"How on earth did all that happen? I can't really tell you, to be honest..."
Alexis and her mother stepped into my life around 3 years ago. Back then I just filed for my divorce and was not on the lookout for a new relationship. But when Heather welcomed me in the gated community with a smile that could melt the Antarctica I knew things were getting better. What I didn't know on that day, was that her husband had died in a horrible car crash around a year earlier and had left her with her teenage daughter as well as a nice trust fund. That was kind of obligatory in order to live here since the house prices started around $5 million and could easily go beyond the $20 millions. I for myself made my money through my former consulting company, which I sold after the divorce.
So to make things short, Heather and I started dating and before we knew it, we basically lived together. I never felt better in my entire life. Heather was smart, intelligent and had a body to die for. She had her own home gym and taught Yoga to anyone in the gated community that was interested. Alexis looked quite the opposite of Heather. While her mother featured raven black wavy hair she was naturally blond which must have come from her father's line. After he died, she put on some considerable weight, so when I first met her she was quite chubby. But that's where the differences ended, she was equally intelligent, witty and fun to be around with. Simply put, my life was great.
Around a year ago Alexis went to a college and took up studying psychology. For Heather and me this turned out to be a huge change in life. Heather started her own Yoga website and gave lectures around the country, while I picked up my old work and founded a consulting start-up. Seeing each other less than before actually brought us even closer together and supercharged our sex life. Since my expertise was in data mining I could do most of my job from our home. Even Alexis seemed to find a new drive in college. The day she went there she started to shed weight and hit the gym whenever she could. I have to say I really admired her progress. We saw her around once a month and each time the difference was tremendous.
Around some months ago she also changed her wardrobe. Usually she preferred wide cut clothes that would hide her chubby side, not that she had to, now she started to wear far tighter clothes. Nothing provocative, but you could clearly see that she started to feel really comfortable with her body. Heather and I were so happy for her, though we had encouraged her to love her body even if it didn't resembled the typical model ideal.β¨β¨She was about to return home for a two month college break that both Heather and I were very much looking forward to. Finally the three of us were united again, even if it was only for a couple of months. In the midst of this time together Heather got booked for so many Yoga courses, she would be gone half the time. I, on my side, was in the usual decrease of contracts since everyone was on vacation which gave me plenty of time to refill my batteries.
It was on a Sunday morning, as Alexis and I drove Heather to the airport for a three day course in Hawaii, when things started to really change. Heather was already in the car while I pushed all of her baggage into the trunk. Alexis was about to join her mother when out of the corner of my eye I saw her getting into the SUV. At the first moment I thought it must have been a trick of my mind but when I got into the drivers seat I couldn't help but notice an even more dramatic change in her clothes. With such glee she sat in the back, her mother equally smiling, as she shouted that she finally fit in her mother's clothes. Well, almost to be precise, since she seemed to have lost weight almost everywhere besides her bust. So the little low-cut black dress she picked was stretched to the max over her breasts and it was quite clear she didn't wear anything beneath it. I gave a raised eyebrow of concern to Heather while cheering with the two of them. Heather waved my concerns aside with her typical "Oh, let her" face.
After dropping off Heather at the first class counter, we kissed goodbye and Alexis and I headed back to our car. You know, I'm used to other men ogling at Heather when we are around town, but this was an entirely new level. People openly stared at Alexis and some men even tried to sneak pictures of her. I got the feeling Alexis actually enjoyed this new attention she got. I didn't notice that on the way in, but back then I was chatting with Heather about all the things that needed to be taken care of at home. I would lie if I didn't admit that I was relieved when we finally reached the car. It was crystal clear to me that we needed to address this before it got out of hand, but at the same time I didn't want to be Mr. Killjoy to her new found confidence. However, I made a mental note to myself to talk to Heather about this so maybe she could talk to Alexis about that later that week.
As we drove off, we chatted about the things we wanted to do, as I promised her that today would be a father-daughter day. We agreed on going to the mall later so she could get some new clothes, then treat ourselves with coffee and a small BBQ at home for dinner. But as everyday, since she returned home, she wanted to do her morning workout and cardio. I was glad about that, as during that, I could check my e-mails and contact a business partner of mine in Hong Kong.
Our office was located side by side with Heather's gym and Yoga room and shared the large glass window to our pool and terrace. I won't lie, that I enjoyed sneaking peeks at Heather when she did her Yoga routines, though never lurking around, when she had her courses. There was no need for that, since Heather knew about me watching her from time to time, doing her moves, she deliberately teased me with not so yoga-ish moves during her solo sessions.
After about an hour and a half of writing e-mails and chatting with Chan in Hong Kong I saw Alexis walking towards the terrace. Again, she had obviously raided Heather's gym wardrobe. And like earlier everything fit perfectly except for the sports bra, being far too little for her bust. I never realized how lean she got in the past months, due to her clothes, but now she even had slightly visible abs. It really filled me with pride that she accomplished her goal so fast and really enjoyed getting there. I must have stood there for minutes admiring her transformation and I didn't notice that it must have looked creepy for me to be staring at my step-daughter's yoga routine. Her smile snapped me out of this trance like state. Embarrassed I awkwardly smiled back and turned my attention back to my computer. I really hoped she wouldn't bring this up later. I tried my best not to let my eyes wander to her until she was finished.
