Next door to where I live is a newish 4 condo building (one to each floor, all fairly large). The units have a tiny rear deck (about 4' X 10"). My place is the only home on the block with a back yard/garden; everyone else on the block has done a build-out or tear–down, then re-building a much larger home covering the whole footprint of their property. As a result, all of the local squirrels come to die in my back yard. One my pleasures is working in my gardens (small in front and larger in the rear). I trim perennials and plant annuals. There's a singles bar nearby, so I also clean up stuff like beer cans and rubbers passersby leave behind. It's a gentrified environment.
The summer before last on a very warm July day, I was sweating up a storm in the back yard moving dirt around and digging up weeds. Taking a break, I had just finished a cold beer when I heard the lilting tone of a female voice—
"Hi Michael, your garden looks great."
I looked up at the second floor condo and saw Cindy, a then 40 -something divorcée, mother of Alex--a 6 year old dilettante. She was leaning over her deck railing giving me a
come hither
smile. She was and is very attractive. She does seem to flaunt her trim, toned and very shapely body at every opportunity (I love flaunters). Although the sun's glare was impeding my view, I could see Cindy wearing a very sexy bikini. She was hosing down her deck.
Cindy had then been living next door to me for about two years. She was very friendly. Some of the happily young- marrieds on our block thought her a bit
too
friendly. She was often out front with her son playing. She used the building's garden hose to spray him and cool herself as well. Cindy seemingly never wore a bra and her tee shirts and shorts often got wet. Her water-chilled pointy nipples were clearly visible and when she wore a thinner fabric, her beautifully shaped breasts could be seen as if she were in a wet tee shirt contest. When Cindy and Alex were outside there was an inordinate amount of dogs being walked by men of the many local households. Although feigning indifference to leering stares, Cindy clearly enjoyed exhibiting her toned lithe body and. being ogled
Cindy had been to our home a few times: Once for a casual dinner with lots of neighbors and then for our annual Halloween party. I loved her last year's costume--a very cute little white nurse's outfit. It was predictably white with deep décolletage with outlandish push-up bra. Her rounded perky breasts seemed to be lying on top of the bra, her nipples almost peeking out of her low cut bodice.
The very short outfit showed off her super legs, long, tanned and shapely. She seemed taller than her 5'3." Cindy had a
profound
effect upon one of my golf buddies, a heart surgeon, accompanied by his loving wife. (I have a video of him looking up her white dress while purportedly picking up his fallen napkin.) Cindy left early to pick up Alex—my suburban buddy left shortly thereafter.
Cindy's penchant's for wearing borderline provocative clothing turned me on but, because of her proximity to my home, discretion (and faked disinterest) was
my
strategy. Other than her nerdy ex-husband coming by for visitation with Alex, I had yet to see her with a date. A very horny shrink friend from down the street thought her an exhibitionist with latent narcissistic tendencies. I asked him what the hell that meant and he said "I dunno, but I'd love to do her."
Cindy apparently comes from a well-to-do family; her parents often visited—separately, each with their new spouses, deluging her and the kid with their largess. She is at the U of C (MBA program). She is very smart and made great eye contact. She often bitched about her ex-husband, which, I guess is normal in cases of divorce and custody.
When she called down to me that day, I considered possible scenarios and consequences. But, as my good old dad used to caution me, "a stiff pecker has no brains." My dick had no idea there was an inherent danger in my staring at the little triangular piece of material covering her bottom. Nor did it react defensively to Cindy's cute round breasts spilling out of her tiny bikini top. I was hooked when she casually pulled her top slightly away from her bosom, and mimicking an ingénue, she sprayed her breasts with the hose. I knew she knew I couldn't see her nakedness but she giggled, shivered and seemed to revel in her little tease.
Debonair, sophisticated and stalwart guy that I thought myself, I immediately felt the increased stiffness in my loins as Mr. Boner awoke. I realized my face was sodden with dirt, sweat and vegetation. I took the hose and sprayed myself soaking my tee shirt but washing away some of the crud. Eloquently, I shouted up to her:
"Hey, great swimsuit!"
She pirouetted and flexed her cute firm ass at me, looked over her shoulder and said, "you like it?" In my suave voice I replied, "what's not to like?"
We chatted/gossiped and, banalities accomplished, Cindy asked: "How long will Carol (my wife) be gone?" Curious and a bit puzzled, I asked, "how do you know she's away?"
"I saw her get in a cab with a pretty big suitcase this AM—are you guys OK?" (Pure Cindy).
Being a kind, sensitive guy, I responded: "she left me to join a convent dedicated to the patron saint of shopping--
St. Tiffany
." Seeing that my inane attempt at humor went flying past her, I continued: "she'll be back in 5 days." Not seeming very interested, Cindy segued:
"I need to ask your advice about something; can you come over later for a few minutes?" I asked her what the nature of her problem was, and she answered, "my ex is giving me trouble about Alex; can we talk, please?" I told her I wasn't very conversant in family law but she persisted. Weighing the gravity of her problems and looking at her body, I ruminated about the situation.
Like any prudent, faithful husband who fears a neighbor might see him entering Cindy's condo, I declined:" Sorry, I'm expecting a call from an overseas client this evening." My thought processes were however,
very
different as I inwardly prayed, "please let her offer to come to my house." At this point I had no idea what I wanted of, or with this sexy person—I just knew I wanted to see more of her (body).
Music to my aging ears: "Alex is with his sitter until later this evening, how 'bout I come over to your house in an hour?" Good neighbor that I considered myself, I grudgingly acquiesced. I went upstairs where a cool shower and an icy Ketel One awaited.
Buzzed slightly from the vodka and comfy in workout shorts and a tee, I opened the door to Cindy.
"Hi, good grief, you clean up nice!," taken aback by her freshened appearance and striking good looks. "Come on in!"
She had put on a little make-up and some sultry perfume (my olfactory nerve is my best asset).Her short auburn hair was tossed, as if fresh from a shower. She also seemed taller—I noticed her heeled sandals as she passed me to go up the stairs. But the real wowser was her outfit: A short, tiny black tee baring substantial firm tanned flesh below—all the way below—to a very low cut black, soft cotton, matching mini skirt. I followed her swaying ass up the stairs. Discovering the color of her panties became my short term goal.
Cindy plopped own on the couch in the living room, sighed deeply and demurely asked, "may I have a glass of wine?"
"Sure, white or red?" She smiled and said "Chardonnay, if it's OK?" She seemed to bat her eyes coyly as she looked up at me. I went to the kitchen, poured the wine, retrieved my drink and joined her on the couch. She had leaned back against the armrest with her tanned bare legs stretched out on the cushions, sandals kicked off. I sat down opposite her, trying, albeit with difficulty, to keep my eyes away from the hem of her very short skirt. We touched glasses and Cindy took a deep sip of wine, looked at me quizzically, and began to relate to her alleged problem:
"My ex is giving me a lot of trouble about visitation with Alex." That seemed strange because the ex seemed (to me) like a decent guy, visits regularly, brings the kid home on time, and Alex seemed to be in good spirits around his father. In answer to a question I politely posed, her ex was current in support and all financial obligations. Cindy eyes then began to tear up. Somewhat angrily she said, "I just don't have any time to myself, he's always calling and dropping by to see Alex." Ah, I thought to myself, a case of an over attentive dad.
I again began explaining that a domestic relations was not my forte when Cindy started crying. My "what's the matter, Cindy?" was countered with "can I have a tissue?" Bewildered, but with lewdness in my heart, I brought her some Kleenex. She wiped her eyes miraculously not disturbing her light makeup, and looked up at me, and in a complete change in tone said:
"Can I REALLY talk to you and tell you what's REALLY happening? Why I REALLY need someone on my side? Honestly, I don't know who to turn to." She crossed one long over the other and leaned back. Sympathetically, I said "of course" (while thinking, "no bra, that little shirt is barely covering the undersides of her breasts...maybe she'll lean back further."
I softly and gently told her that she might think about getting some help-- a therapist perhaps? Cindy looked at me, paused and responded: "Only if he's as cute and nice as you."
