My next few trips over to Wilma's were relatively mundane, although I was building up my reputation as a good son-in-law. Sue came along each time, so I didn't get any alone time with Wilma. And worse, I had to be careful to only kiss her on the cheek and not linger too long with the hugging. I only managed to whisper in her ear a few times about how beautiful she was and that I loved her. I could tell she really appreciated it because would give me an extra smile or gently squeeze my hand. I felt eager to be alone with her again, but I didn't know when it would happen. My next opportunity didn't come until halfway through Charles' four week trip away.
I had just come home from work on a Friday when Sue greeted me with a smile. "David, honey, would you mind heading over to my mom's house and doing a few chores for her. She said it could wait until tomorrow, but if you handle it tonight, that will give you a full weekend to rest. She promised me that she would feed you dinner and I know she enjoys your company." Sue smiled, hoping I would agree. I tried to not seem too eager.
"Sure, hon. I don't mind helping her out. I know it's been rough on her with your dad away this long." I kissed Sue and dressed in work clothes before heading over to my mother-in-law's house. I slowed my pace and took a deep breath as I knocked on Wilma's front door and was blown away when she opened it. She stood there smiling in a nice modest dress, her long dark hair pulled back in a neat pony tail, heels, and makeup. She looked like she was ready for a nice dinner out or date. I was so shocked by how nice she looked that I just stood there absorbing her beauty.
"Are you okay, David?" Wilma asked, offering a sly smile.
"Um, yeah... wow! You look amazing!" I could tell by the slight blush in her cheeks that I had given the response she was looking for. I stepped in for a hug, but then realized I looked like a bum and thought I might soil her appearance my scruffy look. She ignored my clothing and gave me the warmest hug yet. When she turned to kiss me, per the usual routine, I slowly turned my face to hers. She waited for me, then planted a soft sweet kiss on my lips. I kissed her back, barely maintaining control. It was our most intimate kiss to date and it felt like heaven.
"I love you, Wilma." I said it with more conviction than usual and she replied, "I love you, too, David." Then she gave me another quick kiss as I stepped inside and closed the door. I never even considered that neighbors might have witnessed the entire thing, but I hoped it hadn't been too out of the ordinary.
"So, Wilma, what needs to be done around here? I'm happy to get on it for you." She looked up at me and then looked away.
"I hope you won't be angry with me, but I really don't have anything I need you to do. I just wanted to see you and spend some time alone with you again. That's why I'm dressed like this. I haven't been on a date in such a long time and you always treat me so sweetly, I thought you might just hang around with me for a little while and have dinner." Wilma slowly raised her eyes to mine to see my reaction.
I was dumbfounded by the revelation that Wilma just wanted to spend time with me. It was better than I could have hoped for. I looked her in the eyes, "Of course I want to spend time with you! I think you're amazing and I love being around you." I smiled and put my hand on her shoulder. "I just wish I would have dressed a little nicer for you. I feel bad looking the way I do with you looking so lovely."
Wilma took my hand and walked me slowly into the living room. "I figured you might come dressed like this, so I bought you these." She pointed to some fresh new clothing sitting on the sofa. "It's my gift to you for doing all the chores around here." She grinned. "I told Sue about my plan to reward you with a new outfit for helping me out and she gave me all your sizes. So, just use my bedroom to shower and change. I'll be waiting out here with a nice big glass of grape juice for you." She winked and went to the kitchen to get the wine.
I was beyond excited. I walked quickly into the bedroom, stripped my clothes off and piled them on a chair. Then I was in the shower and trying to keep my erection at ease. When I finished, I quickly dressed up in the new clothing and headed to the living room. Wilma was sitting casually on the love seat, sipping her wine. My large glass awaited me on the side table, I picked it up and sat down. "To a nice evening with my son-in-law." She raised her glass to mine and clinked. "With David", I corrected her. She nodded and sipped her wine.
