Dandelion

***

An older man has a chance encounter with a young 
castaway. (M/F-teen, 1st, rom)

***

How strange it felt to be lying next to such a young 
temptress, after years of lonely dejection. The waif 
had entered my life unexpectedly, with loud attire and 
greased hair that was strangely out of place for the 
delicate features it crowned. Lost and lonely too, she 
fronted an indifferent attitude and a vehement distaste 
for authority. One third my age, her speech was filled 
with colloquialisms I’d never heard of, while her 
mannerisms reeked of immaturity. 

Beneath her oppressive front, however, I could sense 
her fear. Leaving the remnants of her tattered 
relationships with her peers, she had determinedly set 
out in search of herself, only to find a world of 
coercion and ambivalence. I had found her alone at the 
grease burger dive, having spent the last of her 
worldly savings on caramel colored bubbles, fumbling 
with some cheap jewelry that dangled from her dirty yet 
delicate neck. There were tears still forming in her 
eyes. 

I sat across from her with my normal complement of the 
morning rag and a pink bubbly concoction that vaguely 
resembled the homemade lemonade on the menu. I glanced 
at the forlorn figure from time to time in sympathy, 
seeking the redeeming attributes in her behaviors with 
futility. The sport page held far more allure once it 
was encountered, and soon all of my attentions were 
focused there. I never saw her slide in the booth next 
to me, and was quite unaware of her presence until she 
burped noisily. I glared at her, molested and somewhat 
surprised. 

"I need some money," she blurted abruptly.

Ignoring the request to return to the latest scores, 
she shook my arm pensively, and tried to capture my 
gaze in her own desperate one.

"How much?"

"Hundred or so."

Not knowing her desperation I retorted; "Go ask your 
Mommy." That hurt her and she began to withdraw. 

"I’ll fuck you!" She was reaching.

"IRS beat you to it kid, excuse me." I started to fold 
the paper.

"I’ll scream rape."

"Let me plug my ears."

She muttered something that almost made me blush, 
effectively dispensing the last vestiges of my 
sympathy, and I stood as best I could to seek refuge at 
the park just around the corner. Maybe my local 
chatting companion Mabel would be there, and we could 
share our wisdom whimsically as her wiener dog tried to 
hump my leg unceremoniously.

"Look Mister; I’m hungry and tired, and I just need a 
little help."

"That’s better," I breathed while still attempting to 
get around her. "All I got is a five." I took out my 
wallet and emptied the bill that I had been saving for 
a movie later in the week. "Get a bite and call 
someone, OK?"

"I ain’t got nobody..." Her voice trailed.

"Good song - Santana, isn’t it?"

Her smile was genuine. "Yeah, thanks."

"Despite dating myself while robbing my recreational 
resources in less than a minute, I felt relieved as she 
moved her legs and allowed me to escape.

Smiling at her briefly, I headed for the park bench 
that was all too familiar, unaware that she was just a 
few steps behind me. Mabel wasn’t there; probably had 
to bake something for the church. Musing it was a good 
thing since I was scantily clad in walking shorts and 
her dogs’ claws were never trimmed. 

Glancing towards the little house that I owned across 
the noisy street from the park, I recalled I had 
virtually raised my daughter alone there after my 
betrothed left for a stud with a much higher bankroll. 
There was comfort in its worn stucco and creaking 
hardwood floors. 

With a sigh, I crossed the busy street and walked 
across the small yard to the comfort of the enclosed 
porch where I had spend many an evening watching the 
cars scurry past and the children playing on aging 
swing set that was raised shortly after I set up 
housekeeping. The little waif stood on the sidewalk 
watching me; not unlike a lost puppy in search of a new 
home. 

After watching her for a few moments, I slid into my 
favorite lounge chair and gestured for her to come on 
up. There was enthusiasm in her steps. An offer for a 
real soda and some home made cookies enticed her life 
history with such fervor that I found myself at a loss 
for words. She needed a refuge to rebuild her self-
esteem, and she needed discipline to cope with the many 
personal defeats that had previously all but destroyed 
her. 

Not about to enter into forbidden territory, I coaxed 
her parent’s phone number from her, and while she took 
her first shower in days, I gave them a call. It was 
brief, and the message was quite clear; dispelling any 
doubts I had in her blatant honesty. Semi-educated, and 
as stubborn as my great grandmother, Anna had literally 
alienated herself from her family and was learning that 
life was far more than trend setting attire and Hip Hop 
musicians. I could feel her desperation as she came 
from the shower wrapped only in a towel, and knew what 
she sought even before she vented.

After watching Anna devour two man-sized TV dinners, 
three large tumblers of milk, and the remnants of the 
spaghetti I’d thrown together during the previous 
weekend, I set her up as comfortably as I could in the 
tiny bedroom that used to be my daughters, and stumbled 
to the sofa with a glass of wine for my daily dose of 
sensationalism compliments of the local news network. 

Despite the clips designed to hold my attention through 
the battery of commercials, I found my thoughts 
straying towards an uncertain future with Anna, and the 
lifestyle changes her co-occupancy would evoke. Barely 
able to support myself on my meager retirement, the 
only apparent resolution was for my young house guest 
to accept her immediate initiation into the working 
world and her share of household responsibilities. I 
could offer her little outside of the security of a 
caring environment which would probably be far too 
little for a rebellious cast away.

The bed beckoned comfortably, and I slid between the 
sheets with my mind in overdrive. As the reassuring 
waves of rest overtook the remnants of my minds chaos, 
the vision of angelic innocence appeared at the 
doorway. Stray rays from the street light illuminated 
the delicate creature wrapped only in a tattered white 
sheet, stirring the sleep from my eyes and a nagging 
warmth in my groin. 

She slid beneath the covers wordlessly, and within 
moments she was asleep with her armed wrapped around my 
torso and her head tucked securely in my armpit. A kiss 
to her forehead as my hand moved to her soft and 
slender forearm, and I, too, forgot the world for one 
more night.

When I awoke, Anna was gone, the sheet she wore still 
crumpled beside my bed. The faint smell of ham and eggs 
drifted through the air, as I rose and showered to 
confront her with the financial dilemma her presence 
evoked. The kitchen was empty; but there was a warm 
breakfast with a small dandelion on the plate and a 
scribbled note on a paper towel that stated simply: ‘C 
U LATER.’ 

Perhaps Anna had figured out from her meager 
surroundings and the lack of food in the refrigerator, 
that there were much better places to be. It was one of 
the best hand and egg omelets I’ve had in years, and 
her bed was neatly made with a several dandelions 
bunched on the middle, but the thought of her leaving 
without a word saddened me. 

She was young and pretty, and she’d do well I thought, 
as I threw the laundry into the machine a brought out 
some chicken to thaw from the freezer. It wasn’t until 
I pulled the clothes out of the dryer that I recognized 
her tattered skirt and blouse. Maybe there weren’t 
better places to be. 

The video store just down the street had been looking 
for help for several weeks until I walked in and 
offered my services. The work was easy and the pay a 
notch above minimum wage but the owner was desperate 
and so was I. Starting immediately, I tagged a note on 
the door letting Anna know of my whereabouts and 
struggled to absorb a multitude of terminologies and 
new technologies. One of the perks was free movies to 
view and the hours offered minimal conflicts with my 
normal routines. 

By eleven in the evening, I was relieved to go through 
the lock down procedures and stagger home on feet that 
had doubled in size. She was waiting on the porch in a 
waitress outfit she had borrowed from one of her new 
co-workers. A half eaten pizza lay in a box beside her 
along with several bags of left-over entrée’s she 
rescued from their apparent demise in the dumpster.

Anna began to babble of her day and her dreams until I 
stood her up and hugged her with all the love that 
welled up within. As we withdrew, a silent tear graced 
her cheek, and words were lost. Staggering into the 
shower, I began to lather my aching limbs, unaware that 
she had disrobed and snuck in to the steaming refuge 
behind me. Her gentle hands began to lather the soap 
residue on my back as gentle kisses followed down my 
spine.

Turning to behold the firm, fragrant waif whose eyes 
glowed with love, I found the strength that comes from 
a thousand lonely nights filling my hands, as I 
caressed her delicate lines and explored her intimate 
recesses. She orgasmed almost immediately when my 
trembling hands cupped her vulva; she was a virgin. I 
hurriedly left the steamy stall ashamed and frightened. 
Locking my bedroom door as I hurriedly entered, I slept 
alone, chiding myself for violating the confidences I 
was trying to create.

Sleep did not come easily that night, and the steady 
rainfall that heralded the morning was a mere precursor 
to one of the worst days of my life. Anna was gone, her 
bed never slept in and a one word note on the kitchen 
table that merely proclaimed ‘Sorry.’ I searched for 
her everywhere but she was unheard of; a shadow that 
had swept through my life like a spring breeze and left 
without closure. 

By the time I entered the video store, I was tired and 
saturated but determined not to fail as I had so 
recently in my own home. Another sleepless night 
followed my labors, and the dawn found me searching the 
local establishments with new fervor but to no avail. 
By the time I stumbled onto my porch, I had accepted my 
failure and vowed never to ride the "rescue" train 
again. That was until I glanced across the street and 
spied a huddled figure on my favorite park bench. 

Fearing it was Mabel, I hurried across the wet 
pavement, getting doused unmercifully by several cars 
as they raced through the puddles. Approaching the 
huddled figure, I paused when I noted the leg humper 
was nowhere in site. That is when Anna turned to face 
me with such overwhelming sadness written on her face 
that me knees almost buckled. Recovering quickly, I ran 
to her and swept her tiny figure into my lonely arms. 
The attempt to carry her home in my arms failed 
miserably within the first few slippery steps. 
Undaunted, she grabbed my hand and we raced through the 
park and onto the patio. Between tortured breaths we 
kissed for an eternity, melting our fears with the warm 
passion we shared. 

I pulled her through the front door and into the 
shower. As I detached the house key for her to use, she 
fumbled through her pocket and thrust a handful of 
wilted dandelions into my face. As we traded tokens, 
she excitedly babbled of the loneliness she felt and 
the significance of the wilted flowers that followed 
her everywhere. For her, dandelions were beautiful, 
rugged, and enduring; able to adapt to most any 
environment and make the best out of it. 

With a knowing smile at my response, I cranked on the 
hot water and slowly began to uncover the beautiful 
charms hidden beneath the dripping wet rags. She was 
beautiful and sensitive despite what the cruel world 
had thrown at her. 

Exploring her tender beauty under the steamy spray, I 
let my mouth descend first on to the hardened nipples, 
once erect from the cold, but now engorged with 
anticipation before descending down on to the sensual 
lips that my hands had anxiously caressed several night 
earlier. The sweet nectar of her youth flooded my mouth 
with just the lightest caress of my tongue, and I 
continued to suckle her intimate treasures until her 
knees buckled from orgasmic overload. 

From her kneeling position, she quickly recovered and 
eagerly began exploring the intimacies of my unique 
masculinity, probing and caressing new life into the 
tired flesh that had long ago resigned itself to the 
companionship of my hands. Her tiny breasts were a 
delight to caress and her long sinewy legs were as 
smooth as silk as they encircled my own. Touching and 
teasing, she brought me precipitously close to my own 
orgasm before I could withdraw and escort her to the 
comforting confines of my bed. 

I took her virginity that night with all the gentleness 
and sensitivity my wisdom and experience could afford; 
delighting in the forceful spasms of her sex heralding 
the onset of her numerous orgasms. It was only after 
exhaustion overcame her, that my seed erupted within 
her with more force than I thought capable of 
delivering. We slept soundly in each others embrace.

I stirred early, and disentangling myself from the 
delicate spread eagle waif I had ravaged the night 
before. The sheets were awash with our drying passions 
and my muscles were alive with agony. I brought her 
breakfast in bed, as it was her day off, and played 
with her treasures until she could bear no more. Once 
more entering her delicate essence, I watched as she 
twisted beneath me in orgasmic torment, mewing and 
gasping until she finally collapsed amidst a pool of 
her delicious ejaculate. My shift arrived far too soon, 
and the sadness in her eyes was painfully evident until 
I reassured her that I’d "C U Later."

That was some time ago; there were many challenges in 
our way, but her gentle untiring love and my dedication 
and experience brought us through. A cautious 
friendship was soon established with her kin so that 
when they passed away tragically, Anna was left with 
more than enough to support her comfortably with her 
thoughtful investments. 

Mabel latched onto a retired trucker who didn’t seem to 
mind the dog, and they joined us every Thursday for 
dinner. Anna took my position in the video store and 
within six months became the manager of a thriving 
business that recently added two new locations 
throughout the city. 

I spend my time keeping Anna happy, and writing, 
realizing that a new beginning was somehow forced into 
my life and that I’ve somehow become the rescued rather 
than the "rescuer." We always have a bowl of dandelions 
on the kitchen table.
