I turned eighteen in June, just before graduating from high school. I missed being valedictorian, which pissed me off, but being second in the class wasn't too bad. I had been accepted at State University and had little to worry about until Fall. I wanted a summer job, and finally found one at Swanson's groceries. This was an upscale store that held its own against our supermarket by having a good line of gourmet articles and very good service, which is where I came in. Many of its customers wanted their orders delivered. Their one van was busy a good part of the day, sometimes with bulky items, and they needed a means of quick delivery to people who needed something small at the last minute. I told them that I could do that very well on my bicycle, and after giving me a couple trial runs, they hired me.
The Flower Apartments constituted a large, two story building less than a mile from Swanson's, and accounted for a good share of my work. It held about forty good-sized apartments, each with a balcony overlooking the big beds of flowers that made its name apropriate, and embraced a tennis court and a large swimming pool. After my first visit I made it a point always to use the entrance at the end of the pool where I could glance at the bikini-clad women lounging in the sun on long chairs. I wished I could inspect them much more closely.
One day, late in the afternoon, I was told to deliver two bottles of wine to a Ms. Carol Matthews at the Flower. On my way to her second-floor apartment I was disappointed at finding no bare skin at the pool, but was rewarded when she opened the door and let me in. She was wearing nothing but a bright yellow bikini. The top seemd kind of tight and did less than half the job of covering a pair of good-sized breasts, and the bottom was definitely skimpy. It went beautifully with her tanned skin and abundant, long yellow hair. She smiled, greeted me, and asked me to step in while she went for her purse. Another woman was seated in the sunny sitting room, similarly clothed but in black that went with her short, black hair. She nodded and smiled at me as I tried to avoid staring. Ms. Matthews returned with a dollar bill she handed me.
"That was fast," she said. "Do you always come that quickly?"
"Whenever I can, miss," I answered, studiously avoiding the urge to look down the space between her breasts as she stood close to me.
"Oh, that's lovely," she said. "what's your name?"
I told her. After looking into my eyes for a long moment she said,
"Well, I'm sure I'll be seeing you again, Paul."
I thanked her warmly, and left.
Ms. Matthews occupied my thoughts as a I rode back to the store. She must be old, I thought, ages older than I, so why was she so fascinating? Why did she seem sexier than any of the high school girls I knew? What would it be like to hold her, to feel those ripe breasts? What could I see under that little bikini bottom? What was she going to do with all that wine? That night her image kept flashing before me as I stroked my prick, wondering what it could be like to have it inside a woman like that, and my prick answered with a gratifying ejaculation.
The next day Ms. Matthews called Swanson's late in the day with a small order -- crackers and cheese and another bottle of wine.
"It's pretty late, Paul," Mr. Swanson said, holding the telephone. "Shall I tell her she'll have to wait to tomorrow?"
"No," I told him. "I can do it on my way home."
When she opened her door to me a few minutes later she was again wearing just a bikini, bright blue this time, a lovely contrast to the long, golden hair nearly covering its well filled top. She asked me to bring my package to the kitchen, saying,
"Oh, maybe it's silly, but I just suddenly felt felt this urge for a snack and didn't have a thing here."
She spread out the contents.
"I'm so glad the store wasn't closed and you could still come," she said. "Do you have to go back now?"
I said I didn't, and she invited me to sit down and share her snack. With a modest sign of reluctance, I did. She asked if I wanted some wine; just a sip, I told her. She poured considerably more than a sip, and we munched quietly for a minute. I had trouble knowing where to look. I wanted to stare at her half naked tits hanging over the table, or even admire her full, red lips, long eyelashes and the long yellow hair that streamed over her shoulders. She didn't seem to have that problem. She gazed at me steadily, inquisitively. I felt I was being examined. And then the questions began. She wanted to know where I was in school, and seemed pleased that I had graduated. She wanted to know about my classes, and approved my choices. She asked about athletics, and said that I looked very fit. Then she asked about the girls in school, and I had more trouble being coherent. Did I go out with them? Yes. Did I have a special girlfriend? No. Was I popular with the girls? I didn't think so, and she expressed surprise at that; she would have thought I was. I was getting uncomfortable. I certainly liked her interest in me, but wondered about my answers: were they the right ones, that is, would they make her even more interested?
She finally stopped, acknowledging that really had asked for a lot of information, and volunteered some about herself. She'd gone to an educational college and taught in a high school for several years after she graduated. Two years ago she met an attractive and and well-off man who wooed her furiously, and they married; he bought the apartment she was living in now. They turned out to be not nearly as compatible as she had hoped. A year later she came home early from a trip and found him in bed with a neighbor. She had a witness with her (Carol, the woman I had seen with her the day before) who just happened to be carrying a camera and managed to get a good shot of her naked husband on top of her naked neighbor. The divorce was sure and quick and left her with this apartment and a comfortable income for the next three years.
All this was bewildering: that she would tell me so freely, almost gaily, this intimate and very adult story. When she finished she said,
"Well, now we know something of each other's lives. I hope I haven't bored you."
"Lord, no," I said, "it's fascinating. But that must have been awful for you."
"Well, yes and no," she said. "I was pretty upset. I'd been a very good girl since the day we married -- in spite of quite a few opportunities and, I might say, some strong temptations. But when that happened, it changed my views about sex. You shouldn't just hold it all in and devote yourself to one person, if that's not your nature. There are a lot of people out there, and some of them are very, very nice."
She put her hand on my bare arm. "That's enough philosophy for tonight! I think I better stop now."
I thought so, too. It would take me a while to digest all that. I took my leave, reluctantly, and she seemed sad about my leaving, too.
I was disappointed the next day that Ms. Matthews didn't place an order with us. I had the wild idea of going to see her anyway, but suppressed it. Instead I featured her that night, as I had the night before, in my jackoff fantasy. As always, what I and my imaginary companion actually did together was pretty obscure, but her presence was a great aid to my enjoyment.
She did call the next day, with some tiny order. I left as Mr. Swenson was closing.
"That Ms. Matthews likes to call late, doesn't she?" he said. "What's she like?"
"Oh, very nice," I replied.
"You be careful there, boy," he said. "The Flower is quite a place. I know, I used to deliver there in person. Some of those women...they'll take your balls right off."
"O.K.," I answered, and left.
The bikini for today was black. I thought I like the colored ones better, but this was even smaller than they had been, and as I followed her into the kitchen the top of her ass crack was clearly visible above the oscillating cheeks. After unloading the small bag I had brought she invited me to sit down in one of the overstuffed easy chairs in the living room and she took another. She picked up a magazine beside her.
"Paul," she said, "I like to keep up with what's going on in the schools today, and there's a very interesting article in here. It's a survey of high school students, about their personal lives ... well, in fact, about their sex lives. It's really quite fascinating. Do you mind if I read you some of it?"
"No," I answered, trying not to sound as excited as I was feeling.
"For example," she said, "it says that all but fifteen percent of the students have had some sexual experience before entering high school, usually just by themselves. Seventy percent of the girls have masturbated, and ninety-eight percent of the boys! Does that sound right to you?"
"Well," I answered slowly, "I don't know about the girls, but as for the boys, I'm not surprised."
"Oh, my," she said, I wonder how they get them to talk so freely. Here...let's do this. I'm an interviewer, and you're a high school student. I'm going to ask you questions about your sex experiences, and you're going to answer, freely and frankly. And don't be embarassed, it's all in the interest of science. O.K.?"
What could I say but "O.K."? And I did, vividly aware of the hardon that was growing in my pants.
"All right, here's the question about masturbation. Do you masturbate, Paul?"
"Yes, I do, ma'am," I replied.
"Mm", she uttered. "'Ma'am's all right for this scientific interview, but I want you to call me Carol the rest of the time, right? Now here's the next question, When did you begin masturbating?"
"A long time ago," I answered, "before I was eleven."
