Although Chapter 2 can be read alone, to get a full understanding of the situation and the characters, it is best to read Chapter 1 first. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this second installment in the lives of Rose and Colin. Please vote and send me your feedback. I love to read what you thought about my stories. Your thoughts and ideas are very welcome!

I spent the next week with my family. Having just come home from college I had to put up with my mother’s coddling and my dad’s “let’s go get some coffee together son” with his arm around my shoulder. After the first week things started to settle back to their old routine everyone wasn’t demanding my attention every spare moment. I checked several times but never caught the girl across the fence doing anything in any way erotic. When I did see her, she was either fully dressed or wore a long t-shirt that left only her calves bare (she changed out of sight of the window). She gave no indication of knowing I was there, and I began to doubt my conclusions. Maybe I had imagined the wink. Maybe she had just had something in her eye. It got to the point where the uncertainty was driving me crazy.
One morning about a week or so after that first experience, I came down to breakfast and plopped down into a chair at the kitchen table. Just as quickly the smell of fresh coffee lured me to the counter for a cup before heading back to my chair. My mom was at the sink rinsing out some dishes. She glanced over at me with amusement.
“You look like yesterday’s leftovers,” she teased, “and that casserole we had wasn’t pretty to begin with.”
I was tired, but I couldn’t help but smile at her bantering tone. My mother could always do that to me. It was one of the reasons I loved her so much. I took a long sip of coffee, felt the hot liquid slip down my throat, heating my chest first and then my entire belly. Then I imagined the caffeine shooting off into my blood stream like miniature bottle rockets. The essential stimulant was on the way to my brain and I wished it a swift journey. I took another sip. Then I put down my cup and considered my mother. She was actually a very attractive woman. Normally it wasn’t something I thought about, but maybe the frustration over the last few days had pumped up my testosterone levels, or I was just spacey for want of caffeine. In any case, I suddenly felt proud of my mother. She was about 5’8” with long brown hair all the way to a very shapely ass.
“So Colin,” my mother said, whipping around, “have you met our new neighbors? The old lady, Mrs. Cathaway, died and her husband sold the house and moved into one of the assisted living condos over in Oxford. It was very sad really.”
She had turned so quickly, and with my reflexes still sluggish, I hadn’t had time to shift my gaze away from her ass. My own mother’s ass! I was turning into a true horny toad. Hopefully, she just thought I’d been staring out into space, too tired to completely register anything. She gave no indication that she guessed what I’d been thinking. If anything, she seemed amused. But that was just my mother. She always looked as though she was about to laugh. Everything about life had a funny side, she believed. And maybe she was right; she’d gotten me laughing often enough.
“I… no,” I said, feeling heat in my face.
My mother cocked her head. “And whatever are you blushing at?” she said.
“Nothing,” I said. “I was just thinking about something.”
“Well, have you or haven’t you?”
I grimaced. My mother was putting me in a position where I would have to tell her a blatant lie. I had never been able to lie to my mom. Maybe it was because she trusted me, and that trust was so terribly obvious. How could I betray that? Trying to keep an absolutely straight face, I said, “I have never met them in person.”
My mother shook a finger at me. “Ah-hah! You’re holding something back. I know it!”
I blushed even deeper. Oh god, if there was ever a time to lie to my mother, this was it! But I couldn’t. “It’s nothing,” I said again, “I just saw the girl. Her room is right across from my window,” I finished lamely.
My mother chuckled. “And by the color of your face, I can just guess what you saw from your window. So that’s why you’ve been spending so much time in your room!”
I gulped my coffee. But before I could think of something to say, she patted my shoulder gently. “Don’t worry. I won’t pry. But I will say she’s a beautiful girl. Quite talented too. She was the lead in the high school play this year.” My mother re-filled my cup thoughtfully. Plopping the carton of cream beside me as she said, “She’s caused quite a sensation at the high school – for all that she has just moved here in her senior year.”
I nodded. She certainly had caused quite a sensation. Though the sensation I was thinking of was likely not the same as what my mother had in mind.
“I’ve got an idea,” my mother suddenly said brightly. She turned and picked up a fairly large metal pan off the countertop. “Here.” She set it on the table beside me. “I borrowed that pan from Lili – Lili and Bob – those are our neighbors. And their daughter Rose, who you seem to have already met – well, maybe not quite ‘met’ in the truest sense of the word. Why don’t you rectify that by taking that pan back to our new neighbors and properly introduce yourself?”
“Okay,” I said, without even thinking about it much. But then I nodded. This was perfect. Hadn’t it been driving me crazy all week to know what really happened that afternoon? This was the perfect excuse. “Okay,” I said again, “I’ll take it over.”
“Great,” Mom said. Then she wrinkled her nose. “Right after you jump in the shower.”

In the shower my cock retained its semi-erect state at the thought of meeting her – Rose, I now knew – in person. I pictured again those perfect breasts and thick nipples. God, washing my groin area was like an invitation to masturbate. But I restrained myself and shut the water off. I toweled off quickly and headed out the bathroom door and into the hallway. My bedroom was just a few steps down the hall, and in my hurry I didn’t bother to wrap the towel around myself as I normally would. As I passed my parents bedroom I glanced in just as my mother looked up from where she was folding laundry on the bed. It was only a split second, but just as she passed out of sight, I saw her glance flicker down to where my genitals were exposed. It was so quick, so innocent, that I didn’t have time to think anything. But a shiver of electricity shot up my spine and then settled as a warmth in my groin. My semi-erect member strengthened. I had to admit the sudden voyeuristic act had turned me on.
