were my student would have surfaced and my teaching career would have been over. Besides, you weren't even in college yet. How could you have cared for us?"
I settled down on the couch flanked by both women, sipping the coffee Claire's daughter had given me. " I ..I.. don't know what to say."
"Nothing needs be said, Michael. I gave in to some powerful primal urges with you. My biological clock was ticking loudly. I found you sweet, charming, vulnerable. I knew you wouldn't be able to deny me. I'm sorry I took advantage of you. But I make no more apologies. And look at the results!" Claire said, pointing to her daughter.
Turning my head, I looked at Clarissa. Same bookish look. Slighter figure. Claire's hair was straight, long, and chestnut brown, Clarissa's was red and curly, just like mine. Where mother had a rubenesque figure, daughter was taller, more willowy. Claire's most prominent feature was her magnificent bust. Clarissa had not inherited her mothers breasts, or her mother's penchant for conservative clothing, but I sensed that she had inherited Claire's sensuality. She sat next to me in a snug tee shirt, no bra visible, and a pair of skin tight shorts that left next to nothing to the imagination. I found myself in the uncomfortable position of being turned on by these two women, one of whom was my own daughter! I folded my hands in my lap trying to hide the growing bulge in my pants.
"Rissa, why don't you set another place at the table for our guest. He's going to have dinner with us!" Claire asked. Her daughter got up off the couch and slid between me and the coffee table, her denim clad pussy mere inches from my face.
While her daughter prepared the table and took over the cooking chores, Claire and I caught up on old times, with both of us relating the gory details of failed marriages and successful careers.
Presently, Rissa, as she preferred being called, brought out wine glasses and a sassy Gewurztraminer from a nearby Finger Lakes winery. After a while, I found myself getting a little toasted, as wine kept appearing just as I thought the bottle was empty.
Dinner came, and with it more wine. Dinner was cleared from the table, but the wine continued to flow. Before I knew it, I'd had more than my share of alcohol .and worried about driving home, more than two hours away. Reading my mind, Claire said, rather sternly, "Mr. O'Dell, hand me your keys. You're in no shape to get behind the wheel!"
I handed her my car keys and sat down on the couch, where her daughter promptly handed me another glass of wine. Jokingly, I said to both women, "You're just trying to get me drunk so you can have your way with me!" Expecting vehement protests to the contrary, I was surprised by the dead silence. When I looked each in the eye, they just smiled.
Rissa excused herself and headed for her room while we sat for a while longer, polishing off another bottle. Claire stood up, took my hand and led me to the bedroom. "Michael, its time for bed." she said.
