**TUESDAY 1 to 8 P.M.*
The trio moved through the halls onto the campus. "I think we'll all easily fit in my Taurus," Carter suggested, "I can run you girls back to campus later, as you like." He looked at Peri on his left, giving her a wink.
She piped up, "That's good for me, Dr. Carter, saves gas!" Laughing, she looked past Carter to Trish and asked, "Do you wanna come with us, or drive yourself?"
"I'll ride with you guys," Trish said quickly, "LA traffic gets me, like, all nervous!" she confessed.
The Ford's dash clock indicated 1:12 p.m. when the garage door opened and Carter parked. "OK," he said, "Here we are." He got out and led the way into the kitchen. "Are you hungry at all? I'm thinking a sandwich and chips, poolside, would be great... any takers?" he asked.
"Well, I can eat most any time," Trish admitted, looking at her stomach with chagrin, "But, yes, I am ready for lunch."
"Me, too, Dr. Carter," Peri chimed in, "I haven't eaten a thing since... Gosh! Early this morning!" Her hazel eyes flashed a look at Carter and she pushed her curled tongue out between her puckered, pouty, lips. Its tip looked like a miniature pussy as it darted out and retreated.
"Ah, alright, then," Carter said, sweeping his left arm expansively in the air, "There are my cupboards. I know I have peanut butter, jelly, tuna, cheese, mayo, bread and chips...why don't you cobble together sandwiches while I hunt suits and towels?"
"Okie dokie!" Peri agreed, secretly blowing him a kiss. Turning to face her new friend, she said, "C'mon, Trish, let's see what's where!"
Carter left them rummaging, walked down the hall and reappeared twenty minutes later in a Grateful Dead T-shirt, boxers and flip-flops, laden with a huge stack of colorful beach towels and three thick, white, terrycloth bathrobes. He set the armload down on the kitchen nook table and looked through the bay window.
Peri was outside, putting a platter of sandwiches on the big, glass-top, round table, beside a bowl of corn chips and a pitcher of iced-tea. He watched her ass, snug beneath her dress, as she bent under the green-and-gray striped umbrella and placed the food. She turned her face toward him, caught him staring and smiled. Lazily, she cupped her right buttock and lifted it slightly, then, straightening up, she walked into the house. "Hey, Trish," Carter called into the kitchen, where she was putting things away, "Could you come over her for a moment, please?"
The teenagers assembled around the towels. Carter said, "I have good news and bad news." He laughed artificially at his deliberate use of the tired cliche. Peri and Trish waited, wondering about the punchline. "The good news is: I found a couple of old swim suits. The bad news is: I doubt they will fit either of you very well." He quickly added, to stop any protest, "although... you are more than welcome to try them on."
"But..." Trish started "I don't..."
"..Me neither!" Peri jumped in, supporting Trish's incomplete protest, "Why don't we just sit, eat, and enjoy the patio?"
"We'll do that, for sure," Carter said, "But listen, there are other options." Both girls looked at him; Trish with suspicion and Peri with amusement. "Peri," Carter said, "I laid the suits on my bed. It's down the hall, on the left. Could you get them, please? It is only fair that you see, and judge, them yourselves."
"OK, Dr. Carter," she chuckled. Walking behind Trish, she paused, put her left hand on the her friend's left shoulder, leaned close to her right ear and said, quietly, "Have a seat, I'll be right back!" and headed for the master suite which she knew so well.
As soon as Peri stepped away, Carter looked across at Trish and said "SIGMA," instantly unlocking and opening her secret box with his key. "SIGMA," he repeated quickly, watching her head loll onto her breasts, billowed under her Nirvana T-shirt. Establishing communication in her programmable state, Carter said, "Trish, you are at my house. Your new friend and tutor, Peri, is here, too. We're going to have a pool-party and a lot of fun. Peri does not have a key to your box, but, she is a fun, playful, person. Follow her lead. Listen for my voice. Enjoy each moment with no barriers. Do you understand?" He asked, reinforcing her basic instruction set.
"Yes," Trish replied stonily.
"Perfect. SIGMA," Carter repeated, toggling her back into performance mode, just as Peri walked up.
