My Gibson acoustic was still out so I went to put it in its case. While I was fiddling with it Trish asked me to play something else for them. In the bottom of the Gibson's case was some music that I recognized as an arrangement I had worked on before coming to school. I brought the music over to Carol and asked how she was at sight-reading. She actually blushed and said she was pretty good. I told her to look at the music for a minute while I turned on the vibraphone. I told everyone that when the girls came back over we could all do this one as it could use a bass line.
When I brought Delta music for her to play with her violin she was very excited. Trish was looking at me with a kind of sideways look as if she were being left out. I handed her some music then my prized Gibson and told her, "Trish, I saw the guitar at your house and just know you play. You've probably even had lessons and are probably pretty accomplished considering how well you play everything else. Do this for me.
Delta said, "you guessed right. She loves to play the guitar but hides from everyone when she does. She will hardly even play for me and I love it when she does."
Trish was smiling as she lovingly fingered the guitar, playing a few chords while perusing the music.
I said that Delta had the lead in with Carol and Trish coming in the third bar. I would be filler all through, backing the piano. I told them we would play it straight through the first time then I would show them what I had in mind when I did the arrangement.
Delta began "Summertime" from Porgy and Bess. The violin was perfect; giving the eerie sound that almost mimics a voice singing. Carol and Trish came in perfectly. You could almost hear "and the living is easy." I did a mimic or quick repeat on the vibraphone accenting the tune.
From the couch Dan moaned, "oh shit."
Carol shot him a dirty look for his bad word but kept on playing. We played through the piece and all applauded each other because it sounded so good. I described what I wanted to do with the music and how I imagined it could be played. Carol said she wasn't very good at improvising when she played but would try. Trish was nodding her head about what I wanted and Delta said she wanted to try even though her instructor had never let her go off on any experimental play.
They all thought they could do solos for at least half of the theme but try for the whole. I said what we all would do was to follow along and if the person needed the help we would just pick up where they had paused or fallen out. The key was to improvise around the main melody theme then if they got into trouble they could just continue with their music so that the piece would flow. We would play the piece through then rotate solos with the rest of us playing softly during the main theme but only chords then we would play the theme through again to finish.
Dan had left the room before we had even finished playing the piece through the first time then reappeared with George and Cecile. All three had drinks in hand and sat on the couch smiling.
I counted off pointing at Delta. She began with Carol and Trish coming in perfectly. When I did my part repeating the beginning theme rapidly, our audience exclaimed, "Wow." I thought it would be cool to let Trish go first so I told her to go first. Delta played the main theme softly while Carol did just the main chords. Trish was excellent. She picked through some jazzy renditions of the theme along with some full chords, and then it was Delta's turn who did a nice job mixing in some rapid fingering and bow work to give the violin solo a jazzy sound. We had to pick her up about three-quarters the way through but it worked perfectly for Carol to begin trying her solo. She did great mixing in some various progressions including some that were just dissonant enough to work perfectly. When it was my turn, I showed off but also showed I was not very well practiced as I had a few mallet slips along the way, but I didn't sound too bad. We played the theme through one last time and had a strong ending with a mutual grand chord.
Our audience applauded while we four just smiled at each other. Carol was first to speak, "That was really exciting. Do you have more of this type of arrangement, Chuck?"
"Wow, did you hear me make my violin sing?" Delta exclaimed.
Trish was sitting, quietly playing the chord progressions of the piece on the Gibson, smiling.
"That was just wonderful," Cecile praised.
George was smiling and said, "Guess we have our own Jazz quartet right here Dan. That was really special. You wrote that Chuck?"
"I arranged it George. Another George, George Gershwin wrote it. All I did was hear it a different way and adapted it to the instruments we played at home," I said facing the couch then turned to Carol. "I have tons of stuff like that but most of it is at home. I have a folder in my room that has a bunch of stuff I had been working on when I left home but as you guys know, I haven't had opportunity or an instrument for quite a while."
Carol grinned, "well you have to get your music from the dorm and bring it so I can play it. I really enjoyed making some deviations from the theme. I heard it in my head before I played it. It was like I was creating it."
I walked over to Carol and gave her a hug, "that's what jazz is all about."
It was getting late. There were yawns from different folks so everyone left for bed. The girls and I went upstairs. I had stripped to my shorts and had pulled the covers over me when Carol followed by Delta and Trish came in all wearing comfortable flannel night gowns. Delta and Trish climbed in bed on each side of me and Carol came over and kissed me on the forehead then did the same with the two girls.
Carol smiled at us and said as she was turning the light out but leaving the door open, "go to sleep you guys, be good. Night."
The girls turned facing me assuming their favorite positions with a head on each of my shoulders. I was getting kisses on each cheek.
"Wasn't that neat. Mom just came and told both of us to come get in bed with you so you wouldn't be lonely. Can you believe it?" Delta said.
Trish agreed, "I would have thought my Mom would have done that long before your Mom would ever do anything like that."
"Well she said for us to be good and go to sleep, so night my lovelies," I said and relaxed as if going to sleep.
Both girls began tickling me with Delta saying, "you just think sleep and we'll get you. This just gives us more time as we don't have to wait till they go to sleep or get busy doing something themselves."
I pulled my arms from under their heads and flipped over facing them. I kneeled putting my knees between each of their legs then pushed the two girls closer together. I leaned over the two of them and kissed each of them long and slow with lots of tongue. When I started kissing necks they pulled their gowns up over their breasts so that my next stop would be to indulge myself with four stiff nipples and four firm puffy breasts. Trish was really hot and actually came when I just started kissing her nipples. It took Delta all the way till I had sucked and nibbled her breasts before she gave her signaling groan. When I kissed Trish's belly button, she pulled off her panties and threw them. Before I could get to Delta's tummy her panties were tossed away too.
I enjoyed both girls and with my fingers, mouth and tongue I brought them both to climax again and again. When they were both totally done, I eased up and kissed both of them gently on the lips. While I was kissing Delta, Trish scooted down and locked her mouth over my drooling dick poking through my boxers. She didn't have to give but a few licks and sucks before I was filling her mouth with come. She came back up and kissed both of us with sperm flavored lips then we snuggled up with a girl on each shoulder and fell asleep.
Sometime in the night, Carol came into the room and just stared at us. She leaned over to kiss Delta on the forehead but paused then sniffed then sniffed the air again. She was softly giggling on her way out the door.
I was groggily waking up wondering what time it might be when there was a bright flash and the hum of a motor whine. I opened my eyes to see Carol dressed in a robe with a Polaroid camera in one hand and twirling two pair of panties in the other. Trish lifted her head to squint at what was happening then the movement woke Delta who turned to see her mom taunting us.
"Mom, what are you doing?" Delta asked.
"I thought I told you kids to be good and go to sleep," Carol taunted.
"He was good mom," Delta smiled, "very, very good."
I just closed my eyes knowing Dan would walk in with a shotgun at any second.
"Get up kids. The Johnson's will be here in a few minutes and you need to get up and be ready for breakfast. Now, out of bed, let's go," Carol urged us.
"We'll get up Mom. Just leave us alone a minute, okay?" Delta whined.
"I want you up now," Carol repeated and walked over to us and pulled the covers back rapidly then jumped back with her eyes bulging at the sight.
Opps!
Both girls had their nighties still pushed up over the top of their breasts leaving them totally naked from there down. I had my boxers on but my morning hard on was sticking out and straight up. The girls had the usual early morning hold on me. Trish had hold on the base while Delta's hand was holding me above Trish's leaving the big head and a couple of inches protruding above their hands.
Carol was just stood there staring with her mouth open saying, "Oh my goodness." She finally recovered enough to back out of the room while her eyes were locked on the girl's hands until she left closing the door gently.
I groaned in agony thinking I would be kicked out of the house soon. Delta asked, "what's wrong Chuck, you okay?"
"Just concerned about your mom, I worry she will throw me out."
Delta let go of me and sat up, "she saw us holding onto you before so what's the big deal if she sees it again."
"Um, you two were both naked laying next to me,"
"We weren't naked, our gowns were just pulled up that's all." Trish said smiling now stoking my morning pride.
"And you saw what she was twirling around on her finger?" I asked Delta.
"She had our panties, now what did she do with them?" Delta asked as she walked through the door and went across the hall to check in her room. She came back into the room totally naked. "Let's get a shower real quick. I'm hungry."
Trish answered for us, "I'll be right there," she said while still stroking me.
Delta left for the bathroom while Trish rolled onto me kissing my face. "How are you this morning lover,"
Before I could answer she was sliding down on me filling herself with my morning pride. "That feels so good," she moaned.
With rapid up and down hip movements we both exploded in seconds. Trish hugged me tight and kissed me tenderly then said, "just what I needed. Now I really need a shower." She pulled off me and headed to the bathroom in Delta's room. I could tell when she got in the shower with Delta because Delta let out a squeal and I could hear her loudly giving Trish the business about the stuff running down her leg.
I grabbed my pants, shirt and some clean underwear and headed to the hall bathroom. Carol was leaning against the doorway still in her robe but it was gaping open showing me she didn't have a lot or nothing on underneath. She was standing there with the girls' panties still twirling on her finger.
"Look here buddy, you said you guys were being careful. Well I just witnessed some un-careful activity between you and Trish. And you guys are supposed to be a little good when the Dads are around."
Her lecture was being accented by her shaking her finger at me which was further loosening up the robe so I now knew there was nothing underneath. It was my turn to gawk. I couldn't help it. A big naked nipple with the swell of the two breasts along with a well trimmed beaver showing had my dick straight out again, poking through the split in by boxers. I had my pants and clean underwear in one hand and my shirt in my other so my hard-on was framed for her to see.
"What made that happen," she asked startled after seeing it.
"Um, a," I stuttered, then nodded at her.
She looked down and saw she was so exposed then slowly stood up straight, which caused the robe to totally open showing off both big breasts and her flat tummy. She pulled the robe out showing me herself completely then closed it and wrapped her belt and tied it. She looked up at me and grinned then left for the stairs saying, "thanks, glad I still have it. You guys just watch yourself."
I took a quick shower dressed then got all my stuff together in case I needed to make a quick getaway. The girls and I went downstairs to find the two Moms now both dressed, sitting at the kitchen table with coffee and the picture Carol had taken. I looked at the black and white picture to make sure it was decent. It was. It was also very sweet with the two girls on my shoulders and all three of us asleep with the covers up to our necks.
The girls and I got coffee and sat at the table with the mom's. Cecile asked, "should we show this picture to your mom?" She was obviously asking me this.
"My mom would probably be okay but you might not want to show dad or my sisters," I said.
"I can understand your dad, but why not your sisters," Carol asked.
"They would have too many questions. Remember they are farm girls and know what's what when it comes to boys and girls. They would be wondering just what the girls and I had been doing."
"Me too," said Cecile.
Carol elbowed her saying, "it was pretty obvious what they were doing when I pulled the covers down. These two were doing it again. Just like the last time when they were on the couch with both of them holding onto him and he was still sticking way out even with both their hands holding him."
"So what. That's what you said they were doing last summer when you caught them on the couch," Cecile said.
"But this time they were all naked," Carol said.
"We were not naked mom," Delta said. "Our gowns were just up by our necks and Chuck still had his boxers on."
"Well he wasn't actually doing it with either of them was he," Cecile asked.
"Not then," Carol said, "but when I went up to remind them to hurry, your Trish was on him playing cowgirl and from my perspective she was riding bareback."
Now I was really red. Trish and Delta both groaned. Trish smiled and said, "I'm sure you both know what it's like to have an itch that needs special scratching in the morning."
Carol and Cecile looked at each other and laughed, "we do, we definitely do."
"Come on, let's get breakfast started. Chuck, you start some bacon. Girls you two mix up some pancakes. Cecile why don't you start some biscuits and I'll cut up some fruit," Carol directed. "Oh Chuck, make some of the sausage too. Make some patties, okay?"
We all went into action. While I had two pans going, Delta turned on the oven to warm up and took the top off the center of the big stove. Under it was a big grille that we could use for the pancakes. Cecile came over with a large cookie sheet full of biscuits ready to bake and put them into the oven.
Delta poured pancakes out while I was pulling bacon out of the pan and putting more in.
Dan and George came in the door with some bags. They set their stuff on the counter then rummaged around getting stalks of celery out. Dan washed it then cut it into long lengths. George was putting cubed ice into a big ice bucket then poured giant cans of V-8 into what looked like a clear plastic bucket. Then he put Worcestershire sauce and Tobasco sauce into it and finally stirred in a large bottle of vodka. Ah, bloody Mary's.
The front door bell rang and Dan went to let my family in. When they all came into the kitchen, George gave my Mom and Dad each a tall glass with the mix and a celery stalk in it. Cecile asked how everyone wanted his or her eggs. Mom suggested scrambling a bunch, that way it could keep everyone happy. While Cecile started that, Carol used the sausage grease plus a little of the bacon grease and made milk gravy. My sisters asked where the stuff was to set the table and were shown by Delta. Trish and I started carrying in plates and bowls of food completely filling the table. This was very nice.
While we ate breakfast Dan was telling my folks about us playing a Jazz arrangement that had been in one my of guitar cases. He said he couldn't believe how good it sounded. Dad just smiled as he was used to his kids making music. He tried to explain.
"It wasn't till just a couple of years ago that we got electricity out where we live. Before that we were in the dark ages as the kids used to say. We used gas motors for the water pump and bottled gas for the milk cooler. We were lucky because we had running water in the house including hot water, just no power for lights, or TV. We had a battery-operated radio that Chuck figured out how to make it run off a car battery that he would keep charged by the water pump motor. So we always had radio music and ball games.
"But for entertainment, Jessie, taught the kids how to play music. She always taught them how to play piano first then she taught them to play the guitar. I taught Gin, or Virginia the oldest girl to play the violin and now Christine is learning. The other boys aren't into music much but both can play the piano and a little guitar. They like to listen though and are always ready to sit down to listen to the family play. When we finally got the power turned on, we were ready. We already had a TV and a big refrigerator and a freezer along with lights all over the house. Like I said, we were ready.
"Chuck here had gone an extra step. He had saved up and bought a stereo from Western Auto. I didn't know it but he already had stacks and stacks of records. He got most of them from a guy in town that services jukeboxes. Some of the big album records he had were jazz. I didn't even know he liked Jazz. I knew he liked rock and roll, country, and classical but I didn't know he liked Jazz. So all of a sudden we were listening to George Shearing, Dave Brubeck, Charlie Parker and just about any of the big names that had recorded. Next thing you know, Chuck is trying to get his sisters into jazz and getting them to play combos with him. That's what got him started arranging music. He even had some jazz for the violin."
"That's what he had last night. He had music for the violin that Delta played. His arrangement was really a jazz rendition of Summertime." Dan said.
"I haven't seen that one yet but I'd like to. We'll have to do that later." Dad Said.
Sissy spoke up, "Chuck, I brought that bunch of folders you had of all your music. I even brought you your two fake books so if you get some jobs playing, you have the music."
"You brought all of it? There was a whole file drawer full of stuff." I said.
"No just the stuff you have written. I didn't bring all the printed sheet music you had." Sissy said.
I turned to Dan and said, "You're going to like some of this stuff. Some is pretty good."
"I can't wait to here it." Dan said.
"Hey, how about I take you guys out to the University and show you around and show you my dorm room. I'll pick up my music folder from my room so I'll have all my music together. How about it?" I said.
The girls were instantly interested in seeing the school and where I lived. Mom and Dad were as interested but were not all that interested in the walking around in the cold.
"It looks like it's going to be about fifty degrees so that shouldn't be too cold for you guys. Come on Mom. I want you and Dad to see my school." I begged.
I took my family to see the school. I showed them the student union, the chemistry building, my cafeteria and then the dorm. I asked for permission to take my family up to my room and got it of course. I then showed them the small room with the split bunk beds with the study table between them. I had some pictures of the whole family on a bulletin board over my bed along with some bigger posters of Florida. Mom was surprised how clean and neat it was. She commented that she guessed she had taught me well, to see my room kept so nice. I didn't tell her that I had cleaned it up especially for her and that I had a very anal neat freak roommate.
The rest of the weekend was full of food, laughter and music. Dan and George kept inviting more and more folks over to listen to all of us. I was able to play my bass to accompany everyone. It was nice to have the solid bass line, as some music really needs it. Especially if you don't have drums.
Saturday, Delta, Trish and I sneaked out so I could do some Christmas shopping. I still had money from summer so I had plenty to buy something special for everyone. I already had some special stuff for Delta and Trish.
Sunday, Christmas morning I went over to the house where the folks were staying and said we were all to go Trish's house to open presents. We went out for an early breakfast then went to Trish's big home.
The place was decorated very nicely with a big tree. Under the tree and around it were piles of gifts. There were so many that it looked like a dump truck backed up and dumped a load. Mom and Dad had another huge load to add to the pile. George served everyone eggnog and conned all the females to get under the mistletoe with him.
Trish, Delta and Sally sorted and handed out gifts. When they were done everyone had a big pile in front of them. I had never seen so many gifts.
When we were finished opening all the gifts and thanking each other for all the neat stuff there was a huge pile of gift-wrap that we took out to the alley to burn.
While I was watching the fire, dad came out to stand with me for a few seconds. "Here Son, take this and put it away. I've had the best year ever on the farm. A lot of it was because of the way you set up our crop rotation and the stock you chose for us. This is not payment, it's just appreciation."
I looked at the wad dad gave me and could only see a single dollar bill. When I flipped it up there were several hundreds under it. "Dad I can't take this. Just a little over a year ago we had to scrape to buy a bus ticket for me to get here. You can't take this from the family."
"Listen son," My dad related, "when we had such a good year, I took most of the extra money and bought a bunch of land over near Lake Wales. Just as soon as I did, some guy wanted to buy a lot of it for a sub-division. He says he can get around ten thousand a house and was planning on building a couple of hundred of them. For the amount he offered, I couldn't refuse and I more than doubled my money. You know why I bought that land in the first place? You told me that Lake Wales was going to grow on the East and South side. Not the West End or the North but the East and South. So now I've bought up all I can on the South side of town. If you're half right about what you predicted we are already rolling in dough. If you're right about both directions, my goodness son, your mom and I can probably just sell the farm and live the life of luxury for the rest of our lives. So take that cash, put it in a bank and use it when you need it. You trying to go out with two girls at once is probably costing you a fortune, so just enjoy it."
Now this was a surprise. My dad didn't waste money and didn't just give away money so I knew he was being truthful about his land deal and the farm profits. I stuffed it in my pocket and gave him a hug. "Thanks Dad."
The girls were excited about the neat ankle bracelets I got them. I had read in my roommates Playboy that a great gift for girls this year would be a sexy ankle bracelet. Only one of the jewelry stores had them and what was neat was that they had a variety. They were happy that I was buying a couple as they said I was the first to ask about them. They had cheaper ones with little nametags on them so I got one each for my four sisters too. They gave me a big discount for my business. The girls were equally as excited as Delta and Trish. I also got them each a sweater and each a really neat knitted scarf. I got my dad a new wallet that I knew he needed and I got my mom a blouse and some costume jewelry she loved. I got lots of stuff, mostly clothes but I did get a kit of all kinds of guitar picks from each of my family.
My mom cornered me in the kitchen at Trish's house while everyone else was over at Delta's. We sat at the table and had some coffee. She talked to me about trying to date two girls at once and even said she understood that they were very close friends. I said that we were not that serious because they were seniors and I was just a sophomore. She said that she had heard different from their moms and that the two of them were really tight and had begun planning how we three were going to stay together after school.
I didn't even think they had been planning that far ahead.
Mom then brought out a wad of cash saying she had put this aside for me because the farm had done so well.
"Mom, I can't take any more. Dad gave me some money already. Save this for the kids. They'll need it." I said.
Mom's mouth tightened into that straight line of determination and firmly stated, "I don't care what your dad gave you. This is for you. You've never asked for much and have always earned your way. Take it, enjoy it, put it in the bank and save it but you'll have it if you need it." And thrust it into my hand.
"Now you've got to promise me that if you need anything, you'll call me," mom continued. "I know that things cost a lot when you're away from home so just ask and we'll send it to you. We have more now than we've ever had and seems as if more money comes in every week so don't worry about your sisters and brothers, just call when you need more. Your dad wants to get you a car while he's up here. You have to tell him whether you want a car or not. That's up to you. I just wanted to tell you what he's thinking."
A car? My dad actually wanted to buy me a car? My Dad's not a cheapskate, but I don't think he's ever spent six cents for something he could get for a nickel some place else. That he would actually spend the money to buy me a car was pretty far out of the ordinary for him. Now I had to decide if I wanted to have a car up here at school.
And just like the snap of the fingers, they were gone.
