As a kid growing up in a typical suburb of Sacramento, I never thought much about my classmates who had divorced parents. In our highly conservative age-based community, it was rare for the 1970s, at least in my family's circle.
Sure, there were a few kids in my elementary class whose parents had split up, but maybe three or four out of thirty of us. Julie moved into our neighborhood after her parents split, about the second or third grade as I recall. We went to school together through high school.
After our first year of college Julie and I found ourselves home from different universities, along with several of our classmates. We all had summer jobs to make money for the upcoming school year. Soon a group of six of us started to hang out nightly at different homes. There were four girls, my buddy and co-worker Mike, and me.
I was not into any of the four girls although I had gone to Senior Prom with one of them, Christie, but just as friends. There was also Laura, Jana, and, of course, Julie.
Most nights we would hang out at Julie’s house as they had a nice backyard with a covered patio. Her mother, Alyssa, was a young petite woman, just forty years old, having had Julie when she was only twenty-one. Alyssa allowed us to bring booze to her house and drink beer and wine as we talked the night away.
To be honest, Alyssa was far cuter than her daughter, or any of the other girls. She was about five-two, a thin size four, with perfect “Farrah” feathered light brown hair in 1981. But her best feature was her eyes as they were dark brown and they always seemed to sparkle. Not having much of a bosom Alyssa never wore a bra after work, usually just in shorts and a tank top.
I’m sure she had noticed Mike and me eyeing her rock-hard nipples night after night, but she never said a word or gave us the stink eye. I was sure she liked the attention. Mike and I would leave each night and comment on Alyssa’s lack of clothes and her perfect little “Hershey Kiss” titties.
Alyssa worked as a dental assistant and had begun to date her divorced dentist boss during the prior year. He was a nice guy, but almost ten years older than her. I had always figured she was interested in his money, thinking such a hottie could find a better, younger guy. Whatever.
One night the girls had the idea to have a BBQ the next night. I volunteered to bring and cook the burgers, while Mike and the girls picked the side items they’d all bring for the potluck.
The following night the BBQ was going well, drinks were flowing, and Journey was blasting from Mike’s boombox. I had just finished plating the burgers for the group to start assembling their burgers when I excused myself to go into the house to use the restroom and wash up a bit.
I ran into Alyssa in the kitchen as she was pouring herself another glass of Blue Nun wine before heading out to the patio to join the others. She asked if I needed anything and I said, “Yes, can I get a washcloth to wash my face and arms with after standing over the grill?”
“Sure, let me show you where they are,” she said innocently. I followed her down the hall. As I did my eyes were glued to her fine ass. There was a mirror at the end of the hallway, and she could see my gaze upon her perfectly rounded butt cheeks. “Scott, what are you looking at?” she said coyly.
Embarrassed and not knowing what to say, I said nothing. And then she asked again. “Uh, nothing Alyssa,” I stammered.
