 Day 18 (Thursday 10th June)

   We all got up and had our breakfast and were finished by 9, I had to
rush out and find an outfitters on Byers Road, I had forgotten about a
black tie.  Both Ellen and Libby had suitable outfits and I had a business
suit and a light blue shirt (I don't like white shirts), I found a suitable
tie and returned and we all went into the lounge to wait on the hearse and
the cars, the car to pick up Archie's sisters family would bring them here
after the hearse arrived, the only service was taking place in the
crematorium, Ellen wanted to say a few words for Archie, Libby didn't so
she wasn't forced, we didn't know if Archie's sister wanted to say anything
but Ellen wouldn't object.  The hearse arrived on time along with the car
for us, a few minutes later the other car arrived and they got out, they
all spoke quietly to Ellen and Libby and Ellen introduced me as a friend
who was helping her through this difficult time, Her name was Agnes, his
was Ron and their children were Ron (junior), Anne and Senga, they looked
me up and down, I just kept back.  We all got back into the cars and they
drove down Byers Road, then along Dumbarton Road past Archie's old shop and
then headed for the crematorium.  Archie's cask was removed from the hearse
and taken into the chapel and a short service was carried out, Ellen spoke
a few words in praise of the short time they had been together, nothing was
said regarding the way he died.  His sister rose and said a few words about
how she loved him and his family would miss him and she then started to
warble on about the fact that his family weren't satisfied about the
investigation into his death, but would pursue it in his name.  That was
it, he was rolled through the curtains and we all stood while the piped
music covered the workings of the crematorium then we walked slowly out
into the sunshine.  I walked up to Agnes and Ron and explained that I had
arranged for us to go to Archie's local pub for a sandwiches, savouries and
drinks.  Agnes said "Is that all, I would have thought there would have
been more in the coffers and to get a proper meal in a restaurant or
hotel?" "I think you had better discuss that with Ellen after all Archie
was her husband and she has to think what's best for her and Libby now" She
obviously couldn't think of an answer to me so we all climbed into the
provided cars and I had previously instructed their driver to follow ours,
I went and spoke to our driver and told him where we were going, he didn't
have a problem and we set off, I told Ellen what Agnes had said to me, she
didn't seem surprised, she said "Their not getting anything from us, they
weren't very interested when he was alive so that's it" We arrived at the
pub, I got out and went into the pub and spoke to a guy behind the bar, he
said that we would access the lounge from this bar, I thought that was okay
and went back outside and got hold of the drivers and gave them tips, they
objected but didn't give it back.  I then said to everybody that they were
to follow me and I led them into the pub and then into the small lounge,
there were a couple of tables laid out with various sandwiches and
savouries and small cakes and pots of tea and coffee, I turned to Agnes and
Ron and asked them if their children were old enough to drink, then when I
got a nod I asked what everyone wanted to drink, I got a list in my head
and went and ordered them, Ellen had said she and Libby would just have
coffee, the barman helped me bring in the drinks and left us to it.  The
three children seemed to be fighting over the sandwiches, I wondered about
their parents.  Agnes and Ron ignored them and spoke to Ellen after they
got their drinks, they were talking about Archie's suicide, Ron said
"There's something funny going on here" Agnes nodded her head and actually
prodded Ellen in the chest and said "You know all about it.  Why did Archie
do it?  He had a good going business, he had no reason, it had to be
something you did that caused him to do that, what was it?" Her voice was
rising as she was talking and she seemed to be angry with Ellen, I moved
Ellen to one side, I could see she was getting very upset by this onslaught
by Agnes, I said "This isn't the time or place to start recriminations if
you want more answers to your questions I suggest you ask Partick police, I
think Ellen has had enough of your questions" Ron stepped in and said
angrily "Who the hell do you think you are talking to us like that?  And
who are you anyway?" He prodded me in the chest and I said "In answer to
the first question, I am a friend of Ellen and Libbies and have been before
Archie topped himself and in answer to your second question, I am the guy
who is going to stand up for her and Libby, (I prodded his chest, hard) do
you have an objection to that?  Also, if you stick you're finger on me
again or anywhere near Ellen or Libby I will break it off and stick it
where the sun never shines" He suddenly backed away from me and I added "I
think you should all leave, you didn't come here to mourn the passing of
Archie, you came to see what you could get and I for one know you are not
going to get anything, that's what you deserve, nothing.  Now are you
leaving or do you want me to throw you out?" Agnes looked angry but Ron
grabbed her and shouted at his brood "Let's go, we'll get answers from the
police then you won't be able to stop us getting what's rightfully ours"
"GET OUT" I shouted.  They moved out quickly, I turned to Ellen and Libby
and said "I'm sorry I couldn't stand by and let them do that to you" Ellen
came over and hugged me, Libby came too, I hugged them both and said "Let's
get out of here, I have to pay the landlord first then we can go home" I
went out to the bar and asked the landlord how much I owed, he rang up a
receipt and I gave him what he had asked for and a touch more, he thanked
me and I went back and got the girls and we walked out into the street,
thankfully there was no sign of the others.  We walked back towards home, I
took them into a small cafe on Byers Road and we had some ice cream, we
didn't talk much.  We arrived back home around 2pm and the first thing we
did was to get changed out of the sombre clothes we were wearing and met
back in the lounge, one either side of me on the couch.  Libby spoke up
first "I am so pleased that fiasco is over, let me tell you something
daddy, from the time mum and Archie came home from their `honeymoon' in
Edinburgh neither Agnes nor Ron or any of their children spoke to us or
even phoned us, this morning is the first time I have seen them since then,
that's how close a family they were" "They are going to get a shock when
they ask the police about Archie.  I think we have seen the last of them,
now you can start getting on with the rest of your lives.  Come over here
my darlings I want kisses" They both scrambled onto my knees and leaned on
me, both with a head on my shoulder, I held onto them and squeezed them
tightly, I said "We are one" Ellen looked at me with watery eyes and I said
"Don't you dare cry" I giggled, she hugged me tighter and I said "I love
both of you with all my heart and will do all in my power to keep you safe
and loved and I know this probably isn't the right day to mention it but I
am going to marry you Ellen and I want to ask Libby if she would like me to
adopt her" Libby almost shouted "Mum, did you hear what daddy just said? 
He wants' me to be his real daughter, is it alright if I say `YES'?  I feel
as if you have proposed to me and are marrying me as well" "Ken asked me if
I objected and I said `of course not' so I think when Ken marries me, you
should have a matching outfit to me, how does that sound?" "OH God, yes, I
would love that" "Looks to me like you both have this already planned,
darlings" Ellen said "You only have to turn up with a Best Man and a ring.
We will sort the rest out" Libby spoke up "I was almost there for mum's
1st, I wish I hadn't been for her 2nd, but for this one I am going to be
like a second bride at the wedding" I said with joy in my heart "So that's
it then, we are going to be a family, I would like it to happen on Friday
15th October if that's not too soon" Ellen said "Why that particular day?"
I answered "I want you both as my birthday presents, that's why" Ellen said
then "That is what you will have my dearest.  We are going to be the
biggest and best presents you will ever get" I got hugged and kissed and
then Libby got up and said "Can I go and see Charley?  You don't mind do
you?" We chorused "Go" So she went.  We continued to sit where we were just
cuddling for about ten minutes then the doorbell rang out, Ellen got up
first as she was sitting on me and she went to the front door, I heard her
talking to someone and then she entered the lounge holding onto Stella's
hand, I stood up and Stella said "I have been dusting off my collection of
jazz records this morning" I went over to her and drew her into my arms and
kissed her, I opened my mouth and stuck my tongue between her lips and got
her to open her mouth so I could explore, she put her arms up and really
got into it and as I started to grind my hips she drew away from me panting
and looking into my eyes, she said "You are not going to let up are you? 
What have I let myself in for?  You are insatiable Ken" I said "Come in
Stella and sit down, we were discussing our wedding before you came in and
then you arrive, telling us your good news and you made me horny, can't
help myself" Stella said to Ellen "Is this true, Ellen?  Were you
discussing your wedding?  (She turned to me) Then you did that to me Ken,
my word, what have I agreed to?" She laughed and got a hug from Ellen and
Ellen said "We are both pleased you agreed" I said "Now a drink to
celebrate, wine ladies or would you like something stronger?" They opted
for wine so I went and opened a bottle and grabbed 3 glasses, went back
into the lounge and poured them, we clinked glasses and had a drink. 
Stella said "I don't know if you have got dinner on the go or if it's
something you were going to go out for, but I have made a dinner that is
too much for both of us hoping you would accept an offer from me, I haven't
had many reasons to entertain or show off my cooking skills, would you
please join us for dinner?" "I'll just go and change into my `Tux', I'll
not be long" I turned as if I was going to leave and Stella quickly grabbed
my shoulder "You don't have to" I turned back with a big grin on my face
"So it's informal then?" I laughed and then the girls just joined in. 
Stella said "You have a wicked sense of humour Ken, but I'll get used to
it" We put our glasses down and Stella led us out, I went into the kitchen
grabbed a couple of bottles then headed out, I locked the door and we
walked the short distance and entered Stella's home.  She led us into the
dining room, it was laid as if royalty were coming, she said "The girls
helped me, Libby said you would come, I relied on her, she told us what you
want to do, you are such a good man, you have such a big heart.  She also
told us how you kicked all those people out of pub this morning.  I would
have liked to see that.  Everything's ready, they will help me if you will
carve Ken" She left me and Ellen in the dining room and I found a cork
screw on a sideboard and opened both bottles and put them on the table, I
looked in the cupboard and found glasses and put them on the table.  Then
the meal begun to arrive, Stella saw the wine and glasses and thanked me,
Charley came into the room with a big plate with a joint of beef on her
lap, I lifted it off and onto the table for her and they all sat down, I
carved, I don't know what part of beef it was but it carved beautifully
just like the one Ellen served, we all got plenty on our plates and enjoyed
our meal I said at the end "Compliments to the chef, I haven't tasted a
better meal, Scotland certainly breeds good cooks, I'm going to marry one
and live next door to another, WOW" We looked in the room that Charley
called her bedroom it was too big really, there was a bed in it but didn't
look big enough and the lounge furniture was just pushed into a corner of
the room, I sat on her bed and said to Charley "Will you mind moving out of
this big room into a proper but smaller bedroom upstairs?" She wheeled
herself over and got in front of me and said "I am going to love having a
proper bedroom, like Libbies and a proper bed as well, my feet stick out
the end of this one, you do know that if you were a woman you would be a
Fairy Godmother, you're not so you must be a wizard because you make magic
things happen, I have always dreamed that a knight in shining armour would
come and rescue me, but I didn't need rescuing I just needed magic and then
you appeared, I knew good things were going to happen when you came and
asked me to Libbies party and you already knew I was in this thing.  My mum
has been rescued, I saw your dance next door last night and I knew what was
happening, you have made my mum into another happier woman, she put more
makeup than she usually does this morning, please be good for her" I sat
there stunned at the insight this girl had for her mother and me.  I looked
at Ellen, Stella and Libby, they were all standing there with tears in
their eyes, I didn't know what to say, I did say "Well it looks like I got
a golden seal of approval" I giggled then laughed.  Stella said "Ken I know
you like jazz, but who's jazz?  When it's on the radio it's good but it's
not strictly your choice, so who?" I answered her "My favourites are
probably people you've never heard of, Barney Kessel and another guy called
Theolonius Monk, even some modern stuff" She said "Come with me Ken, you
had better come as well Ellen, I'm going to take Ken into my bedroom we
will need a chaperone" Ellen laughed and said "Stella you can take Ken into
your bedroom anytime, you don't need me" Stella said "Maybe not, but I'd
still like you to come, I want you to see something" We walked upstairs and
into the master bedroom, it was laid out like a bed-sit, with a bed against
one wall and a leather suite in the middle and a separates music centre
complete with a turntable on another wall.  There was a big collection of
records and cd's, I went over to look through it, I said "My goodness this
is all jazz and most of it stuff I was brought up on, my Mum and Dad used
to dance in their house to all these, that's how I learned to dance, oh not
the raunchy stuff but my parents were good dancers and taught me how"
Stella said "I listened to all of that for years, I listened to some of it
again last night, it now sounds different now but its the same music, why
is that?" "You now feel the music the way it was supposed to be, inside
you're head and you're heart, now you start living and loving it, you just
didn't have the right person to interpret it with before" Ellen said "I
feel the music through Ken, I didn't even like jazz before I listened to it
with him, if I hear jazz played even in a shop now I start to get damp, you
know what I mean Stella?" She said "I need more practice" I answered "Put
on `Black Magic Woman' any version" She walked to the music centre, picked
out a cd put it in and started it, I walked up behind her and put my arms
on her shoulders, she tried to turn round but I stopped her, I pulled her
back against me, then I motioned for Ellen to come over, I stepped aside
quickly and Ellen stepped in, she dropped her hands to Stella's waist and
they were both swaying to the music occasionally touching, but both feeling
the music, then Stella turned and saw Ellen and almost stopped, they both
still swayed to the music, Ellen put her head on Stella's shoulder and I
moved in to the side of them and put an arm on each of their hips and
caressed both, the cd came to an end and we broke away from one another, I
said "To have you both in my arms appreciating the music was truly awesome,
you are both my Black Magic Women" Stella said "I have never danced with
another woman like that, I found it very sensual" Ellen said she fully
agreed with Stella and added "Does that make me a lesbian?" I said "No but
you now know you enjoy the company each other without inhibitions, are you
both okay with that?" I got nods from both of them, Stella said "I am at an
age when I am supposed to be staid and upright and you two are leading me
into a life of debauchery and I love it" She laughed and giggled and we
joined in.  Libby knocked on the door and because it was ajar she walked in
"What's going on in here, did I interrupt something?  Did I miss something
interesting?  You all look a little flushed as if you've been running, I
heard music, well jazz really, you have been doing your special dance
haven't you?  I would like to learn how to do that" I said "Okay, my
dearest, just not right now, we were just discussing the merits of jazz"
"Yeh and my head buttons up the back" She giggled and walked out we
followed and all went back downstairs, just before we got to the bottom I
heard Libby say to Charley "We were right, they were all dancing this time,
I just missed catching them" I said "I think its time we made tracks for
next door, we are going to be busy tomorrow and the surveyor woman is
coming to see what's wanted here in our homes, I must say first a big thank
you for the hospitality this evening, I enjoyed the meal and your company
immensely" Ellen and Libby said more or less the same and we went out their
front door and into ours.  I was just coming up to 9pm so we all went into
the lounge and sat on the couch, I turned on the tellie to see if all was
well in the world, all there was `Doom and Gloom', terrorists being tried
and convicted, knife murders happening rapes and kidnappings, I asked the
two of them if they wanted to watch the news and got a resounding "No" from
both of them, Libby got up and switched on the radio and sat down again,
she snuggled down under my arm and said "Can I ask you a delicate
question?" I said "You can ask me any question you want, if I don't know
the answer I'll search until I do, I'll never hide anything from you,
okay?" "Well it's about what you are going to do for or with me, I was
talking to Charley and she said she has never had a `birds and bees' talk
and she was opted out of sex lessons at school, she cried tonight when we
were talking about you and Stella dancing and what it meant.  She asked me
what I knew and I asked her if she touched herself, she didn't even know
what I was talking about, I feel so sorry for her, I love her as a friend,
I want to do something for her, do you think I am turning into a lesbian?
How can I help her?  Help me, please" I turned to her and said "This is
going to be awkward, I personally can't help her because that could be
construed to be abuse but you can as a friend, maybe when we get the lifts
in she could stay an overnight, not in the spare bedroom if you know what I
mean?  You know a mini party for just you two, I'm sure you could come up
with a reason Libby, maybe just to celebrate the lifts and then you can say
you are going to give her a demonstration about how to feel good.  Get a
mirror and show her all her bits.  Then take it from there" Ellen said "My
God, I'm glad you are my teacher Ken" Libby agreed with her, she added "Can
I get another lesson tonight?" Ellen said "You had better get ready for
bed, Ken will come up and say goodnight to you, okay?" She hugged her num
and gave her a kiss and said goodnight to Ellen and left to go upstairs,
Ellen said "There surely isn't very much more you can teach her without
penetration and I know you are reluctant to do that" "Well I will teach her
about herself and how she can help Charley, Libby hasn't got a hymen, she
probably lost it during gymnastics, that's not a problem, it means she
won't be hurt on her first intercourse, to have her `cherry' violently
taken is pretty traumatic and is the reason that a lot of people only have
sex to make babies, not to enjoy it, okay I'll go up now, be warned I'm
going to ravish you tonight, be ready my darling" I gave her such a kiss
she blushed and giggled "I don't mind her getting you going as long as it's
me that finishes up with you" I went upstairs, I went into our bathroom
first and picked up the double sided shaving/makeup mirror, I got undressed
but just put my dressing gown on then I went and entered Libbies bedroom,
she had just the bedside lamps on, I turned on the main light, she was
laying on top of the covers with her pj's on and a dressing gown on top
again, she looked at me and said "That's not very romantic to have the big
light on, Daddy" "This is where the proper lessons start" I sat on the edge
of her bed and said "I want you to be totally naked tonight and I will do
the same" I stood up and took off my dressing gown, I was no where near
being hard, then I sat back down on the bed with my legs crossed Indian
fashion in the middle near the bottom facing her pillows, I said "I want
you to do the same as I have but you face me" She took off the night
clothes she had on and got back onto the bed as I had asked and I said
"First and foremost I must tell you, you are beautiful, not only in
features but you have an inner beauty that radiates from you, you take my
breath away" She looked at me and had tears in her eyes and she was
blushing, it seemed to reach her knees, I put a hand out and caressed her
face then ran my hand down under her chin, across her shoulder and down her
arm, I lifted her hand and sucked each finger then kissed the palm of her
hand and laid it down, I said to her "How do you feel, tell me exactly?"
She said quietly "I feel as if my whole body is trembling, my stomach is
fluttering, I don't know what I mean, it's so hard to put into words"
"Libby, now you know what true love feels like" She burst into tears "I am
so happy, I can't think straight but I do know what you said is true" "Okay
now we get to why we are sitting like this instead of me making love to
you" I picked up the mirror and said "Have you ever looked at yourself down
there in a mirror?" "No, I just go by touch" "If you don't know what it
looks like, how can you teach Charley?" I said and continued and put the
mirror on the bed, I lifted one of her knees and put the mirror under her
crotch slightly, she looked down and saw her open slit, I said "I don't
know the correct name for every part of your cunt, pussy or whatever you
want to call it but I want you to know your own body" I pointed down as far
as I could to her anus, I said "There are what are called erogenous zones
on your body and your arsehole is one, some people love what's called anal
sex, but you must be very clean to do that and be very well lubricated,
know your lover very well and he must use a condom for both of your
protection.  Then we move up, you know that that is your vagina and vulva,
that is where, eventually your lover will put his cock or penis, or you may
want to stimulate yourself with a vibrator, the walls of this organ are
very sensitive and any stimulation can give you an orgasm, your lover, he
or she can push their finger in and turn it and curl it up to touch a
certain spot inside you towards you're front and you will go over the top,
this place is called your G-spot, you know where you pee from, you must
never stick anything in that hole, you could easily injure yourself, now if
we were to feel up the very top of your slit there is a little button like
a mini penis and it's generally hidden under what we call it's hood, its
called a clitoris or clit for short, you can stimulate it by rubbing it or
someone licking it and sucking on it, to further stimulate yourself you can
rub it and push your fingers in and out of your vagina, as many fingers as
you feel comfortable with, it will stretch to take what you want, after all
that's where a baby will come out of.  I mentioned erogenous zones earlier,
I touched your fingers and sucked on them, did you like that?  (She nodded)
Well when you are making love to someone you care for you will find that
just about anywhere you touch them or you are touched can become one of
these zones in the right circumstances, I mean if you just licked your
fingers in a cafe because you were getting rid of some ice cream, that
wouldn't turn you on but me doing it tonight was totally different, okay?
(She nodded) Your breasts and nipples are very easily stimulated, some
people just like them touched lightly and others you could feel as if you
are unscrewing them and they would love it, all of the places that you are
ticklish in will feel different when touched during a love session and most
of what I have told you tonight is probably things you already knew but
when you have a lover it's good to tell them what you don't like and if
they are good lovers they won't force you to do something you don't like,
they won't want you turned off, quite the opposite" She sat there a moment
and let things sink in, I could feel the questions rising, she asked first
"You mentioned anal sex, I've seen you hard, I can't imagine it going into
me" I said that is something you either do or don't like, there's no half
measures, that area must be well lubricated, not just with the man's precum
but with any kind of oil, scented is nice even flavoured, you have to
imagine yourself pushing a big turd out but exactly the opposite is
happening" She said it didn't sound like much fun and then she said "Going
back to you being hard, can I see yours?  I want to touch you, please?" I
leaned back on my hands and my semi hardon sprung up, she put her hand out
and grabbed, I said "Take it easy and be gentle" She eased off and begun
moving her hand up and down and I got harder and precum started leaking out
of the hole in the top, she rubbed her hand across the top of my cock and I
nearly came on the spot, she said "What's that?" I told her it was the
lubricant to help a woman enjoy intercourse, she asked "That's no good if
it's in a condom" "Most condoms have a lubricant on them nowadays" "Oh. 
Are you going to put your c..cock in my p..pussy?" "Not for a while longer,
I want to know you are ready before I do that, I am going to lick you down
there now and bring you off, I think you need it.  Lean back darling" She
let go of me and leaned back onto her pillows, I positioned myself between
her legs and went in for the kill, I licked and lapped and put two then
three fingers into her and put my thumb on her clit and rubbed it, that did
it, she had a massive orgasm, it took her over, I didn't let up until she
begged me to stop, when I lifted my head my face was covered with her
juices, I moved up for a kiss and she licked all of her off me, that was a
real turn on.  She stopped and asked me "Do all women taste the same?" "No,
it depends on their diet, some women like hot curries and some like garlic,
sometimes you can taste the subtle difference, you just taste like sweet
honey" I managed to get up from the bed on shaky legs, put my dressing gown
back on, came round the side of the bed, leaned over and gave her a kiss
complete with my tongue and got up and said "Goodnight darling, pleasant
dreams" I turned towards the door and saw a movement and as I opened the
door, Ellen ran towards our bedroom as naked as the day she was born, I ran
after her, caught her and tickled her and she collapsed at the side of the
bed and she continued to giggle and laugh, she was kneeling at the edge and
leaning on the bed, I lowered myself until I was kneeling as well and came
in behind her, I got between her legs and aimed, my spear penetrated her
and I slammed into her and she screamed, I pulled myself almost out and
pushed back in again, I kept doing that for a long time, it seemed like
forever, me pistoning, she reached under us and felt me going in and out of
her, I felt her fingers and then I reached round her and held onto her
breasts and squeezed and twisted her nipples and then she screamed again
and I came gushing into her, we calmed down somewhat and I said "Consider
yourself ravished woman" I giggled she joined me in the giggling.  I let
myself plop out and she crawled up onto the bed, I crawled up beside her
she said "Oh, I do, I love you ravishing me.  I watched you tonight with
Libby, she knew I was there, she looked towards the door a couple of times,
I wish you had been my teacher, she is so lucky to have you.  I brought
myself off twice while you taught her.  I envy her.  I also envy Charley,
what a wakeup call she's going to get, I wish I could be there then too. 
You've made me so sleepy my darling" She just went to sleep, I don't know
how she goes to sleep so quickly, however I managed to get her under the
covers then I spooned into her and held onto her breasts, she mumbled
something, I don't know what and that's the last thing I remember until
waking.
