~~~ Week 23 - Monday ~~~
We dropped Lena off and met Alissa at the nursery to get things loaded into the trucks for the Douglas job. We got everything queued up and then Emily went to get Mr. Douglas while April snapped pictures and then followed them around to take more. Alissa and I shadowed them as well and listened in on the conversation.
We shook his hand and he turned to head for the house when a gray sedan pulled up. Mrs. Cunningham was sitting behind the wheel. She parked and got out. As she greeted our latest client - who asked if the plate of cookies was for him - a distinguished-looking gentleman climbed out of the passenger seat.
Mr. Douglas immediately greeted the new arrival, nearly bowing as he smiled and shook the man's hand. They finished chatting and then Mrs. Cunningham brought the man our direction.
"Good morning, you gorgeous bunch," Mrs. Cunningham crowed. "I brought you some cookies!"
April darted forward and traded a hug for the cellophane-wrapped plate.
"This gentleman, here, just got off of the phone with Maggie. He's a little disappointed that it will be so many weeks before you get to his project but I wanted to bring him by and introduce him to you. This is my son's father-in-law, Mayor Virgil White."
"Mayor, this is Emily who is as smart as she is beautiful - and April who made that picture book that you fell in love with. This is Ms. Alissa who works harder than anyone - and, finally, Sam - who is the prettiest of the bunch..."
The mayor laughed when I blushed.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, sir," I said, shaking his hand.
"Of course I had been to Delores' house before but - quite honestly - I couldn't believe the transformation until I saw it in the photo-book. Marvelous!"
He released my hand and turned to Emily.
"I understand that you do most of the design work and I'm very much looking forward to seeing what you come up with for my place."
"Maggie and Ron help too," Emily told him.
He turned to April.
"I do hope - when it's my turn - that you'll make me a before-and-after book as well," he told her.
"I would be delighted, mayor," she replied.
"I'll warn you, however," he said, giving Alissa a smile, "that I'm nowhere near the baker that Delores is."
"Oh...," Mrs. Cunningham said. "Ignore him. He's already called the city's premiere bakery to see if they can whip up a bribe that will entice all of you to move him up on the schedule..."
The man looked around like he was making sure he wouldn't be heard and then whispered, "They make these cream horn pastries that are absolutely heavenly..."
Mr. Douglas' garage door started opening and Mrs. Cunningham gave us each a quick hug.
"We best be going, Virgil, before Kirkland sees us keeping these lovely youngsters from getting his project completed..."
The mayor gave us a wave and a smile and said, "A pleasure to meet you all."
We waved back - and then (as they climbed into the car) descended on April to get a melt-in-your-mouth snickerdoodle.
"Fuck...," Alissa mumbled as we devoured our snack on the way to our task.
"Remind me to ask Emily if we got those recipes from her...," I told her.
I grabbed a quick swig from my water bottle - to wash down my cookie - and then got to work.
We stopped for our usual midday break and April lamented that she'd already forgotten to take any action photos. She remedied that as soon as we got back to work again.
By the end of the day, things were starting to shape up. It was a big job - four days - so we had time - but then we also had a lot to do.
As we climbed into the trucks, I asked Emily for her estimate on how we were doing, like I always did. She said she wasn't sure - but thought we were okay.

Maggie was waiting on the bed when the three of us got out of the shower. She chatted with me as I got dressed.
"I'm not super sure what you're getting into tonight," she said. "The mom on your list claims that she's now a lesbian. However, she's agreed to take you on - but wants you to fuck her lover. I guess the other woman has never had a man or something. I didn't really want to press. Obviously, neither of them is on the pill - but they've promised me that you're safe to go raw."
"I was thinking about that the other day," I admitted. "How many kids do you think I have out there?"
"I've been trying to follow up - quietly," she said. "I think we're good. There's one that's a maybe but that one started taking more lovers after you and there's just as good of a chance that it's one of theirs."
"I just... started thinking about it...," I told her.
She gave me a hug and said, "I know... I love you, Sam. That right there is just one of the reasons that so many of your 'one-night-stands' have called me back to see about a repeat visit."
Maggie headed out and I sat down for a quick TV dinner with April and Emily before heading out for my evening session.
I traded vehicles and pulled up in front of the address. It was another cookie cutter house in another cookie cutter neighborhood. Obviously, the mom was no longer with the father of my former classmate, Isabella.
~~~ Week 23 - Becka Brown (#049) ~~~
~~~ Classmate: Isabella ~~~ S/O: Matthew
(divorced)

Bella was a "full-figured" girl. I was curious to see how much her mother looked like her - and what the new lesbian girlfriend looked like. I was also a little curious about how Isabella felt about her mother "changing teams".
I knocked on the door and waited. The woman who opened the door looked enough like Bella for me to be certain that they were related. From looking at her, it was pretty obvious that she'd been a little heavier but was dieting pretty hard to get (and keep) the pounds off.
"My lover has never been with a man," she explained as she closed the door. "Maggie assured me that you can handle that."
I nodded and said, "Yeah, no problem."
"I've sworn off men but I want this for her - so she can compare - she's younger. She knows, of course, what I'm offering but I want her to have - you know - the whole picture."
"Sounds good."
"I think you should start with me - just to let her get used to you - and see you in action - and then we'll let her get comfortable enough to switch."
I nodded and gave her a smile.
She smiled back and then took my hand, leading me down the hall to the master bedroom.
When we stepped inside, it was only the fact that she was holding my hand that kept me from running away. Lying on the bed, naked, nervously trying to figure out how to cover herself, was my former classmate, Isabella.
I glanced from daughter to mother and back again, trying to figure out what I should do.
Bella and her mother were, obviously, lovers. She wasn't looking nervous because she was naked in front of her mom. She was nervous because she was naked in front of a strange male.
My brain warred with itself. Bella looked so nervous that I felt bad for her. Her mother had agreed to fuck me in order to get my cock inside of her little girl - the same little girl that she was having incestuous relations with.
I swallowed the lump in my throat, released Becka Brown's hand, lifted my reflective sunglasses up, and propped them on top of my head.
"Hey, Bella," I said.
"Sam?!"
"You two know each other?" her mother asked. "Maggie said your name was Augie."
"You look good, Bell," I told her.
She blushed and fidgeted a little more.
"Th.. Thanks," she said quietly.
"You're not starving yourself are you? Are you taking vitamins?"
"Yeah..."
"I'm not saying you were ugly or anything before, Bell, but you look great."
"Thanks, Sam," she said.
"So... confession time," I told her. "Obviously, I've stumbled onto something here that you may not want everybody to know about and I'm willing to trade secrets."
"Okay?"
"I'll keep your secret if you promise to keep mine..."
"How bad could your secret be, Sam?"
"I'm working on fucking every single one of our classmates' moms," I told her matter-of-factly.
Her eyes widened and then they shot to her mother's face and then back to mine.
"No shit?!"
"No shit."
She started laughing. I waited for her to finish.
