Not Your Typical Mother Ch. 05

... the first step, she saw Gerald standing behind the glass pane of the front window motioning towards the back of the house. She looked to the left of the house to see the side gate to get to the rear of the house was left slightly ajar. She nodded at Gerald through the glass and made her way to the side of the house and through the gate of the backyard fence. Closing the gate behind her she had a flood of memories remembering family barbeques in this very backyard.

The light of the back porch flicked on, and she heard the soft click of the back door closing. She continued around the back of the house to the back porch where Gerald stood with a friendly smile. Gerald was a black man with a shaved head with the faint halo of silver hair tracing a crescent along the back and sides of his head. His beard was mostly white now and framed his angular face in a stately manner. He was tall and thin, but Emily noticed that he had developed a bit of a belly that hung a little over the elastic waistband of his shiny purple pajama pants.

He wore a white wife beater and an unclasped purple bathrobe that matched his pajama pants. His teeth gleamed white in the moonlight as he grinned widely at her approach. He didn't say anything right away, instead motioning for her to join him on the porch. He sat down on the hanging bench that overlooked the backyard and patted the spot next to him.

"Um, yeah, I was, but I'm taking some time off. It was difficult being away from home and I needed to spend some time with family," she lied.

Gerald nodded silently, staring solemnly out over the large, fenced yard.

"You picked up a nasty habit while you were away," he commented.

Emily offered a self-deprecating grimace, nodding as if she were truly ashamed.

"Yeah, I've only had a few and it's only when I'm really stressed. That was my last one and I'm not going to buy another one, I'm so embarrassed you saw that," she continued to lie.

Gerald chuckled softly to himself before responding.

"I ever tell you that I used to smoke?" he asked.

"No, I don't think I ever knew," she replied.

"Yep, Newports. Quit when I was in my late 20's and Tonya got pregnant. Smoked for about a decade," he said.

"Wow, I never would've guessed," Emily replied.

"Which is why I know that you've had a lot more than a few, Emily," he said, looking at her finally.

She offered a sheepish ...
