My name's Helen and I'm a happily married twenty nine years old, or at least I thought I was until recent events overtook me.
I don't have a full time job but I do go housecleaning three times a week. One of the houses I clean is for a couple Anne and Jim and it was whilst at their house a couple of months ago that things began to happen.
I'd gone round as usual on Wednesday morning at about nine-thirty and I'd already been warned that their son Simon might be at home as he was on vacation from university. When I arrived I rang the bell, something I don't normally do as I have a key, but I didn't want to frighten Simon and I wished to signal my arrival. He was at home and he answered the door. He's an incredibly good looking nineteen year old who appears incredibly fit.
"Good morning, you must be Helen, mum told me to expect you," he said greeting me. "I'm Simon come on in." I followed him through the hallway and into the lounge. "Don't worry about me I'll be in my bedroom out of your way so you can get on without interference," he said.
"Are you sure?" I asked.
"Yes fine," he said before making his way upstairs. I got myself sorted out and began my usual cleaning routine.
"Simon, would you like a cup of tea or coffee, I'm having one," I shouted from outside his room.
"That would be great, mines a coffee, white no sugar, I'll be down now" he shouted back. I made my way down, having finished upstairs. I made the drinks and was eventually joined by Simon at the breakfast bar in the kitchen. I'd never met him before but we were soon chatting away about this and that.
"Simon could you give me a hand before you go back up," I asked as we finished our drinks.
"Yes, what can I do?"
"Can you hold the step ladder for me whilst I clean those tops. I don't get to do them often," I said. I climbed the steps and he was holding them. As I cleaned I felt his hands holding me just below my hips.
"I think this is safer than holding the ladder," he said. I then felt his thumbs stroking and squeezing into my buttocks. I was wearing leggings and I knew I'd be finished in a moment or two and decided to ignore his actions. As I came down the steps he kept hold of me, I turned round facing him as I reached the floor, he bent forward putting his mouth over mine and before I knew it his tongue was in my mouth and he was kissing me. I was totally surprised by his actions and it took me a little while to get my thoughts together. Before I could react and push him off and almost as quickly our lips parted, he let go of me, turned away and made his way out of the room and back upstairs.
For a few moments I was in shock and just stood there trying to take in what had just happened. After a while I regained my composure and I decided, for good or ill, just to complete my work and forget the incident.
"Simon, I've finished and I'm leaving now," I shouted up the stairs before leaving. I couldn't get what Simon had done out of my mind as I drove home and I kept thinking about it from time to time over the next few days.
...
On the Saturday I was going through my e-mails and there was one I didn't recognise from 'Rock'. I opened it and realised it was from Simon. 'Helen I enjoyed myself on Wednesday. I'd like to meet with you to discuss it. Monday 11o'clock at Costa in town. It's in your interest to be there. - Simon'
I read it and couldn't believe it. He must have obtained my e-mail address from his mums computer. I didn't know what to do but during Sunday I decided I had to meet him to sort the whole thing out.
'See you Monday - Helen' I emailed him in reply.
On Monday I arrived at Costa at the agreed time and Simon was already there. "Hi Helen... I'm glad you could come... What would you like to drink?" he said greeting me as cool as a cucumber.
"Err... Cappuccino please," I replied, surprised by his nonchalant manner. He went and ordered my coffee and brought it back to the table.
"There you are," he said. "It's nice to see you again..."
"Simon, about Wednesday," I said cutting across him.
"Yes," he said.
"Well what have you got to say?"
"I kissed you,"
"That's right... Why?"
"You're a very attractive woman and I felt like it," he replied.
"Well you shouldn't have and your ideas have got to stop," I informed him.
"You didn't try to stop me," he offered as justification.
"I didn't get a chance," I replied.
"I think you could have, but didn't want to," he continued. "Did you enjoy it?"
"That's not the point."
