I looked around me in satisfaction; all the moving boxes were emptied and everything packed away neatly. I even managed to hang some pictures already. I slowly turned 360 degrees and looked around. I heaved a big sigh. Small, but it's my new home.
Me and my boyfriend had broken up, which forced me to find somewhere smaller to live. The rent for the house we lived in together was paid for with both our salaries and I couldn't continue to live there on my modest teacher salary. I did get lucky with my new place. It was part of the second floor of a big old house. I had my own bedroom, living room with open plan kitchen and a surprisingly roomy bathroom with a bath and separate shower. The apartment also had its own entrance with wooden stairs coming up the outside of the house, entering into the kitchen and it had a small balcony. Not very big, but enough for a comfortable chair and a small table. Perfect for doing my marking outside when the weather was nice. The house belonged to an old colleague of my father and this apartment used to be lived in by his daughter before she moved out. Her two older brothers had moved out several years before and Nick and his wife Jo had offered it to me for a very reasonable rent.
I heard a knock on the door coming from the inside of the house into my living room, and I called out that it was unlocked. The door was opened and in walked Nick.
"Hey Saskia, did you manage everything or do you need help with anything?"
I shook my head. "I managed everything, thanks."
"Great. I know you've been busy and you are probably not in the mood for cooking anymore, so why don't you join me and Jo for dinner?"
I nodded my head enthusiastically. "That would be great, thanks. I was thinking about ordering a pizza, but on a Friday night it will take ages. Let me just take a quick shower and I will be down."
Half an hour later I was sitting in the downstairs dining room. Nick was sitting at the head of the table on my left and Jo was sitting across from me. Jo was a really good cook, and I ate the pasta with great enjoyment. Conversation flowed easily, talking about my job (Special Needs teacher), Nick's staff (he was an architect with his own company and 5 people working for him) and the weird situations Jo encountered at the tourist office where she worked part-time.
While we were talking and laughing I looked at Nick inconspicuously from under my eyelashes. With his 53 years old he was 19 years older than myself, with an awesome body for somebody his age. He did some boxing training and he ran several times a week and it showed. Standing at 6'3" he was a full foot taller than me and he had shortish brown curly hair that was showing quite a bit of grey around the temples, something I've always found sexy. Nick had the most gorgeous bright blue eyes that I could imagine seeing right through my clothes! I thought him completely fuckable and fancied him big time. It was too bad he was married. I stay away from men who are already in a relationship because it can only end in trouble and heartache. On top of that Nick and Jo had been married for almost 25 years with three adult children so their marriage must be pretty solid. I sternly told my inner self to stop drooling and go away, this man was not for me!
Jo was absolutely tiny, especially compared to Nick. At only 4'9" she was even much shorter than me, and I consider myself quite short at 5'3". Our body shapes were completely different as well. She was built quite athletic with nice proportions and boobs that looked no bigger than a B-cup. I was much more voluptuously built with bigger curves and soft DD breasts. Jo had lovely black, curly hair that she kept fairly short whereas I had straight brown hair that came to my shoulders.
