"I wish you would sit up, sweetie… and I don't understand what it is you're getting at… I mean why all this talk of my girlfriends… do you have some kind of problem?"

"Yes…" There was a long pause. "I thought maybe you could tell me a few things… like how it will be when I have a boyfriend. I mean… what we'll do!"

John jumped back a little as though he were afraid of her. He could smell the fresh little girl scent of her there beside him, and he felt goose pimples forming on his skin at her bold words.

"Oh Gramps!" Nancy suddenly cried out, lifting herself up and throwing her arms around him, her long red braids flopping behind her. "You've got to teach me… tell me… I've just got to know everything!" Her lips pressed hurriedly on his in a frantic kiss.

"Oh Gramps… please… I'm so ready… the things I've seen!!"

John tried to disentangle himself from his little granddaughter, the harder he pulled on her, the tighter she clung… her arms firmly clasped about his neck.

"Seen??? What have you seen?" he managed to blurt out… worried for a second that somehow Nancy might know about what he had done with her mother, his own daughter. But logically, he knew it was impossible for her to have seen them… they had been miles away from the house… but what had she seen then?

Nancy continued to plant kisses about her grandfather's face. She pushed herself as close to him as possible, nudging her tiny breasts against his chest.

"Uh… nothing…" she replied… "Uh… I mean the animals… on the farm down the road…" After all she didn't want to tell her grandfather all that she had witnessed between Grandma and her daddy, and Uncle Ike!

"Don't be silly…" John felt a very odd sensation in his groin… In spite of himself, he realized that he wasn't pushing young Nancy's tightly clinging body away from him with as much muscle as he could. He suddenly felt drunker than he thought he was, as though something chemical were happening inside him that he was powerless to prevent.
