"Hi, Uncle Joe. It's me, Bonnie."
She didn't have to tell me because I knew her voice. Sweet and soft. My nieces' words flow from her mouth like liquid and when I am in her company I find myself staring at her thick, full lips as they move to pronounce every word. It's just as well I stare at her mouth lest my family see me gazing at her large, youthful breasts. My sister would take my head off if she caught me with anything other than an uncles' interest at a distance in her daughter.
If Sis only knew what thoughts go thru my head but I always show respect for Bonnie. She is a sweet girl, 40 years old and married with three little ones, although she can be somewhat bossy with her husband, just like her Mom is with her hubby. Bonnie's husband, Rob, is a nice guy but very quiet and shy. Unlike his wife's family who are pretty loud and outgoing, Rob can be found sitting in a corner at a party reading a magazine that he's found nearby. I think the guy is somewhat henpecked.
Anyway, here was Bonnie on the phone calling me. I wondered if there was a family crisis. You know, someone is sick or an old relative has passed on.
"Bonnie. Hi, how are you?"
"I'm okay Uncle Joe. Sort of."
"Is everybody in the family okay? How are your parents?"
"Oh, everybody is fine. Listen, I was wondering if I could talk to you. I know you're probably busy."
"No, sure. I mean that would be nice. "
"Can we talk alone? I know Aunt Linda is working and you have that night shift. Could I stop over tomorrow?"
"Sure, Bonnie", I said, "come over about ten tomorrow morning. I'll be glad to see you."
"Great, the kids will be in school. I look forward to seeing you."
We both hung up and I just sat there at the kitchen table. My stomach was suddenly churning and I kept wondering if I was doing the right thing. If my wife and sister found out Bonnie and I were in the house alone together there would be questions without answers, fire and brimstone.
The next morning at 9:30 I was standing at the front window with a cup of coffee watching for Bonnies' arrival. I figured I would meet her on the front steps and we would sit there and I'll have the neighbors as my witness that nothing......what? Why did I even think that anything more than my niece visiting me would happen?
Oh boy. Suddenly, there was her car at the curb and there she was getting out of it and walking up the front walk and here I go out to meet her and oh shit she looks gorgeous.
"Hi, Uncle Joe", Bonnie said as she gave me a wet kiss on my cheek with those wonderful full lips.
"Hi, Bonnie. Why don't we sit down here on the step?" I felt like I was speed talking. My mind was racing ahead of the present.
"It was a long ride here, Uncle Joe, and I have to pee really bad. Do you mind?"
"No, come on in." Oh shit, I thought, she's going in the house.
Bonnie knew where the bathroom was and went running up the stairs. As she did I got a glimpse of her long legs disappearing under her skirt. This was not going to be easy on me. Minutes later Bonnie came bounding back down the steps, her large breasts bouncing beneath the white blouse she wore.
I asked her if she would like a cup of coffee.
"Do you have anything stronger? I need to relax a little. I already had more coffee than I needed this morning getting the kids off to school."
"Would you like a glass of white wine? "
"Sure, that would be great."
Bonnie sat down on the edge of the couch, her tall, tanned frame sitting ridged as a pole. With short, brunette hair and bangs that fell across her forehead, covering her right eye, she could have been a magazine model come to life in my house. My plans of sitting on the porch were falling thru. I went to the wet bar and poured a glass of wine and then figured to hell with it, I need one now too.
I handed Bonnie her drink and sat down across from her and took a gulp of mine. Sitting there with her right leg crossed over her left, her skirt pulled up a little to reveal some of her thigh. My eyes traveled slowly up to meet her eyes as she was staring at me with her glass held up to her lips. The corners of her mouth curved up into a small smile.
"So, what's up Bonnie girl? What's going on in your life that you need to see me?"
Bonnie stared at me a minute, took a long sip of her wine and set the glass down on the cocktail table. She blew out a long breath of air and suddenly a tear rolled down her cheek. Just like that she wiped her face with the back of her hand, took on a defiant look and sat up straight.
"I'm fed up. I'm fed up with taking care of the kids and running errands and washing clothes and cooking meals and doing dishes and Rob not showing interest and." Her words trailed off.
"And no sex", she blurted out abruptly. "No sex. No sex. None. Nada!"
Boy, she wasn't sad. She was pissed.
We both sat there quiet. I didn't know what to say. I was afraid to say anything.
I sat there looking at my niece. Her legs, her breasts, her face, her all of her. This Rob has to be a dick.
"I can't believe Rob is not enjoying you!" Now that was the stupidest thing to say wasn't it? I took another gulp of my wine. Boy that felt better. I could feel the alcohol course down my throat and hit my brain sensors. On an empty stomach it hit me and my mind got looser. Okay so it wasn't such a bad thing to say.
"I don't know what to do to make him want me. I mean he wanted me when we were dating and we had three kids. He just doesn't seem interested."
