I really want to thank kenjisato for his editing skills a, great ideas, and encouragement.
I'd like to say I woke up to a pair of lips on my morning wood, or to the smell of bacon cooking. Truth is, I was awakened by the banging on the front door. I felt a body draped across me, so I knew Kim was still here, and last night had not been a dream.
I carefully slipped out from under Kim's naked body. I didn't want to, but the banging would NOT stop. There would be a pause, but then it would continue. I didn't want to yell at whomever it was because I had decided to let Kim sleep. I was halfway down the stairs, when I realized I was still naked; I went back and got a robe. I looked out the sidelight and saw that it was Cathy and Tina. Tina was beating on the door, while Cathy was leaning back against the porch railing with a smirk on her face.
I opened the door and Tina came rushing in.
"Is it true?" Was all she asked.
"Yes." Was my simple response. I'm pretty sure that would have been the answer to any question she asked, if Cathy had talked to her.
Tina just walked over and flopped down on the couch.
"I did not see this coming. I didn't think you'd get a date from her. She's young enough to be your daughter."
"I am, but that doesn't bother me. And no, I don't have daddy issues. Although, I did call him 'Daddy' last night." Kim blushed a little at that admission, but she continued, "I just like a guy who takes charge, and Thomas took charge when I needed him to."
I didn't turn to look at Kim at the top of the stairs because I really wanted to see Tina's face. Tina's face went pale, not knowing what to say. Cathy just glared at Tina like she was saying 'told ya so!"
"What are you doing here?" Tina asked.
I kinda thought it was obvious, since she was only wearing one of my button-up shirts. I had to laugh at Kim's answer, though.
"I live here, of course!"
That brought gasps and stunned looks from both Tina and Cathy.
"Kim, this is Cathy and that is Tina. Cathy, Tina, this is Kim. Who wants coffee?"
All three murmured something, so I went into the kitchen to start a pot. If I knew Cathy, she would take charge of the situation and get them talking to each other. After the coffee started to brew, I walked back to the living room and Kim and Cathy were leaning toward each other talking softly, while Tina looked like she was listening intently.
"There are coffee cups in the cabinet to the right of the sink. I'm going to take a shower."
I'd known Cathy for a very long time. We'd taught together for sixteen years. She would keep the conversation civil and would fill me in on anything important that went on.
I went upstairs to take a shower. I turned on the water and got undressed. I took a look at myself. I didn't think I was anything special. I worked out a little, walked a lot daily because I was a teacher and I was constantly moving around the classroom. It's not aerobic walking, but I was almost constantly moving. I sported a flat-top hairstyle. Mainly because I had a picture of my Dad when he was in the service and I thought he looked good.
I didn't have six-pack abs, but I didn't quite have a 'dad bod', either. I didn't think I was the type of guy that would attract a woman at my age, much less multiple women. I had planned on trying to date one of my coworkers, mainly because I knew them, and was comfortable with them. I really wasn't expecting to jump into a sexual relationship any time soon. Yet, here I was, having sex before a relationship even started. My life was taking a turn I had never expected. Dreamed about, maybe, but never expected.
When I got out of the shower, I did finally smell bacon. I got downstairs to see all three ladies working in the kitchen. They were talking and laughing and didn't see me coming til I walked over to pour myself a cup of coffee. When they saw me, Cathy came over and took my cup and set it on the table. She then laid a big kiss on me and moved to my right and pulled my arm around her waist. Kim came up and also kissed me, but I felt a little tongue from her, then she moved to my left and pulled my arm around her waist.
Slowly, Tina came up and stood right in front of me.
"I'm truly sorry about bursting in here like I did. I knew you'd never take advantage of a young woman like that, but when Cathy told me you had a date with her yesterday, I lost it. I was waiting for your divorce before I said anything, but I've been interested in you for years. I wanted you to call me after your call with Kim, because I thought she'd turn you down and I'd have a chance to console you."
She looked sheepishly over at Kim. "Instead, she was the one consoling me this morning. She really is a sweetheart. You got lucky with her. I need to go home for a little while and think, but can I come back later tonight?"
I saw Cathy waving and glanced her way before answering. She was nodding her head and grinning. She does that a lot. The grinning, not the nodding. She mouthed 'She knows everything.'
"Actually, I need to go out and pick up some groceries. Would y'all like to have dinner here tonight? I'll cook, have some wine, etc."
All three women quickly agreed. I told them to come back around six o'clock. Cathy volunteered to take Kim home, since she didn't have a car. When I walked them out to the car, I insisted on opening each of their doors for them. Before they got in, I gave both of them a searing kiss, meant to let them know more was coming.
I saw that Tina was getting ready to get in her car, and for some reason, I said more forcefully than I intended, "Tina! Stop!"
Tina actually stopped and looked over at me, perhaps a little nervous. I looked back at Cathy's car as she backed out of the driveway. Kim was giving me a lustful stare. I turned back to Tina, who was still standing there, one hand toward the car door. I slowly walked up to her.
"I apologize if you thought I was yelling. I just wanted to speak to you before you left. If you don't mind, could you come around five o'clock to help me get dinner ready? It'll give us a chance to talk, as well."
