Just as I took a drink of my beer I had just got out of the fridge I hear a knock on the front door of the house, then I hear the front door open and close, then I hear, "Hello dad."
"Hi, what's up babe?"
"I was wondering if I could talk to you about Ted."
"Yes sure come on in and have a seat. Do you want a beer since I'm here?" indicating that I'm still next to the fridge.
"That sounds good, thanks."
I opened the fridge and got a beer out and opened it, then handed it over to Beth my daughter-in-law, just as she got seated in a chair at the kitchen table and then took a seat next to her, "Thank you dad."
"No need to thank me. At least I have someone to have a drink with me from time to time. Since Marie's passed on, Ted doesn't come around and have a beer with me as much anymore."
"That's because he'd rather stay home and play those damn video games all the time. That is what he's doing now and won't give me the time of day either."
"He's not watching the game that he and his mom used to all ways watch while she was alive?"
"No, he quit watching those all most right after she died. I think he watched like maybe two games and then he just quit and started playing those computer games, which are on line that he has to buy at the store and then pay a membership fee to play it and pay for the updates every month."
"Sounds like a gimmick to me just to get your money. Why does one pay a membership fee after you buy it and then pay for updates that sounds like, should be in the membership fee to me? None of that makes any since of any kind to me."
"When I asked him about all that, he told me he would explain it later to me but he never got off the game to explain it to me, and if I keep asking him he tells me to just leave him alone about it. Heck he doesn't even go to bed when I do any more and as soon as he gets home from work, he starts playing the games and sleeps in till he just has enough time to get dressed and leave, where he used to get up, eat breakfast, dress, and at least spend a little time talking to me, before leaving but not since he started playing those games."
"I can try to talk to him about his actions and all but I can't guarantee anything. Ted and I haven't ever been as close to each other as him and his mom were. As you know his sister Joy and him mix like oil and water, so there's no asking her if she can help out with him."
"I noticed just before the funeral there at the funeral home the day before and after the funeral here at the house they couldn't get along for anything. He just made a comment to me once and she got all bent out of shape and when I said something to her about he was talking to me, she kind of jumped back at me for not standing up to him but like I told her, he didn't say anything wrong and it was just a comment he made."
"Yes I remember it. I tried to defuse it but Joy just had to keep on but Ted did too, before he finally did as I asked him to do and leave the room for a spell. Joy never has figured out when to drop something and let it go or how to stay out of other people's affairs."
"I noticed she kept on about it even after Ted left the room and I have no idea as to how long she went on about it, because I needed to leave the room by that time, to get away from her myself."
"I got up and left the room after you did and she was still going off. She didn't know I had left the room and she was talking to me about it, which I done knew about it because I was in the room when she first went off at him."
"After that I knew I could never go to her to talk to her about Ted but you, and mom, are the only two I knew I could talk to about him with. Really it was more you than mom, that I could talk to because, her and Ted, were 'doing their thing'."
"Yes I hope so. I love the boy because he is my son but he was his momma's boy for sure. When Joy was younger she was daddy's girl but after she got old enough to notice the boys, she left dad high and dry so to speak."
"She was barely eighteen when she married wasn't she?"
"Yes she was like a month in when she told us she was getting married. You and Ted married when he was nineteen but he is one year younger than Joy."
"There is like two months difference between Ted and me."
"Your birthday is before his if I'm right?"
"Yes it is."
"What else is bothering you that Ted is doing babe?"
"I can deal with the other things. The thing about him being into those games and not paying any attention to me and everything else around the house that he needs to have a look at. I told him last week that I'm having trouble with the lawnmower not running right and he just said okay when I told him. He still hasn't taken a look at it. I got it out yesterday to try and mow the yard and I couldn't even get it started."
"Did you tell him about it again?"
"Yes and he told me to leave him alone about it."
"Okay I'll have a look at it in the morning."
"I hate that you have to take time out of your day to do something that he could do."
"I'll even take time out to have a talk to him after I have a look at the lawnmower."
"I hope he doesn't get all upset that I said something to you about what all he's doing."
"He better not but he won't know you said anything if I can figure out a way to talk to him, without giving you away about saying anything to me."
Beth and I sat and drank another beer while visiting with each other and I noticed, she was wearing cut off shorts that had about two inches of leg left to them and they were hip hugger type. The T-shirt she had on was short sleeved with some picture of a singer on it, that I didn't recognize and I could see she had a bra on under the shirt. I'm not sure about Beth's tit size but they looked to be about a C cup if not bigger.
I've been checking Beth out for a little while now, which I put it to her and me hanging out together so much before Marie died because Marie would be out with Ted some place, supposedly shopping for clothes either for herself, for Ted, or both, sometimes. Beth would come over just as Marie would be leaving the house or shortly after. I got to where I would either sit and wait for Beth to get here to the house when Marie said her and Ted was going to go shopping or doing whatever, and if I had a small job around the house I was working on, I would keep working on it till Beth showed up, and if I needed to go after supplies, I would just sit and wait till Beth got to the house, which then her and I would go to the supply place.
The next morning I got up and went over to Ted and Beth's place and knocked on the door and stepped in to find Beth coming from the couch, in the living room, "Hay babe, how's it going today?"
"Same oh. Same oh. Ted is in the den playing his games again as usual."
"Okay. I'll have a look at the lawnmower first before I talk to him."
"Okay right this way dad." turning to lead me through to the back door that leads to the garage.
As Beth led the way to the garage door in the kitchen, I noticed she had on a tank top T-shirt with short shorts on, and the shorts were see through, which I couldn't see any panties on her at all, of any kind. Before Beth turned her back to me to lead the way, I could see she had no bush due to the camel toe she had and the backside of her shorts were tucked up in her ass crack, most of the way, and a very small portion of her ass cheeks were exposed below the leg opening. Seeing Beth dressed like this made my dick twitch in my snug jeans that I had on as I followed her through the house.
When we got to the garage and I kneeled down next to the lawnmower to check a couple of things out before I even tried to start it, "Do you want a beer dad?"
"Yes that sounds pretty good babe."
As I checked out the couple of things, Beth went over to the back wall of the garage and under the work bench she bent and opened a small fridge and pulled out two beers, opened them, then stepped back over toward me, "Did I do a good job on cleaning the air filter there dad?" as she handed me a beer. I couldn't help but look at the camel toe that came into view as she bent over and out the corner of my eye, I watched her as she stepped back toward me.
After swallowing my drink of the beer, "Yes you did a very good job of it."
With the air filter and cover off, I made sure that the carburetor was getting gas to it, and then I put the filter and cover back on. As I kept checking things out and trying to start the lawnmower with no success, I would take a drink every little bit till I was at my wits end as to why the lawnmower wouldn't start and run, "I guess we'll just load this thing up and take it to a garage up here, where they work on these things."
"I don't know if we have enough money to get it out of the shop dad."
Don't worry about it babe. I got this, this time. I'm going to use the bill when I talk to Ted, after we get back." tossing the empty bottle in the trashcan.
"Do you want another beer now or after we get back?"
"When we get back babe." pushing the button that opens the garage overhead door.
Beth closed the overhead door behind me, and then as I loaded the lawnmower up in my pickup, Beth climbed into the pickup on the passenger side, then sat and waited for me to get in the driver's side.
With the lawnmower dropped off at the repair shop and Beth and I back at her and Ted's place, she got us both a beer, and then I went into the den, "Ted I need to talk to you."
"Okay, pull up a chair there and we'll talk."
"No we won't. I want to talk to you out there in the other room." the room smelled like booze had been spilt on the floor, and there was trash all around where Ted sat and played on his computer, as well as beer bottles laying around and the trashcan spilling over.
"I'm in the middle of a war here dad."
"You're going to be in a real war in a moment if you don't get out here, and then you may be in one yet before this is over with. Now take the kill and get out here now." in a very stern voice so that Ted knew I meant business, "Plus it stinks in here too. You should take the time to clean all this mess up and air it out; it smells so bad in here."
Ted gave me that disgusted look, "Okay. Okay. I'm coming damn." then he did some mumbling under his breath that I didn't hear.
When we were seated at the kitchen table I laid the ticket down as to what was going to need to be paid to get the mower out of the shop, "What's that?"
