Getting off on the right foot is always difficult. My first day with the young men who were to be my charges did not start so badly. Most of it was taken up with luggage and furniture shifting and just getting settled into rooms. I posted a notice for a house meeting and dinner that afternoon at 5:30 pm. I already planned to have pizzas delivered for our first night together.
"Welcome, all of you! You probably already know my name but I'd like to get to know each of you better," I told the small group after we were assembled in the dining room.
My young charges were both thrilled and frightened at meeting me. They had all heard stories, I'm sure, but I knew how important it would be to take charge of the situation. Every one of them was seated now and had at least one piece of pizza in front of them. Peter of course, had three.
"I'm Febe. Tell me something about yourself," I told the young man nearest me to my right.
"Garth," was all he said. He was tall, very slender, very red-faced and for a moment I thought he was having a heart attack. His breathing grew rapid and every part of him visible above the table began to tremble. I waited but he remained silent and finally I had to move on to my next charge. Garth was going to be a challenge of a new sort.
"That's okay, Garth. Maybe we can talk later."
I moved on around the table, prompting them when necessary and doing my best to maintain the sort of maternal, yet restrained attitude I thought was appropriate. Stan and Evan sat together grinning, prepared, I think, for a wild sex party to break out at any moment. I just hoped they could cope with the disappointment that was about to come their way.
Peter introduced himself brusquely with his arms folded before him. Even he was dressed nicely and he had taken the time to shave too. I strode around the table, gave him a peck on the cheek and complimented him on looking so nice. I think I made a couple of the other young men a little jealous. I returned to my spot at the table before continuing.
Next came an astonishing duo, the Spirelli brothers. They were amazingly identical twins. I didn't know if I'd ever be able to tell them apart and I soon discovered the rest of their fraternity brothers simply called them 'Phil-Bill' to avoid having to know if they were talking to Phil or Bill. It didn't bother the twins because they were seldom, if ever, more than two feet apart. I quickly discovered they didn't finish each other's sentences very often. That was because they spoke and moved in unison most of the time. Their introduction was a little eerie. They both spoke at once, and aside from uttering their own individual names, they never once broke from their unison.
"Hi! I'm
Phil/Bill
and I'm happy to meet you. I am an identical twin as you can see but my brother and I have a lot more than looks in common," they said.
I stared at them, dumbfounded for a few seconds before I asked, "How will I ever tell you apart?"
They replied in harmony again, "Oh, you don't have to. We're sidekicks. We're hardly ever apart. Just call us Phil-Bill like everyone else."
Their harmony was slightly unnerving but suddenly I had visions of the two of them teamed up side by side pulling my hot and sweaty body across some deliciously rough terrain like paired draft horses. I blinked hard to shake that vision out of my head but it would not go entirely away. I glanced around the table at all these dashing (Does anyone use that word anymore?) young men and imagined
all
the possibilities just waiting to be explored. I almost began to tremble as I considered the opportunities I would have in the next few weeks to shape their young lives.
"Hi! I'm Evan and you already know me!" said the fellow next to the twins. He seemed awfully nervous for one of the only two young men I actually knew at the table.
"Hello Evan. Glad to see you. I've been looking forward to seeing you again," I said, smiling warmly. "It's going to be a great eight weeks together for all of us," I added. Evan shifted in his seat a bit at that.
I turned to face the last young man at the table and said, "Hello again, Stanley - er, Stan."
"Hello Febe. I hope you're up for a challenging summer." He replied with a sly smile.
"Love a challenge!" I shot back with a knowing smile of my own.
With introductions out of the way we poured sodas to go with the pizza and sat down to eat and chat. There was a moment of silence in the dining room as I dashed into the kitchen for paper napkins. There was murmuring among them the instant I rounded the corner. I overheard a couple of "Wows!" and a low hum that let me know they had watched me as I left the room and they appreciated my outfit.
For my first day in the house I had decided to break one of my own rules just this one time. When I took the job I promised myself I would not spend my own money on clothing. I had already told Stan and Evan as much during my interview. But I had gotten a little eager and decided I would need to make some sort of bold statement on my first day. After all, how would my young charges know what sorts of things I liked to wear if I didn't set a good - and bold - example right from the start?
I spent an entire afternoon shopping and came up with something quite simple but, as their sounds of appreciation let me know, quite saucy. I wasn't nude by any means but I certainly wasn't dressed at all like any sixty-one year-old grandmother they had ever met either. I was dressed in all black. My top was not quite see-through but if I hadn't be wearing a bra, they would all be staring at my nipples right now. As it was, my lacy little black uplift bra was quite visible underneath. I had to cut the label off because I discovered it could be read through the material of my top and I didn't think anyone needed to know my bra size. From the waist down I wasn't wearing much at all. I wanted very much to show off my legs. I may only be five feet tall but my legs are long, slender and, as I've been told by several young men in the past few weeks, quite shapely. I had on a pair of black gladiator sandals - the kind with straps and buckles all the way up my calves - with three-and-a-half inch heels. I wanted to wear shorts but had the hardest time finding what used to be called 'short-shorts' that fit me. I finally resorted to shopping in the little girls' department for a pair of black shorts and found a pair that was intended for a ten year-old who hadn't quite developed yet. I
had
developed and what I stuffed into these shorts was coming out of the bottoms and stretching the material to its limits. I don't think the manufacturer of my shorts would have approved, but my young charges certainly did. I was feeling positively super-charged at the moment from all the gasps and nervous sexual tension in the dining room and I just knew instinctively that it was my time to 'strike while the dick was stiff'.
"Febe, when do we start inspecting you for -um,
