HELLO MY SWEET SUPERSTARS! I TRULY HOPE THAT YOU HAVE ALL BEEN KEEPING WELL AND STAYING SAFE. FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE BEEN AROUND MY WORKS FOR A WHILE, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE LONG WAIT BETWEEN UPDATES. THIS YEAR HASN'T BEEN THE BEST FOR ME. IT'S NOT AN EXCUSE AND I WANT TO DO BETTER. I AM HARD AT WORK ON THIS STORY AND OTHERS AND WILL HAVE MANY NEW CHAPTERS COMING YOUR WAY. FOR NOW, ENJOY THIS BRAND-NEW ORIGINAL STORY BETWEEN A YOUNG WOMAN AND HER GRANDMOTHER. IF YOU KNOW ME, YOU KNOW WHAT TO EXPECT. IF YOU ARE NEW, I WANT TO GIVE SOME NOTES ON WHAT KIND OF CONTENT TO EXPECT. THIS STORY WILL CONTAIN FICTIONALIZED INCEST SMUT. THE MAIN CHARACTER OF THIS STORY IS INTERSEX, SHE IS A WOMAN WITH A PENIS. THIS STORY WILL BE LIGHTER AND MORE MUNDANE COMPARED TO MY OTHER HIGH-STAKES STORIES. THIS HAS BEEN A HARD YEAR FOR EVERYONE, SO I THOUGHT A GENTLER STORY WOULD BE NICE. WITH THAT ALL SAID, I HOPE THAT YOU ENJOY.

Rebecca ran her finger along the inside of the car window, tracking the raindrops that raced to the bottom. After four hours of riding shotgun while her mother drove to their destination, there was only so much she could do to keep herself entertained. She let out a bored sigh as she gazed up at the dark clouds above. This was looking less like the scorching summer that had been promised, and more like the depressing winter that she dreaded.

Without looking over at her mother, Rebecca could tell that the older woman was rolling her eyes at her antics. ''You're 19. I wouldn't have expected you to act like you were still 9.''

Leaning back in her seat, Rebecca hummed with disinterest. ''You're right, mom. I am 19 now. This means that I'm at the age where we should be holding important discussions before moving forward with crazy plans…like dropping me off at my grandmother's for the summer.''

''You haven't seen her in years. I thought it would be good for you to spend some time out in the country with her. She could use the company, and you need to experience the great outdoors.''

Rebecca narrowed her eyes at her. ''Mom, I need the internet for online learning and assignments.''

''You'll still get wi-fi. I'm not sending you to the stone ages. Besides, it's not for the whole summer. You'll be back home before you know it. Who knows? Maybe you two will become the best of friends. Your grandmother has a way with people.''

Noticing a hint of snark in her mother's tone, Rebecca tilted her head. ''Is this because of my fights? I told you that I didn't start them!''

''I told you. Your grandmother has a way with people.''

Grumbling as her mother shrugged her shoulders, Rebecca sunk back into her seat and groaned. ''So, this is the low budget version of sending me to boarding school? I figured.''

After a moment's silence, Rebecca and her mother locked eyes. ''She really does want to see you. I think this will be good for both of you.''

Rebecca didn't bother with a response. It was far too late to weasel her way out of this situation. It was true. She had earned a reputation back home as someone who reacted before thinking, resulting in quite a few black eyes and bruised knuckles on her end. She couldn't help it that she had a fiery temper. She knew that she wasn't a bad person. But, she also knew that she wasn't good either. She just liked to live her life the way she wanted without boundaries. After the expectations of having a carefree summer were dashed when her mother announced a trip to visit her grandmother, Rebecca accepted her fate. She was going to have a boring, uneventful time.

Then again, her mother was right. She hadn't seen her grandmother for a while. It wasn't because of anything malicious. The distance was just far too great for regular visits, and with Rebecca always being a handful, it was difficult to find some time to get away. Perhaps she was now different from when Rebecca last saw her? Rebecca remembered this kind old woman who did have a bit of toughness that the young girl admired. Maybe some of that rubbed off on Rebecca without her realizing it. Surely that would be where the similarities would end?

Thankfully, by the time they pulled into the driveway, the rain had ceased and Rebecca wouldn't have to worry about getting drenched while carrying her stuff out of the trunk. As they slowed down, Rebecca could see a cosy little cottage coming into view. It seemed harmless and hardly threatening. Rebecca was still debating on whether that was a good or bad thing.

When they stopped, Rebecca's mother blasted the car horn a few times. Rebecca didn't bother waiting as she hopped out of the car and hurried to the trunk. As she grabbed her belongings from the back, she could hear her mother calling out to someone. A voice replied cheerily. Rebecca stopped and leaned to the side to try and listen more carefully. She wanted to listen to the conversation without being part of it.

That plan fell through when a hand gripped the side of the open car trunk and slammed it shut. Rebecca jumped back. ''Fuck!''

''Oh no, we can't accept that kind of talk here.''

Rebecca stared back and saw her grandmother smirking at her. Abigail looked fantastic for her age. Rebecca couldn't remember if she was in her late 50's or early 60's. Either way, it was clear that she looked after herself. She had a natural and earthly beauty to her that Rebecca quite liked to see in a woman. If only more women looked like that back in the city…at least, single women. But, the thing that caught Rebecca off-guard was the playful look on her mature, wrinkled face. Especially after giving Rebecca a good scare with the car trunk. Thankfully, Rebecca had managed to grab her stuff in time.

''Sorry,'' Rebecca blushed. ''I wasn't eavesdropping.''

''I never said you were, but thank you for confessing.''

Already, Rebecca was on the back foot. Her grandmother had spunk. It caused her to grin as she tried not to drop her bags.

Abigail took a few backs from the flustered young woman and began walking to the house. ''Let me help.''

Before they got too far, Rebecca's mother called out to them as she stepped back into the car. ''You two have fun. I need to head back so I can beat the traffic.''

''Are you sure?'' Abigail replied. ''You can stay for the night and then head back tomorrow.''

''I wish I could. But, my boss will eat me alive if I don't start first thing in the morning. I can't afford to miss my deadline. Speaking of deadlines…''

''I know,'' Rebecca said before her mother could even look in her direction. ''I'm not going to slack off on my studies.''

Abigail smiled. ''You're damn straight, kid.''

Rebecca almost laughed at the comment for a few reasons before she flinched. ''Hold on, how come you can swear?''

''My house, my rules. What I say goes.''

As the two stared at each other, Rebecca's mother started up the car engine and slowly reversed. ''You two are going to get along swimmingly. Speaking of, you better get inside before the rain starts again.''

Abigail nodded. ''She's right. I've already got dinner prepared. Let's get you settled in and then we'll work on things from there.''

''Sure, thing…'' Rebecca hesitated. Unsure of how she was supposed to address her grandmother.

Realizing what she was struggling with, Abigail grinned. ''You can call me Abi if you wish.''

Nodding her head and following Abi towards the house, Rebecca looked over her shoulder to glance at her mother backing out of the driveway and onto the road. This summer was going to be completely new for her. She felt out of her element, yet, she couldn't help but feel a strange sense of comfort with Abi around. There was something about the older woman that she liked, but she couldn't quite put her finger on what that was exactly. Hopefully, this wouldn't just be a first-day hiccup and the rest of their time together would go swimmingly.

After all, what could happen between them over the next month or so? Only time would tell.
