This is my very first submission and I welcome positive/constructive critiques. I am trying to improve my writing and hope you enjoy the story.

"Are you sure you want to do this?" The car idled in the parking space of Avalon Apartments. The lights of the parking lot combined with the faint light from the dashboard served to illuminate the two young women in the front seat.
"Only shot I've got. My parents are away for the weekend and I have two nights to make this happen."
Jen looked at Melissa worriedly. "You didn't answer my question. Are you sure you want to do this?"
Melissa peered through the car window and gazed at the light in the upper apartment. They had driven through the parking lot to make sure his car was here. He was in.
She took a deep breath. "Yeah, I'm sure."
"Can I ask why? I mean you have plenty of guys who would love to take you out. Why him?"
Melissa looked at her and shrugged. "I don't know. There's something about him. He's always been there for us...for me." At her friend's raised eyebrows, she hurriedly continued. "He's funny and caring. Gentle and kind. And I don't know, when he looks at me I just want to melt into him. I know he's older than me."
"Ya think?"
"But he's not that much older. I mean he's my dad's friend but he's not old enough to be
my
dad. Well unless he knocked up my mom at age fifteen or so. It's not like he and my dad were old high school buddies or anything. They met at work and became friends...so it's not that big of a taboo right?"
Jen just looked at her and said, "If you say so" and handed Melissa the cell phone. "Okay, moment of truth."
Melissa looked at the small pink phone in her hand and took another steadying breath before dialing his number. She counted the rings while she waited for him to pick up. When she reached four she began to worry. What if he had gone out with friends and taken one of their cars. Or even worse what if he had gone out on a date and was currently with said date in the very apartment she was watching right now. Images of what he might be doing to some other woman leapt into her mind, making her jealous and aroused all at the same time. Melissa began to chew at her lower lip. By the time she got to ring number six she was about to hang up and cry in frustration, when she heard his voice. For a moment she thought she had reached his voicemail and so it took her a moment to realize that it was a live voice on the other end of the dial tone.
"Hello...hello." His deep voice rumbled into the phone and caused Melissa to pause for just a moment.
"Hello?" he said again impatiently.
"U-Uncle Robert?" Meliisa stammered. She wished she weren't so nervous, but everything she wanted was on the line. She had been waiting for this opportunity for three months now. Longer if you counted the years she'd had a crush on him. But it was only three months ago that she had turned eighteen and decided that for her birthday she was going to get her own birthday present—that being in the form of her father's good friend Robert Sheehan. She had plotted and waited for the perfect time. That time was now. She just had to make this work!
"Lissa?"
She smiled at his childhood nickname for her and blew out the deep breath she didn't know she had been holding. "Yeah Uncle Robert, it's me."
"Is everything okay?"
"Oh yeah... yes. Everything's fine. Well kind of fine. See I'm in a bit of trouble—"
"What's wrong? Where are you?" he interrupted. She could hear the anxiousness in his voice and couldn't help looking at Jen with a smile.
"Wait, wait. I'm fine. But I have a problem." She crossed her fingers and began the rehearsed tale. "You know how Mom and Dad went out of town for the weekend for their anniversary? Well Jen and I decided to go out for a little while tonight and I wasn't thinking and left my keys inside the house. Which means I'm now locked out. I was hoping you might still have the spare set."
"Um...yeah, they're right here. I assume you want to borrow them."
Melissa gave Jen a thumbs up and continued on to the second part of the story. "Well, see there is one other little problem. Jen has to be home in like twenty minutes. There's no way she could get to your place, grab the keys, drop me off at home and still get home in time. But your apartment is on her way home. If she dropped me off, would you be willing to give me a lift back home?"
The two girls traded worried looks in the fractured light. Melissa reached out for Jen's hand, needing the support as she waited for Robert's answer. She heard a sigh.
"Yeah, I can do that. Where are you?"
Melissa squeezed Jen's hand and smiled. "About five minutes away. See you then. Thanks Uncle Robert. You're the best!" She made a kissy noise into the phone and quickly disconnected the call.
"Eeeeeee!" The two girls hugged over the console. "Omigod! Omigod! I can't believe that worked!"
Jen pulled back and looked Melissa in the face. "So you are going to do this. You are seriously going to try to seduce your dad's friend?"
Melissa again looked at the light in the upper apartment window and bit her lower lip. "Yep, I sure am." Then she clenched her thighs together as the mere thought caused her to pussy to pulse in anticipation.
"Okay. Well, let's get this show on the road." Jen pulled out of the parking space, in order to circle the block. They had decided that it would be better for her to pull up to Robert's apartment, just in case he happened to be looking out the window for Melissa.

Robert set down the phone and shook his head. Man why did this shit always happen to him? Here he was ready to have a nice quiet night at home, and she had to fuck it up. She being little Lissa Grant. God if ever there was temptation in physical form it was Melissa. He had known her since she was a little nine year girl in pink ballet shoes doing pirouettes in the living room. He had gone to little girl ballet recitals, middle school softball games, and high school track meets. Everything had been fine until about a year ago, when one day he had looked at Little Lissa and seen not the daughter of his good friend, but a stunningly beautiful young woman.
The years of first dance and then various sports had helped to shape a lithe, svelte, muscled body. Her hair had gone from the blonde of childhood to a darker, richly hued brunette of almost adulthood. He didn't know if she colored it or if it had darkened on its own, but whichever it was soft and beautiful and every now and then he caught its light citrus scent when he hugged her. Her eyes were still the most beautiful shade of blue-grey though, that had never changed. From the time she was little she had these eyes that would shift color depending on what she was wearing or feeling. You could always tell if she was angry because her eyes would become bluer, while in the winter her eyes became a weird almost grey color as if to complement the weather. Lately though he had begun to wonder what color her eyes would become if she were aroused. His cock began to stir at the thought.
God, what would her father, and his friend, do to him if he ever figured out that Robert was having positively pornographic thoughts about his daughter?
Robert scrubbed a hand over his face. He never wanted to find out the answer to that question. Better to just get the keys and take Lissa home. A quick in and out, he groaned at the ironic turn of phrase, and then he could get back to his plans for the night. Or to be more accurate his lack of plans for the evening.
Figuring that the whole debacle would be over faster the sooner he had Melissa in the car and on the way home, Robert grabbed his car keys and the spare set of keys to her house and went outside to wait for her. He walked down the stairs and let the night chill cool him, hoping that it would have an effect on his thoughts and his body. Leaning railing at the foot of the stairs he waited for Melissa and her friend to show.
**********
"Oh shit!" Melissa groaned as she spotted Robert lounging against the bottom of the stairs. His feet were crossed at the ankles and his hands were in his pockets. The cool breeze ruffled his hair and she had the urge to walk up and brush it back it place.
"What? What's wrong?" Jen asked.
"What's wrong? He's supposed to be upstairs in his apartment. How am I going to convince him to sleep with me if I can't even get him in a room with a bed?" Melissa moaned.
Jen tried to answer helpfully, "Well there's always the backseat of his car."
Melissa mock punched her friend in the arm. "I'm serious. What am I going to do? He looks like he's ready to just jump in the car and take me home. I need to get him somewhere where we can get, you know..."
"Naked?"Jen supplied.
"Horizontal," Melissa answered.
Jen laughed, "Oh honey, horizontal is so not necessary!" Melissa giggled in reply and then sobered. Taking a deep breath she looked first at Robert waiting for her and then back at her best friend.
"Wish me luck?"
