It had been only two days since Stephen finally left his grandmother's house to enjoy his summer vacation from school at Arizona State with his friends. What was supposed to be a three-day visit turned into a ten-day exploration of sex and a redefining of the love shared between grandmother and grandson. Mildred Withersbee was a bit sad to see her grandson go, but he did plan to cut his time short at the beach to return to her early so they could continue with their new-found sexual relationship. In the meantime, all Mildred could do was wait. Then, the unexpected happened.
Mildred was not necessarily watching TV but looking through it as her thoughts were centered on Stephen. Her phone rang, pulling her back to the here and now. She looked at the caller ID before answering and was surprised to see that it was a call from her granddaughter, Stephen's sister, Bethany. Mildred gave an apprehensive, "Hello?"
"Hi, Grandma. It's Bethany. How are you?"
It had been almost six months since Mildred last heard from her granddaughter. The reason for that was that Bethany was a bodybuilder who spent the majority of her days in the gym when not engaged in contests. She had gotten into competitive bodybuilding a little over three years ago, and the deeper she got involved, the more her family was orphaned from her. This is why it was such a treat when she did call. Then again, one couldn't help but wonder if the call was to deliver some less than favorable news, either. Mildred hoped for the best as she said, "Hello, dear. It's been a while. To what do I owe the pleasure of this call?"
"Can't a granddaughter call her grandmother just for the joy of speaking with her?"
"She could," Mildred answered. "Are you?"
Bethany laughed. "Actually, I'm calling for a couple of reasons. First, I will be competing in a contest next week in Tampa, and since Venice is not too far, I figured I could stay with you afterwards, if you're okay with that. Second, Stephen told me he stayed almost two weeks with you and you two had a great time together, so yeah, I'm a bit jealous and I want some 'Grandma Time' of my own."
"Oh, I'd love to have you stay," Mildred told Bethany. "It's been almost four years since I last saw you, dear. I hope you can stay for more than a few days."
"How about an entire week?" Bethany proposed.
"That would be fine," Mildred answered, "and don't you worry one bit about your dietary needs. I'm going to go high protein, low carbs, and lots of veggies. How does that sound?"
"That sounds great, Grandma. I'll give you a more comprehensive list once I arrive. And don't worry. I'll pay for my own food. It can get pretty expensive."
"Oh, fiddlesticks!" Mildred exclaimed. "You just leave everything to me."
They chatted a bit more, then Bethany closed the conversation. Mildred immediately called Stephen. "Hey, sexy," he answered when his phone rang.
Mildred blushed. "You know I can't say what I want to, but that's not why I'm calling. Did you put your sister up to visiting me?"
"I figured it had been just as long since you had last seen her as it had been for you seeing me, Grandma, so yeah, I did. Should I not have?"
"No-no, it's quite alright," Mildred answered. Then, a bit hesitantly, "You ... uh ... didn't tell her anything, did you?"
"Of course not," Stephen assured her. "It's our secret."
"Good, becauseβ"
"Look, Grandma: I hate to cut this short, but everyone's waiting on me for water polo. Call you later tonight?"
"Okay," Mildred responded, and ended the call. She wondered if Stephen was with some sweet, young girl, then decided that it didn't matter. She slid a hand between her legs and began to masturbate. Thirty seconds later and she didn't have a care in the world.
Almost a week later, Mildred received another call from her granddaughter. "Good news," Bethany told her. "I was able to fly in a day early, so I'd really like to stop by and see you if you're not busy."
"Oh, Bethany. That would be wonderful, dear. Shall I pick you up?"
"No. No need. I already have a car reserved," Bethany told her. "I should touch down in Tampa around noon, and it being just seventy-five miles to Venice, I should be there by one-thirty."
"Shall I fix you dinner?" Mildred asked. "I have been practicing my recipes for you."
