Harold Wilson's wife had left early to work out at her father's country club. Harold, himself, was not looking forward to a meeting this morning with the mother of Merry Dunsmore, one of his most challenging students. Harold was in his mid thirties, with thinning hair that he vainly tried to comb over. Later that morning, Elisa Dunsmore visited the school office. Elisa told the office secretary, "I'm here for my IEP conference with Mr. Wilson." The IEP was the state required Individual Education Plan, for all students deemed "special". Part of the process was a required parent teacher conference. Elisa was in her mid thirties, tall and slightly over weight, but she retained an obvious female figure. Grey streaks ran through in her long brown hair, which she often tied back with a rubber band or clip. She met with Harold in his fifth grade classroom. On the classroom walls, she noticed several of Merry's drawings and sketches. Harold said, "Elisa, I just want to review with you some of Merry's progress over the year with regards to the No Child Left Behind policy. As you know, we frequently conduct state required tests to monitor the class's work, and Merry has frequently deviated from the norm." Elisa commented, "Maybe the problem is with the norm." Harold replied, "It's not that. It's with Merry's inconsistency. Look, on one test she got 100 %, and on another test, on the same subject, she got a zero. On a five item multiple-choice test, a zero is mathematically impossible. If she just guessed, she'd get 20% right. How are we going to meet our No Child Left Behind standards it she does that? She is in real danger of being Left Behind." Elisa wondered, "Left Behind. Isn't that the name of some Christian cult?" Harold answered, "Yes, I think it is. They believe that Jesus will fly a UFO and abduct them into space using some sort of transporter beam. Everyone not transported will be left behind." Elisa pulled out her cell phone and said, trying to sound like Scotty from Star Trek, "Jesus, we have two to beam up." Harold frowned and said, "It's really not polite to make fun of someone else's religion." Elisa added, "In my more cynical moments, I wonder if calling the act "No Child Left Behind," is a ploy to encourage parents to pull kids out of public schools to enroll them in fundamentalist Christian schools. That way the Christian kids would not be left behind by Jesus and his UFO." Harold said, "Seriously, the school gets funds based on the performance of children on these tests. I take them very seriously myself. Do you have any idea why Merry is so inconsistent?" Harold did not mention that his evaluation from the principal depended on the number of students who exceeded on these tests. Elisa said, "Maybe she doesn't take these tests as seriously as you do." Harold asked, "But how could she get a zero? The surprising part is that Merry seems like a bright student. She reads well and does exceedingly well in art. In fact, she is one of the best artists in the school. She even does well in phys ed. " Elisa commented, "Maybe she knows the right answers, but does not want to put them down. That way she gets a zero. I'll talk to Merry to see what we can do." Elisa talked to Merry about the conference over dinner that evening. Elisa said, "Mr. Wilson said you are not taking the tests seriously. Don't you like school?" "No. School is boring. Nothing happens." "You used to like Mr. Wilson. He likes you." "Yeah, but that was months ago. Since then, all he does is yammer on about doing well on these damn tests. He all but gives us the answers, and then he expects us to give them back. How can I take school seriously if he doesn't?" "I'll talk to Mr. Wilson again, to see if we can't arrange something." Elisa offered to meet with Mr. Wilson after school. Elisa said to him, "Harold, I have bad news. Merry does not like school and she does not like you. She says you teach to the test. Perhaps you take the tests too seriously. Maybe Merry needs something extra. Perhaps you could give her some extra assignments. If you made school less boring, perhaps we could convince her to do better on the tests." "Do you think we could get Merry to agree to such a deal?" "Yes, if we can convince her that you like her." Harold was intrigued by Elisa's suggestion. He was also intrigued by her. Very few parents would fight for their kids that way, but she did in a way that did not challenge him or put him on the defensive. He finally replied, "It's worth the effort, even though it would be more work for me." He looked at his watch. He added, "It's getting late. I'd love to talk about this some more, but I have to go home, now. Perhaps some other time?" "When?" "I don't know. Maybe after work." "I'm free most evenings. All I have to do is arrange for someone to be with Merry." "How about meeting me for a drink next Friday?" "Fine. You got it." Elisa entered the appointment in her book. Harold and Elisa met at a local grill. He asked, "Where's Merry?" "She's at a girl friend's. I told her I'd pick her up later." "Does she know you're with me?" "I thought it better not to tell her that. She's used to me going out occasionally. The only requirement is that I'm there when she wakes up in the morning." They ordered wine and dinner. Elisa instructed the server, "Separate checks, please." Harold asked, "I know you're not married. Is it hard raising a girl alone?" "Today, it's hard raising a kid anyway. It's hard, but I wouldn't have it any other way. She's the light of my life." "Would you want to get married eventually?" "I don't know. It's hard enough raising a kid. I'm not sure I want to raise a husband too." "Do you date at all?" "Yes, I like a social life, but there is no one serious. I like my life and independence now." "What do you do professionally?" "I'm a medical social worker. I work for a women's support agency. We deal with abuse, pregnancy, abortion, things like that." "It must be hard work." "It is. Probably almost as hard as teaching fifth grade. Half the girls I meet would have benefited from a better fifth grade teacher." "Not many parents appreciate what we do. They think we don't work hard enough because we have evenings and summers free. They don't understand that we grade homework and prepare lessons. By the week-end, we are exhausted." "I see you are wearing a ring. Does your wife help you out?" "We might be separating." "I'm sorry to hear that." "She wanted a husband who would make more money. A fifth grade teacher didn't have enough prestige for her. Her father offered me a job working at his business. I'm going to have to chose between my wife and my job." "That's too bad. I know some counselors who might be able to help sort things out." "Do you get any support from Merry's father." "I don't even know who her father is. She is a product of my wild and crazy period of sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll. I guess she was the result a misplaced diaphragm. After I conceived her, I cleaned up my act and got a degree. Politically, based on my job, I'm pro-choice, but I'm glad I chose to have her." Their conversation continued about their jobs, school and Merry. When they were about to leave, he said, "I really enjoyed talking to you. You seem to understand me. Maybe we could get together again sometime." "Harold, are you asking me on a real date?" "I don't know. Legally, I'm still married. I guess so." "When you decide, here's my card and cell phone number. Don't call me at home." She gave Harold a sweet kiss. He stood there passively, not knowing what to do next. She went to her car and drove home. Over the next few weeks, Elisa tried to convince Merry to take the tests more seriously. Harold kept his end of the bargain to give Merry more interesting assignments. Over time, Merry consistently scored some of the highest grades on the tests. For the rest of the school year, Elisa and Harold confined their communications to contacts about Merry. When Merry was about to graduate from elementary school, Harold gave her very good grades and said positive things about her. She was no longer in danger of being Left Behind. Therefore, Elisa was surprised when she received a message from him on her cell phone. He said, "I have to talk to you again. Can we meet at that grill where we talked during the year?" "Sure. What's up? Is it about Merry?' "No. It's about me." When they met, she was surprised by how down he looked. His face had lost all its color. When they sat down, she asked, "You don't look yourself. What's wrong?" "My wife and I are getting a divorce. I'm moving out as soon as the school year ends." "Did she think you did not make enough money?' "Worse. She had an affair with a man she met at her father's country club. Now she's pregnant with his baby." "Oh. How horrible. You must feel terrible." He almost started to cry. "I do. But I should have seen it coming. I'm not ambitious enough for her. Eventually, even our love life suffered." "I wish there was something I could do to help you." "Just listening to me is help enough." Harold talked about his marriage, with its ups and downs, and how it finally crashed. He said, "I almost envy you for not getting married." Harold began calling Elisa over the summer. He took her to concerts and the movies. However, Elisa did not feel comfortable in mentioning this to Merry. Every date ended with a passionate kiss, but nothing more. After one such evening, Harold said, "I moved out of our house. I'm now living in a suite hotel until we can sell the house and I can use my share of the money to buy a condo." "You should be able to pressure your ex to provide a generous settlement, if she needs to be divorced before the baby comes." "Yes. I just hope I can settle this thing before the school year resumes." "Where are you staying?" "At the Home Suites." "I've never seen those suites. I hear they are nice. I have time, since Merry is staying at a friend's house tonight." Elisa had made arrangements for Merry several days before her date. She even bought a package of condoms, in case she got lucky. The suite consisted of a large room, with kitchen facilities, and a queen sized bed in an alcove off to the side. The tour was very brief. Harold said, "I can't offer you much to drink, since I just moved in. How about some white wine?" "That would be lovely." They sat on a couch in the living area, as Harold told her about moving into the hotel. Finally she said, "Harold, enough talk. There is something I want to do." "What is that?" " I like you very much. I want to touch you." She reached down to his trousers, and undid his belt. She then opened his fly until she could extract his penis. She rubbed it gently, and then leaned over to kiss it. Both of them were surprised at how rapidly it responded to her touch. He played with her hair, and tried to pull up her polo shirt. When his marriage was falling apart, Harold had repressed his sexuality. At first, Elisa just wanted to give him pleasure, so he would feel good about himself as a man. But she wondered it she could get some pleasure, too. She had not been with a man for quite a while, and she missed it. She asked, "Don't you think we should move to the bed?" When he stood up, she pulled his slacks and shorts to the floor. He untied his shoes, and lifted his polo shirt, leaving him naked. She then pulled off her own polo, shoes and slacks. They embraced next to his bed. He tried to unhook her bra, but she had to help him. They lay on the bed, kissing and touching. He lavished ample attention on her breasts, while she returned the favor over his entire body. She gave his erection special treatment. Finally she said, "Let me put a condom on that big boy, so we can use it as nature intended." She pulled a condom out of her purse, and stretched it over his hard penis. She then pulled off her panties, and lay next to him on the bed. He fondled her vagina for several minutes, getting her wet and excited. She then knelt over him, letting her body get impaled on his manhood. She moaned, "Oh, you feel wonderful inside me." She used her knees and hips to bounce over him. Each movement increased her excitement. He reached to feel and pinch her breasts while she moved over him. Soon she was wailing as pleasurable convulsions coursed through her body. She calmed down slightly, but maintained her contact on top of him, until she climbed the erotic mountain again. His erection provided a powerful stimulant to keep her going. Finally, he said, breathlessly, "I want to finish on top of you." She fell onto her back, letting him enter. He resumed thrusting, harder than before. She grabbed him tight, until she was hit by another orgasm. He grunted, "I'm there!" He poured torrents of his body into her, filling her with his pleasure. When he relaxed, he said, "I just have to take care of this condom." When he returned from the bathroom, she was under the blanket. He climbed into the bed. They gently kissed and fondled each other. He said, "That was wonderful." "Yes, You were great, too." After several minutes, he said, " I can't remember when I had such a wonderful time in bed. Maybe during my honeymoon with my ex, but not since. I think I'm falling in love with you." "What? You can't do that after one evening. A delightful date is a delightful date. It is what it is. Nothing more." "Nothing more? You don't feel something special?" "Of course I like you. I wouldn't have gone to bed with you if I didn't. I guess I was wrong to trust the emotions of a man still rebounding from a messy divorce." Harold seemed disappointed. He removed his arms around her and rolled over to his side of the bed. She added, "I'm sorry I hurt your feelings. I shouldn't have seduced you. I thought it would be nice for both of us. In a way, I was right, but in a way I was wrong." She got out of bed. "I better go home. I'll just call a taxi." "No, I'll drive you. I don't want this evening to end on a down note." "Thank you." They got out of bed and dressed. When he took her home, she said, "Thank you for a delightful evening. We should do it again sometime. But I don't want to fall in love or get married. My first priority is still Merry." They continued to see each other during the summer. Finally, when Merry was safely ensconced in the middle school, Elisa had Harold meet her and Merry for dinner. Elisa never spent the night with Harold if Merry was home. Thanks to her, he gradually felt better about himself. He wanted to continue their relationship, but Elisa felt it would compromise her relations with her daughter. Merry would not be left behind. <1st attachment end> ----- ASSM Moderation System Notice------ Notice: This post has been modified from its original format.
