I had always loved music, and while I had learned how from lessons to play the piano, I was not a good enough musician to earn my living by playing. Someone famous once said, "Those who can, do. Those who can't, teach." And so I decided to become a teacher of music. After earning my teaching certificate at the state college, I accepted a job teaching music at a high school in the area.
But I learned that it's hard to make a living just as a teacher, so I also offered my services after school hours as a piano teacher. Luckily, there was a wealthy area of our town, and many of the noveau-riche families there felt it was important for their children to take piano lessons. Thus, I had no lack of customers.
But I found that ninety percent of the young people I taught HATED the piano and HATED piano lessons. So even at $25 an hour, I was really earning my money.
One of the young people who hated piano lessons was Kathy Dalton, a pretty brunette senior at the local high school. She was about five foot six and looked a lot like the younger movie and TV actress Katie Holmes. Kathy was captain of the cheerleading squad, and she had an older brother, Justin, who worked at the local supermarket, and a much young sister, Katie.
"I hate this!" Kathy said when I arrived for her first lesson. "I would rather be doing ANYTHING than this."
"Such as?" I asked.
"Well, since both of my parents work, and my brother works from ten to five, there's usually no one here in the afternoon but me. So if I did not have to take music lessons, I probably would be fucking my boyfriend up in my bedroom."
Since I was 35, and she had just turned eighteen, it was obvious that she was trying to shock me. "Really? And how long have you been...having sex with your boyfriend?"
"For a year. I love sex, but don't worry: We practice safe sex. My mother put me on the pill after she found out we were doing it."
"Well, instead of having sex, I guess you're going to have to learn how to play the piano—since that's what I'm being paid to teach you."
"I hate it."
"Never the less..."
And that's how the first lesson went.
The second lesson was a little different. When I arrived at her house at 3 p.m. I found that she was still wearing her cheerleader uniform. The school colors were garnet-and-gray, so her sweater was gray with a garnet "M", and her wool skirt was pleated in garnet-and-gray colors. She looked really cute.
"I just got home and haven't had time to change yet," she said. "C'mon upstairs. You can talk to me about the piano there."
I didn't know how that was going to work, since the piano was downstairs, but I followed her up and into her room. It was a typical girl's room: very flouncy with a single bed covered with stuffed animals and posters of her rock heroes on the wall.
"You can sit on the bed," she said, and I did. She went over to the closet and opened the sliding door. Then she pulled her gray sweater over her head and dropped it on the floor. Then she unzipped her skirt, let that slide to the floor, and pushed off her shoes. Now she was clad only in a white bra, white panties, and white socks. She unfastened the bra and let it drop, then she pushed her panties down until they fell to her ankles. Finally, she turned around with a smile and put her hands on top of her head.
"How this?" she asked. She was absolutely gorgeous, with small but perfect breasts, pointy maroon nipples, and a small tuft of brunette maidenhair hair above her peach-like lips.
I could hardly speak. "You are absolutely beautiful," I said.
"Isn't this better than piano lessons?"
"I know I should say no, but I have to say yes."
She put her hands down at her sides. "So here's the deal. I told you I like sex, and I'm on the pill. If you would rather fuck than teach me how to play the piano, I would rather do that too."
I could not believe it. In all of my life, I had never met with an offer such as this.
"Well?" she asked.
"I would rather fuck," I muttered.
"Then get your clothes off."
I did as she suggested and in a short time was standing there naked. My penis was already at half mast.
"Lie on the bed," she said, "I like to be on top."
