Note to my readers: this marks my 100th published story on Literotica. When I started out on this venture almost a dozen years ago, it was largely as an outlet for my imagination, and a desire to put some of my sexy daydreams on paper, as it were. I had no idea at the start that it would eventually come to this, 100 stories now on the site, and still more in the works. I thought I'd be spent long ago, but they keep coming. Many of them involve women I have met in real life, often casually at places like medical offices, museums, bus tours, restaurants, etc. There are neighbors and coworkers, and old girlfriends. A few of these stories are based on actual events, though embellished a little. I've had a lot of fantasies about women whom I see on TV most days-I've never met them, but see them often enough that I have fantasies...most of my local news team's female anchors and reporters, and even a well known network correspondent. And then, there are my Weather Channel ladies, all of whom have a special place in my heart, and in my fantasy life.
I am encouraged by the response my work has garnered. Most of these stories have earned good enough reviews to qualify as "hot;" it's nice to see my work is so well received-enough so that I have now well over 700 followers. I enjoy reading your comments, though I take much more seriously the ones from readers who comment under their user ID's than the anonymous ranters. I'll happily engage a reader, even a critical one, if I can respond to someone who writes a comment over a signature. That said, thank you all for reading. I hope my work continues to be worthy of your time.
Now on to another encounter with my neighbor Sandy on a rainy summer afternoon.....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It had been one of those on and off rainy days; rain hard for ten minutes, then stop, then rain lightly for half an hour, then intensify, then slack off. Around 2 PM I noticed the rain had let up, so I decided to go out and get the mail on this Friday afternoon. I saw as I approached the box that Sandy's red Ram 1500 was in her driveway. While I was picking through the bounty of direct mail items in the stack that had arrived, I heard a door close. I looked up to see she was backing out of her driveway. As she rolled up to the corner, I looked over and gave her a wave, and blew her a kiss, as I usually did in this situation. She gave me a big wave and smile, as she always did. I had told her a few years back that I noticed any time we passed on the road into our development, she always gave me a big wave and smile, and it really made this old man's day. I always returned the greeting, if I didn't give her a wave and a smile first. She said that she waved at everyone, but they didn't all wave back.
"Hmmm, pretty girl in a fire engine red truck, and she's waving at me?? Hell, yeah, I'll wave back. I'll follow you home if you let me." That had made Sandy laugh, and she allowed that I should be careful what I ask for, I might get it. I told her I kept hoping, again making her laugh.
Seeing my greeting, she stopped a moment and rolled down her window. "Hey," she called out a broad smile on her pretty face.
"Hey, yourself," I called back. "Headed back to the working world grind??" I teased.
"No, actually, headed to Wally World." I must have looked confused. "I had some comp time coming, so I took this afternoon, kind of an early start for the weekend."
"Cool," I said. "Always good to get the early quit and a little extra weekend."
"Yeah, and my husband won't be home til 7 or so, so I get a little break from him, too." We both laughed at the notion of some alone time, which in any relationship, is good to get, no matter how well it's going.
As we talked, the rain started again, a little at first, then gaining momentum. I was starting to get wet, and it was showing as my shirt started to soak through.
"Can I run you up to the house??" asked Sandy.
"Hmm," I thought. "Can I tag along to Wal Mart with you?? There are some things I need to get, and I'd love the company.
Sandy smiled at me. "Sure. I'd like that too."
"Great. Run me up into the driveway?? I can reach over into my car to close the garage." I went in and out through the garage most of the time, as it was convenient, more so than the front door. Sandy pulled into the driveway, and I closed up, and we were ready to go.
Sandy looked over at me, my shirt now pretty wet. "You're soaked over there," she said as we got settled.
"Yeah, well, I'm not made out of sugar, I'll be OK."
Sandy looked over and smiled, then leaned toward me, kissing me. "But you are sweet," she said as she pulled away.
Ten minutes later, we were turning into the Wal Mart parking lot. Just as we were about to pull into a spot, the skies opened up, and it started to rain really hard.
"Dammit," said Sandy, looking over at me with a look of exasperation. "I hoped we'd be able to get in the store before the heavy rain hit."
I looked at her, then leaned over to kiss her softly. As I moved back to my side of the truck, I began to sing softly, "You and me and rain on the roof. Caught up in a summer shower, dryin' while it soaks the flowers. Maybe it'll rain for hours, waitin' out the sun..."
Sandy broke into a smile. "What was that??"
"What was what??"
"What you were just singing."
"Rain on the Roof. Lovin' Spoonful from 1966. Do you remember a show called 'Welcome Back Kotter,' from back in the 70's?? They did the opening theme, a song called 'Welcome Back.' It went, welcome back, your dreams were your ticket out...'" I sang the opening line, then described the scenes from the show's opening sequence. I reminded Sandy that it was all shot in Brooklyn, and that I knew a guy who had gone to the high school seen from the elevated train.
