An Old Man Meets a Young Witch That Changes His Life Forever
It Was Just Another Day.
Since being retired due to deteriorating health reasons, for the past three years with not much to do other than surf the web for any news, current events, or anything interesting enough to read most every day.
Not much changed day after day, with my only income being social security which severely limited any enjoyment in the so-called golden years left in my life.
What made it worse, I was totally all alone since my wife left me, and the only time I ever heard from my children was on a seasonal holiday or birthday.
Yes, they always showed up on their birthdays knowing dad would have something for them.
I never held this against them since I remembered being young myself and back then never thinking that much about family, dealing with the daily responsibilities of trying to make enough money to survive on.
Over the past several years, the only time I went outside of the house was either to mow the lawn, walk out to the mailbox, or go to the store for food.
In this pathetic prison of an existence time seemed to transpire faster and faster as each day passed.
Hell, every day I walked around the house in a t-shirt and boxers and would only put on a pair of shorts to go out to the mailbox.
It was getting close to the fourth of July and knowing this wasn't one of the holidays the children cared enough to stop by and see the old man.
I decided to really splurge and buy something nice for my upcoming dinner alone.
This was due to the fact that even since my wife walked out on me, I still held onto something deep in my heart for her.
Furthermore, the fourth of July had been our wedding anniversary.
Yea, yea, I had married her on the fourth of July for several reasons.
1. I never had to work on our anniversary
2. I would never be able to forget our anniversary
3. I could celebrate gaining and loosing independence on the same day
4. And it didn't matter if we were lovey-dovey or at each other's throats, there were always going to be fireworks that night
So, I decided to drive over to the larger city about 30 miles away and try to find a nice lobster to cook.
I had a couple of nice G&M's Maryland crab cakes in the freezer to have with it.
Walking around the store I looked for several things that would go nice with a lobster and crab dinner.
Wanting to add a couple nice bottles of pinot noir, a couple of sides, and a really nice key lime pie.
While I was looking for some nice wine, I noticed a petite little girl that was looking at wine also.
I was guessing since looking at her from behind she appeared very small and slender.
From the back she was moderately dressed in dark dull goth like colors with very long, very thick, very curly raven black hair that looked almost of a blue tint being so ultimately black.
Her hair hung in ring curls all the way down her back to her waist.
Needing to get to the bottles standing behind her I said; "Excuse me"
She replied; "I'm sorry" stepping aside.
As I was grabbing the bottles I responded; "I'll forgive you this time, although the next person may not be as forgiving as I am."
She giggled; "Very nice of you, I've never heard that one before."
I turned and looked at her and,
Could Not Breath
.
Yes, she was strikingly very tiny, now seeing her from the front.
She looked to be in her mid-20's and had the most beautiful innocently looking angelic face, little pixie like upturned nose, and thin lips I had ever seen.
Her high cheek bones were lovely, she had the most gorgeous pale flawless skin ever.
HER EYES
YES, her eyes were the brightest pure blue ever that sparkled like bright blue diamonds.
She was so tiny, guessing I would say she was 4'6" or maybe 4'8" tall at the most.
I could not notice any detail of her figure due to the total goth appearance, although she appeared intensely erotic.
I had always thought and felt women dressing in a sexy goth style were trying their best to appear as a dark seductive
(Bad Girl)
.
Most times this worked turning many a man's heads.
When she spoke, I noticed her accent seemed almost like Russian.
Taking a chance, I held out both of my hands to greet her saying; "dobryy den, tovarishch"
which meant
(good day, my friend)
.
Her eyebrows sparked up quickly and reached out to shake my hand.
As she touched my right hand, I could swear I felt some kind of strong electrical spark.
Also reaching under our hands with my left hand I lightly grasped her wrist and started gently stroking the inside of her wrist while bringing her hand up and gently kissing it.
Knowing full well, lightly stroking a woman's inner wrist is a fairly unknown erotic zone connecting to the part of the brain that generates desire.
A gentle gasp escaped her lips as she commented; "It's been many, many years since I met a true gentleman, do you speak Russian?"
"No, only a few words I learned while working in Switzerland."
She continued; "Your pronunciation is perfect."
I apologized asking her to forgive a very old man for such bold actions.
I bid her adieu and returned to shopping.
Wandering around a while and then making my way back looking at the live lobsters I heard that little voice saying; "Excuse me."
I inwardly smiled saying; "I'm sorry", stepping aside.
She gazed up into my eyes with those sparkling blue orbs while holding out her hand;
"You never told me your name, I'm Anastasia."
I grasped her hand in both of mine bowing slightly while maintaining eye contact;
"Anastasia, that's a very lovely erotic name, I'm Jim, it's a pleasure to meet you."
Straightening my back looking down into her eyes I gave her the old triangle gaze.
This is when you stare into one eye, and then the other eye, and then down at her mouth two or three times over and over again.
Then to my surprise she used one of my old lines;
"If you're not in a hurry, would you like to get a cup of tea and talk a while"?
"Sure!" We walked to the coffee shop at the front of the store and she ordered a chai tea. When the little beta punk behind the counter with holes in his ears the size of marbles asked what I wanted, I said; "Medium coffee."
He harshly waved to the menu and very sarcastically asked what kind.
This always pissed me off; "Just coffee."
Then he sighed miserably asked me how many shots, my face was starting to turn a deeper red.
Anastasia noticed this stepping in saying; "Plain brewed black coffee medium size."
I looked down at her and then down to the floor saying; "Sorry, these woke-ass children now days really get to me, no communication skills at all."
She giggled slapping me on my shoulder saying; "Yea I know, I'm just better at hiding it I guess."
Sitting down telling her I'm too old school to put up with any of today's woke crap.
Talking a while, starting to get to know each other I added; "Hell to me PC means personal computer not politically correct."
She chuckled saying; "I'm far behind you, to me it means Pre-Christian."
We sat there for about an hour talking and laughing about everything.
She reached out and gently grasped the top of my hand saying she would like to get to know me better.
Turning my hand over grasping hers while stroking the inside of her palm with my middle finger I said; "Ana, if I may call you that; I would love nothing more although I'm old enough to be your grandfather and I must admit some things just don't work anymore."
"I don't care about that; I really enjoy your company. How about you let me fix you dinner tomorrow night, if your available?"
I looked into those deep blue orbs that were glowing like bright blue neon lights and said; "What do you mean available, I don't even own a calendar I'm retired, although tomorrow is the Fourth of July don't you have plans?"
She said no and she lived all alone just like me.
I told her that would be nice, she asked if there was anything I couldn't eat.
I told her as long as it was not any kind of internal animal organ anything was fine.
She said GREAT, asking for my phone.
I gave her my phone and she laid it down on the table with her phone on top of mine, pressing a few things on the screen.
Then she gave me back my phone saying she added her contact information to my phone.
"Wait a minute, I have sharing turned off on my phone", she said; "I know, I just hacked into your phone adding my contact info, I hope you don't mind."
Looking at my contact list, sure enough there it was.
Anastasia Orlov
2357 May Weather Drive
Zirconia, SC 28773
864-269-1111
She asked where I lived because I didn't have any information on my phone other than my phone number.
Laughing, I told her I don't put anything important on my phone ever.
Explaining I used to work for IBM and know how easy it is to hack into any computer.
Telling her where I lived; She paused for a few seconds and then said it would take me about an hour to get to her place.
"When you get onto May Weather Drive go all the way to the end, that's my place.
Oh, by the way, 7PM would be a nice time, and wear something nice since it's a holiday."
I was a little stunned saying; "How is it that basically your address, phone number, and time for me to arrive are all basically prime numbers"?
She gave me the cutest little devilish smirk saying; "Damn, you don't miss a thing, I'm really going to enjoy being friends with you."
Saying our good-byes, I held out my hand, she rose up on her tip-toes reaching up trying to hug my neck whispering in my ear;
"I'm so happy I met you, you're truly a good man."
"Myself also, although remember I'm extremely old and feeble, not much good for anything." She slapped my shoulder saying; "Don't worry about anything like that, I can see you have a good heart."
I put everything back on the shelves and left the store, well at least I wouldn't have to cook.
That night and the next day all I could think about was Anastasia;
