Finishing the Work
"How foolish can I be?" she asked herself. Here she was, a very attractive 29 year old woman. Even if her boyfriend didn't seem to notice her tight body, she was often noticed by guys when they went out. Here she was standing in her downstairs hallway, wearing only her little robe and a thong staring out at two middle-aged men taking measurements in the back yard. What had her life come to that this was her excitement? Though she knew she was excited none the less. The younger one had just come in to use the bathroom and while he was using it she had been touching herself and thinking about him, but had forgotten about his friend. Did his friend see her?
She knew they were going to be out there for two more hours. So what else could she do? Should she show them more? The thought began to drive her crazy. What could she do to be seen by them? Go sunbathing? Take the dog out in her robe? Change in front of the upstairs window? But she wanted to be closer to them. She wanted that feeling of danger she had gotten when the younger guy had been inside her house. He could have done anything to her. Was she going crazy? If so she liked it. Maybe bring them lemonade? Was that clichΓ©? It was a breezy spring day so lemonade might seem out of place. Did she care? Was she already beyond normal? If the older guy had seen her he surely told his friend.
There had to be a way to get them inside again. Just then as if to answer her thoughts they started heading toward the house. "What were they doing? What are they going to do to me?" She thought. "Don't be silly they probably have a very good reason to talk to me." she reassured herself.
For a second, she thought of letting up her dog Salty who was barking from the other side of the basement door. However, he would just be too much of a hassle. She slid over to the door and opened it.
"Time for us to come inside, ma'am." the older man said.
She just stood there startled for a second trying to interpret his statement.
"We have several measurements to take from inside the house too, for the addition." the man clarified.
"Oh, yes of course. Come on in." she managed to get out.
She stood out of the way next to the door as the men pushed past her. She couldn't believe the size of the younger guy's arms. They both went right to the corner of the room, mostly ignoring her and began to figure out what measurements they needed. The younger man had grabbed the end of the tape, holding it up while balancing a clipboard on the wall. The other man rolled the tape across the room.
She went over and sat on the stairs. Her heart racing, she new this was her only opportunity and she should seize it. She initially sat with her legs on a lower step crossed demurely at the ankles. Then she pulled them up to a closer step and rested her arms and head on her knees. If they looked right now they would get a good look at her thong underwear.
However they weren't looking. They were busy doing there job. Just like her boyfriend. She then pulled her feet up on the same stair as she was sitting and leaned back against the wall, letting her robe fall back on her waist and exposing all the way to the top of her hip. She tried her best to look bored and uninterested. They still weren't looking. Finally, unable to control her frustration, she said "Is everything looking all right?"
As the words left her mouth she realized how stupid and lame that sounded coming out of her mouth. How could measurements be "not looking all right", she thought. My god what an idiot I am. The men both turned looking a little confused.
"Just fine ma'am." the older man said and turned back around. The younger man however looked her over entirely, smiled and turned back around. Then a second later turned back for a second to get another look. He smiled again.
So she had gotten his attention. She smiled back at the young man. She loosened her robe a little to let him see a little cleavage on his third turn around.
"Jack" the older man shouted at the younger man. Both she and the younger man were snapped out of their collective trance. Startled she pulled the robe tight again.
"Manny, you don't have to shout I'm right here." Jack said to his partner.
