Chapter 3

Howie was up at dawn. He ran and worked out. Then he drew in his garage studio for an hour.

At ten he was at the FIJI house helping the other pledges as they cleaned the house.

"Chief, what have you got that Dorothy sees in you?" a pledge asks.

"A dynamic personality, I guess," he said.

One pledge said, "I hear that Dave is pissed."

Another pledge asked, "What is the Dunger pissed about now?"

Another one said, "Cause he is getting any, not less any that looks like her."

They all laughed.

Howie got wet cleaning the kitchen. He pulled off his shirt.

"Geez Chief, are those bullet wounds?" a pledge asked.

"Sorry fellas, it is not a pleasant sight," Howie said.

One pledge said, "I thought it was all bullshit. I apologize. Would you show us your legs?"

Howie said, "If you promise not to talk about it."

Howie pulled down his pants.

One pledge said, "I never saw anybody with a zipper."

One guy said, "The other one looks like another asshole."

"You were shot four times?" a pledge asked.

Howie said, "Three, one shot went through my left leg and into my right. I don't recommend getting shot. I prefer not to talk about it."

"One other question please," one pledge asked.

Howie looked at him and waited.

"How long did it take to recover?" he asked.

"I may never fully recover," Howie said.

With Chief around they finished faster and did a better job.

When they finished one guy asked, "Chief, we are going to Florida for Spring Break. You want to come?"

"I hadn't thought about it. I would like to go, but I may not be able to. When do you have to know?" Howie asked.

"Mouse's parents have a place on the beach in Ft. Lauderdale. We are putting together some cars to go down," a pledge said.

"Sounds like fun," Howie said.

"Chief, you going to the party at Sig Chi?"

"I don't think I will make it tonight," Howie said. I am not exactly a part of the group but I am close. Dad was right; it is nice to have buddies.

Howie jogged home.

His mom asked, "What happened to you?"

"The pledges cleaned up after the party. I got sprayed."

"Do you like the fraternity? I was afraid it would be too juvenile?" she asked.

"It is in some ways, but it is nice to have a group that you depend on. I started late and am just now being accepted. They asked me to go to Florida with them on spring break," he said.

"You should go, but watch out, they tend to get into trouble," she said.

"I will think about it," Howie said.

"You had a girl in the studio last night didn't you?" she asked.

"Nice girl. We will probably be in again late this afternoon and tonight. At least I hope we will," he said.

"You play with the kids this afternoon and I will finish what I need to do in the studio this afternoon," she said.

"Thanks mom. I was going to play with them anyway. Do I need to get April for tonight?"

"It's okay. We weren't doing anything anyway."

He played with his kids until it was time to get ready.

At four-thirty Howie parked the truck outside Dorothy's dorm. He wasn't far away from the truck when Dorothy walked out with a small suitcase in her hand.

"Take my suitcase. I signed out for tonight," Dorothy said.

Howie took her suitcase and walked with her.

"I never done that before either. You are a bad influence on me. If you don't kiss me, I going back in," she said.

He pulled her close. They walked arm in arm to the truck.

She breathed in deeply. "I am so nervous."

He started the truck pulled around the corner into a residential area. He kissed her.

"Howie, I mean I have never done THIS before," Dorothy said.

"You aren't committed to anything, but having a good time. We will play it by ear. You are beautiful," Howie said. "What are you nervous about?"

"That you won't like me."

"No chance.

"If you had rather, there is a dance at Sig Chi tonight," he said.

"The other option please," she said.

He kissed her. "There are more than two options. Just tell me and we will try whatever you want."

"I don't want to make out in broad daylight here," she said and laughed.

Howie drove home and they went up to the studio.

The fire was going and she saw the studio in the light the first time.

"It looks nice in the light too," she said. "More roses?"

Howie thought, Those are mom's touch. Six, if I am really lucky.

Howie looked in the refrigerator. There was a bottle of wine. "A glass of wine?"

She nodded.

Howie poured two glasses of wine.

"I thought you didn't drink," she said.

"Only on very special occasions," he said.

"Is this a very special occasion?"

Howie said, "I hope so."

He kissed her very tenderly.

"Me too," she said and returned his kiss.

And it was.

They were cuddled together on the couch bed. She said, "I am glad I waited."

"You are very beautiful, outside and in."

She said, "And you are a lover. I am glad my first time was with you.

"And my second time and my third time; and hopefully my fourth time and more."

And he kissed down to her sex.

She sighed, "And I didn't think I would ever let a man do that to me. It was wonderful."

Late that night she cried as he held her.

"Howie, can I tell you something that you will never tell any other person in the world?" she asked.

"On my honor," he said.

"I am crying because I can't go out with you anymore and I love you," she said.

Howie waited.

"My parents don't have much money. My dad is a high school teacher and he and mom got married right after high school."

She had her head on his left shoulder. Her breasts were on his chest and side. Her sex was pressed against his left leg.

"They really sacrificed for me to go to school. They wanted me to meet somebody from a nice family, hopefully that had money. I promised myself that I wouldn't fall in love with somebody that couldn't help my family," she said.

Howie felt her tears.

"If I go out anymore with you, I won't go out anymore with anyone else. And losing you is going to hurt my heart, but another night with you and it would be shattered.

"Do you understand?" she asked.

"Yes, I do," Howie said.

He kissed her and one thing led to another.

"What am I going to do? You touch me and I don't have control. I never believed that I could lose control until now," she said.

He got up and went to the phone.

"Come here."

He got an erection watching her walk to the phone.

"Call your pledge, I will take her to Sunday dinner," Howie said.

Dorothy called the phone on the floor, "This is Dorothy, could I speak with Brooke Wallingford?"

Howie bent her over and entered her from behind.

"Howie, how am I going to talk --?"

Howie thrust in and out.

"Brooke, Howie Randolph wants to speak to you," she said.

She handed him the phone and moved back against him.

"Brooke, would you be my guest for Sunday dinner at FIJI?" and he thrust in and out of Dorothy.

"Good, I will pick you up at five forty-five," Howie said.

"Bye."

"You are nasty," Dorothy said.

"Don't go anywhere. I am not finished with you," he said.

Howie dialed a number. "Potts, it's Chief. Would you ask Brother Helms to come to the phone?"

"Mike Helms is my big brother.

"Mike, would you like to double tomorrow night to Sunday dinner? I am taking Dorothy Smith's little sister. I thought maybe you could take Dorothy and we could make it a double."

Mike said, "I thought you were going out with Dorothy."

Howie said, "I really like her, but I think she is more interested in a mature man like you. I just finished talking with Brooke, I can get Dorothy if you want?"

He moved in and out of her a couple of times and gave her the phone.

"Hello, Mike."

Mike said, "Dorothy, Howie suggested that we double with him and your little sister. I would be honored if you would?"

"I look forward to it. About fifteen till six?"

"Bye," she said.

"Howie, that wasn't very nice," she said.

He started moving in her. "Feels very damn nice to me."

After they finished, they cuddled back together.

"Mike doesn't date much does he," she said.

"He is a very nice guy, good family, and lots of money. They have a huge farm in Virginia, old money," he said.

"I don't know. This doesn't seem right. You make dates for me while you are doing it to me?" she asked.

"You mean, while we were doing it. Tonight you are mine. Tomorrow, who knows?" he said.

"Howie, I am not going to bed with Mike tomorrow, or any other time," she said.

Howie pulled her head toward his cock. "Howie, what do you think you are doing?"

"It's time you learned," he said.

She looked at him and opened her mouth.

With some suggestions, she was excellent.

Late that night, she said, "Not there Howie."

"Howie, you are hurting me."

"Relax"

"Howie, I didn't like that," she said

Howie said, "You never know."

They washed up in the bathroom, then went back to bed on the couch.

Howie woke up early.

"Howie, I don't think I can. I am really sore there."

But she could and they did.

They cuddled. "It's going to be hard to stay away from you," she said.

"It would be hard to top this. I will always love you," he said.

Dorothy cried, "Don't say that. Please."

He kissed, "It's all right."

"I love you too," she said.

"Let's make love for a last time," he said.

Dorothy hugged him tightly. And they made slow passionate love.

He put the roses in a box while she dressed.

At the dorm she said, "Stay here, please. I love you."

"And I love you."

She ran to the dorm.

Too bad. Dorothy was a keeper. I will have to get her suitcase back to her. If we went on much longer, it would be impossible to walk away. It's going to be hard as hell now.

Howie went home, showered, and played with his children while his parents went to church. He told them a Kiowa story.

When his parents got back from church, they ate together.

"You serious about this girl?" his mother asked.

Howie said, "I would have been, but she is a senior and our timing is not right. Too bad too, she is really nice. I am taking her little sister to Sunday Dinner and she is going with my big brother."

His mother gave him a knowing look.

He shrugged his shoulders.

At six, Howie walked to the house. He went to Mike's room. They walked to the dorm together. Howie opened the box and handed a rose to Mike.

Mike said, "Thanks, I didn't think of that."

When Howie saw four other brothers, he said. "Why don't you wait in the Kappa parlor? I will be in the pledge room.

Mike said, "I will stay with you."

Dorothy and Brooke came down together. They came in the parlor.

Dorothy said, "Mike, how nice of you to bring a flower."

Brooke said, "Thank you. I'm Brooke."

"Howie. Have you been to FIJI before?" he asked.

"No, first time," she said.

"Then it will my honor to introduce you to the chapter," Howie said.

Howie and Brooke followed Dorothy and Mike. When they got to the house, Howie introduced her to the housemother and the sweetheart, then they went to sections where the pledges were.

After dinner, he asked, "We have a dance Saturday, would you like to be my date?"

"I would like that very much." They walked back to the dorm.

He saw Mike. "Brooke and I are going to the dance Saturday."

Mike said, "Dorothy is nice."

"Good, maybe she can go to the dance too."

Monday on the way to class, he left Dorothy's suitcase at the dorm desk.

On the way into the investment class, she said, "He is nice. He called. We are going Saturday."

"You both are very nice. Who knows?" he said.

"I think he will need a lot of your suggestions. The flower was nice. Did you bring two?" she smiled. "Oh, you were a big hit with Brooke. She was a little surprised you didn't have a good nice kiss."

"Tell her, some guys you have to bring along slowly," she said.

She shook her head. He squeezed her hand and they went to their seats. They didn't sit together in class.

Brooke's family had an investment bank in New York. Howie moved the Kiowa money to the investment bank. His broker included him in their IPOs. Howie had three accounts: a trading account, a profits account, and the main account. He moved ten percent of the Kiowa money into the trading account. It was a substantial amount. His first two transactions netted over twenty percent. His never speculated more than his profit account would allow.

Howie stayed home during Spring Break with his children. He gave his parents tickets for a cruise over the break.

Howie and the kids went out Caledonia and worked on their property. They spent one night in the woods.

Howie increased his workout intensity. He felt better.

Becky called. Her break was the week following Howie's. Saturday they went to a party that some of kids from their high school class had. Most of Becky's group had gone to Penn State.

She said. "Howie you were right. I have found someone I like. Of course, it is early, but I am lavaliered."

Dorothy got in early Sunday. She called Howie. "I missed you. Could we get together?"
