80s Daria Chapter 6
By Dr T
Giving? Thanks!
‘Lily’s Lesbian Lovers’ consisted of nine unrelated scenes (other than each featuring Lily) each scene lasting from just over eight minutes to nearly ten, so lasting a bit over 81 minutes in all.
The first scene was a repeat from the film Daria had seen some weeks before – Lily quickly kissing and stripping nude with a much bustier teen, kissing each other from lips to naval but not below, and caressing each other to apparent orgasm. By then, Jane was nuzzling Jennifer’s neck while keeping her eyes on the TV. Both she and Tyler had their hands under their lovers’ t-shirt-covered tummies, and were gently caressing the undersides of their breasts.
The second scene started off in a similar way, but with a slightly older woman with very short black hair and firm pointy-b-cups. After a few minutes of foreplay, however, the brunette started working her way down Lily’s body, bypassing her vulva for a moment to concentrate on her upper and inner thighs, and then moving upwards and inwards.
Soon, Lily was writhing in pleasure. By then, Jane had readjusted herself and Jennifer so that Jennifer was basically between Jane’s legs, with her right knee over Jane’s. Jane was nuzzling the other side of Jennifer’s neck and her left hand was under Jennifer’s shirt, playing with alternate nipples, her right caressing the lower part of Jennifer’s inner thigh. Jennifer’s left hand was stroking Jane’s outer thigh while her right was making slow circles between her waistband and clitoris, not yet ready to commit herself that far…yet.
Tyler’s right hand was under Daria’s shirt as well, playing with her left breast and nipple, while his left was partly up her left thigh, under her loose shorts. Daria’s left hand was over her right breast, copying Tyler’s actions, while her right was imitating Jennifer’s movements. Both couples (Daria the most, Jennifer the least) were well-aware of what the other pair was doing.
The third scene had the same two actresses, except this time the brunette was quickly rubbing her knee and thigh against Lily’s labia while kissing and caressing her. After a while, she shifted from a knee between Lily’s upper thighs to kneeling between them, two fingers deep inside her and thrusting hard and fast while her thumb worked Lily’s clitoris, her other hand kneading Lily’s small breasts in turn. Finally, her lips took the place of her thumb, bringing Lily to an arching orgasm.
Jennifer was watching the video with hooded eyes, her attention more on Jane’s hands – her shirt was now pulled above her exposed breasts and Jane was rubbing them a bit more vigorously. Her other hand was up the leg of her shorts, playing with her outer labia but unable to reach further. Jennifer’s left hand was reaching behind her, not quite reaching Jane’s vulva directly, although the rubbing motion on her shorts was having an effect. Her right hand was rubbing close to the one Jane had under her shorts.
Tyler’s right hand was still playing with Daria’s left breast, but his left hand was down the front of her shorts, exploring around her clitoris. Her left hand was still on her right breast, her right over Tyler’s hand, trying to direct his fingers to stimulate her more directly. Daria and then Jennifer had already removed their tops partway through the scene.
The fourth scene started before anyone noticed. The moans as Lily and a somewhat plain, long-legged flat dirty-blonde woman started scissoring. That caught everyone’s attention. Jane and Jennifer shifted so that they could start fingering each other vigorously, as Tyler did the same for Daria. As the pair climaxed on screen, the three teens did as well.
“Stop the video,” Jennifer panted.
Tyler clicked the remote.
“I think we need to take a break,” Jennifer suggested. “A private break.” She giggled. “Tyler probably needs one the most.”
Daria smirked. “Yeah, I have to agree.”
“Having a hard time there, Tyler?” Jane teased.
“Yep,” he managed to mutter.
Daria got off his lap and looked down and snorted in amusement. Jane stretched her neck, and then Jennifer did as well. Both their eyes went wide, as they could see not only the head of his penis was out the leg of his shorts, also were close to two inches of shaft.
Daria rolled her eyes, and to the shock of the other three, she bent down, kissed the tip, and said, “Come on, lover, let’s take care of that.”
Tyler stood and adjusted his shorts, and followed Daria, for once rolling her hips as she walked, into the bedroom. Jane got up to turn off the lamp and finished stripping, as did Jennifer.
Both couples ignored the other’s noises for the next thirty-five minutes.
Correctly feeling she was the reason Tyler had been (relatively) modest, Jennifer requested he feel free to be as undressed and she and Jane still were. The edge off all four, they cuddled as nude couples throughout the rest of the movie. As the remaining scenes included various toys, all three teens eyes went wide as the variety of dildo and vibrator use, including a double-ended dildo and a strap-on in different scenes. That the toy play included anal as well as vaginal penetration also came as a surprise to Jane and Jennifer.
Daria and Jane were very interested in that, if for different reasons.
While the movie was over soon after 10:00, and the couples had retired by 10:15, no one fell asleep before 11:00.
*
Tyler took the three out for breakfast and then drove up to the music building, although Jane moved on to the art building. The musical trio practiced until 11:30, then Tyler joined Daria to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
After lunch, they met with Patti and Cathy, and drove the nervous pair to Tyler’s. They were still nervous about posing, but when Tyler had them hold (still fully dressed, other than their shoes) the proposed pose, they relaxed a bit. They would be standing three-quarters facing the viewer, holding hands. The hands towards the viewer would be raised to slightly obscure the back portions of their profile, as they would be almost directly facing each other.
The pair did not even have much trouble assuming the positions in their underwear, in part because they took off their outer clothes separately in the studio or bathroom, and in part because their old-fashioned underwear revealed much less than any modern two-piece bathing suit. They were only able to strip down with both Tyler and Daria looking away and their backs turned to each other. They would only look into each other’s eyes (with no more than a few glances looking down) and pretend Tyler and Daria were not there.
By 4:00, however, the pair had relaxed a bit, but only a bit. They had each wanted a drawing of the two of them – they were both frightened and ashamed of their feelings for each other while haven fallen very much in love. In the end, they decided that a series of Polaroids would suffice – they were easier to hide. Daria and Tyler both wondered if the pair had gone further than snuggling and perhaps kissing while in their modest sleepwear (answer, although Daria and Tyler did not know it, was ‘just a little’, although the pair would become more intimate, both coming to Daria for relationship advice and assurance that their ‘deviance’ was not a deadly sin, even if their families would never accept that).
Tyler insisted on taking the pair as well as Daria to dinner. This helped the two accept what they were doing was neither ‘evil’ nor ‘perverse,’ and that their tentatively acknowledged love for each other could go beyond the Platonic and that not every person would consider them wicked perverts. The two would be fully accepted into Daria and Quinn’s circles of friends. Tyler, the twins, and most of their friends treated the pair as a committed couple, and the rest didn’t care one way or another.
“I feel sorry for them,” Daria said to Tyler as he brushed his teeth after dinner. “I’ve done no more than hint to mother about our relationship, but I believe I’ll be at least a bit more detailed, most likely over Thanksgiving. I don’t think either of those two, especially Cathy, could admit this to her parents.”
“Could Quinn tell your folks about Stacy, if the two decided to become a formal couple?”
“Over time and lots of hints, probably. I doubt either grandmother would ever understand, however,” Daria replied.
Coming out of the bathroom, Tyler hugged Daria and said, “Speaking of relationships, could we talk about ours?”
Daria swallowed nervously, but assured herself that it shouldn’t be bad news if he was hugging her. Still, she just nodded.
Tyler pulled back a bit, but still held on to her shoulders. “You’ve become part of my life.” Daria smiled, if tentatively. “I like it, and I hope you’ll become an ever-growing part of it.”
Daria hugged him, saying, “Me, too.”
“I love you.”
Daria looked up and smiled her small but genuine smile. “I love you, too,” she whispered. She had only recently admitted this to herself, and to no one else.
“Shall we talk about your and your twin’s birthday?”
Daria rolled her eyes. “You mean the surprise party Stacy and Jane are throwing us somewhere?”
Not surprised that one of the twins had found out about the party and then informed the other, Tyler replied, “The ‘where’ is one of the rec rooms in the basement of your dorm. Are you really sure there isn’t anything special you’d like for your birthday?”
“Nothing,” Daria stated firmly.
“Okay, when you asked about showing Jane and Jennifer that video, and knowing what happens in the final scenes, I sent away for this. Let’s see if I can’t change your mind about getting some toys and other goodies.” ‘This’ was an ‘Adam & Eve’ catalogue of sex toys and other interesting items.
Daria’s eyes lit up.
The two had a good discussion on what might be useful, especially as Daria was both technically a virgin, front and back, and was interested in experiencing Tyler in both areas. She was also interested in doing Tyler in the backend as well. Finally, Daria decided on a 7-inch thin vibrator (so thin it needed two AAA batteries to operate), and an equally long, tapered dildo (with bumps ‘for added pleasure,’ that started narrow at the tip and thickened to a moderate degree towards the base), plus a large bottle of flavored lube, a number of small condoms (for use on the vibrator and dildo), and large condoms, for Tyler himself (all also flavored). Daria decided on ordering the same things (other than the Tyler-sized condoms) for Quinn and Jane, plus narrow 12-inch double dildos for them both. Daria also purchased a few other items.
The two then went to bed to practice their tonguing techniques. Daria was now able to swallow nearly all of Tyler’s cock at least a few of the down strokes during their slow, languorous blowjob sessions, if approaching it from the right angle.
*
The next morning and afternoon, Daria and Tyler pretty much repeated the day before, but with Cindy coming to pose. At the start of the semester, she had been somewhat shy and very very prudish. No one but her and her professor-lover knew that by now, she had gone much further than Daria had, baring the voyeurism/exhibitionism. She therefore only had momentary qualms about stripping down, but she was soon comfortable, even in the very explicit pose she assumed for the drawing she had requested – it would be Professor Schmidt’s Christmas present.
The various teens who were posing for one or more painting would be showing up on various Saturday or Sunday afternoons (or other times during the final exams).
Cindy’s vibrant personality and nudity, and her explicit posing, turned Daria on a great deal. She really wished she could lose her virginity before the end of the semester, but in the end, she kept to her resolve, even if Tyler brought her off multiple times with one finger inside her butt, one inside her vagina, and his lips and tongue stimulating her to multiple orgasms.
She intended to tell her mother that she was still a virgin (as she was sure to ask), not that she was in any way virginal.
Week 12
November 11 was the twins’ birthday – a Tuesday this year. They had a get-together (Stacy could not really keep it a surprise) in one of the basement rec rooms in the dorm. Between the two twins, there were over thirty people. Granted, nearly half were there mostly or entirely for Quinn, but more than Jane and Tyler were there exclusively or at least primarily for Daria, including Cindy, Cathy, Patti, and six other music majors.
Stacy and Jane ensured the decorations were nice, and Jane ensured they were not all just cute. Tyler made certain the cake and pizza were more than enough to satisfy everyone. It was what happened before the party than confused Tyler, Jane, and Jennifer – Stacy was already aware, having seen this over past birthdays as the twins assessed the money sent by relatives. As usual, Quinn started, opening a card and stating: “Grandmother Barksdale – two hundred.”
“Fifty,” Daria stated.
Quinn sniffed at that gift. “Grandmother Morgendorffer, a hundred.”
“Fifty.”
“Mom and Dad, each a hundred?”
“Same here,” Daria agreed.
“Aunt Rita, Aunt Caroline, nothing so far.”
“As usual,” Daria agreed.
“Aunt Amy, a hundred.”
Daria opened her card and her eyes went wide. “Five hundred!” That Aunt Amy had sent Daria more was as usual as their grandmothers’ shortchanging her. This was a significant amount, usually she had sent Daria $50 more than Quinn. Shaking her head to clear it, Quinn said, “So, this year, I got six hundred, but you got eight hundred. For once, you’re ahead.”
“So, I owe you a hundred.” Looking at the others, she said, “We never get the same amounts, so we even them out.”
“Grandmother really shortchanged you this year, Aunt Amy sent me the usual amount.”
“No, you’ve been evening things out in my favor for years. This is fair.”
Jennifer and Stacy left shortly thereafter – Tyle had said he wanted to speak with Jane and Quinn. “Do either of you have plans for spring break?”
“Isn’t it a bit early to think about that?” Jane asked.
“Not by all that much. How would the two of you, perhaps with a guest each, like to spend it in Orlando?”
“Oooo, it’s been a couple of years since we’ve been to Disney World!” Quinn enthused.
“Expensive….” Jane muttered to herself.
“Well, first of all, I own a place just outside of Kissimmee, which means it’s a very short drive to Disney,” Tyler told them.
“Wait a moment,” Quinn said, “tell us the full deal.” She turned to Daria. “Not that it will be easy to get Mom to agree, once she knows you’ll be with a guy.” Daria merely shrugged.
Tyler started to explain. “Okay, one, I’ll take care of major expenses; the plane tickets and transportation, tickets into Disney and wherever. You, Daria, and myself split the food costs.” Knowing her financial resources, Quinn agreed that was fair.
“Now, you and Jane can each invite one guest. But remember, you’ll be sleeping with them. You two, and your guests, if any, will be responsible for cleaning up the kitchen. All of us split taking care of the rest of the place. You pay for your own souvenirs and such, of course, as well as any meals done as couples.”
“I suspect there’s something else,” Jane stated.
“Just one little thing,” Daria said.
“This oughtta be good,” Jane stated.
“And so?” Quinn said at the same time.
“It’s at a nudist resort.”
Quinn and Jane both blinked. Jane recovered first. “You mean….”
“Unless it’s below about sixty, outside you’ll at least be topless. It’s a family resort, so nothing beyond flirting outside. And, if you’re interested, there is a nice, large, heated pool. Interested?”
They were, but both needed more time to consider the offer. Jane knew that if she went, she’d invite Jennifer. Quinn was a bit less sure about inviting Stacy, although she certainly wouldn’t invite a different girl, and so far no boy had gone beyond mild flirting since ‘the Jimmy incident.’
*
Those classes, such as the musicology ones, which had four exams, had the third that week. Daria and Tyler continued to score 100%, which led Professor Schmidt to make Tyler an offer the following week. That Saturday, however, a number of students had to make a choice – every semester since 1974, the student governments (undergrad and graduate) that sponsored the film series showed a porn film (although unlike the other films shown, this was limited to one showing, rather than both Friday and Saturday). This semester’s film would be ‘Debbie Does Dallas.’
Most Freshmen had never even had a chance to see a porn film before, and so most of the Freshmen males at least wanted to go. Seating would be limited – there were over 30,000 undergraduate and 12,000 graduate students and only 1020 tickets (weekend films were shown in the main auditorium). Tyler, who was friends with the grad student who was the vice president of the sponsoring film society, got himself 10 tickets for adjoining seats, if at scalpers’ pricing. Tyler knew that Daria, Jane, and himself were all going. Daria could fill in the rest.
While Daria had asked Cindy, she wasn’t interested. Quinn went along, which meant that Stacy would as well. Tori and her current boyfriend had been planning on standing in line that Friday afternoon for tickets, and were glad they wouldn’t have to. Quinn also recruited two theater majors who, although gay, were more than happy to see sex of any sort. At that point, Jennifer agreed to come along.
The audience was about 70% male, but with four males, the other six were somewhat isolated from any crude remarks – especially since one of the theater majors was about 6 foot 4 and a body builder, and the other three made credible protectors.
After the movie, the ten broke up into couples, all turned on to some degree, although the two male theater majors were almost as interested in critiquing the movie as a movie as they were turned on.
“Overall, I liked it better than ‘Deep Throat. Granted there was almost a coherent plot,” Daria commented as she started to strip in Tyler’s bedroom, “the acting was slightly better, and most of the sex scenes were far better, in your friend Lily’s compilations.”
“True, but you were still turned on, especially by seeing how turned on the crowd was,” Tyler pointed out.
“I was, and am,” Daria agreed. “I did get a few ideas though.”
“That’s our scholar – always learning.”
Week 13
Other than the various visiting artist models, Tyler and Daria would have spent both Friday and Saturday as they had the previous Saturday. However, Tyler had paid for premium shipping, and the box of toys and other items arrived Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening, Daria enjoyed the vibrator eased into her tight fore-channel, while the very lubricated dildo replaced Tyler’s finger in her backside. As he was busy teasing and otherwise stimulating her clitoris, Daria enjoyed her evening multiple times to Tyler’s very satisfying once.
Quinn and Jane were pleased and embarrassed (especially Quinn) by the toys, lube, and condoms. A quick lecture on the care and cleaning (and the whys of both) soon had them understanding the condoms – they really did not want to wash their toys in the dorm bathrooms very often.
However, Tyler also had a serious discussion with Daria that Friday. Dr. Schmidt had been impressed not only with Tyler’s scores in his class, but the feedback he had gotten from students about Tyler’s tutoring, borne out by the fact the overall the class was averaging 3 points higher on the exams than normal – and less than 20% were getting tutored. He therefore asked that Tyler TA the next semester (Modern & 20th Century). In addition, Schmidt taught a graduate course in the first summer session on contemporary popular music. He would arrange for Tyler to get graduate credit for the two TA’d courses if he would also produce a 25-page research paper for each course, and of course (what the university cared most about) paid for those extra 8 graduate credits that summer. If he also took the Summer I class, he’d have the minimum graduate music credits he needed.
Tyler therefore invited Daria to spend the summer session with him. If her parents wouldn’t pay for her to take courses in the first summer session, he would. He also invited her to spend the rest of summer with him in Denmark, meeting his relatives. Both knew that these ideas would take some consideration, but Tyler wanted to get them out early, so that Daria wouldn’t have to make any quick decisions.
Week 14
Classes ended at 1:00 on the day before Thanksgiving. Quinn and Daria’s mother picked them up at 1:15, and started her intense interrogation at 1:17, lasting the nearly full hour it took to get to their house. Their mother was seething, because even though both daughters swore upon their (and their twin’s) virginity, both also admitted (in her view – outright stated would have been more accurate) to both being on birth control. Quinn admitted to some serious dating, and Daria confirmed she was serious about one man. Helen had merely sniffed in derision at the idea of Daria finally seriously dating, much to Quinn’s disgust and Daria’s anger.
That evening, Helen exploded at the idea of the spring break plan (or at least Daria’s being with a man; a group trip to Florida of just young women was fine), again refused to hear anything about Tyler, and ordered Daria to ‘cease being a smitten idiot’ and even ‘straighten out, or else I’ll withdraw you from college.’ Even though Dara knew her mother could not do the latter, she was fed up, Quinn was horrified, and Jake was very unhappy with his wife.
Other than one syllable answers, Daria refused to engage her mother the rest of Wednesday night, all day Thanksgiving, or Friday morning, and she barely ate anything. Helen got angrier by the hour, but decided to confront Daria Friday night. When Helen and a still-upset Quinn returned from their annual Black Friday assault on clothing stores (cut far short due to Quinn’s anger at her mother), Helen was shocked that Daria was gone, although it took until dinner that night to discover this, as Helen thought Daria was sulking in her room all afternoon. Quinn was not at all surprised, and pointed out that all of Daria’s personal items were gone from her room – and her house key was on her dresser.
Jake had returned home a few hours later to a raging wife even before learning he was missing a daughter. Of course, there was one now rather smug daughter who was refusing to answer any of his wife’s demands.
“Hello?”
“Is this Tyler Green?”
“It is.”
-Sigh- “This is Daria’s father. May I please speak with my daughter?”
“Father.”
Jake winced at the icy tone. “I understand why you’re upset. I can sort of understand why you left.” He sighed. “Your mother is still raging up and down the house, cursing you, her mother, your aunts Amy and Rita, me, Quinn, your boyfriend, and, every once in a while, herself.” He was safe in his home office, on a separate line. “Is there any chance I could come there and talk with the two of you tomorrow morning?”
After a moment’s silence, Daria said, “Of course, if it’s only you, Daddy, not Mother. We both know she won’t be ready to apologize any time soon.”
The two hung up a few minutes later. Jake was about to go face his wife when his phone rang. “Hello?”
“Jacob! I just got off the phone with my idiot daughter. What in blazes is going on there!”
Jake sighed, and talked with his mother-in-law.
November 29
At 11:35, Jake pulled into the parking lot of the only real upper crust restaurant near the U campus. He didn’t see the yellow hornet he had been told to look for, but he did see the Cadillac his mother-in-law drove. He pulled in next to it, and Teresa ‘Tess’ Barksdale got out as he did.
“Jacob.”
“Mother Barksdale,” he replied, scanning the parking lot.
“We are both a bit early,” she admitted.
“True; they’re just pulling in.” Tess saw him nod at a small, older yellow car, which parked a row behind them. Both were surprised to see Daria, usually a confident person, practically attach herself nervously to the young man, who then escorted her towards them. Usually placid when not stoic, both were shaken to see Daria look actually a bit frightened.
When she greeted them, however, Daria’s voice was strong. “Father, Grandmother, this is Tyler Green.”
“Mister Morgendorffer, Missus Barksdale; we have reservations for eleven forty-five, if you care to join us?”
Jacob looked a bit confused at the phrasing, but Tess smiled slightly – the young man was taking his lady to lunch; the three family members might care about this meeting, but he only cared for Daria. Tess had been taught how to judge people from a young age, and she had rarely been proven wrong – with two exceptions. At first glance, she liked this confident young man – neither handsome as such nor plain; she believed in a few years he would look rather distinguished.
When they were seated in an uncrowded side dining room, Jake admitted, “I’m not sure where to start.”
“Unless it’s not new, I suggest we start with that pretty ring,” Tess suggested drily. Jake looked, and saw a white gold ring with a small emerald on Daria’s left ring finger. He then noticed she had matching earrings as well.
“It’s a promise ring,” Daria stated simply, “or a pre-engagement ring if you prefer. I am sure you two, as well as Grandma and even Aunt Amy would like to be assured there is some formality to our relationship beyond simple dating.”
“You didn’t have that yesterday, right?” Jake asked.
“I asked her as we drove us home yesterday,” Tyler stated, making Jake wince with the ‘home’ reference. “We decided on this last evening.”
“Tell me, young man, are you really ready to take on the financial responsibility for Daria if her family withdraws our support?”
Tyler smiled at Daria’s grandmother, and she knew it was not friendly. He briefly explained his family, and to a degree his finances (granted, the terms ‘nudist’ and ‘naturalist’ did not come up, but he had more than enough other general investments, and ‘those’ investments were actually, while important to his family, only a small part of another corporate portfolio). “So, in short, yes, if most or even all of Daria’s family wish to cut ties, it will not impact her education.” He got a severe look on his face. “If either or both of you would like, I’ll even send you a notarized promise to that effect.”
“It won’t be necessary for me, because I will not cut you off,” Jake assured Daria. “I also talked to Mother, and she agreed to go along with what I decide.”
“And we all know Amy won’t,” Tess stated. “And, of course, while it will not make a difference financially, I cannot imagine Quinn doing so.”
“True on both counts, and thank you, Dad,” Daria replied.
“So, what are your plans, dear?” Tess asked her granddaughter. When Daria finished outlining her plans through August, Tess stated, “Helen will not be pleased. I take it you have no plans to see her anytime soon? As in in the next year or so?”
“That’s more up to her than to me,” Daria replied. “I am staying with Tyler. If I can, I’ll go back to rooming with Jane in the spring.” Tess and Jake knew that meant she would live with Tyler if her dorm room wasn’t paid for. “I will be going to Florida over spring break, going to summer school in the first session, and going to Europe afterwards. Would I be willing to visit, even between Christmas and New Year’s, if Mother apologizes and comes down off her high horse? Yes, of course.”
Tess held her hand up when Jake was about to speak. After a few moments of hard and quick thought, she said, “I know I cannot ask the impossible. Times change, and so do standards. Still, people are people. I fell in love with your grandfather when I was a Freshman in college – even though I am certain you would call our junior college a finishing school – he was a Junior at a nearby University. I met him at the Halloween dance, and yes, we snuck away over spring break – that was the spring before the Crash.” Tess smiled. “After we graduated and he went to law school in DC, I got a position with the DAR and we lived in the same apartment building. I rarely slept in my own apartment” She turned to Jake. “You and Helen fell in love the same way.”
“Yes,” Jake admitted. “I was at George Washington, Helen was at Mount Vernon. We didn’t sneak away during spring break, though.”
“No, you both went to summer school and she spent most nights in that tiny little apartment you had after your Freshman year,” Tess retorted dryly. She turned back to the couple. “May I address you as Tyler, Mister Green?”
“Of course.”
Tess opened her purse and took out her checkbook. “Daria, I’ll make a deal with you.” She suddenly flushed. “I’ve realized today that you’re a bit more like me than I thought, and that I’ve favored your sister over you far too much. I won’t make that mistake with presents or monetary presents again.”
“Thank you, and to tell the truth, we always add up how much we get, and then split the difference so it comes out even.”
Tess snorted in amusement at that. “Anyway, here’s the deal. I will continue to pay for your tuition, room and board, and fees. You will promise to spend most of your nights during term in your dorm room. If you decide to move in with any man you are not married to, that all ends. If you are married, I will pay the tuition. Fair enough?”
“More than fair, thank you, Grandmother.” Daria had brought a small backpack with her. She now opened it and gave her grandmother and father two large manila envelopes, as they waited for their dessert and coffee to arrive. “Two early presents. The U has several literary journals. I have two poems in this one, and a short story in that one.”
“Well done, kiddo!” Jake stated.
‘Indeed,” Tess agreed. She sighed. “Do you know why one of you was named Quinn?” She turned to Jake. “If she doesn’t know the whole story, may I?”
“Sure,” he agreed, if uncomfortable. Daria knew she had heard at least part of the story, but it was obvious her grandmother wanted to make a point and Tyler had never heard any of the story.
“My father’s name was Quinton. I had a fraternal twin, Quinton Junior. He was killed in North Africa in the War. He, well, let us say he had little interest in women and died unmarried. Rita and my son Quinton were also fraternal twins. He died from polio in Nineteen Fifty. Helen was nearly as devastated as Rita. Amy was barely out of diapers, and was just confused.” She looked at Jake.
“When we learned Helen was going to have twins, we would have named the boys Quinton and David, after my dad. You were supposed to be Christmas babies, so girls would be named Holly and Ivy. If there had been a boy and a girl, Quinton and Holly Ivy.” He sighed. “Then your mother got an infection, and somehow, you caught it as well, although we didn’t know that at the time. What we did know was that you two would have to be born early via Caesarian, and your mother would be unlikely to have more children. She decided on naming Quinn that because she was healthy. We almost lost you four times before you were three months old. In some ways, Helen has favored Quinn, and in some ways, she’s always been overly protective of you. I hope I’ve treated you both pretty much the same, because I love you both very much.”
“And I know we both love you…Daddy,” Daria replied, even though she (unlike Quinn) almost never called him that. She turned to her grandmother.
“I will be here next weekend, and the weekend afterwards,” Tess stated. “You and Quinn have the choral concert next Friday night, and you and Tyler have the orchestra concert next Saturday, correct?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Daria replied. “And ‘A Christmas Carol’ the following weekend.”
Tess turned to Jake. “When I met you, I disapproved of you. On the other hand, I thoroughly approved of Rita’s husband. He turned out to be a philandering drunk, and you have turned out to have been a good husband, and an excellent father. I think I let my opinions of my daughters’ judgement cloud my own, as I have never been that wrong about anybody else.” She looked at Tyler. “Don’t disappoint me.” Then to Daria. “I am very proud of you.”
She then finally wrote in her checkbook and handed the check to Tyler. “You may be somewhere between very well off and wealthy, but Daria has rarely wanted much in terms of material goods, and she will be an expense. I hope this will cover part of that expense.”
“Thank you, Missus Barksdale.”
“Tell me, Daria, have you secured your money, so that Helen cannot appropriate it?” Helen and Jake were of course on her bank accounts.
“I have; I didn’t close the accounts but transferred all but five hundred in each to new accounts.”
“Good. I shall see you next Friday. You may take me to lunch on Saturday. I doubt Rita will come, but if Helen removes that steel rod from her backside, I hope to see her as well as you during at least one weekend.” She looked back at Daria. “Will Amy be here?”
“She can only get here for ‘A Christmas Carol’.”
“Then I shall see you then as well.”
After the group broke up, Daria asked Tyler, “Could we stop at the drug store?”
“Sure; any particular reason?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
When Jake got home, he found Helen (and Quinn) waiting for him. They had come back from more shopping for lunch and been surprised he was gone. “May I presume you were seeing our wayward daughter?” she snapped.
Meanwhile, Daria came into Tyler’s studio, where he was looking from his sketches to his preliminary sketch for ‘The Muses’. He just turned and looked at her.
“I’d like to do something special.”
“Anything.”
Daria blushed. “I just gave myself two enemas. Could we take a shower…and then you take my backdoor virginity?”

‘Lily’s Lesbian Lovers’ consisted of nine unrelated scenes (other than each featuring Lily) each scene lasting from just over eight minutes to nearly ten, so lasting a bit over 81 minutes in all.
The first scene was a repeat from the film Daria had seen some weeks before – Lily quickly kissing and stripping nude with a much bustier teen, kissing each other from lips to naval but not below, and caressing each other to apparent orgasm. By then, Jane was nuzzling Jennifer’s neck while keeping her eyes on the TV. Both she and Tyler had their hands under their lovers’ t-shirt-covered tummies, and were gently caressing the undersides of their breasts.
The second scene started off in a similar way, but with a slightly older woman with very short black hair and firm pointy-b-cups. After a few minutes of foreplay, however, the brunette started working her way down Lily’s body, bypassing her vulva for a moment to concentrate on her upper and inner thighs, and then moving upwards and inwards.
Soon, Lily was writhing in pleasure. By then, Jane had readjusted herself and Jennifer so that Jennifer was basically between Jane’s legs, with her right knee over Jane’s. Jane was nuzzling the other side of Jennifer’s neck and her left hand was under Jennifer’s shirt, playing with alternate nipples, her right caressing the lower part of Jennifer’s inner thigh. Jennifer’s left hand was stroking Jane’s outer thigh while her right was making slow circles between her waistband and clitoris, not yet ready to commit herself that far…yet.
Tyler’s right hand was under Daria’s shirt as well, playing with her left breast and nipple, while his left was partly up her left thigh, under her loose shorts. Daria’s left hand was over her right breast, copying Tyler’s actions, while her right was imitating Jennifer’s movements. Both couples (Daria the most, Jennifer the least) were well-aware of what the other pair was doing.
The third scene had the same two actresses, except this time the brunette was quickly rubbing her knee and thigh against Lily’s labia while kissing and caressing her. After a while, she shifted from a knee between Lily’s upper thighs to kneeling between them, two fingers deep inside her and thrusting hard and fast while her thumb worked Lily’s clitoris, her other hand kneading Lily’s small breasts in turn. Finally, her lips took the place of her thumb, bringing Lily to an arching orgasm.
Jennifer was watching the video with hooded eyes, her attention more on Jane’s hands – her shirt was now pulled above her exposed breasts and Jane was rubbing them a bit more vigorously. Her other hand was up the leg of her shorts, playing with her outer labia but unable to reach further. Jennifer’s left hand was reaching behind her, not quite reaching Jane’s vulva directly, although the rubbing motion on her shorts was having an effect. Her right hand was rubbing close to the one Jane had under her shorts.
Tyler’s right hand was still playing with Daria’s left breast, but his left hand was down the front of her shorts, exploring around her clitoris. Her left hand was still on her right breast, her right over Tyler’s hand, trying to direct his fingers to stimulate her more directly. Daria and then Jennifer had already removed their tops partway through the scene.
The fourth scene started before anyone noticed. The moans as Lily and a somewhat plain, long-legged flat dirty-blonde woman started scissoring. That caught everyone’s attention. Jane and Jennifer shifted so that they could start fingering each other vigorously, as Tyler did the same for Daria. As the pair climaxed on screen, the three teens did as well.
“Stop the video,” Jennifer panted.
Tyler clicked the remote.
“I think we need to take a break,” Jennifer suggested. “A private break.” She giggled. “Tyler probably needs one the most.”
Daria smirked. “Yeah, I have to agree.”
“Having a hard time there, Tyler?” Jane teased.
“Yep,” he managed to mutter.
Daria got off his lap and looked down and snorted in amusement. Jane stretched her neck, and then Jennifer did as well. Both their eyes went wide, as they could see not only the head of his penis was out the leg of his shorts, also were close to two inches of shaft.
Daria rolled her eyes, and to the shock of the other three, she bent down, kissed the tip, and said, “Come on, lover, let’s take care of that.”
Tyler stood and adjusted his shorts, and followed Daria, for once rolling her hips as she walked, into the bedroom. Jane got up to turn off the lamp and finished stripping, as did Jennifer.
Both couples ignored the other’s noises for the next thirty-five minutes.
Correctly feeling she was the reason Tyler had been (relatively) modest, Jennifer requested he feel free to be as undressed and she and Jane still were. The edge off all four, they cuddled as nude couples throughout the rest of the movie. As the remaining scenes included various toys, all three teens eyes went wide as the variety of dildo and vibrator use, including a double-ended dildo and a strap-on in different scenes. That the toy play included anal as well as vaginal penetration also came as a surprise to Jane and Jennifer.
Daria and Jane were very interested in that, if for different reasons.
While the movie was over soon after 10:00, and the couples had retired by 10:15, no one fell asleep before 11:00.
*
Tyler took the three out for breakfast and then drove up to the music building, although Jane moved on to the art building. The musical trio practiced until 11:30, then Tyler joined Daria to go to the cafeteria for lunch.
After lunch, they met with Patti and Cathy, and drove the nervous pair to Tyler’s. They were still nervous about posing, but when Tyler had them hold (still fully dressed, other than their shoes) the proposed pose, they relaxed a bit. They would be standing three-quarters facing the viewer, holding hands. The hands towards the viewer would be raised to slightly obscure the back portions of their profile, as they would be almost directly facing each other.
The pair did not even have much trouble assuming the positions in their underwear, in part because they took off their outer clothes separately in the studio or bathroom, and in part because their old-fashioned underwear revealed much less than any modern two-piece bathing suit. They were only able to strip down with both Tyler and Daria looking away and their backs turned to each other. They would only look into each other’s eyes (with no more than a few glances looking down) and pretend Tyler and Daria were not there.
By 4:00, however, the pair had relaxed a bit, but only a bit. They had each wanted a drawing of the two of them – they were both frightened and ashamed of their feelings for each other while haven fallen very much in love. In the end, they decided that a series of Polaroids would suffice – they were easier to hide. Daria and Tyler both wondered if the pair had gone further than snuggling and perhaps kissing while in their modest sleepwear (answer, although Daria and Tyler did not know it, was ‘just a little’, although the pair would become more intimate, both coming to Daria for relationship advice and assurance that their ‘deviance’ was not a deadly sin, even if their families would never accept that).
Tyler insisted on taking the pair as well as Daria to dinner. This helped the two accept what they were doing was neither ‘evil’ nor ‘perverse,’ and that their tentatively acknowledged love for each other could go beyond the Platonic and that not every person would consider them wicked perverts. The two would be fully accepted into Daria and Quinn’s circles of friends. Tyler, the twins, and most of their friends treated the pair as a committed couple, and the rest didn’t care one way or another.
“I feel sorry for them,” Daria said to Tyler as he brushed his teeth after dinner. “I’ve done no more than hint to mother about our relationship, but I believe I’ll be at least a bit more detailed, most likely over Thanksgiving. I don’t think either of those two, especially Cathy, could admit this to her parents.”
“Could Quinn tell your folks about Stacy, if the two decided to become a formal couple?”
“Over time and lots of hints, probably. I doubt either grandmother would ever understand, however,” Daria replied.
Coming out of the bathroom, Tyler hugged Daria and said, “Speaking of relationships, could we talk about ours?”
Daria swallowed nervously, but assured herself that it shouldn’t be bad news if he was hugging her. Still, she just nodded.
Tyler pulled back a bit, but still held on to her shoulders. “You’ve become part of my life.” Daria smiled, if tentatively. “I like it, and I hope you’ll become an ever-growing part of it.”
Daria hugged him, saying, “Me, too.”
“I love you.”
Daria looked up and smiled her small but genuine smile. “I love you, too,” she whispered. She had only recently admitted this to herself, and to no one else.
“Shall we talk about your and your twin’s birthday?”
Daria rolled her eyes. “You mean the surprise party Stacy and Jane are throwing us somewhere?”
Not surprised that one of the twins had found out about the party and then informed the other, Tyler replied, “The ‘where’ is one of the rec rooms in the basement of your dorm. Are you really sure there isn’t anything special you’d like for your birthday?”
“Nothing,” Daria stated firmly.
“Okay, when you asked about showing Jane and Jennifer that video, and knowing what happens in the final scenes, I sent away for this. Let’s see if I can’t change your mind about getting some toys and other goodies.” ‘This’ was an ‘Adam & Eve’ catalogue of sex toys and other interesting items.
Daria’s eyes lit up.
The two had a good discussion on what might be useful, especially as Daria was both technically a virgin, front and back, and was interested in experiencing Tyler in both areas. She was also interested in doing Tyler in the backend as well. Finally, Daria decided on a 7-inch thin vibrator (so thin it needed two AAA batteries to operate), and an equally long, tapered dildo (with bumps ‘for added pleasure,’ that started narrow at the tip and thickened to a moderate degree towards the base), plus a large bottle of flavored lube, a number of small condoms (for use on the vibrator and dildo), and large condoms, for Tyler himself (all also flavored). Daria decided on ordering the same things (other than the Tyler-sized condoms) for Quinn and Jane, plus narrow 12-inch double dildos for them both. Daria also purchased a few other items.
The two then went to bed to practice their tonguing techniques. Daria was now able to swallow nearly all of Tyler’s cock at least a few of the down strokes during their slow, languorous blowjob sessions, if approaching it from the right angle.
*
The next morning and afternoon, Daria and Tyler pretty much repeated the day before, but with Cindy coming to pose. At the start of the semester, she had been somewhat shy and very very prudish. No one but her and her professor-lover knew that by now, she had gone much further than Daria had, baring the voyeurism/exhibitionism. She therefore only had momentary qualms about stripping down, but she was soon comfortable, even in the very explicit pose she assumed for the drawing she had requested – it would be Professor Schmidt’s Christmas present.
The various teens who were posing for one or more painting would be showing up on various Saturday or Sunday afternoons (or other times during the final exams).
Cindy’s vibrant personality and nudity, and her explicit posing, turned Daria on a great deal. She really wished she could lose her virginity before the end of the semester, but in the end, she kept to her resolve, even if Tyler brought her off multiple times with one finger inside her butt, one inside her vagina, and his lips and tongue stimulating her to multiple orgasms.
She intended to tell her mother that she was still a virgin (as she was sure to ask), not that she was in any way virginal.
Week 12
November 11 was the twins’ birthday – a Tuesday this year. They had a get-together (Stacy could not really keep it a surprise) in one of the basement rec rooms in the dorm. Between the two twins, there were over thirty people. Granted, nearly half were there mostly or entirely for Quinn, but more than Jane and Tyler were there exclusively or at least primarily for Daria, including Cindy, Cathy, Patti, and six other music majors.
Stacy and Jane ensured the decorations were nice, and Jane ensured they were not all just cute. Tyler made certain the cake and pizza were more than enough to satisfy everyone. It was what happened before the party than confused Tyler, Jane, and Jennifer – Stacy was already aware, having seen this over past birthdays as the twins assessed the money sent by relatives. As usual, Quinn started, opening a card and stating: “Grandmother Barksdale – two hundred.”
“Fifty,” Daria stated.
Quinn sniffed at that gift. “Grandmother Morgendorffer, a hundred.”
“Fifty.”
“Mom and Dad, each a hundred?”
“Same here,” Daria agreed.
“Aunt Rita, Aunt Caroline, nothing so far.”
“As usual,” Daria agreed.
“Aunt Amy, a hundred.”
Daria opened her card and her eyes went wide. “Five hundred!” That Aunt Amy had sent Daria more was as usual as their grandmothers’ shortchanging her. This was a significant amount, usually she had sent Daria $50 more than Quinn. Shaking her head to clear it, Quinn said, “So, this year, I got six hundred, but you got eight hundred. For once, you’re ahead.”
“So, I owe you a hundred.” Looking at the others, she said, “We never get the same amounts, so we even them out.”
“Grandmother really shortchanged you this year, Aunt Amy sent me the usual amount.”
“No, you’ve been evening things out in my favor for years. This is fair.”
Jennifer and Stacy left shortly thereafter – Tyle had said he wanted to speak with Jane and Quinn. “Do either of you have plans for spring break?”
“Isn’t it a bit early to think about that?” Jane asked.
“Not by all that much. How would the two of you, perhaps with a guest each, like to spend it in Orlando?”
“Oooo, it’s been a couple of years since we’ve been to Disney World!” Quinn enthused.
“Expensive….” Jane muttered to herself.
“Well, first of all, I own a place just outside of Kissimmee, which means it’s a very short drive to Disney,” Tyler told them.
“Wait a moment,” Quinn said, “tell us the full deal.” She turned to Daria. “Not that it will be easy to get Mom to agree, once she knows you’ll be with a guy.” Daria merely shrugged.
Tyler started to explain. “Okay, one, I’ll take care of major expenses; the plane tickets and transportation, tickets into Disney and wherever. You, Daria, and myself split the food costs.” Knowing her financial resources, Quinn agreed that was fair.
“Now, you and Jane can each invite one guest. But remember, you’ll be sleeping with them. You two, and your guests, if any, will be responsible for cleaning up the kitchen. All of us split taking care of the rest of the place. You pay for your own souvenirs and such, of course, as well as any meals done as couples.”
“I suspect there’s something else,” Jane stated.
“Just one little thing,” Daria said.
“This oughtta be good,” Jane stated.
“And so?” Quinn said at the same time.
“It’s at a nudist resort.”
Quinn and Jane both blinked. Jane recovered first. “You mean….”
“Unless it’s below about sixty, outside you’ll at least be topless. It’s a family resort, so nothing beyond flirting outside. And, if you’re interested, there is a nice, large, heated pool. Interested?”
They were, but both needed more time to consider the offer. Jane knew that if she went, she’d invite Jennifer. Quinn was a bit less sure about inviting Stacy, although she certainly wouldn’t invite a different girl, and so far no boy had gone beyond mild flirting since ‘the Jimmy incident.’
*
Those classes, such as the musicology ones, which had four exams, had the third that week. Daria and Tyler continued to score 100%, which led Professor Schmidt to make Tyler an offer the following week. That Saturday, however, a number of students had to make a choice – every semester since 1974, the student governments (undergrad and graduate) that sponsored the film series showed a porn film (although unlike the other films shown, this was limited to one showing, rather than both Friday and Saturday). This semester’s film would be ‘Debbie Does Dallas.’
Most Freshmen had never even had a chance to see a porn film before, and so most of the Freshmen males at least wanted to go. Seating would be limited – there were over 30,000 undergraduate and 12,000 graduate students and only 1020 tickets (weekend films were shown in the main auditorium). Tyler, who was friends with the grad student who was the vice president of the sponsoring film society, got himself 10 tickets for adjoining seats, if at scalpers’ pricing. Tyler knew that Daria, Jane, and himself were all going. Daria could fill in the rest.
While Daria had asked Cindy, she wasn’t interested. Quinn went along, which meant that Stacy would as well. Tori and her current boyfriend had been planning on standing in line that Friday afternoon for tickets, and were glad they wouldn’t have to. Quinn also recruited two theater majors who, although gay, were more than happy to see sex of any sort. At that point, Jennifer agreed to come along.
The audience was about 70% male, but with four males, the other six were somewhat isolated from any crude remarks – especially since one of the theater majors was about 6 foot 4 and a body builder, and the other three made credible protectors.
After the movie, the ten broke up into couples, all turned on to some degree, although the two male theater majors were almost as interested in critiquing the movie as a movie as they were turned on.
“Overall, I liked it better than ‘Deep Throat. Granted there was almost a coherent plot,” Daria commented as she started to strip in Tyler’s bedroom, “the acting was slightly better, and most of the sex scenes were far better, in your friend Lily’s compilations.”
“True, but you were still turned on, especially by seeing how turned on the crowd was,” Tyler pointed out.
“I was, and am,” Daria agreed. “I did get a few ideas though.”
“That’s our scholar – always learning.”
Week 13
Other than the various visiting artist models, Tyler and Daria would have spent both Friday and Saturday as they had the previous Saturday. However, Tyler had paid for premium shipping, and the box of toys and other items arrived Saturday afternoon. Saturday evening, Daria enjoyed the vibrator eased into her tight fore-channel, while the very lubricated dildo replaced Tyler’s finger in her backside. As he was busy teasing and otherwise stimulating her clitoris, Daria enjoyed her evening multiple times to Tyler’s very satisfying once.
Quinn and Jane were pleased and embarrassed (especially Quinn) by the toys, lube, and condoms. A quick lecture on the care and cleaning (and the whys of both) soon had them understanding the condoms – they really did not want to wash their toys in the dorm bathrooms very often.
However, Tyler also had a serious discussion with Daria that Friday. Dr. Schmidt had been impressed not only with Tyler’s scores in his class, but the feedback he had gotten from students about Tyler’s tutoring, borne out by the fact the overall the class was averaging 3 points higher on the exams than normal – and less than 20% were getting tutored. He therefore asked that Tyler TA the next semester (Modern & 20th Century). In addition, Schmidt taught a graduate course in the first summer session on contemporary popular music. He would arrange for Tyler to get graduate credit for the two TA’d courses if he would also produce a 25-page research paper for each course, and of course (what the university cared most about) paid for those extra 8 graduate credits that summer. If he also took the Summer I class, he’d have the minimum graduate music credits he needed.
Tyler therefore invited Daria to spend the summer session with him. If her parents wouldn’t pay for her to take courses in the first summer session, he would. He also invited her to spend the rest of summer with him in Denmark, meeting his relatives. Both knew that these ideas would take some consideration, but Tyler wanted to get them out early, so that Daria wouldn’t have to make any quick decisions.
Week 14
Classes ended at 1:00 on the day before Thanksgiving. Quinn and Daria’s mother picked them up at 1:15, and started her intense interrogation at 1:17, lasting the nearly full hour it took to get to their house. Their mother was seething, because even though both daughters swore upon their (and their twin’s) virginity, both also admitted (in her view – outright stated would have been more accurate) to both being on birth control. Quinn admitted to some serious dating, and Daria confirmed she was serious about one man. Helen had merely sniffed in derision at the idea of Daria finally seriously dating, much to Quinn’s disgust and Daria’s anger.
That evening, Helen exploded at the idea of the spring break plan (or at least Daria’s being with a man; a group trip to Florida of just young women was fine), again refused to hear anything about Tyler, and ordered Daria to ‘cease being a smitten idiot’ and even ‘straighten out, or else I’ll withdraw you from college.’ Even though Dara knew her mother could not do the latter, she was fed up, Quinn was horrified, and Jake was very unhappy with his wife.
Other than one syllable answers, Daria refused to engage her mother the rest of Wednesday night, all day Thanksgiving, or Friday morning, and she barely ate anything. Helen got angrier by the hour, but decided to confront Daria Friday night. When Helen and a still-upset Quinn returned from their annual Black Friday assault on clothing stores (cut far short due to Quinn’s anger at her mother), Helen was shocked that Daria was gone, although it took until dinner that night to discover this, as Helen thought Daria was sulking in her room all afternoon. Quinn was not at all surprised, and pointed out that all of Daria’s personal items were gone from her room – and her house key was on her dresser.
Jake had returned home a few hours later to a raging wife even before learning he was missing a daughter. Of course, there was one now rather smug daughter who was refusing to answer any of his wife’s demands.
“Hello?”
“Is this Tyler Green?”
“It is.”
-Sigh- “This is Daria’s father. May I please speak with my daughter?”
“Father.”
Jake winced at the icy tone. “I understand why you’re upset. I can sort of understand why you left.” He sighed. “Your mother is still raging up and down the house, cursing you, her mother, your aunts Amy and Rita, me, Quinn, your boyfriend, and, every once in a while, herself.” He was safe in his home office, on a separate line. “Is there any chance I could come there and talk with the two of you tomorrow morning?”
After a moment’s silence, Daria said, “Of course, if it’s only you, Daddy, not Mother. We both know she won’t be ready to apologize any time soon.”
The two hung up a few minutes later. Jake was about to go face his wife when his phone rang. “Hello?”
“Jacob! I just got off the phone with my idiot daughter. What in blazes is going on there!”
Jake sighed, and talked with his mother-in-law.
November 29
At 11:35, Jake pulled into the parking lot of the only real upper crust restaurant near the U campus. He didn’t see the yellow hornet he had been told to look for, but he did see the Cadillac his mother-in-law drove. He pulled in next to it, and Teresa ‘Tess’ Barksdale got out as he did.
“Jacob.”
“Mother Barksdale,” he replied, scanning the parking lot.
“We are both a bit early,” she admitted.
“True; they’re just pulling in.” Tess saw him nod at a small, older yellow car, which parked a row behind them. Both were surprised to see Daria, usually a confident person, practically attach herself nervously to the young man, who then escorted her towards them. Usually placid when not stoic, both were shaken to see Daria look actually a bit frightened.
When she greeted them, however, Daria’s voice was strong. “Father, Grandmother, this is Tyler Green.”
“Mister Morgendorffer, Missus Barksdale; we have reservations for eleven forty-five, if you care to join us?”
Jacob looked a bit confused at the phrasing, but Tess smiled slightly – the young man was taking his lady to lunch; the three family members might care about this meeting, but he only cared for Daria. Tess had been taught how to judge people from a young age, and she had rarely been proven wrong – with two exceptions. At first glance, she liked this confident young man – neither handsome as such nor plain; she believed in a few years he would look rather distinguished.
When they were seated in an uncrowded side dining room, Jake admitted, “I’m not sure where to start.”
“Unless it’s not new, I suggest we start with that pretty ring,” Tess suggested drily. Jake looked, and saw a white gold ring with a small emerald on Daria’s left ring finger. He then noticed she had matching earrings as well.
“It’s a promise ring,” Daria stated simply, “or a pre-engagement ring if you prefer. I am sure you two, as well as Grandma and even Aunt Amy would like to be assured there is some formality to our relationship beyond simple dating.”
“You didn’t have that yesterday, right?” Jake asked.
“I asked her as we drove us home yesterday,” Tyler stated, making Jake wince with the ‘home’ reference. “We decided on this last evening.”
“Tell me, young man, are you really ready to take on the financial responsibility for Daria if her family withdraws our support?”
Tyler smiled at Daria’s grandmother, and she knew it was not friendly. He briefly explained his family, and to a degree his finances (granted, the terms ‘nudist’ and ‘naturalist’ did not come up, but he had more than enough other general investments, and ‘those’ investments were actually, while important to his family, only a small part of another corporate portfolio). “So, in short, yes, if most or even all of Daria’s family wish to cut ties, it will not impact her education.” He got a severe look on his face. “If either or both of you would like, I’ll even send you a notarized promise to that effect.”
“It won’t be necessary for me, because I will not cut you off,” Jake assured Daria. “I also talked to Mother, and she agreed to go along with what I decide.”
“And we all know Amy won’t,” Tess stated. “And, of course, while it will not make a difference financially, I cannot imagine Quinn doing so.”
“True on both counts, and thank you, Dad,” Daria replied.
“So, what are your plans, dear?” Tess asked her granddaughter. When Daria finished outlining her plans through August, Tess stated, “Helen will not be pleased. I take it you have no plans to see her anytime soon? As in in the next year or so?”
“That’s more up to her than to me,” Daria replied. “I am staying with Tyler. If I can, I’ll go back to rooming with Jane in the spring.” Tess and Jake knew that meant she would live with Tyler if her dorm room wasn’t paid for. “I will be going to Florida over spring break, going to summer school in the first session, and going to Europe afterwards. Would I be willing to visit, even between Christmas and New Year’s, if Mother apologizes and comes down off her high horse? Yes, of course.”
Tess held her hand up when Jake was about to speak. After a few moments of hard and quick thought, she said, “I know I cannot ask the impossible. Times change, and so do standards. Still, people are people. I fell in love with your grandfather when I was a Freshman in college – even though I am certain you would call our junior college a finishing school – he was a Junior at a nearby University. I met him at the Halloween dance, and yes, we snuck away over spring break – that was the spring before the Crash.” Tess smiled. “After we graduated and he went to law school in DC, I got a position with the DAR and we lived in the same apartment building. I rarely slept in my own apartment” She turned to Jake. “You and Helen fell in love the same way.”
“Yes,” Jake admitted. “I was at George Washington, Helen was at Mount Vernon. We didn’t sneak away during spring break, though.”
“No, you both went to summer school and she spent most nights in that tiny little apartment you had after your Freshman year,” Tess retorted dryly. She turned back to the couple. “May I address you as Tyler, Mister Green?”
“Of course.”
Tess opened her purse and took out her checkbook. “Daria, I’ll make a deal with you.” She suddenly flushed. “I’ve realized today that you’re a bit more like me than I thought, and that I’ve favored your sister over you far too much. I won’t make that mistake with presents or monetary presents again.”
“Thank you, and to tell the truth, we always add up how much we get, and then split the difference so it comes out even.”
Tess snorted in amusement at that. “Anyway, here’s the deal. I will continue to pay for your tuition, room and board, and fees. You will promise to spend most of your nights during term in your dorm room. If you decide to move in with any man you are not married to, that all ends. If you are married, I will pay the tuition. Fair enough?”
“More than fair, thank you, Grandmother.” Daria had brought a small backpack with her. She now opened it and gave her grandmother and father two large manila envelopes, as they waited for their dessert and coffee to arrive. “Two early presents. The U has several literary journals. I have two poems in this one, and a short story in that one.”
“Well done, kiddo!” Jake stated.
‘Indeed,” Tess agreed. She sighed. “Do you know why one of you was named Quinn?” She turned to Jake. “If she doesn’t know the whole story, may I?”
“Sure,” he agreed, if uncomfortable. Daria knew she had heard at least part of the story, but it was obvious her grandmother wanted to make a point and Tyler had never heard any of the story.
“My father’s name was Quinton. I had a fraternal twin, Quinton Junior. He was killed in North Africa in the War. He, well, let us say he had little interest in women and died unmarried. Rita and my son Quinton were also fraternal twins. He died from polio in Nineteen Fifty. Helen was nearly as devastated as Rita. Amy was barely out of diapers, and was just confused.” She looked at Jake.
“When we learned Helen was going to have twins, we would have named the boys Quinton and David, after my dad. You were supposed to be Christmas babies, so girls would be named Holly and Ivy. If there had been a boy and a girl, Quinton and Holly Ivy.” He sighed. “Then your mother got an infection, and somehow, you caught it as well, although we didn’t know that at the time. What we did know was that you two would have to be born early via Caesarian, and your mother would be unlikely to have more children. She decided on naming Quinn that because she was healthy. We almost lost you four times before you were three months old. In some ways, Helen has favored Quinn, and in some ways, she’s always been overly protective of you. I hope I’ve treated you both pretty much the same, because I love you both very much.”
“And I know we both love you…Daddy,” Daria replied, even though she (unlike Quinn) almost never called him that. She turned to her grandmother.
“I will be here next weekend, and the weekend afterwards,” Tess stated. “You and Quinn have the choral concert next Friday night, and you and Tyler have the orchestra concert next Saturday, correct?”
“Yes, ma’am,” Daria replied. “And ‘A Christmas Carol’ the following weekend.”
Tess turned to Jake. “When I met you, I disapproved of you. On the other hand, I thoroughly approved of Rita’s husband. He turned out to be a philandering drunk, and you have turned out to have been a good husband, and an excellent father. I think I let my opinions of my daughters’ judgement cloud my own, as I have never been that wrong about anybody else.” She looked at Tyler. “Don’t disappoint me.” Then to Daria. “I am very proud of you.”
She then finally wrote in her checkbook and handed the check to Tyler. “You may be somewhere between very well off and wealthy, but Daria has rarely wanted much in terms of material goods, and she will be an expense. I hope this will cover part of that expense.”
“Thank you, Missus Barksdale.”
“Tell me, Daria, have you secured your money, so that Helen cannot appropriate it?” Helen and Jake were of course on her bank accounts.
“I have; I didn’t close the accounts but transferred all but five hundred in each to new accounts.”
“Good. I shall see you next Friday. You may take me to lunch on Saturday. I doubt Rita will come, but if Helen removes that steel rod from her backside, I hope to see her as well as you during at least one weekend.” She looked back at Daria. “Will Amy be here?”
“She can only get here for ‘A Christmas Carol’.”
“Then I shall see you then as well.”
After the group broke up, Daria asked Tyler, “Could we stop at the drug store?”
“Sure; any particular reason?”
“I’ll tell you later.”
When Jake got home, he found Helen (and Quinn) waiting for him. They had come back from more shopping for lunch and been surprised he was gone. “May I presume you were seeing our wayward daughter?” she snapped.
Meanwhile, Daria came into Tyler’s studio, where he was looking from his sketches to his preliminary sketch for ‘The Muses’. He just turned and looked at her.
“I’d like to do something special.”
“Anything.”
Daria blushed. “I just gave myself two enemas. Could we take a shower…and then you take my backdoor virginity?”
