THE SWORD AND THE SICKLE
PART ONE
CHAPTER THREE
LAIDA
Levi went home to his empty apartment and began to fantasize about what he would do to Laida when they got together on Monday. After a few hours of self-gratification, he began to think twice about coming on to her. After all, it had been a long time. He had beautiful young women before, and he was not beyond trying to have sex with married women. His hold-up was usually younger women were immature, self-involved, and wanted to have children. He had already learned from Laida during the class that she wanted kids, and Levi had three children already, and he was not willing to add more to the Earth's population.
He first met Laida in the library in college. She just plopped down in the chair next to him and said, "Hi Levi, I am Ivy's younger sister, Laida."
She said, "Hi Levi. My name is Laida. My sister Ivy said you would be here." They talked for about fifteen minutes, and Levi asked her to go out to eat pizza. As he talked to her, he knew exactly what she wanted. She wanted him. As they walked back to campus, he asked her to sit in his car. There in the car, parked parallel to the library, they made love for the first time. For sure, it was a nooner, so he asked to see her again the coming Saturday. She said, "You need to come to my house and ask my parents' permission. I turn eighteen on Friday, but they will want me to ask permission before I date a boy, even if you did date my sister." She called the dorm the next day and said, "Mom and Dad want to meet you. Tonight at seven. Can you make it?"
"Sure. I will be there."
She replied, "I was hoping you would say that. See you tonight. Oh, this is not a dinner invitation, so be sure to eat before you come."
He went to their home, and he felt uncomfortable asking her parents to date their daughter who just turned eighteen, out for a date; it seemed weird, but he answered their questions appropriately concerning the use of condoms and other personal, and outright icky questions; who were these weird people, he thought. He had not been through this when he dated his sister Ivy, but Laida seemed to be the favorite daughter, worthy of much stricter questions. He knew a little about them when he dated Ivy, but not this type of preparation for their supposed anticipation of him having sex with their daughter. He knew they were liberal when it came to Ivy's sexual activities and always seemed to approve of Ivy's selection of him as a friend, though Ivy had never introduced them to him. He asked Laida where she wanted to go, and her mother replied, "Her Dad and I would prefer you to date here in the house; we are not leaving the two of you unchaperoned to have sex in the backseat of your car." Levi was shocked; he had not expected such words to come from a father, but he was not going to turn down a good thing. You will have sex in this house, under our roof, in the privacy of her bedroom, or not at all." Levi had heard of this type of parenting since it was the 1970s, but he just never expected it to happen to him on a date.
