The Matrons of Regal Bay
Chapter 13
Ursula's Tales -- Part 1
Ursula Killibrew shared an office with two other members of the English Department. Unlike her fellow instructors, Ursula tried to keep her cubicle-encased area, which included her desk, a small side table, a bookcase, and an under-counter refrigerator, clean and tidy. Her companions in the office, Layna Tantalous and Glenda Van Winkle, rarely straightened up their areas at all. Ursula owed this to their relatively young ages, though both were in their mid-thirties. To Ursula, who was nearly ten years their senior, her office-mates seemed to act more like the students they taught than as mature individuals tasked with instructing the youth of today.
Although Ursula made every effort to get along with her two younger colleagues, she found that their interests just weren't the same. Ursula enjoyed the classics, both in literature as well as in the arts. She would rather attend a symphony or play than go to a rock concert or movie. They rarely discussed anything outside of their work, either in the office or when they dined together in the faculty dining facility. Even then, Ursula was much more involved in the conversation than either Layna or Glenda.
Sitting at her desk, working through the class itinerary for her evening adult continuing education course, Ursula paid little attention to the conversation going on between the two other women. It was nearing five in the afternoon, and all of them had completed the last of their Wednesday afternoon classes. Of the three, Ursula was the only one who had added an adult course to her semester schedule. That class met at eight p.m. on Wednesdays. Most weeks Ursula would remain on campus during those hours between, having dinner in the student facility or at one of the near-by off-campus restaurants. For this evening, however, she had planned to run home for a couple of hours.
"I swear to God, Layna, if that girl dresses any more provocative, I'm going to have to pull her in here and give her tight little ass a good spanking!" Glenda's booming voice brought Ursula out of her peaceful shell for a brief moment to listen.
"You wouldn't!" Layna replied with a laugh. "What would Kelly say?"
"Kelly wouldn't know about it," Glenda replied, referring to her girl-friend. Glenda was a lesbian and proud of it. She was also rampant flirt and seemed to hit on any woman who gave her the slightest glance. Glenda was a tall, big-boned woman who looked strong because she was strong. Glenda had been a basketball star at Regal Bay University before joining the faculty. She was also the youngest daughter of Gloria Van Winkle, one of the leading ladies of the entire Regal Bay community, as well as a sitting member of the Board of Directors of the University. As it was, Glenda could just about get away with much of anything she wanted, even if that included sleeping with half of the female student body during her years on staff.
"Kelly and I have an understanding, Layna," Glenda continued. "I do what I want with who I want, and she keeps me happy by taking care of my house and bills."
"Someday, I hope to have a guy who will do that for me," Layna replied. "I'm tired of dates not going anywhere. I'm tired of guys only wanting one thing, and that one thing being between my legs."
"They are wonderfully long legs, Layna," Glenda replied with a smirk. "You know, when you finally give up on the dick-meat wagon you can always come over to the softer side of life."
"As if there is anything soft about you!" Layna replied to her flirty friend. Glenda was constantly hitting on Layna, who was an exotic Greek beauty, with olive skin and long, jet-black hair. She was equally as tall as Glenda, but much more feminine. She was the daughter of Xylina Tantalous, owner and manager of the Theros Greek Restaurant down town, as well as the several Gyros Huts dotting the area. Of the two, Ursula liked her the best, and wished that she could spend more time with her, without the boisterous Glenda to dominate the room.
Ursula logged out from her work station and gathered up her things. She stood up, though at just barely five feet tall her office-mates still didn't notice her. In fact, it wasn't until she stepped out and moved to the door did Glenda say, "Oh, Ursula! I didn't know you were still here. You're such a quiet little cuddle-bear!" Ursula grinned and waved off Glenda's comment. Even she, a small, pudgy, middle-aged woman had to put up with the big lesbian's flirtations. That was alright with Ursula however. At least it made her feel a bit part of the group at times. Not that she would ever consider it with Glenda.
No, Ursula had a big, strong lover of her own. Not that anyone knew about him. Not that she wanted anyone to ever know about him.
Ursula found her blue Prius in the lot and pulled out. It was just after five by the dashboard clock. She had plenty of time before her evening class.
Ursula Killibrew found her father's pick-up truck parked at the curb in front of her house. She didn't see her son's car in the driveway, so she assumed that Freddy must not be home from his job at Home Depot yet, or possibly he was out with friends. As she parked her car in the driveway, she punched the button on the visor to lift the garage door. She left her car outside and as she went on in she checked her cell phone. No, her son had not left her a message, either. But that wasn't out of the ordinary for him, either.
"Dad?" she called as she dropped her purse onto the kitchen counter.
