That evening we four sat down to one of Karen's tasty meals. Fresh made biscuits, beef roast with those little red potatoes and baby carrots, mashed potatoes and homemade gravy and french cut green beans. I was in heaven.
When we finished the homemade peach cobbler with a scoop of ice cream I cleared my throat.
"Ladies, I have a proposal to make. Sunny you know that your mom is probably gone for good, right?" She looked at me with those big eyes. I could see nothing but sadness when she said, "Yeah dad. I agree. I don't know why she left us but I don't think she will ever be back."
"Our divorce has been official for a few months so I think it's time to find you a new mom. Would you and Cindy agree to let Karen and I start dating to see if we are compatible? And before you say anything, Karen would you be interested in just dating for now and to enjoy being together like a family? Maybe move into a relationship at some point?"
Now let me explain my romantic relationship with Karen up to this point. There was no romantic relationship. Period. She had been there for Sunny and I from the moment she read Sandy's letter on but had not done anything or said one word out of line. No sexy outfits or veiled looks. No lingering touches or phrases with double meanings.
She just took over the domestic chores of a household like she had always been there to ease whatever transition I was in for. She had been abandoned once herself by her ex husband so she knew of the hurt, the lonely nights that I would have to endure. She knew that for Sunny and I to heal would take time so she gave us that.
I could tell that Sunny had begun to heal quicker than I had but I didn't realise to what extent until I overheard her and Cindy talking that morning.
All I heard was a resounding "YES!!" The two girls looked at each other and slapped their hands in a high five. Karens face got very red and she looked embarrassed. She stayed silent as she just looked down at her plate and said "yes" quietly.
The following Friday night I picked Karen up for our first date. She still had her home so as I pulled into her drive I realized that I had no idea what to expect from a 'dressed up' Karen. I had never seen her in anything but work clothes or casual wear around my house.
She was beautiful. It was well into summer by then so she wore a fairly short, almost down to her knees, one piece tube style dark green dress. Her breasts were held in place only by the top of her dress and nothing else, I could not see a panty line either. The silver four inch heels put her to just over six feet, the same as me. She completed the outfit with minimum of makeup, a small pearl necklace, a lace shawl and tiny silver clutch that matched her shoes. I couldn't tell if she wore earrings because she wore her hair loosely around her face.
I was gobsmacked. All I could do was stare as I held the door for my beautiful date. I was treated to a generous helping of the top of her hose then some bare thigh as she sat down in the passenger seat. I still couldn't tell for sure but I suspected that she was pantiless also. I continued to stare at her until she looked up and said, "do I look okay John? You haven't said a word."
I came out of my dazed state quickly then. "Karen you are beautiful. You absolutely are the sexiest woman I have ever seen. Sorry but I was just speechless for a second."
She giggled as she said in a nervous whisper, "Thank you John." Then in a louder voice, " Well then, close the door and let's go."
There were several restaurants that I could have chosen but most of them had memories of dinner with my wife attached so I chose a lounge that was a bit further away. They had good food I had heard but most importantly they had a more intimate atmosphere. Tablecloths with subdued lighting and candlelight at the tables. A perfect romantic setting for our first date.
I wanted to get to know Karen better but we kept the conversation light as we ate and while she relaxed with me. She admitted that she loved Sunny and that she had been so helpful when her husband left her. "She and Cindy were already best friends but Sunny kept telling her that they could be sisters and she would share her dad if she wanted. Even at her young age Sunny always seemed more mature than other girls her age."
I knew what she meant. My daughter had really been a rock for me also but I wanted to know Karen better.
"Karen tell me about you."
"Well there isn't much to tell. I probably married too young but I felt like I was in love. I was still in high school when I got pregnant with Cindy. He was four years older than I was. Our parents wanted us to marry so they could have a grandchild and like an idiot I said yes. I should have stayed single and given Cindy up for adoption but I was still a kid."
