The sun was so hot for July, no wind blew and it was simply sweltering as Jim sat at the edge of the pool with his feet in the water. He watched people swimming and diving and just hanging out much like he was. Some drank mixed drinks, while others lay about sunning themselves. It reminded him of how Lizards would sun themselves on Rocks for warmth. He couldn't help but smile at the thought of that big older lady laying on her back in the far corner of the pool in her two piece which was obviously outdated and too small for her swelled body. She had a white towel covering her face and although the folds of flesh lay exposed to the world, she lay without a care in the world. He noticed her subtle nuances and noticed pretty quickly how her bikini bottom was pressed against her pubic mound tightly to reveal the outline of her vagina as she lay there. Whether or not she was aware of it was unknown, but Jim thought that she probably knew and didn't mind this little slice of exhibitionism. Most people didn't as long as they thought nobody noticed yet secretly hoped it was on a Times Square billboard at mid day.
Jim thought about his wife Marie and their two kids who were in Nevada visiting family and how it was going to be three long weeks until they returned. He wondered to himself if after week two the sight of the older, overweight woman in her two piece bikini would be attractive to him after a three week dry spell and then decided that it'd been only two days and she was already starting to look good.
He stood and walked back over to his lounge chair and sat down and lay back. He threw his sunglasses on and drifted off to sleep for a few minutes only to be awakened by the mother of one of his daughter's friends. Jim sat up, and removed his sunglasses to meet the mid forties mother of three. She was a bit chubby, Jim could tell she'd not worked out in ages, hell to be honest neither had he. She stood a mere five foot six, with blonde hair and pouty lips. She wasn't a supermodel by any means but she wasn't dog ugly either, she was just your everyday run of the mill woman.
"Mr. Richards?"
Jim smiled and extended his hand to her. He never passed on a chance to touch someone. "Jim" He stated as their palms collided in a light handshake. Jim held her hand as long as possible and then released her, "What can I do for you?"
She too wore a bikini, which was pink but a one piece and clung firmly to her heavy bosom and without straining to see, Jim could easily see the razor stubble at her bikini line and knew the curtains didn't match the drapes as they always said. He didn't care, she was female, and smelled of honey suckle and for now her nipples straining against the spandex suit was all it took to keep his undivided attention.
She said, "I would like to ask a favor as it were, is there somewhere we could talk privately?"
Jim said, "Of course, would my apartment be alright?"
She nodded her affirmation and Jim got to his feet, gathered his things and walked shoulder to shoulder with her out the pool gate exchanging pleasantries into the apartment complex parking lot. Outside the gate, he again reaches for her hand, which she offered without resistance. He felt her smooth flesh and drew close enough yet again to smell the perfume on her. He inquired, "And your name is?"
She smiled a huge smile and returned, "Sorry, I'm Caroline. Bethany's mother."
Jim smiled back as he released her hand, "Well, Caroline, It's a pleasure to meet you. Since we've moved here, I've wanted to meet you. After all your daughter spends more time at our apartment than she does yours, but we love having her."
He led Caroline to the door which he graciously unlocked and opened allowing her to enter first. As he entered behind her he noticed her daughter Bethany was in tow and let the tall lanky girl inside as well. She was two inches above her mother's height and nearly as tall as he but she didn't have any of her mother's physical traits yet. Jim said, "Bethany, make yourself at home, you know where the kitchen is if you need anything and the computer in the back is working if you'd like to get on the internet while your mother and I get acquainted a bit."
Bethany didn't answer just went to the task of fixing herself a drink and she momentarily disappeared down the hall. Jim held out his hand in the direction of the couch.
"Please have a seat. Make yourself at home."
Caroline easily seated herself on the end of the couch, while Jim in his wet shorts stood at the edge of the chair mere feet away. He asked, "Now, may I offer you a glass of wine Caroline?"
She giggled, Jim could easily see she wasn't accustomed to this type of treatment, "Yes, she replied.
Jim entered the kitchen and poured her a glass of white wine and returned it to her which she graciously thanked him for.
Jim stated, "Caroline, would you mind if I changed out of my shorts and into something dry?"
"She gave him a look up and down and replied, "Of course not..."
Jim eased to the bedroom after excusing himself and proceeded to change clothes and soon uttered, "Damn it!"
Caroline stood and walked to the end of the hall where Jim stood in his bedroom doorway wrapped in a beach towel. He looked at her sheepishly and said, "I'm sorry. I haven't done laundry yet, everything's out in the washing machine wet also. I'm sorry Caroline. If you'd like to come back later we can talk then."
She said, "No, it's all right, just wear the towel and I'll be on my way. It won't take long I promise."
Jim returned to the living room in only his beach towel and sat across from her in the recliner.
"Jim, I need a favor. I know that you and I don't know one another very well but Dennis and I are going away for the weekend and we need someone to keep an eye on Bethany. I know I'm probably being overprotective and yes she's eighteen now but I still don't trust that she won't have a bunch of boys over or worse leave the house unlocked and someone to take everything we've got. Bethany's a smart girl, just a little air headed. Would you be interested in anything like that?"
Jim said, "Sure Caroline, if you can just provide her with some money for food and stuff. I don't really have a lot but I'll take care of her and feed her and watch her. If she's anything like my kids, she'll spend all weekend facebooking™ and myspaceing™ and instant messaging until her fingers are ready to fall off. Still for you, I'd be happy to give it a shot."
Caroline exhaled a sigh of relief and said, "Thank you so much!" She quickly reach into her cleavage and produced a fifty dollar bill and handed it to Jim who was doing his best to keep the towel clenched tightly. Jim replied, "Thank you."
He sat back down as Caroline took a final sip of her wine and said, "Jim now on a serious note, Bethany's a bit of a voyeur so you might be careful around her if you know what I mean. Jim replied, "Of course, I'll remain dressed at all times."
Caroline said, "That's not necessary she is after all a high school senior now, I guess what I'm asking is that my daughter is not like other girls her age, she's very sexually active, I mean to the extremes and she's prone to tease and show parts of herself that she shouldn't show as long as it's a game to her. Dennis although is her step father but that didn't stop her from peeping him in the shower and taking cell phone pictures of him and then doing well, you know in her bedroom to those pictures later!"
Jim nodded as if he knew exactly what she meant and finally asked, "So what you're telling me is that she likes to watch and then take pictures and then masturbate to those pictures later?..."
"Bingo!" Was Caroline's response.
Jim growing ever more concerned said, "Caroline, I have to be honest, I'm the type of guy that is finally away from his wife after twenty years and I was hoping to spend most of my time comfortable if you know what I mean."
