Brothers are out of town, so my Saturday mornings are free for a while”“Mom and Dad adore you, Benny. Anyway, it seems I’m going to be the lady ...f the house for the next week. Grandpa isn’t doing so hot, so they’re leaving in the morning to drive upstate and spend some time with him, maybe get his affairs in order if things look bad.”“Oh, I’m sorry to hear that, Becky. I hope he gets better.”“I think he will. He’s a pretty tough old guy. So, you want to come over about noon?”“I’ll be here! What. He became a friend with privileges. But there was never any assumption. He always waited for Tim to suddenly suggest we go back to our place and even then he would look to each of us to be sure.And this moment reminded me of all that. That awkward moment of me standing naked and nobody knowing what to do or when. He literally came to the rescue by taking the initiative, not to be the first but to get things going comfortably for me. I hadn’t been with him since that night I ended up naked on. Vengefulness has been a part of my nature for as long as I can remember.The refreshments could have been better. I've never been a fan of stale pretzels and greasy clam dip. The conversation was stale and greasy, too. Who were these people, anyhow? They were graying pot-bellied men and their wrinkling, desperately over-mascaraed wives. Certainly, they weren't anyone I had anything in common with any more... if I ever did.From across the room, someone was waving at me. She looked vaguely. I tuned out the music and turned up the brightness on my iPad to compensate for the darkness.I was about a half hour into my studying when I sensed a presence in front of me. In the dim light I could make out a pair of long tanned legs that only ended at a very short frilly skirt. Definitely enough to break my concentration.“Hi”, came a voice from from the blackness above the legs.“Hi,” I responded putting my iPad to one side.The legs then spread and walked forward straddling my lap and sat.
