ANOTHER YEAR… More adventures (Part 168o)
It had been three
months since I’d seen either Davo or Leigh and that was at the stock car
championships. With the racing season over everybody had been looking
for a ‘break’. From what I’d been told by the others they would usually
try to get together once a month through the Winter. Beth, Cliffy’s
wife, was the one to organize the party and would find someone to host
it. But, with her being pregnant and due in December she wanted no part
of it so the ‘gatherings’ died. The house that Davo and Leigh rented was
rather unusual and there, of course, was story to go with it. It was
located next door to the post office. The property had, at one time,
housed a church. During a thunderstorm back during WWII the steeple had
been hit by lightning and the the church burned down. All that was left
was the manse where the minister lived. The story that went with the
house went like this… When the church was constructed, it was done with
volunteer labor. Not only was the church to be built on the property but
also a dwelling for the minister. Back in the early days (late 1800’s)
property boundaries were often loosely agreed to. While the house was
being built it was found that it was partially on the adjoining
property. Supposedly, the church building was almost completed so no
modifications could be made on it. That left the decision to fall upon
the house. What the church elders came up with was to narrow the house
so that it fit within their property lines. The end result was a very
narrow house that, from the road, looked more like playhouse than a real
house. Moving on… after the fire there was no money to rebuild so the
property was vacant until the late 50’s when it was purchased by a
‘speculator’. It included the now very run down house. The speculator
managed to wrangle a deal to build a new post office and, on a whim, he
decided renovate the house and to rent it out. Leigh had been living
with her mother in an apartment almost across the street. One afternoon,
Leigh’s mother came home unexpectedly to find her in bed with Davo. The
mother threw Leigh out, on the spot. Davo was still living with his
parents so that wasn’t an option for Leigh. Right under the apartment
was a luncheonette and Leigh had become friendly with the owners. They
knew about the house being renovated and suggested Leigh look into it…
and she did.
After getting the car turned around I made my way to
the parking lot of the post office. It, like just about everything
else, was closed so I could pick the most open spot to stop. Walking the
few feet to the front door of the house I was hoping either one or the
other would be there. I’m not sure how long I stood there knocking on
the door when it finally opened. It was Leigh who answered. As I said, I
don’t know how long I was outside the door but when I stepped inside
Leigh noticed that the whole right side of my coat was covered in snow.
Concerned about having it fall off and onto the floor I didn’t
concentrate on Leigh or what she was wearing stepped back outside and
stripped the coat off. I tried to shake the snow off but was letting
more snow blow inside. Leigh told me not to worry about it. Stepping
inside at that time was the first I’d really looked at her… and I’m sure
my jaw dropped when I did.
I’ve described Leigh in a few other
posts. Being in the 60’s, mores were changing on a lot of things but
this geographic area was still decidedly conservative. Settled in the
1600’s by New Englanders, a lot of their beliefs were still in play.
Leigh and her mother (and sister) were not ‘locals’ and when flower
power came into being in the early 60’s Leigh embraced the concept.
Forgetting her drinking escapades, there had been a few other times
where she’d exhibited little to no modesty at all… the most recent being
when I’d stayed in the same motel room with her and Davo while
attending the stock car championships. So, standing there with my snow
covered coat in my hands, it wasn’t really a surprise to see her dressed
in just a large t-shirt and panties. It was pretty obvious she’d just
been awakened. She asked why I was there and told her the road was
blocked by a snow drift. I don’t think she responded to that but told me
to just drop my coat there and to come on in.
My first
impression was that it was similar to a mobile home, maybe only three of
four feet wider. On the right as I walked in was a narrow staircase.
This first room was the living room and I couldn’t help but notice a
large sofa. Without asking I knew it was to accommodate Dave’s 6’5”
height. Leigh continued through the room and as she did my eyes
gravitated to the hem of the t-shirt she was wearing. With each step it
bounced up a bit giving me a fairly good look at the back of her
panties, including the crotch line. That was always a focus of mine when
looking at a female’s derriere. The next room was the kitchen followed
by a bedroom. But Leigh wanted a beer so that was where we stopped, in
the kitchen. I declined her offer of one and asked to use the phone
which was on the end of a hanging cabinet. I didn’t look at Leigh as I
dialed (remember rotary phones?), concentrating on getting it right.
Elle answered with her question being “Where are you?”. I gave her the
details of how I ended up where I was. When she asked if I was going to
attempt to make it home I turned to face Leigh who was sitting by the
small kitchen table. It was another jaw dropping sight. The back of her
chair was tipped against the wall and she’d placed one of her legs on
the seat of the chair next to her with the other leg going strait out
and down to the floor. My only thought was “Oh my god!”. I won’t say it
took my breath away but it did cause me to pause in answering Elle’s
question. I do remember Elle asking if I were still on the line.
Leigh
was just staring off into space. I turned away from her to get back to
Elle and told her I wasn’t sure as there was no way to know if the drift
had been plowed. I surely didn’t feature being stuck in a drift for the
night although I felt the people in the houses along the road would
take me in. Without a ready answer I asked Elle to hold on the line and
again turned back to Leigh. I asked if she knew where Davo was and she
nodded that she did. But I had to specifically ask where that was and
she, nonchalantly, said he was in a motel somewhere near the County
line. I looked at the clock and saw it was approaching 5pm. Without Davo
there and the strong possibility that he wouldn’t be coming home I was a
bit reluctant to ask Leigh if I might stay over. But, I did tell Elle
I’d call if I ventured out. She closed by saying that my father had
called to say that the snow would end around midnight. That bit of news
sort of pushed me to go ahead and ask Leigh. All I got for an answer was
“Sure… and do you want a beer?”. I didn’t but my answer triggered a
request from her to get her one. Opening the refrigerator was a bit of a
shock as I saw the whole bottom shelf filled with beer bottles. In
thinking about it now, there was probably more beer than food in there. I
pulled one out and handed it to her trying not to be too obvious when I
looked down. The hem of her t-shirt was about an inch above the crotch
line of her panties. The only light for the kitchen was from a fixture
in the ceiling with a white globe around it. In the few seconds I had
for a close up view I couldn’t be sure if her panties were white or an
off white. It, for sure, was a ’stirring’ moment.
To be continued…
