The story of Deb Jones
The setting
A farm in the Mississippi Delta. 1960’s
Deb was born in to a life of poverty, squalor and pure misery. In nothing but a shack. As a teenager she was the oldest of 10 daughters and one son. Cooking, farming and raising her mommas babies was the only life she knew.
There was no Tv, radio or newspapers. Deb or any of her younger siblings hadn’t been to school in years. Ever since prayer had been taken out of school. Her Daddy took them out of school. Of course there was no trust in public education in his mind anyway.
The only people they knew as neighbors were the ones that joined them at church on Sunday mornings.
Sunday which was supposed to be a day of rest. According to the good book.
But for Deb was just as hard as any day was. As she had to keep all them damn kids quiet while the preacher man preached the word of God.
Deb and her brother Rob being the oldest were the only ones that ever allowed off the farm. And that was only because there daddy needed there help. Usually loading the truck, at the Feed and seed store. Or the hardware store.
There Daddy always kept a switch close by.
“ Don’t either of you talk to anybody in town! “ He said in a threatening tone. Because the Devil was always watching. And he would suck them right in to sin. Deb and her siblings were always told this. And they didn’t dare go against there daddy on anything. Or at least not to his face.
Quietly Deb questioned these things in her own mind. She was growing restless on the farm. She wanted her own freedom. She ran away at age 13, 14 and 15. Only to be brought back and beaten. She patiently waited for the right time to make that final run.
It was a summer day outside the wash house, where she was hanging out the clothes that she’d washed by hand. Her momma come walking up, with that same sly smile. While holding her belly.
“ There’s gonna be another one Deb...Ain’t you happy for me? “
Deb looks at her mother with despair in her face.
“ Why momma?...Why???...Why another one? “
“ Cause it’s Gods will child. “
It was a woman’s place to stay barefoot and pregnant. And taking care of her man of course. That’s the lessons of life, that her momma had taught her. Up to that point anyway.
In the back of Debs mind she knew there had to be a better way of life. She was doing all the work and getting no reward. Just more work. And of course another baby, that would take up more of her time. Deb had had enough. This was going to be the day, that she’d been thinking about for years.
She hugged her momma lovingly. Then kissed her cheek.
“ I wish you well momma. But I’ve got to go! “
She then turned and walked away.
“ But Deb I need your help! “ Her momma yelled out to her.
Deb just turned, smiled and waved good bye. And that would be the final time.
She left that farm wearing nothing but a cotton dress. Walking barefoot down a lonely dirt road. She looked over her shoulder often. Expecting her daddy to come in the old truck to take her back home.
But her parents knew it was her time to go. Brother Rob would soon leave next. And one by one, the others would follow. As they got old enough.
Deb comes to the small primitive one room church house. She looks at it. And goes in to the cemetery. Where 3 graves side by side were. Another brother and two sisters. That come and died before her. She sat on the green grass, and talked to them. Just as kind and lovingly as she did to her living siblings. She cried a little, and prayed a little. And got up to press herself onward.
“ I’ve got to find a man! “ She told herself. But it had to be the right man. She prayed again and talked to herself, hoping that she’d made the right decision.
She comes to a small town. And went in to a small service station. In the restroom. She basically took a bath in the sink, trying to make herself look the best she could, considering the circumstances she supposed.
Many kept looking at her. As she walked along. Most likely that she was one of those Amish girls. That comes to town from time to time. She looked in to the windows of the store fronts. Seeing all the things that she would like to buy. If she had some money that is.
Finally she comes to a pool hall. Where she noticed some young military men playing a game of pool. They talked loudly and laughed. From outside she watched.
She knew what they were only by there uniforms. Her daddy was a WW 2 vet. And he had a uniform similar to the ones they wore. There were others in the pool hall also. But she turned her attention to the military guys. There was something special about them she thought. Especially one that was red headed.
She struggled with her thoughts about walking in to the place.
“ Daddy would never approve of me, going in to a place like that. “ She told herself.
She carefully studied the others in the place. As if she was expecting to see the Devil himself, with horns and a pitch fork. To wave her inside.
Well she never saw the Devil. But she did keep looking at that red headed marine. She got that tingling sensation. Her nipples hardened, and poked through her dress. Her pussy gets moist. So bad she wants to touch herself. She feels sexy but nervous as Hell. She’d never done nothing like this before. She knew nothing about how to go about getting a man. The only thing she assumes is that nature will take its course.
She takes a deep breath and walks inside the Smokey room. A juke box playedin the background. She Kept a safe distance from the men.
“ Look at that! “ She hears a mans voice say. Pointing her out. She hears another man whistle at her. She took another look around, noticing that she was the only girl in the place. She smiles and looks at one of the other tables, and playfully rolls the billiard balls around. The young red headed marine noticed her looking at him. He looked at her. She quickly turned away. Kind of scared like.
He set up to take another shot, as Deb again rolled the balls around at the other table. He sees her smile at him again.
Like his own Delta Dawn. She was the prettiest woman, he’d ever laid eyes on. With auburn hair down to her ass. Blue eyes and a cute pug nose, and a freckled face. It was like love at first sight. He noticed her erect nipples. And took a good hard look at her sexy legs and bare feet.
He intentionally missed the shot, he was taking.
“ I’m out boys! “ He hands the pool stick over to one of the others. And slowly approaches the sexy young woman.
Deb almost peed on herself, she was so nervous and excited.
“ Hi I’m CJ. Jones. “
“ I’m Deb Parker. “ Deb says with a trembling voice. He then took and kissed her hand.
“ My friends call me Red. “
Deb laughs a little, looking at her own hair. That was similar in color to his.
“ You want to get something to eat? “
“ Sure I’m starving. “ He takes her hand gently and walks her next door to a cafe.
They sit across from each other at a table. The waitress brings them a menu. CJ. Studies it.
“ What would you like to have? “
“ I’ll have whatever your having. “ Deb replies with a warm smile. This was also a new thing for her. She’d never been out to eat before.
The waitress returned.
“ We’ll have the country fried steak, mash taters and gravy. And fried green tomatoes. That okay with you? “ He asked Deb for approval.
“ Sure sounds good. “
The two talked quietly among themselves. CJ. Wanted to know more about this beautiful girl. But besides farming and baby raising there wasn’t much to tell.
She wanted to know more about him.
He’d just returned from his first tour of Vietnam. Deb had never heard of it. Which shocked CJ.
He sees the cafe. Had a small black and white Tv.
“ Hey turn that up please! “ He yells at the waitress. She turned to volume up.
“ You got one of those? “
“ Oh no! “ Deb said looking at the Tv. She was facilitated by it.
“ He’s talking about Vietnam now. “ It was on the evening news, with Uncle Walter.
“ And Yes we’re winning the war! “ He said like he did every day, at news time. If only that were really true.
“ You mean there’s a war going on? “ Deb asks naively.
CJ. Couldn’t believe what he was hearing from her. This girl knew nothing of what was going on in the world. Outside of the farm she’d just walked off of. She watched the screen intensely.
“ That’s awful! “ She said to him. “ My Daddy was in the war. But he never talked about it. “
The waitress brings there food. And thankfully the conversation turned to more pleasant things. CJ was originally from Clarksdale. He told her about playing football and all. Which Deb knew nothing about. But she listened closely and was intrigued.
“ So where did you go to school? “ Deb thought for a moment. She didn’t want to shock him again, by telling him that she hadn’t been to school since the second grade.
“ Ugh...GreenWood. “ She said thinking back to where she thought she went, when she went.
“ Nice place. “ He said looking at her again. With his dick growing hard. Though he’d been with many women before. Deb had an innocence about her. He could tell she was pure and special. And he didn’t want to take that from her. Though she was as dumb as a box of rocks. As far as current events went. He knew he loved her. And he could tell how she acted around him, that she loved him to.
“ This is going to be the woman that I’m going to spend my life with. “ He told himself. Even though they had just met.
