A few months after LeAnne moved in she came to me with a request.
"Hun, my mom called and asked if you would be willing to do her a favor. In that last storm some of the shingles on the garage got damaged and she's worried that another storm could do some bad damage. She was going to call a contractor to have come and fix it, but I told her that I would see if you would look at it before she calls anyone else. Would you be willing to take a look at it?"
I had worked a few summers doing construction while I was putting myself through college and replacing a few shingles was a simple procedure.
"Yeah, no problem," I said. "I'll take off Friday, grab some shingles at Home Depot and take care of it. Won't take me but a few hours and I'll have it good as new."
"You don't mind? Your boss won't care that you take a day off?"
That was a joke, since I moved back to the area and started working at the law firm, I hadn't had a single day off. I was at the office, reviewing contracts, updating briefs and trying to iron out some procedures every day for at least ten hours including Sunday's.
"I need a day outside the office," I said. "I'm starting to forget what the sun looks like!"
She kissed me on the lips. "Thanks baby, you are the best. Mom says she'll cook you a nice dinner for payment."
"Then it's settled. Let her know I'll be there first thing Friday morning."
+++++
Friday morning came and the day was perfect. I was glad that I was getting a quick start on the roof though because the forecast called for a scorcher. I packed my tools in my Benz (Is that even allowed? Isn't there some sort of law about using a car like that as a construction vehicle? If there isn't, there should be) and kissed LeAnne good bye.
"Mom will be home about six and I should get there right after her. We'll have dinner and make a night of it. Don't forget to pack your swim trunks, you'll want to hop in the pool if we get the heat they predicted. Thanks again baby!"
After a quick stop at Home Depot for some shingles and a box of roofing nails, I pulled into LeAnne's moms' house just after eight. There were no cars in the driveway, her mother and sister having already left for work. I let myself into the house and found a note on the kitchen table:
"Mike, thanks so much for taking care of this. Help yourself to anything in the house, there is lemonade in the fridge and some lunch meat so you can have a sandwich when you get hungry. Feel free to use the pool, towels are in the pool house. I'll be home at six and I'll start dinner then. Call me at work if you need anything."
I took a few moments to walk around the house. It was a big place, much bigger than you would expect a single woman to own but LeAnne had told me that she had gotten it in her first divorce. She had raised her two daughters here and they had both moved back in with her after college. Now it was just Debbie and LeAnne's sister Carolyn living here, since LeAnne had moved in with me.
The walls of the family room were covered in pictures, most of them people that I didn't know. There were also a lot of pictures of the three of them, the girls and their mother. Debbie was a beautiful woman and she had passed her looks onto her daughters, both of whom had inherited her blonde hair, striking blue eyes and slender figure. Even in her forties, Debbie was still one hot lady.
I went out to the garage and mounted the ladder, hopping on the roof to survey the damage. It wasn't bad, a few loose shingles that had broken away and some plywood that had gotten wet and was going to need replaced. I gathered the tools that I needed and set to work.
The work was going easy and I was enjoying the sun on my back. A little after ten I took a break to get some lemonade. I stood in the kitchen looking out the back door, contemplating a dip in the pool. The crystal clear water looked cool and inviting, but I figured that once I got in I wouldn't want to get back out and I still had a few hours of work to go before I could call it a day.
I had put the pitcher back in the fridge and was rinsing out my glass when I heard a car pull into the drive. A car door slammed and the front door of the house opened. Footsteps approached the kitchen and in walked LeAnne's sister Carolyn.
Carolyn is a couple of years younger than LeAnne and is just as sexy β but in a different way. She was blessed with her mothers' blonde hair and blue eyes too, but where LeAnne's body was the well muscled type that one associates with cheerleaders, Carolyn had the slender figure of a dancer. Her eyes are very large in her narrow face, and her hair was cut short and was hung down to her chin in tight little spiral curls, a perfect match for her bubbly personality. Her chest was smaller than her sisters but not unappealing and her legs were long and lean from her year as a ballet dancer. I'm totally a leg man and as nice as LeAnne's are, her sisters are about the most perfect pair I have ever seen.
