Chapter 21

They all joined Daisy at the feast of French toast, hash browns, eggs, bacon and Champagne orange juice (which Sharon introduced them to). Afterwards they all showered in turns of pairs.

Sharon soaped Daisy's body and rubbed hers all around it. They didn't have time for much as the hot water would run out. It was enough to get them both wanting more.

Sharon kissed her deeply and then told her what a wonderful time she had had.

"You're a very lucky girl to have those two roommates. And the three you have back home as well!"

"I know that. I keep expecting it all to be a dream!" Daisy said.

"How would you feel about me joining your clan?" Sharon asked.

"Huh?"

"You've got quite a little following going. Everyone of them simply adores you. I do too! I want to be part of your life."

"You are part of my life. I love you!" said Daisy.

"I love you too ... But I want to be with you always too!"

"Uh ... I'd love that. I guess I always figured you would be, with me and Phil probably getting married."

"Have you thought about something bigger?"

"Bigger how?"

"I mean, have you thought about all of you getting a farm and working it. Marrying all of them ... and me."

"Uh ... I'd love to. But can you do that?"

"Times are changing Daisy. Marriage between two women, or two men for that matter is becoming acceptable. The government doesn't dare try to prosecute for fear that the dam will break and plural marriages will take off. A good lawyer could explain it all to you. Yes. You can do that.

You're a wonderful woman, Daisy. You have a wonderful gift of instilling love in everybody you touch.

Think about how many couples don't have even a working relationship. You are keeping six people so happy they can hardly stand to be without you. You could be a great matriarch of a new clan. I have no doubt that every one of us would go for it in a shot!"

"Uh ... Lilly would have to be the Matriarch. She's the one who introduced me to the joys of women."

"Daisy, you introduced all of us to the joys of life! You're the one that everybody wants the most. You're the one who gives the most to everybody else. I talked about this to Bobby, Phil and Lilly when I visited them not long ago. We all had a wonderful time. We all realized that you were the reason that we all got together! We all love you!"

Daisy had tears in her eyes and a lump the size of Chicago was in her throat. She thought about how much she loved each and every one of them.

"But you and Phil were together long before we got together. And Phil and Bobby were friends even before that." she croaked.

"Yes, couples. Unhappy couples and unconnected groups. You were the one that brought us all together and made us all happy. You met Lilly, Amy and Brian. You made each and every one of us love you. Amy and Brian told me this morning how much in love with you they are. Both of them.

I love you more than air! I don't want to loose all this happiness that everybody is feeling -because of you. You can keep it all together, even make it grow. You remember how you and Lilly made me promise to teach others? Well we can all teach as many as we want. This thing could grow huge! If others who feel this way learn about us they will want to join us. Just to have a place where they are understood!"

Daisy was confused and sobbing openly. She did love each and everyone of them. She knew that in some way they all loved her. She had a warm happy feeling about each of them, but she had never considered them as a whole. Now the total amount of love overwhelmed her. As close as she had come to this thought, was the thought that she would marry Phil and Lilly would marry Bobby and they would share with each other. Now she saw the logic in what Sharon was talking about. She wanted to include Sharon and Amy and Brian ... maybe even Sandy, Laura and even Ling Sue in her life ... permanently!
