My Aunty Paula came to live with us after she separated from her deadbeat husband, he was totally weird, and she had had enough.
I didn't mind her living with us; she used to take me horse riding when I was a teenager and there was a trampoline in one of the barns that I was allowed to use.
We got on well and eventually she moved out into a rented house, just up the road from the pub I used to hang out in.
Sometimes I would call in on her on my way back from the pub, if her living room lights were on.
I would bring a small bottle of cider for her as she couldn't get down to the pub, due to having two kids. Babysitters were scarce where we lived, out in rural Cambridgeshire.
She enjoyed the company and so did I, I didn't have a girlfriend, they were in short supply too and I was not that confident around females...yet.
One Friday night, the kids weren't there, things had thawed between her and the ex, to the point where they could stay at his place for one weekend a month.
It was early summer and the weather was set to be gorgeous for several days.
"What are you up to this weekend?" Aunty Paula asked, sipping on her cider.
She had been sunbathing in the backyard all afternoon, she looked like she was developing a tan and was wearing a yellow Kaftan,
Sitting with her legs crossed, the silky material had ridden up her leg and exposed a firm thigh, shaped and defined by years of riding horses.
For the first time ever, I felt a twinge of lust. I always knew she had a great pair of tits and a cute arse, I had just accepted that as part of who she was, but on this evening, I momentarily saw those assets in a different light...I put it to the back of my mind, labeling them as errant thoughts.
"Tomorrow I'm going fishing out at Cranbourne Lakes, see if I can catch an enormous Carp"
This was true, I liked the solitude of Carp fishing, and the rewards when it all went well were worth it.
"I have never been there, what's it like?" she asked.
"Great, some of the swims are set up for those who like to fish overnight, hedges around them, so you can camp and get some shelter". I replied.
"Are you night fishing?"
"I'm going up there late morning, getting set up to fish into dusk...that's the plan anyway".
Paula looked thoughtful and said "I'd like to come up with you if that's OK? I like being beside the water and maybe I can sunbathe while you fish. It's so nice to have the kids over at Dave's, I can do exactly what I like for once!"
"OK, I'll pick you up at 11 tomorrow morning then".
With that, I left and walked the half mile back home.
Next day, I picked Aunty Paula up in my trusty Mini, my first car and my ticket to freedom.
I had only been driving for a couple of months and still got a real buzz out of going wherever I pleased.
Paula was wearing the Kaftan again; I got another twinge as the fabric clung around her breasts as a small gust of wind blew the yellow material against their profile.
I thought I caught sight of a jutting nipple and then caught myself and suppressed the thoughts again. I would be fishing with company and so no having a wank in the privacy of the hedge-enclosed fishing spot, as I usually did, when the fishing was slow.
We chatted as I drove us the 45 mins to Cranbourne Lakes, which were deserted as the main group of fishermen, who frequented the lakes, were die-hard night fishermen, like Vampires, they avoided daylight.
We got set up at the far end of the lake, where a bay, with patches of water lilies on the surface of the calm water, created its own seclusion and, more importantly for Aunty Paula, caught the sun from lunchtime to dusk.
Getting my fishing gear ready, I baited up and cast into a likely looking spot, and then sat down to wait, Carp fishing is all about waiting.
I had an umbrella up to keep the sun off me and Aunty Paula found a suntrap between two bushes and made herself comfortable.
But we were disturbed by an almighty tug on my line, against all the odds and perceived wisdom, a Carp had sucked down the floating piece of bread and fucked off at full speed with it.
The fight was tense and draining in the heat, but eventually, I landed the beast and took his photo, weighed him and did what Carp fishermen do.
"That looked like fun".
In the heat of battle I had almost forgotten Aunty Paula, she was standing, watching me, draped in her Kaftan in such a way as I felt that she had thrown it on in a hurry and come over to see what the commotion was.
"Sure was" I said, "really wasn't expecting a bite that soon!"
"Well done, I've never seen a fish that big before" congratulated Aunty Paula.
She paused, as if thinking and then said:
"Before you cast out again, can you give me a hand with something?"
