Her name was Daphne but everyone called her Daffy. Apparently she was a very distracted lady and said and did some nonsensical things. They still kidded her about when she took the drivers license examiner to the mall and got out of the car leaving him there. Or the time she went to take her finals at college in her pajamas. She did not mind the nickname and in fact whenever she was thinking of doing something wild, (wild for her), the would say, "I think I'm going to turn right at Albuquerque."
In conversation she would make the oddest connections to the subject at hand but all agreed she had a brilliant mind. All seemed to love and protect her.
She was a smallish, brown haired, beautiful woman that wore glasses. Her smile would often pop out for no reason at all. We had never been on a real date and she had seldom been out with guys at all. Most guys gave her a wide berth because they could not keep up with her mind.
I was a friend of her sister Beth; we worked together at a large biotech lab. Daphne worked at a small lab that did strange things with data from space probes. A private firm employed Beth and me. Daphne worked for NASA. She was the only person with a doctor's degree in Exobiology anyone knew. All of us worked across the boulevard of a NASA campus.
Beth and I were friends but we had never considered each other as a potential partner. For one she was two years older than me. For another she seemed to prefer girls.
We were often together on nerd group dates and I had met Daphne during those events. Our conversations were strange but lasted a lot longer than her conversations with others. On most of those group dates Daphne and I ended up spending most of our time together. I had never called her Daffy.
I really liked Daphne but thought we had never connected as anything other than friends. I was unaware of the fact that the others viewed us as a couple.
Beth invited me to her twenty-seventh birthday party and I soon learned their parents were as smart as their children and just as distracted. They had forgotten it was their oldest daughters birthday and had not prepared a party for her. Several people reminded them they had heard them promise.
As everyone laughed and kissed I went to get birthday supplies. Daphne decided to come along with me. I liked being with her.
We returned with a cake, ice cream, and bubble blowing party favors. Daphne could not remember if she had a birthday present for her sister so bought her one. As it turned out she had already bought her two.
She gave me one to give Beth but I showed Daphne I already had a gift for her sister. As it turned out her mother didn't have one so Daphne gave her one of her extras. The other two presents were identical so Daphne gave her sister one and she kept one for herself.
I kidded Daphne about her sneaky way to give herself presents and asked her how often she did that,
"Never, but maybe seven times."
It took her a beat to realize what she had just said and giggled.
The cake and ice cream were very well received but the big hit were the bubble blowers. Daphne soon had us trying to get our bubbles to merge into models of molecules. It did not cross anyone's mind that the game was a very loud admission to our nerdness.
She, her mother, and me were the last three playing that and we had not noticed everyone else had left the house, including her father who was late for his foursome at the country club.
I helped clean up and listened as mother and daughter engaged in a conversation that would not have made any sense to anyone. Daphne's mother had been my biology professor in college but she had not recognized me that day. I was a reserved person that never asked questions so I had not given her a reason to remember me, except for having the highest grade in class.
It took me a while to get their conversation points of reference because sometimes several images and thoughts were skipped over before the response was made out loud.
In their head a reference to their priest went from him to Elmer Gantry to Elmer Fudd and the comment was, "Yes I know it I can't help it"
I burst into laughter at that then made an allusion about Marilyn Monroe. Both laughed and continued but soon her mother was staring at me with a stunned expression. I looked at my crotch and she gave me a small giggle then looked at her daughter and left us together.
"OK. What happened?"
"Mom seems to think you are perfect for me."
"I do not own a spaceship."
"That would ordinarily mean strike three but not today."
"And I don't like eggs of any color."
"Water under the bridge. Kiss me."
I hesitated for a moment then gave her a soft peck on the lips.
"No."
I kissed her again, this time a soft semi-long kiss.
"More."
I took her to the sofa and gave her a long, soft, lip-licking kiss. She took my face in her hands and began planting soft kisses all over it. I put my arms around her and gave her a borderline passionate kiss.
"Why had you never made a pass at me?"
"You didn't know I existed."
"Yes I did, I was waiting for you to make a pass at me."
"You had shot down everyone that had."
"Because I was waiting for you to make a pass at me."
"OK. So, did I just make a pass at you?"
"Yes, your hand is on my tit."
"Oh, sorry," I said as I removed my hand. She put it back on her tit and kissed me. I pinched her nipple.
"How experienced are you?"
"Some. Three girls gave me full privileges once, one other gave me lessons. And you?"
"I am a virgin, your hand has been on my tit longer than any other hand ever. Did you love any of those three?"
"No, the episodes were as thanks for helping them through a class. The one that gave me lessons was the mother of my first one. Apparently the daughter told her mother I didn't know what I was doing. The second and third girl thanked me and praised my love making skills. I lost my teacher when she remarried."
How many times did you fuck her?"
"Seven."
I kissed her again and as I held the kiss her hand sought my groin.
"It's hard. Do you want me?"
"Yes, but not now. I need to step back and decide if I want it to mean more than a fuck. I assume you are thinking about losing your virginity to me."
