Chapter Two: Summer Maid in Heaven
After I received the job at the prestigious Sinclair High School I decided to surprise my parents with a visit and tell them about how things have been going. I had spent the weekend up in Maine with a few friends before I was to head down to New York City and decided to fly into JFK airport. I had my friend Jeremy meet me at the airport so he could drive me to my folks' place.
Jeremy was an old friend that I knew ever since I was a child. Our parents were good friends and knew each other from the country club we belonged to so Jeremy and I pretty much grew up together. We had a good understanding of each other and no matter how much time we spent away we always started up where we left off.
I told him about my rendezvous with Mrs. Julia Bramstead, the director of the Parent's Board at Sinclair, and he told me about some of his recent escapades. We had a lot of laughs on the long ride into the city and I was glad to see him.
After a little over an hour we arrived at my parent's townhouse in midtown Manhattan. I was surprised when Jeremy said he wasn't going to come say hello to my parents but he said he had to go back to work. I grabbed my luggage from the trunk of his Lexus and parted ways with him.
I lugged my baggage up the stairs to the entrance of my house and even though I had a key I decided to ring the doorbell. I waited impatiently to see my parents for I was very fond of both of them. After a few moments the door swung open and I was greeted by an unfamiliar face.
For the second time in a matter of months I have gone to a house expecting to see one person and only greeted by a beautiful young girl. This one was incredibly striking. She had soft blue eyes that stood out around her dark brown hair that was tied up in a ponytail. She was a tall girl standing at about five foot ten and had long slender legs that were a beautiful white.
This girl was staring at me with a curious smile and she raised her eyebrows as if expecting something. "Oui? Yes?" I was shocked to find that she was a young French girl, and not only was she standing in my parent's doorway.
I stepped back and leaned around to look at the house number, for some reason I wasn't quite sure if I had the right house. "Uh, yes, uh, is Mr. or Mrs. Scarsdale here?" I smiled at her but still kept a confused look about my face.
"Yes, but 'zey are not to be disturbed. May I inquire as to what 'zis is pertaining to?" Her French accent was absolutely heart stopping. I decided to step closer to her and let her in on the secret.
"I think they might want to come to the door for me," I moved in to whisper in her ear, "I am their son." A look of panic overtook her and her face turned a bright red from embarrassment.
"Oh, monsieur, I am most sorry, please come in." She bowed deeply which was very unexpected.
"No, it's not a big deal." I put my hand on her shoulder to let her no I had friendly intentions.
"I should have recognized you; you are like your father, just very young and more handsome." She smiled comfortably and walked behind me a few steps as I looked around the house. I turned to look at her and her white skirt swayed with her luscious hips.
I decided to be more playful with her so she would relax. "I am not
that
young looking am I?"
"No!" She blushed again. "You are older than I am correct?"
"Well I don't know," I looked her up and down, "How old are you?"
"Twenty." She spoke proudly. I think she was very satisfied with getting that number correct in English. "So what is your name? Mine is Chloe."
I extended my hand, "nice to meet you Chloe, I am Peter Scarsdale." I looked around the house as Chloe followed me like a puppy.
"So Chloe, if you don't mind me asking, what are you doing here?" She thought about this question very deeply trying to calculate the correct answer.
"I clean, and I cook, and I go to school at Columbia." She smiled politely as I sat down on the couch.
I pointed to the seat next to me and said, "Please sit down Chloe, your standing is making me nervous."
"Sorry," she plopped down into the seat quickly. Her breasts bounced in her tight yellow t-shirt as she sat.
I decided to examine this girl further. "So how do you like Columbia?"
"Ah," she shook her head, "tres difficile! I mean it is very difficult. I know English well but I can't speak it very understandably." She suddenly stood up very quickly and I realized there were footsteps entering the room.
My mother rushed in the room with her arms extended as my father slowly walked in. "PETE!" My mother embraced me and I returned her hug. My father extended his hand and I shook it.
"Peter, son, how are you?" Our handshake turned into a hug with a few manly pats on the back.
