I recognized those legs and those tiny hot pink jogging shorts-- even though I only saw them out of the corner of my eye. It was my 8:10 to 8:15 a.m. morning jogger. The girl I waited for: running past my sliding door and my balcony every weekday morning as I sipped my coffee.
I couldn't start my workday without her. And there she was: on a folding chair, in her driveway, holding a garage sale.
I had just driven back from the bank with a wad of cash for the weekend. My wife and I had just bought a townhome in this complex a few months ago, and our credit cards were near-maxed. She would surely kill me if I spent a lot of that cash on a silly garage sale.
But...
It was my morning jogger, the beautiful bouncy blonde who started my day. And she was selling whole gift sets of expensive body lotions at a bargain price. My wife was crazy about body lotion...
So, I stopped the car and got out. The blonde girl looked to me with a hopeful smile. With that smile, I was pretty much lost. I smiled back.
I went straight to her display of lotions. She seemed amazed by that. She put down her book and walked over. I could tell she was sizing me up as a likely buyer.
"Your wife, right?"
"She loves lotions" I admitted. Oh my god: she was such a sweet, sunny, smiling blonde vision closeup. And she smelled fantastic too-- nice and fresh like straight from her shower.
"These are really nice sets!" I had to keep speaking to distract her from the fact that I just wanted to pull up my own chair and take in her soft, firm, curvaceous beauty for a couple of hours.
"Oh yeah." She picked one gift pack up. "SkinImIn. I used to sell these... or really, I tried to sell these and then got stuck after I ran out of girlfriends with extra cash!"
"Hannah," she said, offering her hand. She was so soft and warm in my hand that I had to resist an impulse to take that hand up to my lips.
"Well..." I looked around. "This set is great: 'LovelyLegs'... do you use this?" Oh what an idiot! I instantly turned red at the implication that I was admiring her long, perfectly muscled legs.
"Why, yes sir!" she responded with an goofy attempt at a curtsy. "Don't be embarrassed!" Hannah put her hand on my arm. "I run about six days a week to keep these lovely legs in shape!"
Was it time to tell all? I decided to plunge in. What the hell...
"I live in the last townhome on that dead-end street." I pointed. "I don't start my workday until I see you jogging" I almost said 'bouncing' "past my slider. You're just--"
Damn it! Thirty-nine-years-old and still tongue-tied around gorgeous females!
"-- you're my beautiful wake-up call."
There. It was out there.
"Is it my legs?" Hannah was rubbing my left bicep now, standing close. What a question!
"Well! I've always been a leg man, and--"
"Can you believe my husband told me to wear these short pink shorts today? Told me it would help 'drum up business.' I think... I know he's jealous of how I dress when I run: he thinks I do it deliberately so that guys are staring at my legs and watching me... bounce. He was such a jerk today."
She shook her head.
I saw an opportunity. "I'll take these but ummm..."
"What?"
I took a deep breath. "I love to rub these lotions on my wife. I will pay you full price for these-- plus $30-- if you let me try it out. Let me rub some on your legs."
Hannah stared at me. "You live in the complex, right?"
I nodded.
"And you're married?"
Nodding again. This wasn't going well.
"Let me see your driver's license."
"Huh?" That came out of nowhere.
"Let me see it! If we're gonna do this--" she glanced around "--it would have to be in the back of the garage, out of sight."
I handed my license over.
"Just watch things for me!" She ran into her house and slammed the door.
'Holy shit,' I thought. She didn't say no but-- what the hell?!
Hannah came bouncing out after three or four minutes. She handed me my license back and motioned me to join her in back of some boxes. She opened up two metal folding chairs and set them facing each other.
"You're gonna pay me double original price. And buy the rest of these lotion sets. Okay?"
I nodded numbly.
Hannah kicked off her flip-flops and plopped down on her chair. I sat facing her. Her legs were incredible.
"You can see the driveway right?"
I nodded, afraid to speak and break the spell.
"But no one can see me-- or my legs?"
I nodded again, but...
"What was all that about my license?"
Hannah smiled. "I looked you up and I made a copy-- which I hid. And I sent a copy to my email. So... if they find my beautiful body somewhere-- you're screwed!"
I gulped. "You are thorough!"
"A girl's gotta be careful." She shrugged. "Are you gonna start massaging me? You're paying for it."
I took a deep breath. I spread my legs and patted the space on the chair in between. Hannah started with her right foot. I rubbed in that lotion from her toes to just above her knees, really working it in to the muscles in back of her legs.
"Wow." She was sighing. "You do know what you're doing."
I kept pulling my chair closer. I was above her left knee now, high on her thighs.
