Chapter 16

Monday, October 25, 1976

Beth and I both showed up in Thelma's office at the same time on Monday morning. I was scheduled for two tests and Beth was scheduled for one. Thelma turned on the testing in progress light and asked us both to come into the testing room.

As soon as the door closed behind us, Thelma turned to Beth and kissed her soundly. When they broke apart Thelma turned to me and gave me one of her knee weakening kisses.

We decided that since I had two tests to take and Beth had only one, I would take my government test first. I would then take a break until after lunch, while Beth took her test. I would then take my second test, Physics, in the afternoon.

After Beth had gone I started the government test. What a waste! I finished the two hour test in just over an hour. I stuck my head out and told Thelma I was finished.

She came in the door a couple of minutes later and picked up all of the test papers. She put them in a folder and laid it on the end of the table. As she turned back around, I took her in my arms and kissed her. <Thank you my lovely proctor, > I told her. <Are you having any second thoughts about moving in with us?>

<The only second thoughts I've had is to wonder why I was foolish enough not to stay with you last night as well.>

We kissed and snuggled against each other for a few minutes. I was running my hands up and down her back and caressing her butt. <Do you have any idea how strange this is?> she asked. <I'm standing here letting you rub my ass. To anyone observing us, you are a sixteen year old boy. If anyone saw us, I'd not only be out of a job, I'd also end up in jail. When I got out, I'd have to register as a sex offender.>

<Thelma, it is legal for me to have sex at my age.>

<Yes, but it isn't legal for a teacher to have sex with a student.>

<If you're worried about it, we can postpone any sexual contact until I'm out of school, > I offered.

<Not on your life, > she smiled and kissed me. <If that damned door would lock I'd take you right here, right now, on this table. I was just saying how strange my behavior would look to someone else.>

I kissed her on the tip of her nose. <You are absolutely right love. Once this semester is over, things will be a lot better for all of us. Have you thought at all what you want to do? Are you going to continue working or are you going to devote your time to the business?>

<I really don't know yet Mike. I didn't talk about any plans with you or Bonnie yesterday.>

<Do you have a teaching certificate?>

<Yes, believe it or not, I'm a math teacher.>

<Once this semester is over, we'd like to sign Beth, Sharon, and Missy up for home schooling. With you as a member of the family, it should be a lot easier to get approved.>

We kissed again, then I said, <Bonnie and I have talked about buying a travel trailer and touring the country for a while. Maybe months. Does that sound like something you'd be interested in doing?>

<Most definitely. That's something I tried to talk my ex-husband into doing. I wanted to buy a trailer and spend the summers roaming the country. I've always wanted to explore, maybe even up into Canada and Alaska.>

<Then plan on it. Would it bother you to give up teaching?>

<I'm not teaching now, Mike. I wasn't even doing a good job at what I am doing until you came along. I sometimes go days at a time when I don't see a single student come into my office. In all honesty it is frustrating and boring.>

<You think it was boring before. Just wait until you see how it is now. I don't think we talked about the IQ change yesterday, did we?>

<No. Is that what happened to you and Beth?>

<And to Bonnie and Sharon and Missy as well. It has something to do with the increased blood flow. You're also going to notice that within a few days you're going to be reading at a rate of over four thousand words a minute with perfect comprehension. You will also be able to remember everything you've read or heard or seen.>

<Oh my God. Mike, if we live for a long time, a perfect memory could be a curse. Some things you don't want to remember forever, such as pain or embarrassment. Can we dump those memories?>

<I honestly don't know Thelma. I haven't thought about it. Damn, I already have fifty eight years of George's memories plus sixteen years of Mike's memories in my brain. Am I going to overflow?>

<It's something we need to think about and talk about. We also need to think about a way to catalog and cross reference data. I don't know how important that is, but it would seem like we might lose where a memory is stored if we don't.>

<Let's postpone this discussion until all of us are together. You have brought up some very interesting questions and I think we need to work on them and about a thousand others these are going to uncover. There may be some disadvantages to this too.>

Before Thelma could answer we heard, <I wouldn't think of knocking, but are my brother/husband and sister/wife playing kissy face in there?>

<No dear sister. Come on in. We were just talking about memory.>

Beth came in and looked at us then said. "Did you know that your lunch starts in five minutes?"

"Hell no. Thelma opened up some things we all need to talk about. Time seems to slip away when you're in an interesting conversation."

"Or when you're kissing," Beth giggled.

I slapped her on the ass as I took off for lunch.

I met Sharon and Missy for lunch. After exchanging kisses we went through the line and loaded up our trays. Our table was open, so I slipped in with my back to the wall. To my surprise, Missy slipped in beside me and Sharon sat across from us. I raised my eyebrow at Sharon quizzically.

Sharon giggled then said, "We just wanted to give everyone something to talk about. Before we get up, I want you to kiss Missy for as long as you did me when everyone started to applaud."

"Oh, you evil girl," I said to Sharon. "What do you think about that, Missy?"

"I'm the one who suggested it," Missy smiled.

"Oh my. Two evil girls. What's Alice going to think about that?"

"She's going to think I'm a slut," Missy giggled.

"Is that what you want her to think?"

"Yes. Besides thinking I'm a slut, she'll also be jealous. That's what I really want."

"Okay, but let's eat first. I have to take another test today and I'm going to need the energy."

Sharon laughed. "Are you sure you're not going to need the energy to boff the proctor after you finish your test?"

"No, my dear. I thought about it, but you can't lock the door to the testing room."

Both girls cracked up. Finally Missy said, "It's not fair if you do Thelma before you do me, you know. I was in the family first."

"You know you are absolutely right," I said thoughtfully. "Are you ready for that step, Missy?"

"Michael, I've been leaving a wet spot on every piece of furniture I've set on for the last two days. I'm as horny as a billy goat. When you kiss me I'll probably cum without you even touching me any place else. Yes, I think I'm ready."

"Okay, tonight's the night then. Since you're a virgin, would you like to go off to a room by ourselves, or would you rather be with everyone else?"

"With everyone else please. Sharon has already promised to suck on one of my nipples while I ride you. I'm hoping someone else will take the hint and suck on the other one."

"Oh my. Don't tell Alice that. She WILL think you're a slut."

"That's what I want to be tonight. Your slut."

"Lean over here and let's give these people a show, Sweetheart."

By the time the applause started, I was unaware of anything but Missy's lips and Missy's tongue. Finally Sharon kicked me under the table and the sharp pain in my shin caused me to pull away.

"Wow!" I said.

"Wow!" Missy said.

"Wow!" Sharon said. "Let's get out of here before we're busted."

We did.

I talked with Thelma in her office while we were waiting for Beth to finish her test. "Thelma, how long does your contract with the school run?"

"It goes through the end of the school year. Why?"

"I guess talking about traveling got me all excited. Is there any way you could get out of it sooner?"

"I'd have to think about that. What did you have in mind?"

"Well, I was thinking. If we could get the girls approved for home schooling by the end of the semester, we could buy a big trailer and hit the road south for the rest of the winter. I know New Mexico and Arizona are both nice during the winter months. The southern part of Texas is also nice during that time of year."

"That would be great. I have a niece in Florida who tells me about eighty degree Christmases. I've always been envious of her. Let me think about it. I have a friend who got RIFed from a large school she was a counselor in. She's looking for this kind of job. Maybe they'd let her work out my contract."
