"Mom! MOM! MOM! I need to go to the bathroom!" One of the kids was yelling, while further in the house the others were right at that edge where any second they would start fighting and scream for her to come solve their problems. Which would be they could both just stay in separate rooms and stop fighting because they were bored. "MOM!"
"Just go! Just go to the bathroom if you have to go!" Just barely catching herself from screaming back at him.
"Okay mommy." It would be cute if it wasn't the MILLIONTH time he'd done it, if there wasn't a MILLION more in the weeks to come, the little shit toddling off to the bathroom.
Her eyes drifted out the window where she saw him returning. The handsome young man who walked off ten minute before. She knew it was mostly her imagination, no way she could see from this distance but his ass had looked SO good before. God she wanted to find a reason to go out and just watch him pass, maybe applaud him and throw money at him so he'd walk back and forth for her. Sad that that would be the most fun she'd have for days.
He was even more tempting now than he had been before. Walking back, clearly without a worry in the fucking world, a twelve pack of Guinness in each hand, no doubt from the local C-Store at the corner. Her mouth watered with the idea of a beer, a real beer! Her and her husband had been drinking through box wine, it was cheaper since they were going through a couple glasses a day but it sucked. She thought her husband went over all pretentious when he drank wine, even the cheap shit. It was probably the quarantine talking but if he said, "Notes of..." one more fucking time she was going to smash her wine glass into his face. She already knew what she'd ask when the blood poured out of his nose and into his mouth, "Let me guess it's got notes of Iron and a fucking bitch who dipshit sommelier, doesn't it?"
Yeah, for sure it was the isolation talking, weeks stuck at home, weeks more ahead of them. The itch to go out to the yard was even greater, this time to ask him to throw her a beer. She wasn't much, just a former blonde now Quarantine brunette she knew she probably wouldn't get a second look from a young twenty-something guy like that. Darla was a mother of two and a step mother of one, married for ten years, thirty still but so close to forty that she figured she might as well get used to that idea. Yeah, when she looked in the mirror she didn't see too many signs of age, although she thought any minute she'd be gray and craggle faced. All she saw was a pretty but never pretty enough woman, with friendly blue eyes, a body nobody ever called tight or alluring but that she still kept at it with daily exercise, working hard even though her husband was well into his Quarantine Body. Then again he'd had years of a head start of the pandemic. Not Darla who sometimes, if the morning was warm enough, would go out back in their privacy fenced in yard, out behind the shed. Out to get some sun. Usually combining some exercise and just stripping down to her bra and panties as she warmed herself up with calisthenics. Not too worried about her tits bouncing around because they weren't that big to be a hassle.
It was difficult to shake off the phantom taste of beer that had come to her mouth at the sight of the Guinness. Knowing if she brought up beer her fucking husband would talk about some IPA or some other thing that was as far from a beer as a beer could get. That he wouldn't let her get what she wanted, that he'd whimper and fucking whine until...
"Mom! Mom! Mom he won't..." The cry... Broke her.
All she meant to do was get out of the house. For a second. First into the mudroom, a long hallway that lead both to the front door and back. Through the front door she saw the hot young neighbor boy go not into his house but his garage. A bit nosy and a bit of a stalker she knew he had a refrigerator in there. His Beer Cooler she had no doubt. He went in and left the big garage door open, in her mind's eye she saw him popping one of the beers before taking a drink. Just standing in there fucking waiting for her to come over and...
"Mom? MOM?" Dad was sitting right there with his fucking headphones on pretending he couldn't hear anything, but he always heard when she said dinner was ready.
She ran, luckily their little neighborhood was quiet as fuck with everyone staying home. Uncaring if her husband saw her, her kids, or any other neighbors she ran across the street and into the garage. It was almost exactly like she had imagined, both him and the inside of the garage. More party room than car storage, there were some posters of sports teams on the walls, a bar, a refrigerator, and a stack of folded chairs and tables for his semi-frequent (Until recent circumstances!) parties.
While he did spin on a heel when she burst in, panting at the short run, which told her that her jogs up and down their toy strewn backyard were not doing her any good, he didn't scream or anything. After a few seconds of surprise, a curious half smile came to his face. He was maybe not as handsome as she had imagined, but that was probably better, she wasn't as far below his league as she thought.
"I'm sorry but... I know it's illegal and dangerous but... Nobody in my house has been out of the house in weeks, we're as safe as we can get, and I've been watching you. You're all alone." Feeling flustered, mostly embarrassed that she had done this without even thinking.
"Yeah, you have no idea how nice it is to talk to somebody without them pixelating every few seconds in a webcam chat." He looked relieved which made her relax, happiness to be out of the house taking place of any embarrassment about this.
"You have no idea how nice it is to talk to anybody else besides a kid or my stupid husband." She regretted even mentioning her marriage, then again she'd called him stupid.
"Yeah, I've heard the goings on of your place a couple of times. You want a beer?" She smiled huge and nodded, probably shouldn't have but she let him pop the top after pulling one out of the already booze filled refrigerator.
"You can hear all the way over here? I'm sorry." But he shrugged, waved it away, watching her put the bottle to her lips in a way that made her nipples hard. Starting and turning away quickly that said he was just as Quarantine Cracked as she was, interested but not a creep to stare without realizing it. She finished taking a long pull of the beer, stopping herself from making it lewd and phallic, or from being too loud with her appreciation. "God I needed this."
"Drink away, I've got plenty more." She already was, he laughed, reaching it to get another one, popping it and holding it out to her before as she finished the first one.
"Thanks." Making sure to touch his hand when she took it, so bad and SO NICE. It was insane but the slight touch was like when she got too tipsy at parties and bent over in front of her husband's friends. Letting them take a peek of her ass (Or cleavage, if her top was really low cut and she was wearing a push up bra.) just a bit of excitement that was nice to do to see if they looked. They usually did, not too much of a compliment considering their wives were all a decade older than her but... A plain girl like her took what she could get. "My name is Darla. Darla Ross."
"Pete Wilson, we're not supposed to shake hands or anything." Just giving her a little wave, which made the brief touch they'd shared shine all the more bright.
It was correct. It was true. But... She needed more from this escape than a couple of beers and a bit of conversation. Totally out of character for her, well except the drunk her who liked to see if she still had it enough to get lured looks from her hubby's friends. Out of Character but...
"You always do what you're supposed to Pete?" Motioning between them, three feet of distance at the most. "You shouldn't let me be standing so close if you do."
"No? Well..." He gulped and shrugged, feeling that there was more going on here. Trying to decide if he was going to chicken out or go for it. "Probably not, I guess I never thought breaking the quarantine would be so... Tempting."
"Tempting? Me?" Pete nodded to her teasing playful questions.
"Tempting. Yeah, is this some kind of sting operation? Sending over a hot lady to trick me into breaking the President and Governor's rules." Taking a deep breath he took a step closer, his eyebrow going up when she felt herself wanting to back away, when she didn't retreat he took the empty bottle from her, putting it on a shelf between a couple of totes. "You know that's entrapment right?"
"You asking if I'm a cop?" Now he put his half full beer bottle into the same spot.
"I heard if you were you had to tell me." His eyes sparkling enough that said he knew that was an old wives tale.
"I'm not."
"No, probably not but you are certainly a trap. Aren't you?"
"I don't think anyone has ever called me that." Wishing she'd done more with her hair than pull it back into a ponytail, put on more make-up than the bare minimum.
"But you are, you freaking know you are." Taking her second beer then, unfinished, there was just enough room in that spot for the three.
