A few days after mother had told me all about the agreement she and her friends had made to teach their boys to become good lovers she told us that a very dear old friend of hers would come and visit in a couple of days. She was excited about it since she hadnât seen her for a long time. Emma, her friend, lived abroad since long, in Paris. Emma had asked if she could bring a friend of hers. Mother had of course invited her as well. Mother was even more excited when she said that the woman was a mulatto but was a little hesitant about that she only spoke French.
My sisters and I didnât know what a mulatto was and mother didnât explain it to us. May be she didnât knew. We assumed that it meant that she was from another region or country. We were more concerned about the language problem. We hadnât learnt French in school. Mother immediately started to teach us a few simple words like âbonjourâ, âouiâ, ânonâ, âmerciâ.
Motherâs excitement made us tense the day Emma and her friend should arrive. But I was away in late afternoon when they came and met them first at dinner.
Emma came first. She swept into the dining room. She was tall with brown joyful eyes. She was very elegant in a low cut dress. Her breasts looked big, pushed up as they were and nicely displayed with a deep cleavage. Her legs were long and slender at least what could be seen.
Emma hugged me, a real bear hug. She kissed me the French way on both cheeks and then a third time. But I misunderstood and when she pulled my head forward for the third kiss my nose landed in her cleavage. Her perfume smelled good and her upper breasts were soft and nice. She held me close for what seemed to be a long time before she let me loose.
âOh Anders, itâs been such a long time since I last saw you. Letâs see, it must be five or six years ago. You really have grown and become a handsome young man I must say.â
Just then her friend came into the room. I just stared at her. All I could apprehend was that her skin was dark. Not sunburned but dark like dark chocolate. I was mesmerized and kept on staring.
âAnders, Anders, wake up and say hallo to Monique,â I finally heard my mother say and she pushed me forward.
Monique greeted me as Emma had done with French kissing on both cheeks. She smelled good from a light perfume.
Slowly I recovered and could take the whole of her in. She was of normal height with a curvy body and really good-looking. And of course she looked very exotic to me. She also wore an elegant evening dress that emphasized her body. And her skin was dark
I had never before seen a colored person. In school we had read about the African people but had never really understood what it meant or thought much about it. It was too exotic and far away for young people in rural Sweden in the thirties. But here was a colored person in my own home and she looked marvelous.
I noticed that my sisters were as quiet as I was.
During dinner I had time to watch her. Mother spoke only a little French and Emma had to translate to Monique. But they seemed to be used to it and the tension eased. Now and then Monique picked up my staring at her and smiled back. Even my father was charmed by her.
After dinner mother and Emma were talking. I sat silent in a corner and after a while they forgot about my presence. Father did his best to talk with Monique.
âMonique is really good-looking and has such a stunning body. Tell me her story,â mother asked Emma.
âWell, she is the daughter of an African woman and a French colonial officer who was honest and took Monique and her mother with him to France when he returned home. She is partly raised in Paris where I met her some years ago. We are very good friends although she is a bit younger,â Emma answered.
Then Emma said something that really caught my interest.
âWhen I see you with your son I suddenly remember something we girls talked about a long time ago. We decided that we should teach our sons-to-be to become good lovers. I have completely forgotten about that until just now. I havenât heard any of our friends talk about it either so it was just a good idea I guess. But we certainly had some good ideas then. A good sex life is essential. That was the main reason for my divorce.â Emma said to mother.
âOh, I am sorry about that. But you are right, itâs important. I remember that you really liked sex. Was he really that bad?â
âWell, I wouldnât say that was the only reason for the divorce but I think that if the sex had been good the rest could have been sorted out. What about yours?â
âOh, itâs great,â mother said and lowered her voice. âMy husband wants me every day and more often than not he takes me twice. And he is good at it. I got more than I need and I love it.â
âOh, you are lucky then. So your husband doesnât need any encouragement? Otherwise I would have volunteered like in the old times,â Emma said giggling
âOh, that wouldnât do any harm, would it?â Mother said and laughed deeply.
âWell, we were pretty wild back then, werenât we? What about Anders, is he as good as his father?â Emma asked with a smile.
âHow would I know? I am his mother. I donât sleep with my son,â mother said in a pretended stern voice.
âOh, come on. A mother always knows, doesnât she?â Emma giggled.
âWell, if you must know, I think he is pretty good. At least that was what our friends told me. You know, some of us kept that old idea alive and turned it into action. In fact Anders has been introduced and trained this very summer. And there have been a number of other boys. The reason that you havenât been involved I guess is that you donât have a son. We thought that it had to be a mutual thing.â
âOh, well, I guess I would have volunteered if somebody had asked. But now there arenât many boys left from our group, is it?â Emma said with some sadness in her voice.
The conversation ended because Monique and father joined them.
