I had been sending flowers and giving gifts to this group since I was 8. Valentine's Day, birthdays, Christmas and sometimes just because. On my 18th birthday, I propositioned them all, as a group. It led to these events
.
Friday night, Janie wanted to go out to eat. We went to a country style restaurant that had catfish and country ham on the buffet Friday nights. I did the things my mother had taught me: open the door, compliment her hair, tell her how nice she looks, don't be looking at other women. Okay, maybe my mother didn't teach me that, it might have been Uncle Frankie. He specifically said that if you hold the door for a lady, you can look at her ass when she walks through the door.
After we finished our meal, Janie went and got a piece of chocolate cake for dessert. She asked me if I was going to get anything and I told her bluntly "I'm planning on you being my dessert." She blushed a beautiful shade of red.
"You're so sweet. Acting like you actually want to have sex with me."
"Janie, there's no acting. A long time ago I told you that you smelled good enough to eat. I didn't know what that meant then. I do now. And you smell good enough to eat. And I hope you'll let me."
"I'm old enough to be your grandmother."
"You are. But you're
NOT
my grandmother. And if my grandmother smelled like you, I'd want to go eat at her house all the time."
"Neil, this is wrong. I'm entirely too old for you. You're a kid. I have a granddaughter your age. I can't do this."
"Janie. I gave your granddaughter a graduation present last year. You don't have to do anything, just don't stop me from doing what I want."
"I can't promise that until I know what you're trying. But we can go to my house and negotiate. At least I'm not like Melody and starving you."
"You're a lot like Melody. She thought it was
cute
for me to act like I wanted to do anything with her."
"At the office we figured you just wanted Gertie. We've seen the way you look at her."
"I've tried to always treat y'all equally. I've known her as long as I've known my mother. Mom, Aunt Gertie and Aunt Evie. They've been in my life longer than I can remember. Except for Melody, all of you that work with my mom have. Gertie has been working for the farm since shortly after her divorce. I hired her when I was 12 and Uncle Frankie said her paycheck was coming out of MY money and after she worked there 2 months he said that her check could come out of the farm's money."
"You could have hired me. We should pay the bill and go to my house. I don't want to keep you out too late."
"I've already paid
and
tipped. And besides, you know nothing about farming. So I would have had to teach you what I meant about some of the terms. If you're willing to work for me, you can start next week. Are you going to invite me in when we get to your house?
"We'll see when you walk me to the door. Do guys still do that? This is the first 'date' I've been on with a guy in more years than I want to admit. But to be honest, it's pretty much a foregone conclusion at this point."
I drove her home and got out of the truck to open the door for her. When we got to her door I kissed her. And she kissed back.
"Would you like to come in for a drink? I'm scared to death about what you want and I know I shouldn't do thi...."
I stopped her protesting with a kiss. A gentle kiss on the lips. "Janie, you talk too much." She didn't say anything so I kissed her again. This time, she kissed me back. Harder than I had kissed her. Then she pulled me closer and kissed me with her mouth open. I kissed, licking her lips and then she stuck her tongue in my mouth.
"I think we better go inside before we shock the neighbors", Janie said breathlessly.
When we got inside she started to put her arms around me. And stopped. She put her hand on my chest then moved it down to my hip. Then she pushed me back a step.
"Neil, why are you out with me? You should be able to get any girl you want. Not flirting with wrinkled old women. You don't have to keep up the pretense, we're alone now. No one can see us."
"I'm not flirting with any wrinkled old woman. I'm flirting with you. Even if it is a foregone conclusion. If I could get any girl I wanted wouldn't that include you? If I could get any girl I wanted, why did I never have a real date until a month ago? Why was I a virgin until a month ago?"
"From what Melody said, it sounds like you're a fast learner. I would say you should ask my granddaughter out, but I'm worried what you'd do with her."
"I asked her out 2 or 3 times. She wasn't interested. One time she turned me down because she had to wash her grandmother's cat."
"Maybe she's not as smart as I thought she was. Must have been the other grandmother, I don't have a cat."
"Let's forget about her and think about why I wanted to go out with you. I wanted to see if you smelled good enough to eat all over. If I could be so bold as to unfasten this dress I can make my decision."
I looked into her eyes and kissed her. I kissed her chin, I kissed her nose, i kissed behind her ears and kissed her neck. I kissed her upper chest and around the neckline of her dress. When I unbuttoned the top button of her dress with my teeth, she grabbed my shoulders. I continued down the front of the dress unbuttoning it as I went. I didn't unfasten the belt around the waist and when I reached the hem, the belt was the only thing keeping it closed.
"So far, everything smells fantastic." I kissed her where her pubic mound would be through her half-slip. " everything still smells fantastic.
"Neil, if you're going to undress me, I want you undressed too." Her fingers fumbled as she undid my shirt and unfastened my pants. "Oh God. You're beautiful."
"So are you. Grey eyes, perfect mouth, beautiful ears, 34-30-39 measurements. Beautiful. But you don't see it because you see yourself every day. You know all your flaws. Even the ones that are invisible to me."
"Neil. I'm terrified and turned on at the same time. This is wrong in so many ways and I don't want it to affect our relationship or my relationship with your mom."
"How did mom treat Melody? Mom didn't look like she disapproved of me asking y'all out. She's heard me ask you out on dates before. She's heard me flirt with you even before I knew what I was doing was flirting."
"If you're sure it's what you want, we can go to the bedroom. With the lights out. I don't want you to see the wrinkles and the fat and the cellulite and the scars."
"If you smell good enough to eat, can I?"
