This is the first time I have ever written anything, so I would really appreciate any comments, on how I can improve or change this as I would like to make it a series of short stories about this couple.
*****
Claire had wanted tom from the moment she had laid eyes on him. Their children went to the same school so she saw him often. He was married and Claire was also with someone and she knew she shouldn't have these feelings but it was something she had no control over. He was older than she was, possibly 10+ but it barely showed, strong muscular body and smooth skin. She tried to ignore them and find something else to occupy her mind but every Monday when she saw him walk into the playground her heart would melt and she would fall for him all over again.
She wanted to know if he felt the same, as she has noticed over the last few months he had been looking at her more and more often, or was that just wishful thinking. She hoped not. They had a lot in common and as a passing comment she suggested that he came over for a cup of coffee one day. Claire's other half worked long hours and so was never really home, she spent most of her time alone and she wanted someone to keep her company, and they wouldn't be interrupted. She never thought he would agree but he did and they set a date.
The night before tom was due to come over Claire prepared herself. She had a long hot shower, washed her hair with the best shampoo and conditioner, coconut, her favourite smell, and hopefully his. She shaved her legs, and everywhere else, and then exfoliated. she wanted to be perfect and smooth for him. She dried herself and then moisturised her entire body. Claire woke up early even though she had already picked out her outfit the day before. She had chosen a fitted cream pencil skirt, a fitted cream shirt with 3/4 length flared sleeves. A brown belt and brown kitten heels. It all matched perfectly with her tanned complexion and mousey brown hair. Her makeup was simple but she made sure she accentuated her lips. She was sure he always looked at them the most.
She met him at the school as usual and this morning he gave her an even bigger smile hello than usual. She noticed he was looking at her up and down so she guessed he approved of her wardrobe choice. After the school run was done he walked Claire back to her car and they agreed that he would follow her but she still gave him directions in case he fell behind in traffic. He parked opposite the house and followed inside.
