Annie (Chapter I)
Tom and Roger are flying home tonight for a long weekend away from school and I don't know what I am going to do when they get here. I am such an idiot. What will Roger think about my actions when I last saw him? Everything has spun out of control. I could never justify seducing my son's best friend, Roger. Worse yet, I don't think I can stop myself if he wants me again.
I always thought these things happen to other people. Not me. I was always the good girl in school and I could control myself when tempted. My parents were so proud of me and bragged to their friends about how lucky they were to have such a good daughter. I never embarrassed them. I worked hard to stay at the top of my class in math and science. I always went to church on Sundays and sang in the choir. Respect from the teacher, my parents and classmates were important to me. I was a good girl. I never drank, smoked or went too far with the boys I dated. Even my ex-husband had nice things to say about me after our divorce. So, how did I become such a slut?
I live in a nice upper class neighborhood with one of the highest rated school districts in Los Angeles. Country clubs and churches are so numerous in my tree-laden community. The local upscale boutiques knew me by name. The manicured parks are lush and green. Families watched their children play baseball or tennis every weekend. The local schools always win the top prizes in sports and academic contests. My custom-made house sits in an older, established gated community with interesting and influential neighbors. Everything seemed so good in my life. The problem started so innocently.
My son, Tom, stayed home during the summer after he graduated from high school. He continued working part time at the local gym so he would have some extra spending money for college. He made some extra money as a personal trainer. When Tom was not working, he hung out with Roger. Roger had been his best friend for years and they were going to the same school that fall.
The boys did everything together. They went hiking, to the movies and the mall but mainly they just stayed at my house. When they were at my house, they had parties, slept late, watched television, played video games or swam. When Michelle, my best friend, or my other friends visited, the boys were very sociable and pleasant. It was nice having them both around since I was divorced and I was not looking forward to Tom going off to school.
Not that I am lonely. I have had more than my fair share of dates. As a single mother in Los Angeles, you must look good to get any attention. To remain attractive, I work out at the gym four days a week and have maintained a low 12% body fat for many years. While at the gym, I concentrate on maintaining a flat hard stomach with yoga classes and Pilates. Both Michelle and I went to the same gym so we helped motivate each other to work harder. Since Tom worked at the gym, he let us know when we were slacking.
I am proud of all my hard work. I show off the results of my efforts by wearing low-rise jeans and small T-shirts. Men seem to love seeing my soft flat stomach and hard pelvic bones at the bottom of my naked waist. I thought about getting a belly button ring to catch their eye. I stand 5'3" with shoulder length reddish brown hair and I have large gray eyes with full lush lips. My breasts sit high on my chest and tightly fill a C cup. I have seen many men elbowed by their wives for staring at me when I walked by them.
I can attract men just as easily as Michelle does. When Michelle and I go out for the night without her husband, we always attract a lot of attention. Michelle is 5'8" with sandy blonde hair. She is strikingly beautiful with a curvy little figure and should have been a model. She is a natural flirt and always has somebody after her. Yet most of the time, I have someone asking me to dance while Michelle sits at the table by herself. Obviously, I am not desperate.
I make a good living as an emergency room nurse; have a beautiful ranch home with a pool and a new Lexus. When my parents passed away a few years ago, they left me very comfortable financially. I am not a bad catch, but I have not found anybody with whom I want to share the rest of my life. Lately, I have not found anybody worth spending the night with either. If I had, maybe I would not be in so much trouble.
I should have seen this coming. Roger was the youngest of six children while Tom was an only child so our house always seemed so peaceful to Roger. Roger was always over at my house and had become part of the family. He is funny, good looking, intelligent and a good influence on my son. Roger had dark brown eyes, a strong jaw line and short black hair. He had a royal and distinguished look for someone so young.
Roger and Tom had both been on the track team together so he was in good shape. Sometimes, I sat in the garage drinking my morning coffee while watching the boys lift weights. I remember watching Roger's chest muscles flex as the boys bench-pressed. His efforts paid off with a nice V-shape to his upper body. Maybe Roger was a little too good looking for his own good.
When Roger was at my house, I treated him like my son because he felt just like part of the family. Roger used the spare bedroom to store some clothing for when he slept over. I made dinner for them when they stayed at home. I treated Tom and Roger equally. I bought them things I thought they needed. I did their laundry. I criticized or praised them equally. Roger was comfortable in my house and had his own key. I think Roger stayed at our house more than he stayed at home. I liked him.
During the final year of high school, Tom and Roger worked very hard to score high on the college entry exams and to find a good school. Roger spent the night at least four times a week while they studied together. Roger's parents didn't have a lot of money so their house was small and noisy. With five brothers and sisters, it was hard for Roger to study at home so he always studied at our house.
Many times, I would wake up in the middle of the night and get up for a glass of water. After stumbling barefoot down the hall to the kitchen, I would find Roger studying at the kitchen table after everyone had gone to bed. Sometimes, I sat down with him and talked. He liked the break. We would discuss whatever was on his mind like his studies, promising scholarships, girls he was dating or his goals for the coming year. We easily laughed and joked with each other. Roger always seemed to enjoy our evening chats. Then I would kiss him on the cheek and go back to bed.
As the summer started, little things started to bother me. I was always so organized and meticulous, but little things were out of place in my large bedroom. I had decorated my master bedroom in a light and airy West Indies style. The tropical motif made it easy to spot when things were out of place. I noticed my lingerie drawer was out of order and some garments folded incorrectly. Someone left the drawers ajar. Could Tom, Roger, or one of their friends be going through my drawers? What could anyone want in my underwear drawer? I became more observant, but I did not say anything.
I do not know when I first noticed it, but Roger started paying more and more attention to me. When they had friends over, Roger always spent time with me. I kept catching Roger looking at my breasts or legs when he thought I was not looking. Roger seemed to be in my house a lot when Tom was not there. When he talked to me, he always seemed to be touching my arm or back. His delicate touch always turned into a firm hold. If a man called, Roger was always inquisitive about what they wanted. He even started kissing me on the cheek as a greeting. When he hugged me, he pressed my body against his in a way that seemed intimate and lingered too long. Maybe Roger had a crush on me. It was cute.
Before I went out on a date, I always asked the boys for their opinion of my outfit. They were both complimentary but Roger always seemed a little more interested. Roger would stop what he was doing and ask me to model the outfit. Tom would return to his X-box game but Roger was always more interested in me. Since Roger was more complimentary when I wore my sexier outfits, I found myself wearing more enticing outfits to see his reaction, but nothing too racy. He loved all of my outfits and inflated my ego with all of his sweet talk. I felt attractive and desired from all of his attention. Tom never noticed.
