You decided to scan your new chauffeur’s mind. Her name was Jennifer Higgins. She was 27 years old and was an up-and-coming mid-level manager at a local technology company. Jennifer was really married to her career. She was determined to reach the top, even if it meant she had to sacrifice having a family. She had no intention of marrying or having children. When she had a “itch to scratch”, she might have the odd fling with some likely lad, but that was all. This was much to her mother’s dismay. Bridget, her mom, was very eager to fix her daughter up with a husband, so she could start producing grandchildren. She even had a candidate in mind, the son of a close friend.
You suddenly realized that you knew Jennifer’s mother – she was a friend of your own mother! By this time, you were both sitting in Jennifer’s car, Jennifer waiting for you to tell her where to take you.
“What’s he like?”, you asked.
“Brian?”, replied Jennifer. “Oh, he’s a nice guy. Handsome, good-hearted, eager to please. For the right girl, he’d be a ‘good catch’. But he wants an old-fashioned housewife – someone to pump out lots of kids for him, and then stay home taking care of them while he goes out and brings home the bacon. That’s just not for me.”
You thought about this for a moment. An idea came into your head.
“I’d like to meet him”, you said. “If you called him now, do you think you could get him to meet you for dinner tonight?”
“Are you kidding? He’d drop everything and come running!”
“Alright, then. Call him, and tell him you want to meet him for dinner tonight. Tell him you’ll have a friend with you. You’ll explain when you get there.”
Jennifer called Brian and quickly made dinner arrangements.
“He’s meeting us at Chez Pierre at 7:00”, she said.
“Good job”, you said. Then you had her drive you home. When she dropped you off, then went home to change. You went into your house, and found your parents sitting in the living room. You told them that you’d be going out for dinner, and that you weren’t sure when you’d be home. They voiced no objections, of course. You quickly showered and changed into your best clothes – Chez Pierre was a pretty fancy French restaurant. On a hunch, you packed a change of clothes and your schoolbooks. You told your parents that you might be out all night. By the time you were ready, Jennifer was outside waiting to pick you up.
The pair of you met Brian at the restaurant. You had Jennifer introduce you as her “second cousin”. You scanned Brian’s mind. Brian Gallagher was a decent enough guy, no deep dark secrets or anything like that. He wasn’t secretly an axe murder, or whatever. He was polite to you, and didn’t show any resentment at not being alone with Jennifer.
The three of you had a pleasant dinner together. Afterwards, you decided to play matchmaker, and to make Bridget Higgins a very happy woman. You turned to Jennifer.
Jennifer, from this moment forward, you love Brian with all your heart, and want nothing more than to marry him as soon as possible and to make a happy home for him for the rest of your life. You will want to be the best wife for him that you possibly can. You will want to have as many of his children as you can, and to spend to rest of your life raising them and being the best mother that you possibly can be, and to be the best grandmother you can be if and when that time comes. You will love, honor, respect and be faithful to him until death do you part. You will set aside all thoughts of a career, and find total fulfillment in being a wife and mother. You will be as close to a perfect housewife as you can be. Making him happy will be your goal in life.
Then you turned to Brian.
Brian, from this moment forward, you love Jennifer with all your heart, and want nothing more than to marry her as soon as possible and to provide everything you can for her for the rest of your life. You will want to be the best husband for her that you possibly can. You will want to give her as many children as you can, and to spend to rest of your life raising them and being the best father that you possibly can be, and to be the best grandfather you can be if and when that time comes. You will love, honor, respect and be faithful to her until death do you part. You will set aside all selfish thoughts, and find total fulfillment in being a husband and father. You will be as close to a perfect husband and provider as you can be. Making her happy will be your goal in life.
Jennifer and Brian looked starry-eyed at one another, holding hands across the table.
As an afterthought, you gave them an additional order: Neither of you mention to anyone that it was me who brought you together. If anyone asks, just say that you got together on your own and realized how much you meant to one another.
After dinner, the three of you went back to Brian’s place. You’d decided that you wanted to see them consummate their relationship.
Both of you will be sexually compatible with one another, you thought, and have as happy, healthy and vigorous a sex life as you can.
You followed them into the bedroom. As Brian undressed, you thought about having a spin with him yourself. You decided that it was only fair to let Jennifer go first. You watched as they did the act – you’d never gone all the way yourself, so you learned a thing or two. You didn’t have them bother with a condom – they’d be getting married soon anyway, so that even if Jennifer got pregnant, it wouldn’t matter that much.
Afterwards, they drifted off to sleep in each other’s arms. You went out and watched Brian’s TV and did some schoolwork, drifting off to sleep yourself after a while. When you woke up, it was nearly midnight. You panicked for a moment, and then remembered that you didn’t really have a curfew anymore. You went in and looked in on the two lovers. Brian really did look pretty studly. You bet he’d be ready for another round by now. You roused the pair of them and sent Jennifer off to watch TV. Of course, she didn’t object. Brian was, indeed, ready to go again. It was like nothing you’d ever done before – even Vienna’s attentions earlier didn’t match up to this. Of course, this time you made him wear a condom. You did not want a child just now! You felt really relaxed afterwards, if a little sore. You’d have to “borrow” Brian once in a while – Jennifer wouldn’t mind. You summoned Jennifer in to bed, and the three of you slept together. When the alarm went off in the morning, you had Jennifer go down on you - just the way to start off the day - and then the three of you took a hot shower together. It was a little crowded, but you didn’t mind. You had a quick breakfast, and then had Jennifer drive you to school. You made her promise to tell you how her mother took the news, and had Brian promise to buy an engagement ring for Jennifer that very day.
When you got to home room, Vienna was there. She smiled at you and you winked at her. You looked around the classroom. Did you want to “play” with someone now, or wait until later?
