The Graduation Party
My name is Dave Ryan, and I was at my granddaughter's graduation party. All the family was there; aunts, uncles, cousins and me, Grandpa. Also, Grandma, my ex-wife, Deanna. We both had been married and divorced since our time together.
Out the mouth of babes
I walked into my son Jon's house, and took a seat in the recliner. I got hugs from two of my grandsons, and the star of the party, my granddaughter, Kaylee. I said hello to all, including my ex.
After about ten minutes of chit-chat, my ten-year-old grandson, Aaron, asked, "Are you still married to Grandma?"
"No."
"Do you still love each other?"
I wanted to say yes, but I said, "That's a personal question."
My ex from down the hall said, "We love each other, as friends."
As the party continued, I was able to catch my ex away from the rest of the crowd, and I told her, "I didn't want to embarrass you; my answer to Aaron's question was yes." I Turned quickly and returned to the festivities.
Many friends and neighbors stopped by to wish Kaylee congratulations. I moved around the house, saying, "Hello," to ex in-laws, and other partygoers. We had ribs and beans and egg salad. The younger grandkids were playing in the back yard.
As the party wore on, it became a 'teenage' party. I gave Kaylee her gift, a hundred-dollar gift card, and stayed a little longer, then left for my house.
Back home
I sat in my recliner with a shot of blackberry brandy. I put on some songs that meant something to me years ago. My grandson's question kind of unsettled me, that's why the brandy. A couple of songs played made me feel kind of lonely. I figured I'd read some, before going to bed.
Surprise visit
At about a quarter to ten, there was a knock at my door.
My thoughts were, "Who the hell is that at this time?"
I opened my door and there stood Deanna. She was dressed the same, as she was at the party.
"Come in, come in, Deanna."
She sat on my couch.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"What are you having?"
"Blackberry brandy."
"Oh, you upset?" she asked. She continued, "You only drank that when you were upset."
I got her a glass of wine. I brought the bottles back with me to the living room. We talked about how proud we were of our granddaughter, and our son made sure she was on track with her life.
Deanna took the wine bottle and filled her glass. She started to tell me about the end of her marriage to the asshole that ended our marriage. How he was abusive to her, my son and his sisters.
I poked the bear, "So it wasn't the trade up you thought it would be?"
"No, and I am so embarrassed and ashamed of what I did to our marriage and our kids," Deanna lamented.
"Well, I don't know if I did any better with Judy," I replied. "It was a marriage of convenience. We divorced and when dad died, mom moved to California to live with sis. That left me homeless. Judy took me in, then we decided to get married. I guess we thought we would fall in love with time."
Deanna's last ex, Paul, had been a single father, who "volunteered" to help Deanna run her Girl Scout troop.
"I really don't know what I saw in Paul. When I found out what he was really like, I was too embarrassed to get out. I wanted to talk to you, but you had married Judy and you guys looked happy," Deanna stated, while sipping her wine.
"That was an act, Judy wanted to show you up. We fought a lot. She was a good actor. I think she thought of you as a rival."
"God if I had known that..."
"What do you mean?" I questioned.
"I missed you so much when Paul started to show his true colors," added Deanna.
"Well, you tore me apart with the divorce! It really looked like you missed me. I hated you for years. It is weird to love and hate someone at the same time!"
"Most of that divorce shit was Paul's idea, he had me so much under his power, it was scary."
"Would you say you are cured of what he did to you?"
"I think so... Can't you see? I am trying to apologize to you, you know both of us have been single for twenty years, and we kept in contact because of Jon and the grandkids," Deanna lightly pleaded.
"Yeah, when Jon divorced his airhead first wife, Sarah, I think we both 'came up to bat'. She didn't know what hit her. How often does a dad get custody of a female child?" I interjected.
"Yeah. Then, when Jon married Sandra, after he got out of the Navy, he was working full-time and trying to go to college full-time, while Sandy was still a full-time corpsman at Camp Lejeune. You packed up and drove across the country to babysit Kaylee," Deanna complimented.
"Well, I did what any dad would do, and I was retired," I bashfully responded.
Deanna pointed out that I was fifty-seven when I retired, I was a young grandpa. I had fallen on a staircase. I had enough 'points' to qualify to retire with full retirement benefits. Since I had injured my knee so badly, that I was considered disabled. I got full Social Security disability also.
Deanna retorted, "Well, at least you broke up with that girlfriend of yours! You went with her long enough, that Kaylee was calling her Grandma Carey."
"Yeah," I replied, red faced.
"Well, now that we have strolled down memory lane, why are you here?" I inquired.
Another Surprise
Deanna stood up and walked over to me, and I stood up. I thought she was going to give me a goodbye hug. Well, she gave me a hug and a kiss that reached into my very soul. Our tongues began to dance like they had so many years before. Our simple hug became a passionate embrace. It was like thirty-five years of lost love, lust, yearning and passion, were packaged within that embrace and kiss.
Deanna had been in my place a couple of times when I had thrown birthday parties for Jon. So when we broke our embrace, Deanna, without a word, took my hand and led me into my bedroom. She shut the door behind us. Still without words, she led me into my bathroom.
She began to take off her blouse, I took off my shirt. When we were married, we loved to take showers together. Deanna sat down on the toilet seat. She unbuttoned my pants, and pulled down my zipper, then she pulled down my pants and boxers.
My cock was beginning to rise to the occasion. She took it in her mouth, like so many years ago and she sucked me to a full erection.
