It is a Saturday morning, and Mom's working. I thought I'd be too, but the homeowner decided to invest in x-rated movies instead of a service upgrade. Gert is looking quite hot today, a black skirt and white ruffled V-neck blouse: patent black alligator belt and patent black 2-inch heels with bows even. I like the way her silver half-moon-style glasses reflect the light of the room and give me a boner the size of Mighty Casey's baseball bat.
"Oh hello Jeff, I thought you were working today?"
"So did I. It turns out the homeowner wanted to invest some money with an online story site called LushStories. I have been there, and wrote a few stories myself."
"Stories about sex, Jeff? You do have a story about me in there, I hope."
"No, Gert I don't, but we could do things that would make me want to write about it."
"We might just have something, Jeff. My sweet half-glasses as your Mom says you call them, were sparkling clean the other morning, save for two drops of eclair custard. Would you have any idea how that happened, Jeff?" she asks me as she stands there, flicking the pearl beaded chain for those sweet sparkling glasses hanging over a bountiful bosom that gets me so hard.
"Well yes Gerty, I do know how that happened as I put those two little drops there."
"I was a little disappointed, Jeff." Her voice does not seem angry or mad or anywhere to being upset.
"I think we ought to sit down and discuss the matter thoroughly," I say.
The way Gert changes in less than a second's time gives me the idea she is quite surprised I would want to talk about it, like she is going to say what she wants, having no idea I'd like to talk about it.
"Do you want to sit in the kitchen over coffee or in the living room?" I ask.
"The kitchen will be fine," she says.
"Now Gerty, the first thing I want to say is that I like you very much, I have since I met you. I would never knowingly do something to hurt your feelings... Now you say you were disappointed? I guess I'm having a hard time figuring out what exactly you were disappointed about."
Gerty looks at me like she is seeing a part of me she may not have known existed.
In more of a statement, she says, "You don't know what disappointed means?"
"Yes, it means to not meet expectations of what was expected, sad it was not as good as one thought it would be, like baking a new kind of cookie and not tasting as good as it might've been cracked up to be, or someone doing a thing another would not have thought them doing."
"You seem to have a very good idea of the word, Jeff." Gert says, with no sound of anger, just her regular voice.
"So Gerty, what were your first thoughts when you saw custard on your half-glasses? Because you see the word disappointed could be taken in two different ways. I guess you could have been rather surprised, did those two drops of custard seem to be symbolic of my liking you, that you know I like eclairs, and me getting your sweet half-glasses clean and spotless?"
She is looking at me in a rather severe way, still flicking the pearl-beaded eyeglass chain, them still moving and the sun still sparkling in spurts upon them. She gets herself sitting even more upright in her chair. Could she be anxious unknowingly knowing what is coming up next from a guy she likes but finds out knows more about life than she first thought? Gerty flicking those beads reminds me of a cat with a big bushy tail thumping it on the floor, thinking about the situation and wondering how to deal with it.
"So Jeff, how could be dissapointed be taken in two different ways?"
"Or were you getting mixed feelings, some happy, like the custard being symbolic of something heavier than liking, thinking about intimate doings that go with that, disappointed that damn it's 'only' custard?"
Gerty is sitting there, sunlight streaming in through the window and sparkling in her sweet halfs. Her expression changes, ever so subtly. She now knows I know a lot more than the wiring code and Harley's.
"I had wondered about this Jeff, why a young guy fancies an older woman and wants to clean her sweet halfs as you like calling them. I think you are somewhat older than your actual years and maybe find girls to be, well not like? That you like a woman who knows a lot more about life than a girl whose biggest thrill is her favorite song on the radio?"
