Session 5
*****************************************
Sister's POV:
I grew up listening to my parent's have sex. The walls weren't thin by any means, but I'd cut out a section of sheet rock, and pulled out all the interior insulation. I found out later that the insulation was special soundproofing stuff that they'd installed knowing that my room would be right next to theirs.
I hung a poster over the hole, a painting of some hunk raising a sword over his scantily clad wench.
For as long as I could recall, Mother would be moaning at least eight times a week, typically more. But Father's were the ones I really listened for. Hell, even now with me being in college, I can't even think of a single dweeb here who had half of the libido of my father.
It...it gave me strange inklings.
Though, oddly enough, I never masturbated to it or anything. I just listened.
In a weird way, I didn't want my imagination version of him touching me down there.
Until not too long ago, I was following in Father's footsteps and going for my Masters in Business. Mother's penchant for psychology, well, frankly I had always resented her for it. Seemed so shady, so manipulative, especially with her witchy personality.
But even she couldn't keep me from spending time at home every chance I got. Here I was, a grown-up finishing undergrad and still basically living in my bedroom when I wasn't at the dorm--which was anytime I didn't have class the next day.
At least, I was until this past summer.
See, I couldn't hear them moaning any more. Father might have taken Mother once a week at best.
It...it was frustrating.
Throughout the years, I'd found a unique coping mechanism for all that frustration, and no, it wasn't sexual. I was a runner. I lived for the runner's high.
Though, what really motivated me to keep going was, one day, when I was in my spandex leaving for the morning, I caught father staring at my ass. And damn right he should! It was a fine ass.
Wish I could say the same for my boobs, but alas, the paradox of a runner: fine ass, mosquito bump tits.
I did marathons, biathlons, triathlons, decathlons, even the whore of Babylon--okay, maybe not that last one, but damned if I didn't vent.
And then, I quit hearing them altogether. Father had quit taking Mother.
I don't know how many months he went without sex. Maybe 3? 4, even?
My heart ached for him. If only Mother wasn't such a witch.
This all culminated in a private party me and the girls were having. It was Becky's birthday or some shit, and everyone was going to bring their boyfriends. I asked Father on the date.
Nobody knew him. I never talked about him. Didn't have any photos of him in my apartment. I didn't even have social media to creep on. Father was my secret. And to advertise him would be to share him. I couldn't have that, now could I?
He showed up that night in a gray button down that was opened loose at the collar. Tuffs of chest hair poked out. The look was my suggestion. He wore tailored slacks (a birthday gift from me), and...black penny loafers--those were from Mother.
But, from the feet up, he was mine.
"Hi, Sweet," he greeted me.
"Hi, Daddy!" I bounced up to him, wrapped my arms around his neck--which was quite easy to do since I'd inherited Mother's height and had several inches on him, several more in my heels--and I planted a kiss on his cheek, one just a little too close to his mouth.
He was used to those affections and patted me on the back. Then he pushed me away, holding me by the arms, clinging to me there in the street, and looked me up and down. "You are gorgeous, Maggie."
I bit my tongue and cheekily rolled my eyes. "I know."
He shot me his special wink, the one reserved just for me and asked, "what's the plan for tonight?"
Ah.
I tried to appear sheepish, but damned if it was hard to do wearing a crystal blue cocktail dress. "Um...okay, so don't be mad. Promise?"
Father was taken aback. "Promise," he replied.
"So, my friend Jemma was having a birthday dinner. And, like, she was bringing her fiancé James, and Tasha was bringing Cindi, and Monique--oh my God, she's so pretty--was bringing Raul."
