Mummy Dearest

Chapter 7

The end of the school education. A lot of goodbyes, some promises to stay in touch. As for one teacher and one former pupil, it was new beginning.

The next day after the pupils had received their diplomas.

"How about Sunday?" Elisabeth asked Manuela when they were sitting on the couch in living room.

"Parents will be home, and ooohhh, the housekeeper will have such shock that it will take weeks to be back to normal."

"But she'll not even know how far we've got. The very idea of us together will turn her into a disgusting preacher."

"If she knew," Manuela grinned, "she might die on the spot. Case of death: puritanism."

"Only opinion of your parents matters."

"How we'll celebrate?"

"I have some food for the occasion. This should be enough."

"After several hours in bed, yes, but not before." Manuela put her hand under Elisabeth's top garment and caressed a little. Then, with both hands free, she  swiftly took this piece of clothing off. "This is much better."

"It isn't." Elisabeth protested. However, after she'd removed quickly Manuela's top garment, she was satisfied. "This is how it needs to be for a while."

"Let's go, please." The girl almost pleaded, looking at her no-longer-a-teacher.

"Where do you want to go?"

"You know the answer very well."

"And what do you want to do there?"

"We'll be enjoying each other a lot. It's been more than a week since two of us together. I needed to brush up before exams, then exams followed."

"Soon, you'll need to apply to that University we talked about. Your parents agreed with your decision."

"They know only that I'll not live near the University, but I'll be taking bus every day of studying."

"Liebling, this is enough. You said all that is needed to be known. The rest will be revealed when we're together talking to your parents."

After that, the couple left for bedroom. Several happy hours that led to kitchen where the two had celebratory food.

"What will be after parents have let us be a couple?" Manuela wondered.

"You'll apply to the University. With perfect results like yours at needed subjects, you'll have no difficulty to be accepted to study."

"If it existed and if I wanted, I would go to study 18+ art, I could copy my portrait of you from my last birthday to use it as a suggestive pose."

"At least, nobody would recognise me."

"Yeah, just a random very beautiful woman."

On Sunday, Manuela went to a bus stop to meet Elisabeth. They decided to go to Meinhardis' house together as if it were perfectly normal. It was, but parents had no idea that somebody was going to come to them.

Frau Käte was the only parent who knew her daughter's former form mistress.  When she had seen Manuela and the teacher, she was speechless.

"Fräulein von Bernburg, what—"

But her daughter didn't let her dear Mum worry even a few seconds, "Everything's all right, don't worry. I need to talk about something. Where's Dad?"

"You need him too?"
