Welcome Neighbor Pt 01

WELCOME NEIGHBOR

PART 1

CHAPTER 1

Bruce was looking out the window of his apartment over the garage at his parents home. They had added an upstairs over the garage a number of years ago to build an apartment for extra income. It had paid for itself a couple times over. Bruce was renting it now that he was out of school and working. He was 21 and had graduated from high school 3 years ago and went to work at a local factory on the night shift. He also worked occasionally for his father, who was a general contractor. He was a nice guy, and decent enough looking, but, as we all know, nice guys finish last. So he did not have a girlfriend. He had been on dates with a few girls, but nothing more serious ever developed.

On this day, as he was looking out the window he saw that somebody was moving into the house next door. It had been sitting empty for about 2 years. There was a moving van there with 2 guys unloading furniture, and a small U-haul. As he watched he saw a woman and a young boy come out of the house and get boxes and small stuff out of the U-haul. She looked to be late 30's, pretty, and the boy was probably mid teens. When they came out of the house next time there was also a pretty young girl with them. Bruce's radar came on. She looked to be somewhere around 18 to 20. She had shoulder length, light brown hair, like what Bruce assumed was their mother. She was wearing shorts, displaying a nice set of legs. She had a sweatshirt on as it was a little bit cool.

Bruce finished his coffee, showered, and ate his breakfast sitting at the table watching the people next door. The moving truck had gone by this time. He decided to go over and offer to help so he could meet the young girl. He went over and introduced himself to the mother. She was at the van. "Hi. I'm Bruce Hailey. I live next door. Is there anything I can help with? Unloading? Setting up beds? Moving stuff around inside?"

The lady said, "Oh. Hi. I'm Dorothy. Dot. Cambridge. It's really nice of you to offer, but I couldn't ask you to do that. You don't even know us."

"You didn't ask. I offered. And I don't mind at all. I'm not doing anything, anyway. Just my way of welcoming you to the neighborhood."

The teenage boy had come back out now and Dot introduced him as Liam, her son. Liam said hi and grabbed another box to take in. Dot said, "Well, if you really want to help, that would be awesome. It's just me, Liam, and Sandy. Sandy's my daughter. She's in the house unpacking boxes. But to tell you the truth, she's not a whole lot of help. She's kind of spoiled."

"Sure. What do you want me to do? How about I carry stuff in and that way you can start unpacking and putting things where they belong"

"Yeah. That sounds like a good idea. Thank you so much. That's really sweet of you to come over and offer. This has been a really hard move."

"Is your husband coming to help?"

Dot's smile dropped and her face changed. Bruce didn't know if it was sadness or anger. Maybe both. "No. It's just us. Let's just say my husband decided he didn't want to be a family man anymore."

"Oh. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry."

"It's okay. You didn't know."

Liam and Bruce carried the rest of the boxes and stuff in from the van. Dot was unpacking them and putting stuff away. Bruce was carrying the last box into the kitchen when Sandy came in to ask her mother something. She pretty much ignored him and asked her mother where her stereo was. Bruce took note that she was just as pretty up close as she was from a distance.

Dot told her, "Don't be so rude. This is Bruce. He lives next door. He came over and offered to help. Bruce, this is Sandy, my rude daughter."

He stuck out his hand. "Hi, Sandy. Pleased to meet you. Welcome to the neighborhood."

"Hi. Mom, where's my stereo?"

Dot shook her head with a look of disgust. "Probably in one of those boxes in the living room."

Bruce said, "I'll help you find it."

She smiled and said, "That would be awesome." They went into the living room and Bruce started looking in boxes. Sandy went to her room. When he found it he went in search of her. When he found the room she was in he asked where she wanted it.

"Over there on that shelf. Would you mind hooking it up?"

"No. Not at all." Bruce tried to make small talk as he worked. Asking questions, offering information about the town. Sandy wasn't very talkative.

Bruce helped for a couple of hours, then told Dot he had to go. It was time to get ready for work. She thanked him for all his help and offered to give him a few dollars. He declined and said he was glad to help and to just holler if they needed anything. He went in to say goodbye to Sandy, who just said, "Bye." Liam said, "See you later."

CHAPTER 2

Before going to work Bruce went in and talked to his mom. He told her about the new neighbors. She said she had seen him go over and help out. And told him that was very nice of him. She said she was going over herself very shortly. Then he went to work. He worked the 6 PM to 6 AM shift. 3 12 hour days. Long days, but it was nice being off 4 days.

He went over the next day to see what he could do to help. And get to know Sandy better. They had gotten a lot done. Dot told him she had met his mom. And that his father had come over, also, and offered to help. She said they were very nice people.

He helped with moving furniture around where she wanted it, and repaired a shelf that was coming down. And patched a hole in the wall where someone had bumped it with something or other. He tried talking to Sandy some more but it didn't seem she was interested. But he wasn't giving up. He found himself very strongly attracted to her.

He had just finished his work week so he didn't have to leave so soon today. Dot asked if he would like to stay and have dinner with them. She said she wasn't cooking a big dinner or anything, but they had to eat. Bruce said, "Let me order something so you don't have to cook. You've been working hard and still have a lot to do."

"I couldn't let you do that. I'll throw something together."

"Nonsense. I'm doing it. What do you all like? Pizza? Burgers? Subs? Tacos? Chicken?"

"Well, if you insist. I'm not picky, but I'm sure the kids would like pizza. But you get whatever you want."

"Pizza sounds good to me." He ordered and it was delivered in about 45 minutes. Dot called Sandy and Liam into the kitchen to eat. Dot, Liam, and Bruce chatted as they ate. Bruce tried to talk to Sandy but she didn't have much to say. She was wearing very short shorts today, with a little butt cheek showing. And a halter top. He could now tell her breasts weren't all that big, but they were nice.

Dot tried to get her to talk and get to know their new neighbor but she didn't seem too interested. They finished eating and went back to work. Sandy asked Bruce if he could move her bed, dresser, and desk. She didn't like where they had put them to start with. He willingly jumped right on it. And again tried to make small talk. He asked if there was anything else she needed help with and she said, "Not right now."

"Well, just holler if there is. I'll come a runnin'."

Bruce went over every day the next four days while he was off. Unpacking, moving stuff around, a few repairs here and there, and trying to get to know Sandy. When he went back to work he didn't go over as much. Usually just popped in to say hi and see if they needed anything.

CHAPTER 3

On his next day off he went over to see how they were settling in. They had everything pretty much put away and were just working on the odds and ends stuff now.

Dot was sitting at the kitchen table taking a break and having a cup of coffee. He accepted the offer when she asked if he'd like a cup. She said, "Please. Sit. I want to talk to you about something."

She started out by saying, "Bruce, you're a really sweet guy. Very helpful, kind, and friendly. And that's why I feel I need to say this. It's pretty obvious you have an interest in my daughter. I've seen the way you look at her and try to get her to talk to you. Now, I hate to say anything bad about my own daughter, but I just want to let you know that you're not going to get anywhere with her. She's spoiled rotten. Thanks to her father. I hate to say it, but she's a golddigger. She only dates boys who drive BMW's, Porsche's, Lexus's, or throw a lot of money around. I'm not saying you're poor or anything, but you drive a Honda and seem like a down to earth sort of guy. I just don't want to see you get hurt. And I've seen the way she uses you to do things for her. I hate that trait in her, and I've talked to her about it, but she denies it."

"Thank you for your openness and honesty. I admit I am attracted to her and I have sensed that she isn't attracted to me like I am to her. But I guess I hoped she would change her mind."

"It's unlikely. I wish she would connect with someone like you. All the boys she's dated so far have been real jerks. Rich kids. Spoiled brats. Think the world owes them something."

"I know the type."

"Well. Anyway, I just wanted to warn you. So maybe you don't get hurt. Because you're a good kid, and I like you."

"Thanks. And I think you're a good person, also. And Liam seems like a great kid. And I'm sure Sandy is, too. She just wants something more. I get it."

"Thank you. That's kind of you to say. There is something else I wanted to talk to you about, too. If you're interested. Just tell me if you're not. I can get somebody else."

"Sure. What's up?"

"You've already done a few repairs here. And your mom told me you work with your dad sometimes doing carpentry and construction. So I know you're qualified. So, if you're interested, there is some more work here that needs to be done. I can afford to pay you. I thought it might help you out and save me a little, too, rather than paying a contractor."

"Yeah. I'd be glad to help. And you don't have to pay me. I just want to be helpful."

"That's mighty kind. But I'm not going to let you do it if you don't let me pay you. I don't expect you to do it for nothing. I have some money from the divorce settlement. That's how I bought this place. But, as you've seen, it needs some work."

"Okay. I could use a little extra money. But I won't let you pay me what you would have to pay a contractor."

"Deal. Thank you. And there's no rush. I know of a few things now and I'll let you know as I see more. You can just do them whenever you have time."

Bruce thought this would give him an opportunity to see Sandy more often and possibly change her mind. "I'm off for a couple of days now. I can go ahead and get started if you want."

"Sure, if you want. But like I said, no rush. If you want to enjoy your time off, go ahead."

"No time like the present."

Dot showed him a couple of little things she wanted done. He said he could knock those out in no time. He went home and got a few tools he would need and came back and got started.

CHAPTER 4

Over the next couple of days Bruce spent a lot of time at the Cambridge household. Doing those minor repairs Dot wanted done, and trying to chat up Sandy. It didn't seem to be working, but he wasn't ready to give up.

When he went back to work he didn't go over all week. Then on Friday, his first day off, he went over to put up a shelf Dot wanted in her walk-in closet. And a shoe rack. Dot wasn't home. Liam said she went to the store. He was home from school on spring break.

Bruce went on in and got started. He went home to cut a board for the shelf. When he came back he saw Dot's car in the driveway. He went in but didn't see her anywhere. So he went on in, screwed the shelf on the brackets, and started painting it. While he was painting he heard a noise in the bedroom. He stepped out to see what it was. It was Dot coming in from the shower. She had just dropped the towel she had wrapped around her and was getting ready to get dressed.

Bruce exclaimed, "Oh shit." Dot spun around to face him. She was stunned and froze for a few seconds. Then she quickly bent over, grabbed the towel, and wrapped it around herself. But not before Bruce had seen her nakedness.

"What the fuck are you doing in here? Get out."

"I'm sorry. I was just in the closet putting your shelf up. I'm sorry."

"Just go wait in the kitchen. I'll be right out."

Bruce went to the kitchen as she had asked. He was totally embarrassed. He didn't know what he was going to say to her. And he knew she was probably more embarrassed than he was. While he waited he thought about what he had seen. Dot had been totally nude. It was a very brief glimpse, but he saw that she had quite a nice body. Her tits were not large, but very nice. And when she bent over to get her towel he saw she had a very nice ass. And her legs were quite shapely. He already knew she was a pretty woman but had not really thought anything about it as she was much older than him.

Dot came into the kitchen fully clothed. Bruce started to apologize again but she stopped him. "It's okay. I didn't know you were in there, and you didn't know I was in the shower. It was an accident and I'm sorry I yelled at you. You just startled me and I reacted badly."

"I'm sorry, too. I should have let you know I was there, but I didn't see you when I came back from sawing a board at my house."

"Like I said, it was an accident. No harm done. I'm done in there now if you want to finish."

"Okay. I promise I will find you and let you know I'm here from now on."

"Thanks. That would be great."

He went back and finished painting the shelf and shoe rack he had installed. He also thought about Dot's body. And, Damn! What a body it was. He had never thought about her like that before, but after what he had seen, he certainly thought about her like that now. He pictured it in his mind. Her tits were great. No sag. And it looked like her nipples were hard. Probably cold after getting out of the shower. And her ass was so round and perfect. And her pussy was hairy. Probably didn't shave anymore since her husband left, if she ever did. As mentioned earlier, he already thought she was pretty. She had shoulder length light brown hair, like Sandy's. Her eyes were brown, also. He had also noticed before that she had nice legs. Probably men her age considered her hot. And now, Bruce did, too. She was a MILF. But he told himself nothing would ever happen. He certainly wasn't going to pursue anything, anyway.

CHAPTER 5

Bruce was still a little embarrassed about seeing Dot naked and tried to avoid her when he was over there working. And she felt the same. But they had to talk about the things she wanted done. They got over it pretty quickly and got back to normal.

He and Dot were sitting on the couch having a cup of coffee and chatting one day. Liam was back in school and Sandy was out with some new friends she had made. It seemed Dot needed to vent about her ex. She told him her piece of shit ex, Sammy, had been having an affair with a woman at work. Dot found out by seeing them leaving a hotel one evening. Of course he tried to say nothing was going on, that they were at a business dinner that was being held in the restaurant at that hotel. Dot knew that the restaurant there was closed for remodelling. Her friend was the chef there. She finally got it out of him that it had been going on for a few months. She threw him out and filed for divorce. He didn't fight it and it was over pretty quickly. She got the house but didn't have the means to maintain it, so she sold it and used the money to buy this one. Plus she got a cash settlement as well.

Bruce expressed his sympathy and hugged her when she started crying. She said she was sorry. That she wasn't crying over him. She was glad he was gone. She was crying over the mess her life had become. And that she was alone, with no one to help. Bruce said, "You're not alone. You've got Liam and Sandy. And me. And Mom and Dad love you. And I'm sure you have friends, you mentioned one. And I'm here to help you."

"I know. And thanks. I'm sorry. I just get emotional sometimes."

"And I don't think your life's a mess, either. You seem to be doing pretty good."

"Yeah. You're right. And I am going back to work. I got a job at a law office downtown. I'm a paralegal. I quit working a few years ago, but it's time to go back."

"Good for you. See? Life is good."

"Yes. It is. I need to remember that."

She hugged him and thanked him for listening. He hugged her back and told her "Any time."

They held the embrace for at least a full minute. Bruce liked holding her, and smelling her, and feeling her against him. Then Dot pulled away and said she should get back to what she was doing. She seemed embarrassed and nervous. Bruce wondered if she was having the same kind of thoughts he was and needed to get away before it got out of hand.

He had pretty much given up on Sandy. It looked like that was never going to happen. In fact, he was starting to think she was right much of a bitch. But he kept that opinion to himself. Now he was starting to think about the possibility that maybe Dot would maybe, possibly, be getting horny since she wasn't getting any action. But he figured, too, that even if she was, she wouldn't want him. He was just a kid compared to her. And with her looks she wouldn't have any problem getting a man her own age. And she would be wanting another husband, or at the very least, a long term relationship. And he was not looking for that, especially with an older woman. All he wanted was sex. So he let that notion go, too. And he also admitted that he was the only one thinking those thoughts. When they had hugged she had been embarrassed only by the fact that she had cried and become so emotional. Nothing more.

CHAPTER 6

Bruce continued doing the repairs for Dot. Not every day, but usually one or two days a week when there was something to do, which wasn't every week. Dot started her new job, and Sandy found a guy with a BMW and Daddy's money. Poor sucker.

Bruce and Dot became good friends. And Bruce's parents, as well. They sometimes all played cards, or had a cook-out, or had dinner together. Bruce sometimes hung out with her and Liam in the evening when he wasn't working. They had a good time together. Bruce and Dot would watch TV after Liam went to bed.

One such evening Liam was asleep and Sandy was out with her boyfriend. Bruce and Dot were watching a movie. Dot had changed into her pajamas, which were not sexy at all. They consisted of long pants and a t-shirt. The pants were old and faded and quite ugly. They were a pinkish color and had what looked like they used to be ducks maybe on them. The t-shirt was old and had seen better days. Bruce made fun of her PJ's. He had seen them before and told her how unflattering they were. She hit him on the arm and told him, "Shut up. They're comfortable. I don't wear them to look sexy."

Dot wanted all the rooms painted. But there were a few spots that needed patching and sanding first, so Bruce was there quite a bit over the next few weeks on his days off. Dot and Liam both helped a little bit, too. Sandy was usually gone.

One evening after finishing for the day, the three of them had dinner. Then Liam went out with some friends. It was Friday so he didn't have to be home until 11 PM. Midnight for Sandy, but she didn't pay much attention to curfews. Dot and Bruce sat down to watch a movie and relax. At about 9 PM Dot went in to put on her pajamas. Bruce jokingly said, "Oh no. Not those ratty old things. I guess I better cover my eyes."

"I'll have you know I got some new ones. I hope they meet your standards." She came back out in her new pj's. And, yes, they were much nicer. It was warm weather now so she had bought summer pj's. They were a lightweight pink fabric. Short bottoms and a short sleeved button up top. Not meant to be sexy. Just sleepwear. Bruce smiled, nodded his head, and said, "Oh, yeah. That's better. Now I can look at you without wanting to go to the Salvation Army and get you some new ones."
