My name is Raymond, Ray to my friends, and I am ashamed to admit, Nancy to my Aunt Caroline. We'll get to that later. I'm twenty-nine years old in reasonable good shape. My story starts about ten years ago when I was just nineteen. It was the day after my birthday, so it's easy to remember. Mom, dad, my sister Amy and I were up early. My Aunt Caroline was moving in with us. We had a big house, and after her divorce my mom invited her to live with us, at least for a while. I gave her my room which had its own bath and shower, and I moved into the remodeled attic, which I preferred anyway. It had an outside stairway so I wouldn't bother anyone coming and going.
Dad and I moved several cardboard boxes in the attic for storage and a couple of rolling racks of garment bags of Aunt Caroline's, which wouldn't be in my way.
I should mention that Aunt Caroline is in her mid fifties, a few years older than mom is. Our whole family, me included have the dinner table curse as my mom calls it. Just a few pounds here and there.
That first week was a little hectic but things eventually settled down to a routine, or so I thought. I came home late one evening after stopping for a burger and I made it all the way to my little attic apartment. Well, not quite. I was walking down the short hallway when I stumbled on a box. Burger went one way, French fries another and me on top of the box. I managed to hang onto the vanilla shake. Before I got up I promised my self to turn the lights on after that. I looked down at the box; it was one of Aunt Caroline's.
It was full of lingerie. Not the kind that you would expect a middle aged woman to have. I looked as best I could while I cleaned up my burger and fries. Lots of fancy undies, lacy and sexy. I shoved the box out of the way and went in to eat my dinner. I really wanted to look more, I mean I was a nineteen your old boy after all, but I certainly didn't want to get caught snooping.
The next morning I was up early. Not because of anything I needed to do, but because of the noise. I carefully opened my apartment door and saw Aunt Caroline trying to move several of her boxes that dad and I moved there.
"Oh Raymond. Please excuse a clumsy old lady. I'm looking for something and these boxes didn't seem so heavy when I packed them." Aunt Caroline said standing up.
