It was just a normal baby-sitting job. I was sitting for Angela and Peter and it was going to be an all-nighter. Apparently they were going to a party that would run on to the not so small hours of the morning. I had no objection. I got paid by the hour, whether I was up and chasing children or sleeping in the spare bedroom while the kids also slept.
I arrived as requested and played with the kids while Angela and Peter got dressed. About the time they told me they'd be leaving there was a knock on the door. I would have left it for Angela but she yelled out for me to let him in. Let who in, I wondered.
Danny, it turned out. Thank god they were leaving shortly. Danny is Peter's older brother, about ten years older. Seeing Peter is mid-twenties that makes Danny mid-thirties. I don't dislike Danny but he does tend to tease me, which gives me the irrits.
I said good evening in a polite manner and didn't react when he winked at.
"Can't stay and flirt with you, love," he said with a big smile. "We're about to take off."
"How unfortunate," I murmured, keeping my face totally blank. "I don't know how I shall console myself."
The rotten man laughed and headed for the children who were happy to see him. It was going to take me a half hour to calm them down again once he left. I just knew it.
Angela and Peter came out, all ready to go. Farewells were said and the trio departed. I settled down to calming the kids down, drat the man.
I didn't dislike Danny. As a matter of fact I quite liked him in a platonic, older man, fashion. Not what I would consider to be boyfriend material. I mean, really, my eighteen to his thirty-five or so meant that he was double my age. He was also a big man, two, maybe three, times my size. I'll go with three as, like I said, he was a big man.
Eventually the kids flaked out and I tucked them into bed. A while later I was prepared to flake out and so I went to bed. My normal nightly attire consisted of either baby-doll pyjamas or lacy nighties. Not when I was sitting, however. It was a case of let's not give any husbands the wrong idea, there are always some who like to chance their arm. When sitting I wear sensible and comfortable flannel pyjamas. (Of course, I could look sexy in them if I so chose, just not when I'm sitting.)
I was dead to the world minutes after hitting the pillow. Unfortunately I didn't remain that way. I woke up with severe bladder pressure. I knew I shouldn't have had that drink immediately prior to going to bed, or at least I should have gone to the toilet straight after. Now I was going to have to get up and go. It was pitch black and I tapped on my phone to get a little light. Freaking four am. No one should be awake at four am. I wondered if Angela and Peter were home yet. Not that it mattered. If they were they'd be in bed and asleep, which was where I wanted to be.
I turned on my bedroom light and the hall light. I hate wandering around in the dark. You never know what might be hiding in it. You know, nasty things like spiders and roaches and the occasional ghost. I hit the bathroom (and that light as well) and attended to my bladder problem.
Maybe I was in a bit too much of a hurry as I left the bathroom. I was trying to look in two directions at once, one eye on the light switch and one on the door handle. Fortunately the door was the lever type. Just swipe in the general direction and you'd get it. I caught it as I was turning off the light and hurried out before the door opened properly. This resulted in the stupid lever type door handle catching on my pyjamas. I felt the tug and heard something rip and then I was out and hustling down the hall. I decided I didn't like lever type door handles after all. A nice smooth knob didn't catch on your clothes and tear them.
All the above distracted me for a moment, just as I was heading full bore down the hallway. It belatedly registered on me that Danny was standing there with a startled look on his face and one hand outstretched to fend me off. Too little, too late. I crashed full into him. I didn't knock him over but I did set him back on his heels and finished up plastered over him.
Somehow or other his hand had finished up covering my breast. Not my pyjamas but my actual breast, with skin to skin contact. Looking down I could see that the stupid door handle had hooked my top between a couple of buttons and the tearing sound had been one of the buttons coming off and the other coming undone, my top now gaping wide, giving Danny an invitation for a free feel.
Considering everything I couldn't even accuse him of making a grab. He'd been standing still and I'd just gone and thrust my boob onto his open hand. Who could blame him if his hand had automatically closed over it? Not me, apparently. I just stood there and stared as he started caressing my breast.
"Um," I said, which wasn't really a very witty thing to say in this situation.
"Umm," he agreed, but his um sounded sincerely appreciative where mine had just been startled nerves.
