Natalie was ten years old when I moved next door. She was the middle child of three. And the youngest in need of constant care. Natalie was not getting attention. My wife and I had been married six months when we moved next door. Being a child and curious, Natalie was fascinated with my wife and I as a place to receive notice. And attention she did get. Natalie was at our home often. We were fine with this as were her parents.
Natalie was a well-mannered young lady. Talkative, always, and wanting to help. She was stick straight. Blonde hair like the end of a broom. A skinny little girl. We began to settle into our home. I was twenty-two at the time. We were just beginning. School was out for the summer, meaning Natalie was often at our home. I went to work. The wife stayed home. Ideal. Isn't it?
The first summer was wonderful. Backyard cookouts with Natalie's family. Hanging out now and again, having a beer. Neighborhood joyfulness. This changed. I will make it simple. My new wife was fucking other guys in the neighborhood. But not me. I thought it odd at first when I would try to initiate love making. She was too tired. The house was a mess, and nothing accomplished. Dirty dishes, undone laundry, and lack of cleaning. What was she doing all day? She did not want to have sex as she was fucked out for the day.
The revelation was a Sunday. She went out for groceries. Upon her return, there were no groceries. Instead, there was cum running down her legs. I learned later she was screwing the bag boy.
I confronted her about this.
She yells at me.
"Well, if you're not going to be adult about this, I'm no longer talking to you."
She went to the bedroom, closed, and locked the door. I slept on the sofa. The next morning, I went to work. When I arrived home that afternoon, she was gone along with all her stuff. I wonder how she will enjoy living on bag boy wages.
This was devastating. All the neighbors knew, but no one wanted to tell me. Natalie's family did their best to occupy my free time. I appreciated this, but I wanted to be alone. This is where Natalie entered my life daily. Not what you think either. Nothing inappropriate ever happened. Her mom suggested that she help me take care of the house. She viewed it as an opportunity to teach Natalie. I was not doing a respectable job of it. There would be pay involved. An account for Natalie with direct deposit. It would work out well. My home would be cared for. Her parents would spend time with Natalie at my place, teaching. Natalie had something constructive to do.
Eight years passed. Natalie was a fixture in my home. She had learned to run a home with expertise. As she aged, she had more responsibilities. She did laundry, grocery shopping and all the things that needed. Natalie developed her chef skills as well. Her mom taught her how to prepare balanced and varied meals. Often, Natalie would share the dinner she prepared for me. She would rattle on about her days at school and all the things that are important to a young girl. I listened to it all.
I heard about her crushes, the mean girls at school, and the classes she took. I was able to assist her with difficult math on occasion. Kids grow up. That is what they do. Natalie slowly changed from the skinny plain girl into a shapely young lady. But she was like a daughter. So, no stupid or dirty thoughts. I just did not, could not think of her in that way.
Natalie graduated from high school one spring. The family had a big celebration of it. I was invited to share this. I did not really know what kind of gift to give a graduate. So, I made a generous contribution to her bank account. The same one her pay went to. She was not allowed access to it. The past eight years had a significant amount deposited. Natalie had no plans for the summer, except to continue as she had all these years. Taking care of my house and me. I would be sad to see her leave in the fall. I imagined she would go to college.
The Monday following graduation, I went to work. The weather had turned suddenly hot. The AC at work ceased function. We were all miserable. The drive home was refreshing. I lost my dress shirt in favor of my undershirt. The windows down in the car and the strong breeze that driving created. I looked forward to an ice-cold beer upon my arrival. The car is in the driveway. Natalie had been here. Dinner was cooking and I could smell something good. The cap twisted off the bottle, and I strolled into the backyard. Natalie was in my yard, sunbathing. This was unexpected. A bright yellow and pink bikini hardly covered the now tanned and curvy body. Long legs, flat stomach, gravity defying breasts and long smooth blond hair. This was no longer a girl, but a voluptuous woman. When did that happen?
Natalie spoke.
"Hey Mr. H. It was hot today, so I thought I would get some sunshine."
She stood to face me. A bright smile and breasts barely contained by string and tiny fabric triangles. The bottoms were just as revealing. Strings on either side that made a V, pointing to a small triangle between the legs. Okay, I am having inappropriate thoughts. Natalie walked by me, and the scent of suntan lotion was strong. I got the rear view as she glided towards the house. The fabric accented the crease of her ass cheeks.
"Come on Mr. H. Dinner is ready." She added.
I followed, stupefied by the sight of her now. Meatloaf, potatoes, and a healthy salad made for dinner. We ate together as she inquired about my day. I blathered on about the lack of AC and the misery we had to endure. Natalie wore a bemused smile throughout. I asked if she had plans for the summer and fall. She replied that not much for the summer. School in the fall here in town. Once more, the bemused smile.
We finished eating and stacked the plates and silverware in the sink. Natalie said she would take care of it tomorrow. She then proceeded to return to her sunbathing in the late afternoon sun.
"You gonna come out too?" She asked.
I grabbed another beer and followed. I was difficult to keep my eyes off her. And I am quite sure she knew I was looking. The sunset glorified the evening with shades of red, orange and yellows. A few puffy clouds here and there.
Natalie sat up and spoke.
"Heading home Mr. H. Oh, mom and dad want you over for dinner tomorrow. Okay?"
I said I would be there. My eyes glued to that ass and body as she strolled home. I felt like a dirty old man, and I should be ashamed of myself. But I could not tear my eyes away. A cold shower is in order. JEZZ!!!
Dinner the next night was important. There were tons of food and lots to drink. Natalie's dad always made sure I was never thirsty. A few hours into it,
Natalie's Dad spoke.
"So, Greg. We have a big favor to ask of you. A big favor. Elaine and I have sold the house and will be moving. Natalie would like to stay in town and attend community college this fall. Would it be possible for her to stay with you? It would mean much to us."
Bob sat there awaiting my answer. Elaine and Natalie shared that same bemused smile I saw yesterday. I did not know what to say.
I stammered a moment, but then answered.
"Sure."
Elaine and Natalie now shared a knowing glance.
Bob seemed happy as well and added.
"The movers will be here next week on Monday. So, we could get Natalie moved over the weekend. Sound good?"
I was speechless. What just happened?
Natalie did not wait for the weekend. While I worked, she began moving her things and maintaining my home. Dinner was always ready when I arrived. Natalie had taken the spare bedroom as her own. She was not sleeping there yet, but her possessions were there by Friday. I spent Saturday and Sunday assisting my neighbors in packing for the move. They were great neighbors and had entrusted me with their daughter. Sunday afternoon found them ready for Monday. I would be working when they moved. We said our goodbyes that Sunday evening. I got a big bear hug from Bob. Then he shuffled off inside. Elaine followed me into my home. She must have something on her mind. I suppose leaving a child behind is important.
Elaine is an incredibly attractive woman. Natalie is just a younger version of her. She raised three kids, taken care of Bob and a home. Yet she still retained a youthful look and curvy body. We stood in my living room. Elaine once more expressed her thanks for me looking after their daughter and for giving her access to my house all these years. Natalie had grown into a very responsible woman.
"One more thing before I go." Elaine said.
Boldly she walked right up to me, wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed me deeply. I was shocked at first. But I let my hands go to Elaine's waist.
Once she broke the kiss, she added.
"I have always wanted to do that. Take care of Natalie and yourself Greg. We will see you off and on."
Then she padded out the door. I stood there with my mouth hanging open. And once again. What just happened?
I showered and got myself to bed. Tomorrow will bring a substantial change to my life. Natalie would be a constant now. But I also thought it was not that different. She will be sleeping in her room and doing all the things she has been. Monday morning and I was out the door and to work. The moving truck was already next door and a steady stream of furniture and boxes making an exit. I saw Bob and waved. I would miss them. Natalie would also, I think.
