Chapter 22: Sonyas’ Birthday

It was a nice warm summer day. July 20th. Just five days until Sonyas’ birthday. Bob was up and out early. He took the garbage out when he saw Maria was outside taking something into her car. Maria is Sonyas mom. Sonya was just a spitting image of her mother. Maria was absolutely beautiful. Bob thought to himself that genetics runs deep in this family. The women are gorgeous. Bob waved hello to Maria.

“Hello, Bob,” Maria said to Bob.

“Hello, Maria,’ Bob replied. “Say, I wanted to ask you something.”

“Oh, what’s up?” She replied with a question.

“Well, I know Sonya’s birthday is coming up. She has been so sweet for as long as I can remember. Martha loved her.” Maria quickly said, “We still miss Martha after all these years, Bob.”

Bob took a big sigh, remembering his late wife. “Thanks.”

“So, anyways. I would like to get her a gift for her birthday but I don’t want to do something that you and Tony would disapprove of. I just have a friend that makes these neon light signs and he can make one of her name on it. He can make it any color that you could want.”

“Oh, that sounds cool,” Maria said. “She would love pink. If you could make it any color.”

“Yeah. Okay. I can do pink. So, it’s okay then?” Bob asked.

“Sure,” Maria said as she was getting in her car to go to work. “Well, I can’t wait to see this now. She will love it.” She got in the car and waved to Bob. “Bye.”

Bob thought that this could be a good thing for him. He made his way to his garage and brought out the lawn mower. He was going to do some chores before the day got to hot.

He went back inside then to take a quick bathroom break. He wasn’t any more than ten minutes when he went to go outside again and begin his chores when he noticed dark skies coming in. With it, a storm blew through the area. He quickly made his way back to the garage and put the lawn mower away. Then he closed the garage door and went back inside until the storm cleared. The storm however stayed around until noon. Ruining any plans for Bob to do outside work for the day.

Bob took a little nap in the recliner in the front room. The television was on and some random game show was playing. Bob slowly woke up, rubbing his eyes, as he sat upright. He looked out the front window and noticed the sun was shining in. He turned to check the clock on the wall. 1 o’clock. Sheesh, he thought how long was I out? He thought to himself. He got up and went to take a piss in the bathroom. After cleaning himself up, he thought he should check the backyard maybe he can do some chores still otherwise he could just make a trip to his favorite watering hole.

He made his way to his bedroom went to the window and took a look outside. He was just doing a mindless check to see if he could go outside. As he looked outside, he saw movement in his neighbors’ yard. The yard that he could see as plain as day from his bedroom window. He thought it might be Max at first. It became obvious right away that it was Sonya with that jerk boy. He didn’t know the boy’s name, he just knew the boy was a jerk.

Bob stood there as he watched the two young love birds making out. Sonya looked to be wearing a pair of jean shorts that fit very snugly and accentuated her backside very nicely. She had a nice dark blue shirt on, which the boy had his hand shoved up. Bob knew where the boy’s hand was. Bob felt a tinge of jealousy. Sonya had her hands on his shoulders as their tongues wrestled with each other. Bob watched intently as the two young ... lovers? ... that might not be true. He hoped.
