I could wax elegantly about how I met her but that's not what you want to read. You want to read what happened after I saw her with her friends at a block party. Her name is Melanie Rogers and she is about 5'9, a tall skinny blonde with a nice C cup rack. The rest of the girls in the group were paired off with a guy so I knew I could approach her without infuriating some young punk. She was dressed in a white halter-top and denim blue cutoff jean shorts and the sexiest pair of sandal high heels. The heels accentuated her long, firm legs and caused her butt to jut out just right. Her hair was done up in a ponytail that held her wonderful below the shoulder mane in place.
Now I'm 38 and divorced and knew I had to look like a big perv approaching an 18 year old but I had an 'In.' I overheard her saying she needed a job to get a car for when she went off to college. I'm not exactly a neat freak but I thought I could get her to come over to do some light housekeeping.
Nothing happened that night or for over a week. She took my business card and said she'd stop by if she were interested. She looked me over and I think I might have passed her perv test but I couldn't be sure. I went home feeling pretty confident I would have some wonderful eye candy spicing up my life and cleaning up my house.
A week passed and Melanie showed up on the following Saturday morning. I let her in and showed her around my place. She wore a pair of denim overalls with a pink top and white tennis shoes. Her hair was in pigtails with pink ribbons and she was wearing pink gloss lipstick. She said she thought I had a great place and apologized for not coming over earlier. She said she was enjoying her summer vacation and wanted sometime to hang out with friends.
We talked about what she knew how to do and she was perplexed. She frowned and said she hadn't really done much work before and that her mom and dad never really gave her any chores. I decided to start her off easy doing the dishes and after twenty minutes went in to look at what she had done and found her playing with the bubbles. I had her read up my study but had to stop her when I found her throwing out all my important papers. She was trying hard but we were having a difficult time finding something for her to do. I really wanted things to work out as I enjoyed having her around and watching her tight young body as she moved.
I had her go out back and weed my flower beds and that didn't work out very well either as she didn't like getting her hands dirty and didn't have the strength to tear out the weeds. I was sort of perturbed because she didn't seem know how to do anything and I wasn't getting anything done. I did enjoy the eyeful I was getting as I mowed my lawn and watched her bending over towards me and away from me. She would catch me now and then and smile shyly as she knew she wasn't cut out for the work she was trying to do.
About my third pass with the lawn mower I noticed Melanie kneeling with her hands covering her face and stopped. The mower chugged to a stop as I let off the gas and I moved slowly over to her. She didn't move from her spot on the ground so I walked up to her and kneeled beside her and put my hand on her shoulder. She felt my hand and looked up. Her face looked flush and she frowned.
"What's wrong?" I asked as I searched her face for any indication.
"I suck at this," she said bluntly with a frown and I think she thought she'd never make the money for a car.
"Relax, let's go inside and have something cool to drink and you can catch your breath," I said, taking charge. She was right but I didn't want her quitting on me.
She shook her head in agreement with my idea and walking beside me she acted like it was a relief to get up and take a deep breath. As we walked, I put my hand on her shoulder and tried to comfort her. She was wearing cologne and it filled my nose. I didn't know the scent but liked it. I could feel the warmth from her body and although she was tall and skinny, she appeared small to me and fragile. I opened the door to the back of the house as we reached it and let her in.
I had only a couple of cool options to drink and fewer for her since I couldn't offer her a beer or glass of wine. I led her to the kitchen which was nice and cool because of the tile floors and because it was near the back of the house and didn't get any direct daily sun. Melanie leaned against the kitchen cabinets as I went to the refrigerator. She didn't speak and I was feeling guilty for checking her out when she seemed to be upset.
I handed her a cold glass of lemonade after I poured it and she took it. Her hands were shaking a little but she took a big gulp of the liquid and let out a sigh. I grabbed a cold beer from the refrigerator and popped off the top. It tasted great and I realized that I had worked up quite a sweat in the afternoon sun.
Melanie blushed now and she spoke, "I'm sorry, I don't know what came over me out there." She looked at me and nervously looked away. "I didn't tell you but I broke up with my boyfriend this week and I guess I'm not over it," she revealed. She looked at me and sipped some more of the yellow liquid.
"I'm sorry to hear that," I told her. Melanie was striking as sweat glistened on her forehead, cheeks, and arms. "It's hot today and you needed a break anyway," I added, trying to keep the mood light.
"I thought if I came over and worked for you, I could forget him but I keep thinking of him," she said and wiped her left forearm across her forehead, wiping away sweat but leaving a light brown smear. Her forearm had got dirt on it from pulling weeds and now she had transferred it to her head.
"It'll take time," I told her and added that even though I got divorced for all the right reasons, I still thought about my ex.
"Really?" she said.
"Yeah, from time to time and especially when I'm lonely," I stated.
"Aw," Melanie said and looked hard at me. She was sympathetic and frowned.
I shrugged my shoulders. I didn't think about my ex that much really especially not with Melanie in my kitchen. I smiled and asked her, "Why'd you break up?" I thought I that might be too forward and added, "If you don't mind me asking?."
"Oh no," she said and I could tell she wanted to talk about it. "He wanted to see other girls," she said with a frown.
"What? He must be fucking nuts!" I said and laughing, amended my speech, "He must be crazy!"
