I and my brother grew up in Maryland. He stayed there, got married, and raised a family of three kids. I moved to New York City, got a good job working at a major publishing company, and never married.
My brother's oldest daughter Jenni had recently graduated from high school and now was a journalism major at a college in upper New York state. "Jennifer" was her real name, but she liked to be called Jenni. I remembered Jenni with great fondness. Even as a young teen, she was quite good looking, with a figure that matured early. In a bikini on the diving board of their backyard pool, she was quite something to look at even then.
So I didn't really think of it as much of a burden when my brother Walt asked me if I would mind visiting Jenni at her college some weekend and see how she was getting along.
"It's the first time she's ever been away from home," Walt said, "And I would like to know everything looks all right there. "
"No problem," I said, "I'll give her a call, and we'll set up a weekend. "
"Thanks a lot. "
So I did call her, and we set up a weekend for me to visit. I asked her to get the name of a nice motel where I could make a reservation for myself over the phone, and I told her I would take her out to dinner and some entertainmentโif there was any entertainment there.
"Great!" she said. "I'll be looking forward to it. "
I arrived there on the bus around noon. When I got off, she was there waiting for me. She was clad in jeans and a gray sweatshirt with the name of the college on it.
"Uncle Dan!" she cried. "It's so great to see you!" She ran over and embraced me warmly, and I did the same for her.
"I understand that the Marriott is right in the center of town," I said.
"Yeah, it's a great location. You couldn't have picked better. "
"Well, I'd like to go there first to check in and rest up. Then why don't you come around about six, and I'll take you out to dinner. "
"Great!" "Since you know the town better than I do, you can tell me where you would like to have dinner and what you would like to do afterward," I suggested.
"The Coach House is the nicest restaurant in town. I'll walk you to the Marriott. "
"Okay. "
Jenni called me from the lobby of the Marriott at 6. I had changed clothes and so had she. She had on an unusual and kind of sexy outfit of a denim sleeveless vest zippered up the front and a fairly short denim skirt zippered down the front, apparently no stockings and matching low-heeled denim shoes. It made a delectable picture with her five-foot-six frame and shoulder-length blond hair.
"You look lovely," I said.
"Thank you. So do you. "
I laughed.
The Coach House restaurant was only two blocks away, so we walked there. As promised, it was a very nice place. She had the broiled lobster tail, and I had the Chicken Marsala, and we split a bottle of French chardonnay. By the time we had finished, she seemed to be quite jolly from the wine.
"So what do you do for entertainment around here?" I asked.
"Well, there's one movie theater, but it's showing 'Big Fish', and I already saw that. " She smiled. "Actually, probably the best entertainment is at the Alpha Omega fraternity house. "
"What's that?"
"Well, the house mother always has Saturday and Sunday off, so they put on a "Classic Movie Night" Saturday at eight in the downstairs recreation room, and anyone is invited free, as long as they come as a couple. I've never been since I'm not dating anyone yet, but I've heard about it. "
"What do you mean?"
"The 'classic' movie they show is actually a porn classic, like 'Debbie Does Dallas' or something like that, and couples are invited to join in the fun. I understand that anything goes. It's like a Roman Orgy. . . I hear. "
"You've never been?"
"No, but I would like to see what it's likeโjust out of curiosity. "
"And you inviting me to this scandalous affair?"
"Would you? It might be fun. And you don't have to stay if you don't want to. "
"Why not? As you said: There's nothing else to do. "
"Good. "
We had a couple of after-dinner cordials, then headed over to the Alpha Omega house around 8:30.
The Classic Movie Night was already in full swing when we arrived and stumbled around in the semi-darkness of the recreation room to find a seat. Finally, we found an unoccupied couch and sat down. I looked at the movie on the screen at the end of the room. Several naked bodies were doing several naked things, but I did not recognize the "classic. "
