Robby grew up in a large southwestern city. A large army base was there and provided jobs for thousands of the city's inhabitants. A constant transition of troops meant that people would come and go regularly. This meant that Robby had also seen a parade of various neighbors in his remembered history. Robby's father was a Lt. Colonel but seldom home. This might have been the reason he and his mother had spent so much time in one place. Their house had undergone many changes such as an extra room, covered patio and swimming pool. His mother took a job, just to keep her busy; but Robby thought it had more to do with increasing her social contacts.
Summers are long and hot in the southwest. Robby was generally an outdoor boy but when the sun was at its zenith, even he had to retreat indoors. His mother's job kept her away from home during the days and sometimes even at night. When she would be coming home late, she never failed to call Robby and tell him that she would be late.
On one particular day the sun had done its work and driven Robby indoors. He came into the family den and turned on the TV. That was always a good way to help the afternoons moving with a minimum amount of boredom but on this day, nothing was on that caught and held his interest. The sun was starting to interfere with the picture so Robby got up to close the drapes on the glass doors. As he was closing them he noticed his new neighbor in her backyard reading under a parasol. She was wearing a black two-piece swimsuit and from where he stood she looked very sexy. The neighbors had moved in a couple of weeks ago but at the time it didn't spark any interest in him. Now, the TV was forgotten and he was very interested.
Robby opened the glass door and walked to the edge of the covered patio. He saw that his new neighbor was about twenty-five, red headed and well built. She was reading a thick book and seemed to be oblivious to the hot world around her. Robby noticed that mentally she may have been detached from the world but physically she was still feeling it. Sweat glistened her white skin making her somehow more desirable.
"It's a real scorcher today," Robby called over the fence hoping she would hear him and acknowledge his presence.
She looked up with a far-away, slightly dazed look and looked at Robby. As her eyes seemed to come back in focus she answered, "Yes it is. But I love the summer and plan to enjoy it as much as I can; so long as we are here."
"Where do you originally come from?"
"Boston... I was born and raised in Boston."
"Does it get this hot in Boston?"
"I've known some warm days in my life but I think this one is the hottest."
With a sudden inspiration Robby asked, "Would you like to come over here and take a dip in our pool?"
The woman suddenly looked interested; she carefully marked her place in the book and set it down on her chair as she came over to the fence to look at the pool. As she walked across her yard on sandaled feet the thought of 'thoroughbred' sprang into his head. She moved proudly across the grass and her hips seemed to be moving to unheard music.
She rested her arms on the natural rock fence that separated out yards and looked at the cool waters of the pool. Her tongue darted out of her mouth and wet her full lips before she answered, "Wouldn't your parents mind strangers using their pool."
"My name is Robby... Robby McCloud; what is yours?"
"Mindy... Mindy Johnston... sorry, I am now Mindy Reynolds. I haven't been married very long and am having a hard time breaking the habit of giving my maiden name."
"I'm glad to meet you Mindy and that takes first of your first problem; we aren't strangers anymore. As for the second thing, I'm here alone and my parents wouldn't mind if I invited a friend to swim."
"Well in that case Robby, I would love to take a swim in your pool."
"I'll open the gate for you."Robby said as he walked across the yard to the gate. He released the deadbolt and waited as Mindy came out of her gate. As she passed him he could smell her scent. She smelled of freshness with a tangy hint of sweat. He felt that her nearness was having a physical effect on him.
She went to the edge of the pool and stepped out of her sandals; lining them neatly along the edge of the pool. With one foot she tested the water. The water was cold. In the southwest few pools were heated as the sun was warm enough to make the pool water very pleasant. She walked around to the shallow end and slowly submerged her body into the water. Once the water engulfed her breasts she pushed off from the bottom and started to swim. She kept her head above water and started to swim easy laps the length of the pool.
Robby went inside to put on his trunks and get them both large towels. When he removed his shorts he saw that he had a full erection. This caused a little trouble and discomfort as he pulled on his trunks. Before going out to the pool again he went to the kitchen and poured two cold glasses of ice tea. His parents had taught him manners and he wanted to impress Mindy with them. He puts the towels over his arm and the glasses on a tray. With his hands full he went out to the patio and put the tray on the table. He put the towels on the lounge chairs and, with his hands hiding his erection went to join Mindy in the water.
