Olivia walked out of Gemstone Marketing's office, with her work belongings in a cardboard box. Having just resigned from her first job, six years after graduating, It was fair to say they didn't take it brilliantly, especially since she had been headhunted by a major rival. They had ended up with an agreement to pay her 8 weeks salary, rather than 4, but she had to delay starting her new job, and hand over the keys to her company Mini, and hand back her phone etc. She would undoubtedly miss the people and the job, but the new role was too good to miss, with a significant pay rise, better car and more responsibility and opportunities.
It was midday, early July, and central Oxford was not a bad place to be, Olivia decided to call in a local bar with outside seating, ordered a large G&T, and called her new employers to confirm that she had resigned and that she would be unable to start for 8 weeks. Julia, her new boss, was totally relaxed, and said to enjoy the extended holiday and said they looked forward to her starting on September 1st.
As she sipped her G&T, Olivia started to make plans. She was due to go to Greece with two girlfriends towards the end of the month, but had two weeks to kill in between. She mulled over the thought of staying in Oxford, she could have some fun with her friends, and Martin, a married guy she had a bit of a thing with would undoubtedly be thrilled at the thought of having her free in the daytime for some illicit pleasure. Her other option was to to head up to stay with her mother and stepfather at their beautiful home in the Warwickshire countryside. This would provide a very low cost couple of weeks, and she could use her mothers car, and enjoy sunbathing in their large secluded garden. Her mother regularly reminded her that she didn't visit as often as she'd like, so would surely be thrilled.
Olivia's parents split when her and her sister were under 5 years of age. Her Mother Jan, was very attractive, worked as a secretary and PA, and had no shortage of male admirers and company as the girls grew up. Olivia recalled several visitors, who they only saw if they came down from bed, and on many occasions, had buried her head under the pillow to muffle the sounds of her mother enthusiastically enjoying sex with one of her lovers. Olivia had grown to enjoy a similarly relaxed attitude to sex, and whilst avoiding being labelled a slut, had enjoyed experimenting with boys and with her own body. She recalled Jan asking her if she was having sex while she was in 6th form, and when she openly told her mother she was playing around, if not actually going all the way, Jan made an appointment at the GP and Olivia went on the pill.
"You start playing around with lads, and before you know it, they'll have their cock inside you, and I'm far too young and busy to be a grandmother!"
Olivia blushed, but also quietly loved the fact that her mum was not some fuddy duddy authoritarian type.
Unbeknown to Olivia, aside from a couple of Jan's male friends who she suspected were more "friends with benefits", just after she started Uni, news broke that Jan had been having a long term affair with her older, and very wealthy boss Brian! In the year that followed, his wife moved out, he handed the company to his son, and Jan moved into his beautiful home, upgrading from PA and mistress to "partner". Brian had involvement in two other businesses, and he spent a couple of days a week working, while Jan enjoyed the trappings of his lifestyle.
A couple of weeks of R&R at their house would be ideal, and she could get a head start on the tan before heading to Greece!
"Hi Mum, it's me... I have resigned, was a bit heated, but I am on garden leave until Sept so I thought I would come and spend some quality time with you and Bri before Greece - I could get the train tomorrow morning if you could meet me at Stratford - bastards insisted on having the Mini back immediately?"
Jan was delighted to hear that her eldest daughter had found time to visit, but went on to say that her and Brian had booked a last minute week long holiday with friends from Wednesday - this was Monday.
Oliva replied "Well I can still come tomorrow, and I can look after Monty (their dog) and relax and sunbathe in peace, then see you when you get back?"
"Ok darling, if you're sure, let me know what time your train gets in, I'll go to Waitrose to get some food for you, and tell the neighbours that you will be able to look after Monty - you can use my car, I'll get Brian to fill it with petrol later!"
Olivia smiled to herself, Brian was a lovely guy, and generous, her Mother wanted for nothing and being her girls, meant that they were well looked after too.
Olivia caught the 10am train, and sat listening to music, looking forward to the amazing weather forecast for the next few weeks. The private garden and detached house meant she could go topless, and the pool would be available too.
The pool chap generally called early in the morning to do whatever they did, and she would then have peace.
The train soon pulled in to Stratford station and Olivia spotted her mother's Range Rover Evoque. Jan gave her a big hug and helped her with her case, and they set off on the 15 minute drive home. Jan and Brian were heading off early the following morning, and Brian remembered that he had arranged for James, a lad from the nearest village to come and paint the garden fences and outbuildings, and mow the lawns as he did most weeks over recent summers. Jan looked at him and rolled her eyes.
"Can't you put him off while Liv's here, the last thing she wants is him faffing around when she's trying to sunbathe and relax!"
Brian replied - "I'd arranged for him to come while we were away, and I can't mess the poor lad around, he's very reliable and needs the money to go to Uni."
Olivia giggled "So tell me all about James, is he hot!?"
Jan replied "He is very sweet, a bit geeky, going to do chemistry at Uni, and rather shy - just ask him to let you know when he's planning to come over, and you can work around him I guess."
The following morning, Olivia got up to see them off, fed Monty, then headed back to bed for a while. Wearing only a skimpy nightie, she soon ended up having text and then phone sex with Martin, her married "friend" who lamented that if she'd stayed in Oxford she could have the real thing most days.... After enjoying a satisfactory orgasm, Olivia showered and put on a skimpy red bikini and gown. She had an orange juice and some toast, and after putting a couple of posts on social media re her new found leisure time, she headed out to the lawn with a towel.
As she walked around the corner she saw a bike, and then a lean and lanky young man with glasses, in a pair of shorts and a T shirt, painting the garden shed. Olivia walked over, and startled him as she spoke!
Hi - you must be James, I'm Olivia, Jan's daughter."
James turned and replied, "Hi, sorry, Yes, I'm James, I didn't realise there would be anyone here" Nervously stammering at the sight of Olivia's supple body in just a bikini by now!
She had mischievously removed her gown at her chosen sunbathing spot and walked over in just her bikini to see his reaction.
Jan's description was right, geeky, but sweet.
"I'll try not to get in your way, but if you like, we could exchange numbers and you could let me know when you're planning to come over, so I can keep out of your way?"
James recited his number, and Olivia saved it in her phone and sent him a message, causing his phone to ping in his pocket.
Olivia then told him to let her know if he needed anything and to make sure he didn't get too hot., before heading back to her towel. She smiled to herself, James reminded her of a lad she used to tease in 6th form, revealing a bit of leg or a glimpse of her lacy white bra, knowing he would blush like a beetroot.
Having enjoyed the sunshine for a couple of hours, Olivia felt hungry, and thought she ought to offer James a drink and a sandwich if he wanted one. She was also feeling mischievous, and as she walked over in her bikini, she knew that he didn't know where to look! Olivia then suggested he came round to the shadier patio to eat his packed lunch, and she would make him a cold drink.
James sat quietly eating as Olivia asked him about 6th form, she had been to the same school and 6th form, and about Uni, and what else he liked getting up to when he wasn't mowing lawns and painting sheds. He said he had to leave at 2.30pm but would be back the following morning when it was cooler, but that he would text her to let her know when.
Olivia thanked him and smiled, wishing him a nice evening, and suggested he needn't bring a packed lunch since her mother had bought enough food for an army before going away.
James muttered "Thank you, that's very kind" before heading back to his chores.
The following day, Olivia got up, took Monty for a walk into the village, saw a few people she knew, got a copy of Cosmo from the shop and arrived back to find James busy painting. Wearing a denim mini skirt and vest top, she decided to take James a cold drink. Olivia's mischievous side kicked in again and she took off her bra, slipping it over her elbows, leaving her strappy top on, showing the outline of her breasts and nipples.
As she handed James his drink, he clearly noticed her breasts and was trying hard to not stare, thanking her for the drink, multiple times.
"Come round to the patio for 1-ish and I'll get you a sandwich and drink... I'm going to sunbathe for an hour - I want to perfect my all over tan before my holiday"
Olivia walked away smiling to herself, wondering what was going through James' mind.
