Chapter 1 Mrs. Napolitano
Dave Stringer whistled low and long as he brought the truck to a stop in front of the palatial house perched on the hillside.
"Will you look at that" he said. "These people must have some dough."
"Do you want me to wait here?" Dylan asked as Mr. Stringer got out of the truck.
"Nah, you come along. This is going to be one of your clients."
Dylan followed Mr. Stringer up to the front door. A young, slim, attractive woman who appeared to be about Dylan's age answered the door.
"We're from the pool company," Mr. Stringer said. "Is Mrs. Napolitano home?"
"Wait here," the girl said and disappeared into the house.
They waited, standing in the cool, high ceilinged foyer.
Dylan was trying to peer into the living room to the left of the foyer when he heard the click of heels on the tile floor. He looked up and his mouth dropped open. The woman who was coming toward them flowed, as if she was part water or part cloud. Maybe it was the sway of her hips or the tight white dress that ended several inches above her knee, or the way she put one foot carefully in front of the other. Dylan couldn't be sure. She stopped in front of Dylan and his boss and tossed her thick dark hair over one shoulder. She surveyed them coolly. Dylan tried not to stare at the way her round breasts filled out the top of her dress, or her firm, enticing cleavage.
"Can I help you?" She asked. She had a soft Italian accent and an almost angelic face: large, dark eyes, a small straight nose with a slightly upturned tip, and full sensuous lips.
"Mrs. Napolitano?" Stringer asked, holding out his hand. "I'm Dave Stringer from Pools-R-Us. You called about pool maintenance and upkeep."
Mrs. Napolitano reached out and took Mr. Stringer's hand. It looked like she expected him to kiss her hand rather than shake it.
"You'll want to see the pool, si?" she asked.
They followed her through the house. Dylan couldn't take his eyes off of her. The way her tight dressed clung to her tiny waist and hugged her thighs, the enticing wiggle of her ample, but shapely ass. They came out into the backyard. The pool was enormous. Bigger than any pool Dylan had ever seen. It was surrounded on two sides by rocks with grasses, bushes and small trees interspersed, making it look more like a tropical pond than a pool. At the far end the main pool poured over a series of rocks into a smaller pool below. Beyond the smaller pool the valley spread out and you could see the city, and the mountains rising on the far side.
"That's some pool," Mr. Stringer said. "All that vegetation is going to make for some serious cleaning issues."
"Si, it always dirty," Mrs. Napolitano said. "We look at the hot tub now."
"Hot tub?"
"Si, in the pool house, come I show you."
The pool house was easily as big as Dylan's parents' house. There was a large hot tub, a sauna rest rooms, shower rooms, and changing rooms.
"This will need to be treated and cleaned," Mrs. Napolitano said. "And the sauna, shower, toilets, and changing rooms will need to be kept clean."
"Oh, we only do pools," Mr. Stringer said quickly.
Mrs. Napolitano turned and looked at him, one eyebrow raised. "You no want the job?"
"Uh, no, no, not at all," Mr. Stringer said. He glanced at Dylan. "But cleaning the pool house will be extra."
"Money is no an issue," Mrs. Napolitano said.
"I bet," Mr. Stringer muttered under his breath.
"Mi scusi?" Mrs. Napolitano asked.
"When do you want us to start?" Mr. Stringer asked.
"Tomorrow."
"Ok, Dylan here will stop by tomorrow around 2:00," Mr. Stringer said.
Mrs. Napolitano cocked her head and looked Dylan over critically, the way you might look at a car you were purchasing. Dylan tried to stand up straighter.
"How old are you?" Mrs. Napolitano asked.
"18, Ma'am," Dylan replied.
Mrs. Napolitano nodded and then turned to Stringer. "Two o'clock. Why so late?"
"He has other clients' pools to service, but I can change the schedule if that's not a good time."
"I think you no understand," Mrs. Napolitano, said. "I want a full-time pool boy."
"Full-time," Mr. Stringer said. It came out flat. "There's a lot of work here, but not that much. A few hours a day should take care of it."
"Full-time," Mrs. Napolitano repeated.
Stringer looked over at Dylan. "That's $800 per day."
Mrs. Napolitano shrugged.
"Er, is Mr. Napolitano good with this?" Mr. Stringer asked.
Mrs. Napolitano gave Stringer a withering look. "I am 'good with this'."
"Well, alright then. Dylan will be here tomorrow at seven AM. Unless that's too early for you."
"Seven will be fine," Mrs. Napolitano said.
They followed the sway of her hips back to the front door.

The big house was quiet when Dylan arrived the next morning. He parked the van and unloaded the chemicals and tools, carrying them as quietly as possible around the house. First, he tested the PH levels in the pool and then the hot tub. Next, he shocked both as the levels were way off. After that he began to clean. He started with the skimmer. He was just finishing that up when Mrs. Napolitano emerged from the house.
She was wearing a thin white gown and high heels. She stepped elegantly, putting one foot carefully in front of the next. Dylan could see the jiggle of her breasts beneath the shear material.
"Uh, good morning Mrs. Napolitano," he managed, trying to look anywhere but her breasts.
"Boun Giorno," Mrs. Napolitano replied. She stopped in front of him and surveyed the pool.
Dylan stared at the dark outline of her nipples that showed clearly through the thin material of her gown. He looked away. He could feel a stirring in his shorts. He glanced back at her wondering how old she was. Her skin was as perfect as ivory. There were no signs of wrinkles on her forehead or around her eyes.
Mrs. Napolitano frowned. "Can I swim?" she asked.
