Part 94
"Dad, Mom. Nice to see you"
Daniel was warmly greeted and embraced by his parents.
"Come in, then I'll introduce you to Sophia and her mothers"
Caroline raised her eyebrows, but this was ignored by both men.
"Mom, Dad, can you introduce you to Sophia. Sophia, my parents, Ben and Caroline Porter"
"Hi Sophia. My son said you were an angel. He's right"
Sophia was blushing and was somewhat embarrassed.
"Hi Sophia, Caroline"
"Come in, my mothers are already here I'll introduce you to them. This is my mother, Stella, and this is my mother, Carla"
Carla immediately saw that Caroline recognised her, but pretended not to see it.
"Hello, nice to meet you"
"Mom, do you also want white wine? Dad, Coke?"
Sophia and Daniel went back to the kitchen and to get some snacks and drinks. When they returned, their parents were talking,
but mainly Stella and Ben. Sophia tried again to get eye contact with Carla, but again she gave no sound. They chatted a bit, when
Daniel said,
"It's getting late. What do we do, we go somewhere to eat or cook ourselves?"
"If I can choose, I choose your cuisine, son"
They all agreed and they went to work. Stella loved standing in the kitchen again and offered immediately to help and went with
Daniel and Sophia in the kitchen. Ben helped too.
"Mom, would you maybe want to go to the liquor store to get some more wine? I haven't bought enough"
"That's okay Daniel. We'll go get some wine. The liquor store is just around the corner, isn't it?"
Carla and Caroline left the house.
"Hi Carla, how are you?"
"I thought you recognised me. Good and you?"
"Very well. Uh. Can I count on your discretion?"
"Yes, but in what sense?"
"I did tell Ben that I have slept with a woman, but not, well, of our adventure. I also believe that our children aren't waiting for this
development"
"I'll be discreet. Gee, that of all people in the world, our children fall in love with each other"
"Yes, that is pure coincidence. If Daniel had said that her name is von Lahnstein, I might have had the idea"
"Oh, I have made such impression that you still know my name?"
"Well, no, you didn't"
"Autsch"
"Why autsch. Carla it was a flirt. The fair was so boring. We both searched for distraction"
"So I was a little distraction?"
"Well, you were really hunting and I wanted to give it a try"
"Is that why you never responded to my calls?"
"Carla it was a flirt. You didn't turn my world upside down. For me it was no more than a fling and I do not think it was more for you"
"Autsch"
"Oh Carla, come on. Was it really more for you?"
"No, no, but heck I was nice and maybe could have developed"
"Not for me"
"Again autsch"
"Oh, sorry. I did not mean it like that. I uh. Oh, Carla it was a special experience, but I'm not a lesbian. I'm sure. My adventure
with you is my only experience with a woman"
"What do you mean? Was I your first?"
"Yes, the first and only"
"That was not noticeable" Carla said with a wink.
"Carla, stop it was not that great. I just wanted to try what it would be like, and you happened to be available"
'So I was actually used?"
"Frankly yes"
"Well then thank you very much"
"Sorry, it was not meant as hard. I uh, there was a reason why I wanted to try it. May I explain? Come on, you're offended?"
" Well, the fact that I have not forgotten you means for me it was more then just a flirtation"
"Oh Carla. It was so long ago. Come let me explain why I so easily let you seduce me"
"Hmm, OK"
They were now at the liquor store and bought some bottles of wine. Next to the liquor store was a coffee house.
"Carla, shall we have some coffee here?"
"Okay. What's so important for you to tell me?"
"Not important, but perhaps explain. I think Ben and Daniel on purpose concealed for me that Sophia has lesbian parents, because
they wanted me te get to know her without this knowledge. That we already know each other they both do not know. The reason is
my history. Just before we met, my parents divorced"
"I'm sorry for you"
"No, don't be. Their marriage was not exactly a dream marriage"
"Why not?"
"It has always been a lie. As a child I felt it, but never knew the reason"
"What was the reason?"
"Shortly before we met, my father told us that his entire married life he had a double life. Besides the relationship with my mother,
he had a relationship with a man"
"Ai"
"Yes, you can say that. You know, that he was gay, wasn't a problem to me, but that he had lied"
"What do you mean be was?"
"He is dead now"
"Oh sorry"
"Thank you, but that's not the point right now. I was so disappointed that he had lied to me. That hurt so much. I wanted to know what
he felt, what drove him. I wanted to know how it feels to have a relationship with someone of my own sex, and yes, then I met you at
that event. And Carla, boy what were you hunting. You were really searching for a victim and I thought now or never"
"So if I understand correctly, I was used as a test subject?"
"Well, you could say that. Why are you looking sad?"
"Would you like to be used as a test subject?"
"Oh Carla, see it as a compliment. I could have chosen just anyone, but I wanted the best, so I chose you"
"Oh give me a break"
"No. I really chose you Carla. The fair was so boring, that it changed into a great hunting ground. Did you not notice that?"
"What do you mean?"
"Oh Carla, we were not the only ones?"
"Really, I did not see that"
"No, you thought you had captured your prey"
"Yes, well I know it now and not long after that you met Ben"
"Yes, and you know what they say. Once you turn black you never go back. Come let's go"
"Yes, Bizarre isn't it, after all these years we meet again, but because our kids are madly in love. What do you think, will it work?"
"You never know, but Daniel has that look that I recognise. Ben also had that look and see where he still is"
"I must say that I have never seen Sophia like this. They are really madly in love"
"She looks exactly like you. It seems like as two drops of water, almost like you have cloned"
"No, that's really happened on the normal way"
"You! With a man!"
"No, please. No, both in a separate rooms in the hospital"
"Where were you guys. Dinner is ready"
"Daniel, I had to talk to Carla"
"What? Surely not about me or Sophia?"
"No, Carla and I have already met each other, but then I broke the contact. I just wanted to clear the air between us and we did. Now it's finished"
Stella looked at Carla and who nodded no.
They had a great evening. It went extremely well between their parents. After dinner they drank more coffee and ate the Sachertorte
that Daniel had bought that afternoon.
They agreed that they would have dinner together the next night, but in a restaurant and Aunt Jane was also invited.
Carla and Stella visited Saturday the Art historical Museum. Ben had some business meetings in the city and Caroline stayed with
Jane.Sophia and Daniel went into town and visited the Vienna Prater, but not too long, because they had to restrain the whole evening,
so they wanted to be together this afternoon.
Sunday afternoon everyone went home and Sophia and Daniel had all the time in the world together, at least for the next 14 days.
