MISS PATTY
I'm Mitch. I have a four-year-old daughter, who is in pre-school. My wife and I were separated, but we are polite to each other and take a mutual interest in our little girl's school.
My daughter's teacher was 'Miss Patty'. My wife and I had met her and we saw her frequently at parent-teacher conferences and we would take turns picking up our daughter at the end of the school day. Miss Patty was always there to make sure the kids were united with their parents.
Now, Miss Patty is a pretty woman, in her early twenties, with a pretty face and a sweet disposition. Her hair is light brown and tumbles down her back. She dresses conservatively, but there is no way to hide her attractive figure. Her breasts press out against her blouses and she has a thin waist with a well-proportioned ass. She typically wears dresses or pants so only her ankles and calves are visible, but I could see the outline of her thighs when she walked.
I was out drinking with my buddies one Friday night and we went into a restaurant/bar that we regularly patronize. We ordered beers and were sitting at the bar when I was surprised to see a woman who looked just like Miss Patty at the other end of the bar. I watched a guy try to make a move on her, but she quickly shut him down and sent him away with his tail between his legs. I didn't think she recognized me.
On the way back from the head, I stopped by and asked her, "Are you Miss Patty?"
She was surprised and said "Hello Mr. Willis."
"Please call me John." I said.
She said, "Please don't tell anyone you've seen me here. I could lose my job."
"My lips are sealed. I just wanted to say hello."
She said, "Thank you. Your daughter is really sweet; she's one of my favorites."
I had just planned to be polite, but she kept talking. "I hope you don't think I'm a bar girl or anything. I very seldom go out. I know Rick, who owns this place. He's a friend of my dad's. So, I feel comfortable coming here."
"I like the place. I've been coming here for a few months."
She laughed and said, "You always seemed like the stay-at home dad type."
"Me and my wife are separated."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"Not as sorry as I am." I spent a few minutes outlining the nature of my relationship with my wife. "We seem to argue about little things and get on each other's nerves. One night, we had a big blow-up and I walked out. I've tried to convince her take me back, but she says she's not sure she loves me anymore." A real sob story. "I can be controlling and sometimes say things I regret."
Miss Patty was quietly listening and for some reason, I was in the mood to talk to someone. My buddies were no help. They'd give me all sorts of great advice like "Plenty of fish in the sea." Or "Just barge in and fuck her, that's what she needs."
I continued to talk with Patty and was enchanted by her pretty eyes. They captivated my attention. She had such a sparkling personality that it was fun just talking to her. That smile was beautiful.
She told me, "Sometimes, she picks up your daughter with another man. Is he a relative?"
"No. I know who you mean. He works with her. I have suspicions that they are more than just friends."
Patty said, "It appears so."
I had suspected that my wife was interested in a guy from her office. Hearing confirmation from Patty hurt.
She said, "I shouldn't have said anything. Parents affairs are none of my business."
I changed the subject and said, "I know you're not married. There must be someone in your life."
She said, "Nope. That's why I'm here. I was going with a guy until a month ago."
"I'm sorry; what happened?"
"Another woman happened. He lives about a hundred miles away and there is someone closer that he can play with." She paused. "He can get what he needs from her." Then added, "The bitch."
I laughed and said, "I hope you don't speak like that in front of little children."
She laughed too and said, "Sometimes it's tough keeping my cool with the little ones."
I smiled and said, "I wouldn't worry about him. You're young and attractive and you'll find someone better."
She laughed and said, "Well, my luck needs to change because I've been going with one asshole after another."
I said, "I notice your use of pronouns, bitch is a female pronoun and asshole is male."
She laughed again and said, "Don't forget douche bag and prick."
"I imagine there are other derogatory terms that are gender specific."
She said, "Don't start talking about gender bullshit. I hear enough of that in our training."
"Okay. Nothing more." I noticed her drink was low, so I asked, "Can I buy you another drink?"
She looked at me and said, "If you're trying to pick me up, forget it."
"I apologize. I just saw you here and wanted to say hello."
I stood to leave and she said, "Please don't go. I'm sorry; I could use some company. I still live with my mom and dad and my girlfriends are always busy so I don't have an adult to talk to after being with little kids all day."
I ordered the drink and suggested we take one of the booths in the restaurant. I waved goodbye to my buddies and went to sit with Miss Patty.
We sat and talked for two hours. I learned a lot about her and told her some of my history. I was only six years older than her. We had gone to rival universities. The more we talked, the more enchanted I became. She was so bright positive in her outlook and we had some common interests. We both liked dogs and hated cats. She liked to hike and was into photography. I just liked her a lot.
