I would love to hear comments especially from transgender or intersexed ladies at johnnail18@yahoo.com
I got home with my sister after she agreed to go grocery shopping together. Don't get me wrong I have my own place but my sister and I have always been close and we have fun when we are together. We put the groceries away and than she leaned against the counter when she does that I know she has something on her mind.
She said," John, I have been worried about you after your divorce. It has been 6 yrs. and you still don't seem the same."
I looked at her and said," How am I supposed to be?"
She said," You just look like you aren't as happy or something I can't put my finger on it but you seem so stressed."
I said," I don't know what you are talking about."
But in truth I did know what she was talking about and I was dreading it she was playing matchmaker again.
She said," Look, Bill is having a cookout for some of the guys he works with and he said I could invite a couple of people I know."
I said," I don't know I really don't want to intrude."
She said," You aren't intruding besides Bill likes seeing you anyway. Besides that I will not take no for an answer."
I said," Ok, since you put it that way, I will be there."
I looked at the time noticed it was time to go to bed.
I got up the next morning and did my morning chores and noticed how fast the morning went by. I noticed it was close to lunch time and decided to head over to Lindsey's my sister house and I went to the backyard.
Bill smiled and said," I notice you are here for the matchmaking."
I laughed and said," That bad of a secret huh?"
He laughed and said," I know Lindsey go in the house and get it over with."
Lindsey grabbed me by my arm and said," John, this is Becky and Becky this is John."
I looked at Becky for a moment she was a stunner. She stood about 5'10" looked to weigh about 110 lbs., maybe she weighed a little more and she had beautiful red hair that cascaded over her shoulders. Becky smiled and said," You look familiar, I think I have seen you someplace."
I laughed and said," Isn't that supposed to be my pickup line? "
Lindsay said," Becky and I work out at the same aerobics class and she has been living here for about a yr. I thought she was perfect for you."
Becky and I sat down at the couch and she was sitting kind of sideways with her legs together and her hands folded over her lap.
Becky said," I have to say you are a handsome man."
I said," Thanks, I don't know where to begin, I work for the tree surgery company here in town. I have been with them for 15 yrs."
She asked," What company is this?"
I said," Healthy Trees a funny name isn't it."
She said," I saw you on 29th behind that machine and truck."
I said," Yeah, I was throwing limbs in the wood chipper."
She said," It looks dangerous."
I said," Like anything it can be dangerous if you aren't careful. That is why I stand about 4 feet back while throwing them."
Bill yelled that the hamburgers are done and Becky and I went to the picnic table.
Becky sat down beside me and Bill said grace.
Lindsey said to Becky," My you two seem to be getting along swimmingly."
Becky said," Yes, I really like your brother I am glad you introduced us."
I said," Yes, it was nice I am happily surprised."
Lindsey and Becky got into rapt conversation when Bill looked at me.
Bill asked," How is work going?"
I said," Busy enough to keep me out of trouble."
He said," Take my word for it Becky likes that."
Well we finished up our meal and Becky and I kissed each other goodbye. That is how it started.
