CHAPTER 20

Dark Energy Project

Early Sunday afternoon Jennifer began preparing her notes for her paper about dark energy. She was pleased with the depth and scope of the work. She finished her proposal and submitted it to Professor White.

She dreamed about Alice, about touching her and caressing her. She thought of Alice’s breasts compared to hers. She woke up frustrated and aroused. Did these dreams mean she wanted Alice more than Marty? No, she wanted both but she wanted Marty more. She’d had many threesomes in her younger days. But she did not know how to discuss this with Marty. Would he be angry if she told him about them? She sighed and went back to sleep.

The next morning, Jennifer hit the snooze button, groaning. She’d worked so hard on the proposal the night before and wanted nothing more than to snuggle in her bed. She decided to order a cab because she’d gotten up so late.

While waiting downstairs, she saw Eeva was also waiting for a cab.

“Eeva! Where are you going?”

“I am headed to the university to meet Jules. He attended an early breakfast at the East West Center.”

The two women hugged in greeting as Jennifer came near.

“Come share the cab with me,” Jennifer said. “I got up late so we can go together.”

Eeva got into the cab next to Jennifer. “Jules wants to buy you a car before we leave. He doesn’t like that you bike so much. He thinks it’s dangerous.”

“I’m perfectly fine! Though a car would be convenient.” Jennifer had thought more about having a car since Lacy mentioned it, thinking of the additional places on the island she could reach that way.

“What kind of car would you prefer?” Eeva asked.

“I like Jeep and the Chevy Suburban, as they can carry lots of kids,” Jennifer said.

“Are you planning a family soon?” Eeva asked.

“No, but Marty has five kids,” Jennifer said. “Although, thinking about it now…he already has a car and the expense might be put to better use on the computer modeling I’m proposing. I’m very excited about it and would rather put any funding there.”

There was a long pause as Eeva thought about it. “I think that can be arranged,” she said. “Marty wants us to tour the university to help promote University of Hawaii to students wanting to study Marine Science in French Polynesia. U of Hawaii will open a local research lab in Tahiti soon.”

“Marty did not tell me about that yet.”

“I think Jules just received approval from Papeete today,” Eeva said. “But the university has requested this agreement for several years and has been waiting for an answer.”

They reached their destination and paid the driver. Jennifer walked along with Eeva, talking about their plans. Anxiety gripped her as she wondered if Marty would leave Hawaii permanently. No! Marty would not leave his children; thank goodness for those kids.

Plus, starting up a branch of the University of Hawaii is big-time administration duty. Marty is committed to experimental marine science. Suddenly Jennifer felt she didn’t know Marty.
