Substitute dad pt.1

“Mr. Chandler!!!!”
Todd turned at hearing his name called.
A sixteen year old beauty was facing him.
Wholesome good looks, perky breasts, and a tiny waist perched atop a delightful bubble butt, tapering down to a pair of gorgeous gams, aptly displayed by her Daisy Dukes.
Her low slung shorts exposed her hip bones, and her belly shirt showed off her tight stomach. Her belly button peeked out of the bottom of her shirt. She showed off a deep summer tan.
But not that he would notice that sort of thing.
“Hello Nicole, how are you doing?”
“Great! I’m here with my mom. What are you doing here?”
“Well, my friend set me up on a blind date, but I guess I’ve been stood up.”
Nicole made a face.
“That sucks. I’m sorry.” Then she brightened up.
“Why don’t you join us! Mom won’t mind!!”
“Oh, that’s ok Nicole, I don’t want to interrupt your dinner.”
She waved away his protests.
“Oh you aren’t!! It’s just the two of us. I insist!!”
And with that she linked her arm in his and led him through the restaurant.
“I’ll let you in on a little secret, mom’s on the prowl. She’s a cougar! A hot guy like you would be right up her alley!”
He gave Nicole a sideways glance. She was a sweet girl, but like many teens she sometimes lacked a filter between her brain and her mouth.

As they approached her table, he saw a woman who looked to be in her late 30’s, but was trying to look like she was still in her 20’s. To her credit, she was pulling it off. She was dressed similarly to Nicole, had the same high cheekbones, and fine bone structure. She had blonde highlights streaking her hair, and a French manicure.
Definitely dressed for a night of prowling, it seemed a little unseemly to him that she was having dinner with her daughter in that outfit.

Nicole skipped up to the table.
“Mom, look who I found, it’s Mr. Chandler!”
The woman turned to face him and her eyes lit up.
“Oh hello Mr. Chandler, it’s sooo nice to see you again. When was the last time we met?”
“I believe it was parent night Nicole’s Freshman year.” He replied. “And please, call me Todd. It’s nice to see you again Mrs. Morgan.”
She extended her hand to him.
“Actually, it’s Ms. My husband and I divorced. And please, call me Michelle.”
Todd was vaguely aware that she was still grasping his hand. He glanced over to see Nicole grinning at him. She threw him a wink and mouthed to him “Told you”.
She turned to her mother.
“Hey mom, I saw some of the girls heading down the street, can I go catch up with them?”
Michelle pouted briefly. Todd caught himself staring at her full lips, and had a lingering thought.
What would they feel like wrapped around his dick?
He shook his head quickly.
“Sweetie, I thought this was supposed to be girls’ night for the two of us.”
Nicole bent down to whisper in her mother’s ear.
“He got stood up tonight. And Suzanna Johnson’s older sister dated him and said that he’s really packing.”
Michelle turned to Todd and ran an appraising eye over him.
In his late 20’s, he still retained his physique from his college track days.
She cocked her head at him.
“Well it seems my daughter had found better company for the evening. Will you rescue me from a lonely evening?”
Todd sat down at the table and Nicole waved at the two of them and scampered off.
“In all honesty, I don’t think that you’d have any trouble finding a companion this evening.” He told her.
“I didn’t, I found you.” She grinned at him. “Or more precisely, my daughter did. You know, all the girls have a crush on you. Nicole especially.”
Todd blushed at that. It wasn’t exactly a secret around school that the girls found him cute. It was a quiet point of pride for him, but it felt awkward having one of their moms point it out to him.

As he sat down with her, she was aware that they were attracting some subtle attention. He was a single male teacher, she was a divorced mom who had done very well in her settlement. She spent her days playing tennis and doing yoga, and was involved in various social functions. Over the past two years, she had sown her wild oats, and was looking to settle back down. Despite her attempts to be discreet, she was aware that she was gaining a reputation that would make the dirtiest sluts in her daughter’s school blush.

Nicole climbed into her car and headed down the street after her friends. She was on the phone with one of them.
“Hey Janet, where you guys headed?”
“I thought you were at dinner with your mom.”
“I was, but I hooked her up with Mr. Chandler. I ran into him at the restaurant.”
“No way!! Your mom and Mr. Chandler???? But, she’s like …. Way older than him.”
Nicole dismissed her concerns. “Yeah, but they’re both old enough that it doesn’t really matter. Besides, my mom’s still hot.”
Janet giggled. “Do you think they’ll hook up?”
“I hope so.” Nicole replied. “She needs to settle down.”
Although she never brought it up with her mother, Nicole was concerned about her. She was starting to become aware of her mother’s reputation, and it concerned her. She didn’t need to be that way, and Mr. Chandler was a good catch.
“Do you think they’d get married?” Janet asked.
“Who knows?” Nicole replied. “But I think that they’d be good together.”
“But you’d be living in the same house as Mr. Chandler. Girl, you would be so lucky! You could spy on him in the shower!!”
“Eeeewwww. That’s dirty!”
“Don’t tell me you haven’t thought about him that way!!!”
Nicole smiled guiltily. “Well, maybe just a bit.”
“I knew it!” Janet crowed. “If I were you, I’d be doing the same thing.”

The next Monday, Nicole bounced up to Mr. Chandler outside his classroom.
“Hi Mr. Chandler!! How was your date?”
He looked around briefly and asked her to step into his classroom.
“I wanted to say thank you Nicole, but I also wanted to talk to you about that.”
“Sure, what’s up?”
“I know this seems a little odd for me to ask, but how would you feel about me seeing your mom? Dating her, I mean.”
Nicole’s eyes grew wide.
“You want to date my mom? Really?? Do you like her?”
Todd seemed embarrassed.
“Well, I wanted to see how you felt about it first. I know that this could seem kind of awkward for you, and I don’t want you to feel uncomfortable.”
“No, it wouldn’t bother me at all!! I think that it’s great!!!”
She threw her arms around him, and Scott hurriedly disentangled himself. It wasn’t the sort of thing he would want anyone to witness.
“Nicole, you really shouldn’t do that. It’s not appropriate.”
She rolled her eyes at that. “Oh Mr. Chandler, don’t be such a stick in the mud! After all, if things work out, you may be my new dad!!”
“Ummm, Nicole, I think you may be looking a little far ahead, I’m just considering dating your mom, not marrying her.”
That brought Nicole up short.
“Well why not? What’s wrong with her?”
“Nothing.” Todd replied. “It’s just that…”
“Is she too old for you? Is that it? Is it because she’s been so wild since she got divorced from my dad??”
“No, no, it’s nothing like that. See, this is what I’m concerned about, how you would react. I mean, what if things don’t work out?”
Nicole put her hands on her hips.
“Well why wouldn’t they work out? What’s wrong with my mom?”
“Nothing, nothing.”
“So what’s the problem?”
Todd realized that he was in a difficult situation here. Sure, he’d like to get into Michelle’s pants, but he wasn’t sure what else beyond that.
“Nicole, do you love your boyfriend?”
“Yes.”
“Are you going to get married?”
Nicole’s brow furrowed.
“Well, we’re a little bit young to be thinking about that.”
“It’s kind of the same thing for me.”
“But you aren’t sixteen! You’re ….”
“Old?” Todd smiled at that. “Despite that, I’m still not sure about the future. I like your mom, I’d like to date her, but I can’t make any promises about the future.”
Nicole considered that for a moment.
“I guess I can see your point. Ok, I get it. But you should sooo give her a chance!! You won’t regret it!”
Todd laughed.
“I promise I will.”
“Ok, I’ll see you later, bye!!” And she bounced out of the room.
Todd looked at the ceiling and sighed, then pulled out his cell phone and made a call.
“Hello, Michelle?”
“Hello Todd. How are you today?” He heard on the other end.
“I’m fine. Listen, I just wanted to say thank you for putting up with me the other night, I know I kind of got sprung on you, and I was hoping that I could make it up to you.”
Michelle smiled on the other end of the line.
“What did you have in mind?”
“Well, since we’ve already done dinner, how would you feel about a hike? Have a picnic lunch?”
He held his breath. His outdoorsy nature was either a real turn on or turn off, depending on the girl. He hoped he had her pegged right.”
“That sounds lovely. I can’t remember the last time I had a picnic.”
“So how about Saturday? We could meet in Evans Park. Around 11?”
“That sounds wonderful. I look forward to it.”

The next day, Nicole bounced into his classroom again.
“So I hear you’re taking my mom on a hike. That’s a weird date.”
Todd laughed at that.
“What would you consider not weird?”
“I don’t know. Dinner. A movie. A party.”
He raised an eyebrow at that.
“Not that I go to any…..” Nicole murmured.
He laughed at that.
“Nicole, I don’t want you to take this the wrong way, but I don’t really feel comfortable talking about this with you.”
She cocked her head to the side.
“Why not?”
He stumbled a little bit with his answer.
“Well, it’s just … I mean … Well it’s my personal life and I don’t think I should be sharing that with you.”
Nicole leaned forward and propped her elbows on his desk, placing her hands underneath her chin.
