The sound of my BMW Z4 engine soared momentarily as I downshifted and approached my driveway.
I had finally made the big purchase and bought my own home. I really couldn't believe it! Not just any home, it was a lakefront home with a two-acre lot. Computers were my business and it made me a lot of money.
I entered the work force in a dream job, part-time, even before I graduated college. I had arranged my first vacation to coincide with the purchase of this house so I could enjoy setting it up. I knew I would need a hand in decorating. A feminine touch. There was no shortage of ideas from the women co-workers.
My lot was long and narrow compared to the other homes and cottages. Each one had it's own unique character. This was not a prefab neighborhood. My house had a two story 3 bedrooms. I had shrubs growing on the left side of the driveway and on the right a landscaped beautiful stone walkway through a winding garden leading up to the elevated porch that spanned the entire width of the home.
I parked out back behind the house, like most people did here. Looking across the groomed lawns I saw my neighbor washing her car. She was wearing tight cut off frayed jeans and a small yellow bikini top. I had not yet met her.
She was a brunette with long straight hair. She had a very slim build and it seemed she was my age.
I assume she still lived with her parents because there were several cars in the driveway and could see an older woman through the large kitchen window working.
Looking back to the brunette, I waved to her and smiled and shouted, "I see you have your hands full. Come on over sometime when you have time". She replied, "Yes, that would be great. Her eyes shown bright as I felt her gaze checking me out from head to toe. I was glad for the expensive monkey suit now. Not so much when they offered me the job and laid out the dress code.
"Maybe a swim if you're up to it?"
My hobby was freestyle swimming ever since high school; maybe she was a kindred aqua naught like me.
Weeks went by and I hadn't seen her. I figured she had a boyfriend or something and was just being nice. Then I started to notice her car in the driveway very late just before I went to bed. I hoped it was a case that our schedules where just opposite and we would eventually meet.
As usual I came home and her car was not in the driveway. I developed a routine of going for a swim just after getting home. It was mid summer and it was very hot, even in the late afternoon.
I walked past some cedar trees on the way down to the lake and I gazed into the distance and saw her sitting there on my dock. Sitting with her legs crossed and bare feet on the edge of the dock she leaned forward to resume swirling her fingers over the edge in the water. As I approached our eyes met again. She smiled briefly then tried to contain it. When my feet touched the edge of the dock I kicked off my loafers and asked, "How are you"?
She replied, "Better now". "My mom says you could set a watch by you. I work at the hospital so I keep missing my chance to meet you".
I said "I figured you were out at your boyfriends every night". I pulled off my socks and tossed them on the grass. Man it felt so good to stretch out my toes and feel the warmth of the wooden planks along the dock.
"No, last boyfriend took off to be a rock star or something. That was just out of highschool. Guess I am kinda married to my job. She giggled half-heartedly.
Man she was gorgeous! A slim narrow face with big brown eyes, delicate hands and feet and a small fetish of mine is small ears.
Walking past her I saw she was wearing some baggy very worn jeans with a pink halter-top. Her jeans were so loose they pulled away from her back as she bent forward and swirled her fingers in the water some more.
I could see she wasn't wearing any underwear, I could see the top half her bum and where her bikini had left a tan line. Rolling up my long pants I sat next to her and put my feet into the water.
I concluded she had been over weight at one point and dropped in size.
When I was just about to say something she pulled her hand out of the water, seemingly accidentally, splashing some water on mine. Our hands touched and instinctively I reached for hers. At first looking very surprised and then gripping mine she broke out into a full beautiful smile.
She tossed her hair back and the halter-top pulled tighter and I could see the outline of her small reddish-brown nipples in the strong sunlight. Her long brown hair moved past her shoulders as the wind seemed to dance with it. Her jeans played with my mind with each new breath she took, opening and closing around her stomach while revealing a toned stomach and an insy belly button.
Swallowing hard I said, "Like to go for a swim"?
She replied, "Sure, I would love to. I am pretty good at it now, I must admit a bit competitive".
