Monday morning, Mr Sharp unexpectedly said, "Jeff, Mrs Cameron would like to see you. She said you may want to take an extra Home Ec class today."
"That is a hard choice to make. I like this class or I would not have taken it. If I go to Home Ec, I have to eat all my mistakes. Would you get better response from your students if you instituted the same rules?"
He smiled and pointed. "Get out of here."
I smiled back and left.
It wasn't until I knocked and was let in that I noticed that this was Paige's class. "Hello, Mrs Cameron. You summoned me?"
"Yes, I did. I wanted a young man's point of view about a lady's fashion, hygiene and other matters. You usually have enough to say that I can get some inventory work done."
"Hygiene can take a long time by itself Mrs Cameron." The teacher got up and opened the door into the back of the room but left it open.
"If you need me just call loudly," she said.
"Thank you Ma'am."
I put my books on the teacher's desk and stood in front of the room. I looked at Paige and said, "Hello Sweetie. I didn't expect to see you until lunch." She looked a little stunned at me being here.
The class looked at me expectantly. "Mrs Cameron wanted me to talk about hygiene. Before I begin though I have to talk about boys and their problems."
I looked at the girls again and asked, "Everybody that has been in the boys gym put up their hand." I did but nobody else did.
"I see you already know to avoid the place. I can't. I have to go there. The boys sweat from working out and just walk to their next class. Most of them have no idea that they smell so bad. It's considered uncouth to bring that to a person's attention so the person is shunned instead. Better to say, 'Hey, Bud. You were working too hard. You need a shower.' Too bad that doesn't happen."
The girls were smiling now and I went on with the way boys acted and used the snot skit and the girls laughed a lot and I heard laughter in the back room.
"So boys are dirty and uncaring. This is because they were not taught well enough. Some are so boneheaded that they will not change their ways because they're too lazy. You have to catch them early and keep at them to get something done.
"Boys are strange, especially around girls. We boys walk around talking about sports and all of a sudden our pants get tight." It took a moment for some to catch on. "This is a natural occurrence. It sometimes happens for no reason. Nothing excited him at all." I reached into my pants. "A guy has to reach in some times and make himself more comfortable. He can't do it around other guys or they will think that guys turn him on. Most of them are so unsure that they need their mommies all the time. The trouble is that their mommies never told them the real facts of life.
"Now a boy's anatomy is different than a girl or a doctor would never be able to tell us apart." I went to the board and drew the male genitals. I drew them as big as I could make them.
"Not all guys are as big as this."
I got some good laughs but some girls were not sure what they were laughing at. "The average man is about six inches long and over an inch in diameter when he is happy to see a girl. When the girl is mad at him it is two inches long and the diameter of a thin broomstick. Times like that it wants to hide.
"When a boy gets excited other things happen to him. His heart goes to beating a mile a minute. His eyes get as big as saucers. He sweats buckets. The most important though is not that he is sporting what some guys call 'wood' but it is his attitude. An old saying is that men have very little blood to serve the brain. When a man gets an erection the lower head gets all the blood and the man does not think right. This happens more in the younger males with little experience. Older males that have an overabundance of hormones act like that all the time.
"To paraphrase, when a boy gets horny he does not think of tomorrow or anything else beyond the woman in front of him.
"Now when a male is erect some clear and slippery substance leaks out. I'll get to that later. When he gets very excited during his orgasm, a teaspoon of white liquid comes out. This is a mixture of many things but the most important are tens of millions of little sperm cells."
I described what I had done on Friday to the boys. I was cruder in a way now because I used all the synonyms for the terms a boy would use.
I drew the female anatomy on the board. "Now back to hygiene. I have known some women that would shame a man in being dirty. Girls are not all sugar and spice. They are blood, bone, skin, and flesh. This all stinks if not kept under control.
"Women as a group think more of themselves and their family but they are far from perfect." I explained about the fertility cycle now and all its component parts.
"Now if one of a boy's wigglers finds its way up to the fallopian tubes, an egg may get fertilised." I went through all the things that were needed to have the egg attach itself to the wall of the womb.
"I have to get off the subject a bit now. Girls go crazy too when they get horny. I'm referring to instinct. That's the same thing that makes a boy crazy. If you go beyond a certain point you'll not be able to think straight and you'll take risks that over time will make you a mommy.
"I was talking a bit to some ladies over the weekend. Every last one was like you girls. They were just a bit older and had boyfriends. It went from petting to other things then to having sex. Sometimes the boy promises on everything he holds dear but doesn't pull out. He can't help it for his instinct says to make more of his kind. Other times he does pull out. Millions upon millions of kamikaze sperm cells leave. In a few moments he is back in, but what the couple don't know is that not all the sperm cells left. It only takes one to make a mommy of each of you girls.
I had to talk around the subject. I couldn't tell how to have safe sex, I had to do it so that I was explaining bad practices. "A girl that knows her natural rhythm will risk the chance of getting pregnant because she loves the feelings she gets during the act and perhaps because she loves the boy she's with. She relies on him to support her and the child if and when a pregnancy occurs. Other times are safe but the number of days is never enough.
"The girls I mentioned talking to on Sunday told me that they and their boyfriends loved each other stronger than anyone ever had ever done before. When the girls got pregnant they found the boyfriends either drifted away or ran away. The woman now has to almost rip out her heart in making a decision. She must either give the child up for adoption or fight from a losing position to raise the child. Some were lucky to have understanding parents that would help but that doesn't happen often enough.
"Some mothers have no idea where the father of their child is. Some know because he is going out with a different girl. One of the guys actually got a second girl pregnant and abandoned her too."
"The guy is a criminal in my opinion. The second girl was just plain ignorant of the facts. I talked to both, so I know. The second one still thought that it would not happen to her.
"Think of it as a car accident. You drive around enough and there is much more chance of getting into problems. Do any of you here believe that a driver thinks he will be in an accident? It always happens to the other guy until the driver sees it coming and cannot avoid it.
"I'm not promoting sex. It's an instinctual act that can be governed somewhat by the rational mind. I doubt if anyone here will end up a virgin when she dies. This means that you will engage in sex to some degree. You get to pick when, where and who with. I'm saying that your body is your own. Some men think that they own it."
The girls looked at me in wonder.
"If you think for a moment, it was not long ago that women got the vote. Now tell me how many women have been elected to office since then? While we are at it, let's look at those women that made it. They have offices that are of insignificant status and basically have no power. Our laws came from Britain, men made them. When we Canadians started making our own laws, men made them. The laws passed since women got elected make up a very small portion.
"So I showed that men made nearly all our laws. Now we come to contraceptives. This is what will make women truly free and it's being denied you. This is done by laws enacted and enforced by men.
"You, as women, have to wake up. Now that you have the vote, you have half the population. Sounds to me like laws can be made that suit both halves of the human race. Men have always treated women with care but this made them second-class citizens. The men open the door for you which is nice but not if it keeps you from doing other things.
"Now I have gone far beyond hygiene. I showed you that you could get pregnant because some of the ideas that you had were seriously wrong. I have avoided talking about some things but did say that the odds are stacked against you. You want freedom to enjoy life but you're the one to bear the burden of any mistake. The laws in this country are slanted against women. I also have to say that many places in the world a girl is not even allowed to have an education. You are freer than them but you're still treated as children, not smart enough to understand things that only a man can know. Tell me how smart your fathers and mothers are. Is there a lot of difference?
"This talk was to a group of young adults. Women that have more experience in life can share their experiences much better than me. I have tried to be as non-bias as possible but I do not know everything. The class ends in twelve minutes so ask questions now and I'll do my best to answer them. Some answers will be only partial and I cannot answer at all because of where we are."
The questions came out slow and simple at the first. Paige saw this and knew what to do. "Jeff, when is it safe to have sex if you are using this rhythm method?"
"It is never fully safe but three days before and three days after the fertile period are the most dangerous. It is more a matter of statistics and I know you girls don't want to talk math unless it is about multiplying.
"Are there a lot of other things a girl could do that would not lead to her getting pregnant?
"A great many but that is one of the questions I cannot answer in detail."
Paige asked a third question. "What about abortion?"
"That is a medical and legal question. A doctor can perform the procedure fairly safely but he cannot just do it on demand. The lawmakers hope that if a pregnant girl cannot find relief then she will not get pregnant in the first place. That is as foolish as restricting condoms because a boy will not engage in sex without them.
"Basically that is the way our system of laws work or doesn't work. A rational person thinks of the risks and weights them against what is to be gained. Most people are not rational and the laws don't work for them."
One girl asked, "Ah, — Why can't a boy pull out?"
"Some can if their little brain doesn't take all the blood. It's also about being too young or having so little experience that their instinct demands that they make the best chance to have children when they have so few opportunities."
More questions came and they were getting more difficult to answer. I skirted some or I would run into dangerous waters.
When the bell rang the questions continued and Mrs Cameron had to come out and raise her voice to expel her students. I gave Paige a small kiss but I was not allowed to leave yet.
"That was much different from what Mr Renzo said you did in his class."
"I had to cover a lot more territory. Ah, where is Mrs Warren?"
"Ah — she is not feeling well."
I whispered, "Was my topic that emotional?"
"She must have been hurt at one time and she has never been able to get over it."
I hurried around the teacher and headed to the storeroom. Mrs Warren was crouched over while sitting on a small stepladder. I got very close and remembered a handkerchief in my pocket. I had made it and it was even clean, I think.
With the cloth in my hand I sopped up some of the tears and she immediately sat up straight. I continued to dry her face. My other hand held hers, still clutched together. I had thought the term old maid may have hurt her but now I realised she may have been one of those women that had a child out of wedlock.
"I'm sorry if my words caused you pain. The girls just needed to know."
The woman sobbed and I took the handkerchief to her nose and I said, "Blow."
She did then she held the handkerchief in her own hands. "I'm better now, Mr Congdon."
"After all we have been through we are closer than that. Call me Jeff. Though I caused you a good deal of grief I want to be friends."
She started to cry again and I moved closer and wrapped my arms around her. Her arms went around me and the crying got worse. I whispered some soothing words to her. They seemed to calm me and I hope they worked on her. It was at least fifteen minutes later that Mrs Warren was able to get a grip on herself.
She stood up and I held her to me. She used the very wet handkerchief in one hand as we walked to the door. I stopped her just before it and whispered in her ear, "I better peek out. The girls will think that I lured you in here and had my way with you. I'll do the respectable thing though."
She smiled at me then her face changed dramatically and she started to cry again. I pulled her back into my arms and held her tight. Her cries settled down sooner and she stood again. She pushed me back but only a bit. "Maybe they'll think I had my way with you."
"Only if I walk out with a shit-eating grin."
"Watch your tongue Jeff."
"Yes Gail."
She looked a bit unsure and I said, "You are Mrs Warren but in private we are friends. Friends lean on friends and gain strength from those around them. Barriers between friendships are not good."
"Yes, I think you can be my friend."
"Good, then we need to sit down and have a cup of tea. Maybe even find a dry hankie."
She chuckled. "Some do get quite wet."
I peeked and found the classroom empty. We came out supporting each other. The blackboard had been hastily cleaned. I found more material and made two impromptu handkerchiefs. Gail traded for one. When we got to the hall I found it empty. I had thought it a good chance that the students would just be held out here. Apparently there was and empty classroom for them to use.
"Where can we sit without being disturbed?"
"My class?"
"Can the spare teacher take this one too?"
"I guess."
"Where to?"
"The teacher's lounge I guess."
She guided me in the direction but I helped support her. She still used the handkerchief and her face was a mess. We came by the washrooms and I guided her into the girl's and came in with her. With her leaning on the wall I washed out the wet handkerchief and cleaned Gail's face with it. I had a comb but had to use my fingers instead to put her hair back in place. Paper towelling was used to pat her face dry.
"Do you have to go pee?"
She paused then said, "I'd better."
I guided her over to a stall and waited a few yards away. When she came out she looked for me and I walked with her to the sink. She washed her hands and put a few errant strands of grey hair back in place when she looked at the mirror.
"Jeff, we're in the girl's washroom."
"Better here than in the boy's."
"I guess."
We continued our walk and nobody saw where we had been. The teacher's lounge smelt of cigarette smoke and the ashtrays were full even at this time of day. I sat Gail down on the vinyl-covered couch and I sat beside her.
She started to cry again and I held her.
On impulse I asked, "How old is the baby now?"
In a few seconds she said, "He must be — " then she looked as if I had punched her hard. "What do you mean?"
"Your baby."
"How did you know?"
"Gail, we're friends. Friends can keep secrets. I thought I had hurt you with my statement about an old maid. Later I knew it had to be something much more troubling. Then it was only a small step to knowing that you were like those women I was talking about."
"You can't tell. Teachers could loose their jobs." She was very worried.
"Gail, relax. First you have been working for the school board for a long time. They may only screen new hires for things like that. They would not fire you. Besides if they did I would get a very reputable law firm to fight for what is right. The school board would back down very quickly. I don't fight with gentlemanly rules anymore and that goes for legal fighting."
"Are you sure?"
"Gail, I'm not going to lie to a friend. You know I'm smart. You would not lose your job even if you took out an advertisement in the newspaper about it."
"How?"
"Just trust me for now and we can talk about that later."
"But — "
She was upset and I went into my hypnosis routine once again when a person was in pain. She went under very soon and I worked to deepen the trance. The clock said it was almost time for the bell so I gave her a trigger phrase and slowly brought her out after saying that she was much stronger now and could deal with her problems.
"What did you do to me Jeff?"
We didn't have much time so I said, "Corinne was raped in her bum. She was in pain and I put her in a trance. It kept the pain at bay for a week. I did the same thing to you. Now you have more of your mind to deal with what troubles you. Your subconscious is very strong and now there is more of your brain fighting for you. I never said to forget anything and you heard everything I said. Friends don't hurt friends."
"Ok, I guess."
The bell rang and when it stopped, I said, "You are not ready to face the world yet. Let's go to the office and tell them that you are going home on a sick day."
"But my classes?"
"They will be just fine. Now let's go before the next group of teachers come in here to pollute our lungs."

November weather can be very tricky in this area and can change quickly...warm one hour and cold the next.

She was now becoming a master at them, and challenging Riccardo to make the programs more and more difficult. Breakfast was always spent talking with Dr. Leslie. She came to the conclusion that these were on going psychological examinations! But she didn't care. She loved Leslie more than anyone. Her afternoons...
REBIRTH PART FIVE CHAPTER 17: GREAT DATE Dick was true to his word. He called Jamie Saturday, about noon, and asked if she wanted to go to the movies, ?or something? later that night. Jamie suggested that Dick come over to the mansion. She said they could watch a movie there, and wouldn?t be confined to being quiet and stuck in the show. Jamie said that if Dick wanted to rent a movie or two that would be fine, she didn?t care what he wanted to see. Dick readily agreed, and...
REBIRTH ADVENT Chapter 1 I sat at the bar, alone, just enjoying the dim lighting, the cool air, and, most of all the quiet. It should be quiet; it was only 1o'clock in the afternoon, after all. I have always enjoyed this place because it was just a bar; in a world of specialty drinking houses, sports bars, strip bars, pick-up bars, you name it, it was pleasant and relaxing to find a place without pretention, without ambition, that just is what it is and is content with that. The...

Walking down the road to an outdoor cafe he brought no eyes onto himself. His gait was smooth with no variation that so many of the young folks have.

The rest are streaked and dusty in the bright sunlight. That disturbs me. How can people see me when the windows are not clean? I can't see my reflection. My thoughts drift like warm honey. I stand in my pose, as I always have. I'm wearing black, strappy...

You are not dead let me assure you of that before you do anything rash, but sadly it is beyond my power to return you to your original world although I can find out who has done this to you and see about getting it reversed. Before we continue, let's start piecing you back together, shall we? Let's start with something simple, are you a boy or a...

Eons of eons in the future, or at least what humanity once called the future, earth and all of its inhabitants have long disappeared. The sun, the beginning, and source of all life exhausted its hydrogen fuel, and, as a result, slowly expanded into a red giant. Earth, and the other inner planets, had been swallowed up, vaporized. Only a slowly cooling white dwarf remained to pinpoint where humanity began and once lived. Humanity, however, did not die. Just as the sun had evolved, so too had...

Gay MaleI Would you believe it if I told you that, at the age of twenty-four, I was still a virgin? Perhaps at some point, I had subconsciously decided that nobody would ever want to fuck me. Now I’ve decided this ought not to be the case; I was wasting time not being put to good use. If I wanted to become Anastasia, I’d have to start somewhere, right? Surely, there were too many horny men out there in need of sexual release, at least some of whom would be more than willing to have their way with me.I...
Gay MaleThe strobes flashed, and the fans churned up a make-believe ocean breeze. It even smelled like the beach in the studio, from the ton and a half of sand they hauled in for the shoot. The center of attention was a lithe, fair-skinned model with long hair that flowed like black water in the wind. As the cameras clicked and hummed, she posed expertly, every move perfect, every look to die for. Two lighting technicians enjoyed the show. Their equipment was in place and required no...
Mom was up early again and she got what she wanted before I got my eggs. The girls came down later and looked at us as if to find a way to read what was happening. They knew our mother and I had sex and the scream at the end readily confirmed it. Paige was on the look out for threats on the way to school and I let her have her fiction that this is they way I would be attacked. Before school started I reported to Mr Goods and told him of how Goldbalm had almost pushed his way into our home...
Today I took Paige home with a difficult parting for each of us. I kissed Jane and the girls but got my bike out of the garage. It had been used for the newspapers and had large balloon tires. Though my body had rode the bike even in the winter my mind had not been on a bike in fifteen years. I walked with Sandy and Faith, and my cane was sticking out of a cardboard box. We spoke of the projects and I explained about what the bottoms would be like as the world liberalised. "The bottoms can...
I slept in until eight thirty. I woke to find Maggie licking my erect prong. They were whispering encouragement and possible technique. Susan said, "Lick just the end. Clara says her sister does that to her boyfriend and it drives him wild. Ya, like that but just use the tip of your tongue." I was enjoying the sensations then I heard, "Guys like girls to run the tip of your tongue all the way from the bottom to the top. Other guys have lots of hair so you can start on his bag." Maggies...
I woke up early and just stayed in bed looking at my lover. She had a small snore that she always denied. When she woke up she looked around to see me looking at her. "What are you looking at mister?" "Oh, just the woman I love." "Ha! You love a lot of women and I have to share." "True but I love you the most." "Prove it." I started my journey till she remembered her state. Her bum got a single swat and I continued. Her scream five minutes later woke the others. With her hand...
The girls accused me of being a tyrant because of my constant questioning. Passing this year would be less difficult for them but I still wanted them to get high marks. This would boost their confidence and probably get them to work even harder in September. Paige came over and showed me her new dress. The quality time she shared with her mother had taught her many skills and caused Nora to go beyond what she knew. I was always getting new things to taste. I had homemade shirts too that I...
A week before final exams, I handed in the completed patent application. Reference was made to one mirror at the back to bounce more of the laser light back into the system. Other gases including that from a carbon dioxide fire extinguisher were entered. These were expensive to fill but the school board or Mr Flaherty let me have one. I had even skipped school to work on the 'special project'. North Shore Signs donated some neon that allowed me to cover that particular gas. Helium was not...
Everything changed again on July 20. I was moping around the house after my first appearance in court. The court case was slated for seven days later. I had even turned the television on. I was watching drivel on CBC but my mind was that way too. At eleven twenty a news report came in that cut into the show. The announcer mentioned that a man hijacked an automobile with a gun in Windsor Ontario that morning. A still photo showed a good-looking young woman that the reporter said was...
There was a fog on the ground in the morning. It was quite cool. When it was light enough I studied the topo map. We were much higher now and I took out the compass I had found in the cabin. The kidnapper, or Carl Honzer, would keep the hydro road well patrolled and try to keep us from getting to Vockner. The more sizable town of Malute could be reached with more difficulty and the man could not be in both places at once. Though it was chilly I did what was necessary. I dumped my water and...
Pre-recorded music was only in record form in 1958. Eight or the rare four track cartridges were not even around then. Phillips made tape recorders but they were the reel to reel type. There were some quality problems with sound and maintenance. There was a very noticeable hiss from the tape that could be corrected by using a ceramic head. These devices had not invented yet. Also later on, two ridges on the head were used to guide the edges of the tape so it didn't wander. Another...
The bus trip to Toronto was boring but I managed to get a seat that had some light and I buried my nose in a Chemistry book from the library. When things quieted down, I was able to lean on a metal partition and get some sleep. Surprisingly nobody recognised me. At fifteen minutes after seven in the morning we got into the bus station. I had got my bag from overhead and felt bad because I had to have help to both put it in place and retrieve it. A familiar suit and face was waiting in the...
While Mr Holtzman spoke, I absently caressed Corinne's hair and continued working on the ideas that had to be covered in the patent. I must have been at this for ten minutes before I heard my host. "Jeff, will you come here? Mr Sackman is on the phone." "Sure." I put the clipboard aside then tried to slip from under Corinne without waking her. I put her head down and she just went back to sleep. "Hello Mr Sackman. How are you doing?" "Hello to you too Mr Congdon, and I'm feeling...
Paige and I got to Miss Floit's room before the first class. The teacher smiled and said, "Hello Jeff, Paige. How are the pair of you doing?" "Not bad for health but Paige is singing flat again." Paige retorted but only with a little anger. "I am not — " She saw the smile and blushed. I said, "I came here to ask you something. Susan is canvassing for a small band to play with her and the other girls when they play 'Everybody's Somebody's Fool'." "Is that another of your...
I woke up the next morning with someone spreading a bad case of morning breath at me. We were holding each other and it felt good to be where I was. It was still early so I went back to sleep but moved the pillow to deflect the air flow. The second time I awoke it was to people moving in the house. There was an analogue clock on the table because digital clocks were not invented yet. That may be another thing to make when I got LCDs done. Corinne looked very beautiful as she rested quietly....
It was a different student this time. He yelled at me, "Watch where the fuck you're going. You trip me again and I'll pound the crap outta you good and I won't let you drop a rock on me either." My shoulder that suffered from the gunshot hurt like hell. The young man was bigger than the last, and maybe grade eleven or twelve but I wasn't sure. I got up with difficulty and said, "Did she promise you some good pussy for this. I doubt if she will pay up. That makes you a fool." The...
The next day at gym, Mr Renzo didn't mention health class at all. I did get a little shit for not being as fast as I should be. The students looked sharply at me as if I was going to flatten the teacher. Later, though, they had lots of questions. I had even less time to answer them. Home Ec was better because Mrs Cameron was talking about budgets and then negotiating for a good price. Since I had mentioned this the first day of class, I was asked again. I had fun talking about the machines...
The girls used the phone to contact friends and I started to make lunch. We ate together as usual but this time Susan was talking of her plan. It had some thought put into it. I politely shot some holes in it so she could find ways to patch her strategy. The basement called me and I went down with a bit more hope in wringing out some information to make something that I had seen thousands of times. Jane made supper and she whispered to me, "They are still very excited. They called lots of...
Wednesday I saw more of the proud looking girls. Their backs were straight and they walked with graceful steps. If the queen had come, she could walk no better. Some nodded their heads at me as if signalling that I was at least partially acceptable. When I got into Home Ec, Janice came to me quickly before the class started. I thought she was going to ask about a suitable boy but she said, "Jeff are you going to give us a talk too." Mrs Cameron came in right behind her and interrupted,...
Friday morning had an inch of snow on the ground. This was almost nothing to us. A few fools forgot that they had to use more room to stop and got into accidents. I knew that even this much snow would stop some warm cities because nobody had any experience driving in this condition. I listened to the girls talk as the snow crunched under their boots. I wondered why Sam Johnson had not phoned last night and put it off as his method of saying he wasn't really interested in my songs. That was...
At nine thirty we got to John's home and I just wanted to sleep. Corinne wanted to talk and play. I had a quick shower and talked to the child for a half hour then went to sleep. Corinne got on the bed later and watched me wondering why I wanted to do a stupid thing like sleep when I could be playing or talking with her. I got up at four with a headache from changing my sleep pattern. Corinne was happy that I came to my senses. I wanted to do some shopping before the stores closed. Sunday...
I was able to have lunch with Paige the next day. We enjoyed ourselves even more because Marcy didn't come around to bother us or abuse me. There was not even a large young man ready to do damage either. Other young men bothered me though. It was not the same group but either they had the same complaint or Marcy had found a more subtle way of attacking me. I could see her quite easily stirring up the guys by blaming me for all their ills. I did another small experiment in chemistry and at...
James and Jane were sitting down drinking some tea when I arrived. He seemed to like some of Jane's pastries. He jumped up when I got there. I had to smile and said, "Sit and eat. We are not in that much of a rush." He nervously said, "I got most of the things you wanted. The planning department provided me the maps without a problem." "Did you find out about the crusher?" "It was bought by a scrap yard. I went by and saw that it has not been cut up yet. I don't know how good it...
It was a cold morning although there was no new snow. We talked as we walked to school, and I was worried about the girls. "Jennifer, why don't you set aside some time for music? You too Susan. You can still have your social gatherings but you did start the other tasks." It was Susan that answered. "I guess we could." She looked around at the other girls and they seemed to nod in acceptance. I guess they were looking for a way to get back to their old routine, they just needed a small...
When I regained my seat I said, "How many of these can we get? I want to put out the possibility of letting the current tenants stay in the house until we are ready to upgrade the street." Both were staring at me. Jane was the one that broke first. "Well?" "Well, What?" "The loan?" "Oh, it looks like I got it." "How much?" "It's on a sliding scale. The line of credit is based on what I currently own. When I use the money to buy any particular property then that loan can be...
That night Paige and I bathed in our own en suite. I couldn't wait and made love to her in the enclosure. She returned the favour as I held her head to me. When we got out I carefully dried each inch of her body and kissed the portions to make sure. She shivered though as I continued until the job was done to my satisfaction. We hurried back to bed so I could begin again to make love to my future wife. The door opened slowly and I stopped what I was doing. The eye looking at me was only...
We got into North Bay at a little after eight. We all went to our house in two taxis. I opened the door first and knew there was something wrong. I could detect the faint smell of cigarette smoke. It was old but not that old. Being at the front of the bus all that time kept the smell of cigarettes away from me. I pulled Jane off to one side for a moment and whispered, "Someone was in our house. Don't say anything that can harm the family. Tell the other girls though. I don't want to upset...
Wednesday was almost a non-event. I was still not ready to participate much in school life. Jamie invited me over to his home but I had to refuse. Mr Grissom gave me some pamphlets and even some phone numbers to try, but because Barry was now twenty, getting him educational help it was not going to be easy. There was no such thing as an adult education centre anywhere that I knew of other than at a college or university. Ian though was coming around enough that I was able to introduce him to...
When I woke up the four engineers were still there with six others. Mrs. MacIntee was making breakfast, and when she bent down to put a plate in front of me I impulsively kissed her cheek then said, "Thanks, you are a great cook." "Thank you too Mr Congdon." "I think we have known each other for a while now. We can go by first names. Mr Holtzman runs his home his way but I like to be more personal." "My name is Rose." I went upstairs later and woke up a sleepy little girl by...
Jamie came in with a bruise on his face. His walk was odd; and it could have been from a fall as he said. It was during gym that I saw the bruising on his arm much like a strong man had squeezed him on both arms. After gym I said, "Jamie, will you do as I say? I am your friend." "Yes — yes I will." I pulled him back into a corner and hand him face away from the light. "Bend over and touch your toes and keep your hands there." "Why?" "Am I your friend?" He did as I asked but did...
I woke up now very mindful of the microphone. A hand was holding my erection while Jamie was cuddled to my back. I could feel that a portion of his anatomy had slipped out of its confines and was now between my legs. When I moved to get up Jamie moved to keep me in place as if it were important we stayed this way. It took a little work but I got away from him and covered him with the blankets again. I walked into the kitchen with my pajama bottoms sticking out and found Edgar there having a...
He didn't argue but couldn't get Jamie to respond. When the boy started to collapse the man moved faster than I could believe possible and scooped him up. Everybody now was concerned. I picked up the box and said, "Jamie is still upset. He is just going for a rest." I hurried up the stairs and found Jamie on the bed and Charley kneeling beside it trying to think of what to do. I sat on the bed looking at the boy and Charley said, "Do you want me to go?" "No." I stroked Jamie's...
Mr Sackman left the next day. He took the 'Star' newspaper with him to read about what happened in North Bay. He said, "With this I can make you even richer." John went to work. Carm and I went with him and used his car. We toured Chinatown; and it was a lot smaller than what it would become in years to come. I bought oriental vegetables, rice, spices and a great many more articles including various kinds of tea. When I found that Carm had not been paid yet I gave him some money as an...
We arrived on the thirteenth and tomorrow would be Wednesday, Maggie's birthday. John was going to stay over and go to the party even if it was just a small one with just our extended family. Paige came running to see me. We hugged and kissed right in the street. The ladies were lined up and I kissed all of them but had to do it more chastely for real family. Corinne was happy to see both her Grampy and me. All the girls kissed Jamie more thoroughly than I had been greeted, and he seemed to...
Things had not settled down at school. People who didn't know me avoided me as if I would suddenly attack them. Cops wore guns in later years and the police were usually known for being stable. The gun was not noticed as much. I hoped that they could see that I was not going to do anything unless I was threatened. The people that did know me avoided me as if they didn't want to hurt a celebrity. I just tried to act as like a dopey kid and hope they bought it. I was able to eat lunch with...
We went to Toronto with presents for Corinne. John had some for me too. MGM had bought Jaws and the novel 'Star Wars' was going to be published late in the fall. The deal for the razors went through and we even got an offer from Bell or rather AT&T. It was a lowball figure and I was not letting them get away with it. We had sent the same design out to various countries in Europe. They had not got back to us even though they had the parts and drawings for just as long. A similar circuit...
The two weeks before the trip were hectic. The band and everyone else expected me to get everything ready. I got everyone's birth certificate as this was all that was needed to cross the border. Flashing money at a problem was not good so I just made use of the bus system one more time. I purchased tickets ahead of time for an express coach to Toronto, followed by a short stop over and a regular bus to Fort Erie and then over the bridge to Buffalo. In Buffalo we would get onboard a flight...
The trip home was not as exciting as the one going south. We had slept on the flight with the help of hypnosis. The band members were not involved in this. Angela's parents and Paige's came over and the group let them in on the details. The highlight was to meet some of the professional singers. Everyone here had a chance to shake hands with Elvis among others. I received some good and bad news too. The city fathers were having a special meeting on Tuesday to discuss the sale of the land....
The courtroom the next day was exactly the same. The Crown Attorney took up where he had left off and dealt with the next set of charges against Goldbalm. "Tell us what happened when you were chased by Mr Sinclair." I had a folder in my hand with my notes and went through them point by point. The courtroom gasped as I took out Mr Sinclair's eye then his testicles and jaw. I explained how I was hurt but still got the man into the car. I mentioned his gun but he was in no condition to get...
When I left the house and went back to town I stopped off at the lab. Edgar showed me the ruby laser in operation. There was more dispersion in the beam and Edgar said, "We are doing other crystals too to get the strongest results. The chrome works great. What else can we use?" "Pick something and try it. I want your name out there too and not just as the guy that built the device for me. I do have two more kinds of crystals to make then we are going public. We could get more done but I...
School had changed not only for me but for everyone. The female population was not as meek. Girls had always known that they had something that the males wanted and felt secure that they could trade for it. It was just that after the trade was legitimised then it was taken for granted. Now the ladies were more socially aware and knew a lot more about what was ahead of them. This now made the boy who was malleable in more demand. In a way the boys were now being trained so they would fit...
Paige's perspective: I felt so helpless. Dad walked behind me as we went down the steps to the front door. Maggie and Jamie just stood open-mouthed as we walked by. I turned around with tears in my eyes and looked at Jeff who was following us. He was just as upset as I was. He looked at me as if we would never see me again and I felt the same way even though I knew that we would get back together somehow. Dad had never been this angry before and I didn't know what caused it. Outside the...
Jack was remanded for ten days in jail. We went down to see him but I did not go in just yet. Paige came out crying because her father was not better yet. I began to suspect something rotten and then consider what I could do to monitor the man. Nora confirmed my suspicions when she said, "Jack isn't getting better. In fact he still looks like he's on a drunk." I took my suspicions to Mr Tatum the Crown Attorney. After we shook hands, he said, "What can I do for you Mr Congdon? How is...
School was not that different for me, but it was for some of the grade nine students. The girls took a class with a woman teacher that taught how to service a car. One young and good looking female cook from the Mandarin Restaurant showed how it was really done in a kitchen. I had a difficult time understanding her but her class was in quite a demand. The restaurant was not finished yet but the roof and walls were up. It, like the dojo, showed the peaked roofs of eastern architecture. Mai...
