I'm Paul, 34, single with no kids, spending a week at a Mexican five-star resort with my parents, my older brother Kyle, his wife Beth, and their two kids. It's been great being with them, away from the usual family tensions found when everyone piles into my parent's house. The resort is beautiful and luxurious, with several pools, restaurants, and right on the beach.
After a couple of days, I was in a good routine. Initially, I had naively thought there might be groups of singles traveling here, but it was pretty much families. A few attractive college-age girls occasionally graced the pool, but this wasn't the place to meet anyone. My family would be leaving early Saturday to get back for a soccer tournament, and I had booked my stay to Sunday since I was already here.
I was alone in the main hot tub mid-morning on day five when an attractive woman I hadn't noticed before got in. She was about my age, with dark hair in a ponytail and a pretty face obscured by big sunglasses. She was maybe 5' 4'' with a curvy but healthy-looking tanned body in a sensible blue one-piece.
We both smiled, said hello, and sat quietly. The momentary peace was disturbed when a young boy practically cannon balled into the tub, sending water everywhere. The woman calmly apologized and instructed her son to do the same. I told them not to worry and that I was glad the kids had fun here. She smiled and soon the mother and son were excitedly planning their day, and I went on my way.
In the afternoon I saw her relaxing in the sun, looking innocently sexy, reading a book alone in a grouping of four lounge chairs marked with towels. A very typical scene here, but I did note that she didn't wear a wedding ring.
That night, while having a fun dinner with my family beside the ocean, I spotted her yet again. She was at a nearby table of four; she was with her son, but I was somewhat surprised to see the other two appeared to be her parents. They were having a great time laughing and telling stories. She was even prettier without her sunglasses; she smiled with her big blue eyes, and they sparkled in the candlelight. A natural, understated beauty, she had her hair down and wore a patterned dress that revealed just a bit of cleavage. I tried not to stare and to stay focused on the great company I had with me.
As we left, we walked by her table. I made eye contact and smiled, and she reciprocated. I suddenly felt a jab in my back and spun around to see my laughing sister-in-law.
Beth whispered, "I didn't know you were into single moms!"
"Come on, I smile at everyone!" I shot back defensively.
She laughed and rolled her eyes, "Ya, right you do!"
As day six unfolded, we spent the morning on a sailing excursion, and in the afternoon, my parents were taking their grandkids kids to do some crafts in the activity center, leaving Kyle, Beth, and myself to have some cocktails at the pool. We all got along great, and were certainly enjoying the scene. The waiter hadn't been around in a while, so I got up to fetch a round of Pacificos from the bar.
I felt butterflies as my crush walked up to the bar just ahead of me, not seeing me. This time she was wearing a cute but modest orange bikini, and I was grateful to see a bit more of her body. She didn't appear to have tattoos, and she had a delightfully plump ass with a slight jiggle as she walked.
We waited in line for a moment, and then she saw me greeting me with an enthusiastic, "Oh, hi!"
I blurted something awkward in response, just as it was her time to order. I noticed she was sincerely warm and friendly with everyone. Her family, the staff, and me. So I cautioned myself not to read too much into her friendly nature as she beamed a bright smile at me as she left with her smoothies.
Kyle must have seen me looking at her, because when I got back with the beer he started making a siren sound and pretending to speak into a walkie-talkie, repeating, "MILF ALERT! MILF ALERT!" several times.
As soon as I thought he moved on, a different woman with a child walked by prompting Kyle's siren again.
"Ok Kyle, that's it!" instructed Beth.
I'm used to Kyle being a goof, but it was pretty funny and we were all still having fun.
An hour passed, and still by the pool, Beth kicked my leg discreetly and said, "Bro, there's your chance."
I look up and see my crush get in the smaller hot tub alone. I motioned "shhh" to Beth; she nodded, and I quickly made my way over to the hot tub. I got in, acting as if it was just a coincidence I was there.
We immediately started talking; we shared about our family groups here and about the fun we were having. After several minutes, she complained of being too hot and hopped up on the edge of the tub. She looked amazing in her bikini. She had beautiful, large breasts, a tan she likely acquired before the vacation, and a slightly Rubenesque but strong feminine body. I followed her lead, but as I got out, my light trunks clung tightly to me, obviously outlining my slightly enlarged crotch. I quickly pulled on the fabric, and she giggled.
We were both wearing sunglasses and had maybe three or four minutes to check each other out before her father joined us. He was just as friendly; we talked about the history of the area and exchanged restaurant and activity recommendations. I told him they'd especially enjoy the sailing trip we had just been on.
As they got up to leave, I stood and extended my hand to the father, introducing myself: "I'm Paul; nice to meet you."
He replied, "I'm Bill, and this is my daughter Claire."
Sensing he was old school, I then put my hand out to shake with Claire, which she thought was amusing.
She responded with a serious look and a nod while doing a very firm and exaggerated up-and-down handshake and a fake low voice, "Pleased to meet you, Paul."
Bill chucked, "Stop being silly, Claire; let's go find the others."
I watched as they walked away and was thrilled when she turned back for a quick look.
She was awesome, but I still wondered if she liked me or if she just had one of those outgoing personalities. I also conceded that it didn't matter; she was rightly busy with her family here, and wouldn't have time for anything else.
