This chapter is one of those stories that grows out of examining a character while you are writing about them. I was indulging in a bit of 'What would Kristie do,' and this tale is the result. It was not planned from the beginning, but it fits nicely.
As always, please know that in this story, as with the rest of my works, I am not going for realism. I just try to achieve the plausibly ridiculous.
Cheers!

THE BACKYARD MILF 3
------------
"Hey Colleen," I heard a guy say to my mother, who was across the produce section from me. I looked up to see Scott West pushing a grocery cart toward my mother.
"Hello Scott. Good to see you," I heard my mother reply. "Reggie," she called to me quickly, "did you find any good tomatoes?"
"They all suck, Mom," I replied. "Can we go with Romas? They at least look okay."
"Sure, fine," she said. Mom didn't like Romas, but she hated wrinkly tomatoes more. She and Scott chatted quietly, but both kept their eyes on me as I walked over with the oblong tomatoes.
I looked in Scott's cart. "When are you going to drink some decent beer?" I demanded. There were two cases of Bud Light in there.
"Listen, whippersnapper," Scott replied, his voice pretending to have the high quaver of an eighty year old man, instead of the big, athletic dude he was. "I don't cotton to you kids today and your stank-ass IPAs."
"I drink gin, old man," I laughed. "And I'm just saying, you might as well drink White Claw as this bilge water."
"Hey!" Scott protested.
"Hey!" Mom protested too. "I like White Claw!"
Ouch.
"In fact, go get me a pack of the Black Raspberry White Claw, please," she added.
Shit. I've got to pay more attention to what is in the fridge before I get myself in trouble... I turned and trudged away. I looked back and saw the two of them laughing at me and talking conspiratorially.
Fuck. Now I had to go to the other end of the store, and then walk back, across the whole fucking Publix, in public, with a box of White Claw in my hands. I felt like an eighteen year old girl.
Speaking of which, I rounded the corner to the beer and other sad beverages aisle, only to run into my obnoxious younger snitch of a neighbor, Sandy Hammond, who was grabbing a six pack of Miller.
Cluelessly, I asked, "Your parents drink Miller?"
She shot upright, yanking her hand free of the six pack. "Uh, yeah," she replied.
You are a dumbass, Reggie, I thought. Of course her parents don't drink Miller. Nobody drinks Miller... except probably Scott West and underage kids. She may have busted me when she was thirteen, but I was hardly going to bust her now.
I smiled and shrugged. "I hope you have a good ID," I smirked, making it clear that I was above busting her. Then I had to throw away my overly mature high ground by picking up a twelve pack of Black Raspberry White Claw. I walked away, head held high. Own your losses, people.

I spent the next morning plotting a new way to spy on Kristie. She liked the spy pictures I had sent her, letting her know that I had seen her without her knowing, and I was pretty sure she had decided that I needed to send her more pictures... if I wanted any more appreciation. This was not a hardship. But it was a challenge.
I could have easily have stayed home and just spied on her at that moment, but the mornings were her work hours, and she had made it clear that I was not to do anything then. She was very good at her job and wanted no distractions, like showing off for her peeping tom.
I had photographed and videoed her from various locations in the back yard. It felt played out.
I thought about mounting a camera on the trellis or the fence, but explaining that to my parents if they discovered it would be the height of difficult. Besides, that way, it would be the camera watching Kristie, not me, and I would get no fun out of that!
It was ditto, if to a lesser extent, in the case of my drone. It felt more sexy, but was also impossible. Stealthy, those things were not.
Technology was not the answer, I felt.
I was contemplating hiding inside her house, which felt like an escalation I wasn't ready for yet, when my phone buzzed. I was floating naked in our pool and paddled the floating chair over to the side where my phone was. My parents were both at work, and I had been enjoying a morning in the sun.
Kristie
: Heads up. A co-worker from France has been here in the US for a week, and is extending her stay with a long weekend. She will be down here and staying with me. Please let's suspend any play in my house and yard
There was a brief pause.
Kristie
: Until she is gone
Me
: Yes, ma'am! [Broken Heart Emoji]
Kristie
: Go fuck someone your own age this weekend.
Me
: Yes ma'am! {Eggplant Emoji]
Kristie
: Whatever
Kristie
: Just leave me alone until Patrice is gone. I don't know if I'd have to explain you or share you...
I looked at that last text for a good while. My hand seemed to feel like it ought to stroke my dick.
What was that last text supposed to even mean? She makes it clear that she wants me to back off, then she chums the waters like that?
Kristie was an incurable flirt. It was probably just her being her. But now she had made me curious about this Patrice person.
I started listening to anything I could hear from Kristie's side of the fence. She was working in the backyard again that Wednesday. She wore a headset all workday, but I could sometimes hear her side of the conversation.
It was fairly boring stuff. It usually was, which was why I usually didn't bother to listen. But then I heard something useful.
"Listen, Harold, I've been texting with Patrice this morning. I'm going to take a personal day Friday and make it a long weekend. I think I'll take our south of France friend and show her Miami Beach at some point." She suddenly barked a sharp, scandalized laugh. "You're a pig, Harold! And don't you wish."
The beach...
Miami Beach is one of the few public beaches in America where women can go topless legally. There is even one stretch of it that is clothing optional. Was Kristie going to take her French colleague and get a little loose and free?
It was a delicious idea, but honestly, I doubted it. I knew she had a very freaky side, but virtually the rest of the world knew her as a sweet, conservative woman. Regardless, it was a very enchanting speculation.
And I had nothing to do over the weekend... Nothing was stopping me from going to the beach. And taking a trip would not be anything related to Kristie's house or yard.
A few surreptitious pictures of her and this other woman on the beach, in whatever style of dress, would be just the kind of pervy, forbidden stuff to get Kristie revving hard when I sent them to her after the woman left.
This led to a number of challenges, though. Miami Beach is miles and miles long. I had no idea where they would go. Or when. I'd never tried tailing anyone before, and my car is brightly colored. I looked over at my keys, as I thought about my old, distinctly non-stealth SAAB. She'd make me for sure if I tried following her car to the beach.
Wait. I looked at my key ring.
Perhaps technology was the answer after all, I thought. I got out of the pool, wrapped a towel around my waist, and picked up the little electronic locater tag that helped me find my keys, wherever they were. I detached the tag from my key ring. Kristie parked her car in her driveway, not her garage...
So, I could find them, or at least where they parked. I just needed to send this little tag for a ride on or in her car.
I fired up my phone and did a little research on surreptitious photography...
