I have lived in my house for 30 years. I was a widower in my early fifties. My wife having passed away, after a long battle with cancer almost 5 years earlier. It was an older neighborhood, with mostly older residents. I am one of the youngest ones there, until recently.
My neighbors had recently been moved to a retirement village by their children. They emptied the house and put it up for sale. It was snapped up by a younger family. I say younger, the wife looked to be probably late thirties with the husband not much older.
I had met them a few times as they were moving in. Tim and Jan Collier, they seemed very nice. They had a daughter, Jessica, that was 18 and a senior in high school. She hadn't moved with them at first. She stayed behind with relatives to graduate at with all her friends.
Jessica arrived after graduation, around the second week of June. She was a beautiful young lady. Around five foot four, maybe 120 pounds. Her shoulder length strawberry blonde hair was pulled back into pony tail, with the sides pulled free to frame her high cheek bones and dimples. Light tan freckles dotted her face. She wore a white halter top that hugged her tight and showed of her tanned belly above her cut off jean shorts. Her breasts were just small bumps on her chest. If it wasn't for the hard nipples, they would be hard to pin point. She had the muscular legs of a volleyball player and a plump rear that beckoned a long glance. I felt lucky as i watched her walking across the front yard to their front door.
Being the gracious neighbor, I invited my new neighbors for a cookout to welcome them to the neighborhood. A few of the neighbors would be there. It would be a great opportunity to meet the neighbors. They eagerly accepted.
It was set for Saturday afternoon. The three of them arrived promptly at one, as we had decided. Jan introduced me to Jessica. It was going to be an older crowd, the Colliers being the youngest. Jessica would be out of her element in the crowd of older people for sure. She was looking bored already, until I led them through the house to the back yard to introduce then to everyone. When she saw the pool, her eyes lit up.
As all the neighbors gathered together to get to know each other, the youngest of the group was sitting on the deck sulking because Jan had told her that she wasn't going swimming. According to mommy, today wasn't a day to frolic in the pool.
I was feeling bad for Jessica's predicament as I watched her sitting alone on the deck. I needed a drink so I went to the bar and grabbed a fresh beer. As I was returning to the group around the grill, I stopped by Jessica where she was sitting listening to music. I plopped down and leaned against the wall. I asked what she was listening to, trying to make small talk. "Nobody you would know" she answered. I told her that she was welcome to use the pool anytime she wanted to, as long as her mom was okay with it. That brought out a smile. I apologized for the average age of the people at the party. I told her that she could go in the house and use the media room to watch a movie or listen to music, to which she agreed sounded like fun.
She jumped up and and headed over to tell her mom where she was going. I headed to the door and waited for her to head in. I held the door for her as she came across the deck and into the house. I led the way down the hall to the media room. I ran her through how to use the equipment, and left her to it. I returned to the festivities and preceded to have a few drinks.
The next afternoon, as I was cleaning up after the cookout, I heard the door bell chime. I walked through the house to the front door. To my surprise, Jessica is standing on my front step with a beach bag slung over her shoulder. "Why hello young neighbor" I call as I open the door. "How can i help you?" I ask, knowing full well what she wanted.
"You offered for me to use your pool. I was wondering if the offer is still good?" she asked.
"Of course young lady, you can use it whenever want." I told her.
"Is now a good time"? she asked.
"Absolutely." was my reply as I held the door open for her and slid aside to allow her in. "Do your parents know that you are here?" I inquired.
"Yup, mom made me wait until now to make sure you would be up before I came over. You guys were still going strong when I left to go home, so you must've have a late night." she laughed.
"We did, thank you." We walked through the house to the deck. I pointed out the changing room with a shower and the fresh towels all stocked up. I showed her how to use the deck radio and she found something she liked. "Make yourself to home." I said as I headed towards the house. "I'll be cleaning up inside, if you need anything, just holler." I offered.
I quickly walked to the kitchen to try to catch a glimpse of her in her swim suit. She had walked to a lounge chair beside the pool. She set her bag down, opened it up and pulled out her towel. She tossed the towel on the chair and slipped off the flip flops that she had been wearing. To my surprise, she undid the button and zipper on her shorts and pulled them off, bending at the waist as she did. I let out a quiet groan as she exposed her tanned plump bottom to me. she took a moment to step out of them as she was bent over. Giving me ample time to burn that image into my mind forever.
