Oh I hate family feuds, they serve no purpose and cause lots of anxiety. In our case my grand father died and my mother didn't approve that Gran started dating another man. They had a big bust up and Mum abandoned her.
Granddad died when I was about two or three so I have no recollection of him at all. I was seven the last time I saw Gran and my memories of her basically consisted of a very big old lady who gave me mint flavoured sweets.
Mum and Dad divorced when I was fifteen and the long drawn out custody battle was resolved when some council official, let's call her a 'social worker', sat with me in a corridor at the court asked me who I'd prefer to live with. I chose Dad.
I lived with Dad and saw Mum most weeks. I watched as both of their lives progressed with new partners, approving in a big way with Dads big titted younger wife and absolutely hating Mum's bloke. I lusted after my step mother, Amy, as she would walk around in nightwear or robes, I'd regularly masturbate thinking of her and the way her tits bounced around under her clothes on the rare occasions she was braless and got caught by her a few times. Whenever that happened I preyed she'd pounce on me in the way I'd seen in a selection of pornos and stories but that never happened, neither did I ever see her tits naked.
Completely out of the blue one day I was driving along a road thinking the houses looked just like Grans, my mind wandered and I found myself driving slowly back and forth along the street trying to see if I recognised her house. At this time I didn't even know if I was in the right neighbourhood where she lived but it did look very familiar. It was at least sixteen years since I'd been here and lots had changed in that time so I really didn't know.
I saw a man washing his car and got out to speak to him.
"Good afternoon."
"Can I help you?"
"Erm I'm looking for a Margarette Jefferson."
"Who's asking?"
"Terry Jeffer..."
The man interrupted me, "Shit no, not little Terry? I'm Jack, you used to call me..."
"Black Jack, huh fancy that."
He shook my hand with a big soapy hand, "Come on in."
"No, I'm, just passing through and recognised the street, I thought I'd lookup Gran."
"Yeah yeah fine, Mag's lives just along the road but first pop inside and say hello." By this time we were halfway across the front lawn towards the front door. He gestured towards the door to the woman looking from the window and it opened just as we climbed the three steps.
"Well if I live and breathe Terry Jay."
"Oh my god, Lizzy, you haven't changed one bit." Elizabeth is a year or maybe two older than me and we played in the street, along with a few others, we hugged like the long lost friends that we are then stood apart holding both hands. "Well perhaps you have, looks like you've filled out nicely."
"Not looking so bad yourself Terry, married? Kids?"
"No, none, you?"
"Yeah, three all at school."
The three of us chatted for over an hour and caught up with some history, I was offered drinks several times but refused as I hadn't planned to be here.
"I've taken too much of your time, really must be going."
"It's been great seeing you again, come back anytime." Lizzy was again holding both hands as I stepped backwards through the door.
"Sure thing, I'd love to."
"Mags's is three along, with the white planters."
"Thanks again and for all the phone numbers." I patted my breast pocket, "See you soon."
