James woke up this morning excited. If his intuition was right, he would be closing a real estate deal today. The house across the street from him, in his sub-division, was up for sale and the client he recently acquired was interested in seeing the house. He had scheduled an appointment for 10:00am to show the house. The house fit everything his clients were looking for. It had four bedrooms, two baths, two stories and was built just six years ago.
James showered, then put on his white dress shirt, black slacks and a red power tie. He spritzed his shirt with his favorite cologne and straightened his tie before walking to the house across the street. He typed the code into the key box and pulled the key out from inside the box. He closed the box and unlocked the front door, making his way inside. It was a few minutes before ten. He lit a candle and waited for his clients to arrive.
An SUV pulled into the driveway. He heard three doors close. He was surprised by the sound of three doors. He was only expecting Mr. and Mrs. Samuel to be checking out the property. James walked to the front door and opened it, noticing that a young girl, whom he assumed was their daughter, tagged along, following behind Mr. and Mrs. Samuel. James welcomed them and shook their hands as they entered the house. James, shook the daughter's hand last and smiled before introducing himself.
"Hello. My name is James. Who might you be? David and Beth's daughter I am assuming."
The teenager looked up at David and smiled warmly. "I am Melanie and yes I am their daughter. It is a pleasure to meet you as well David.
Her voice was soft and sweet. David enjoyed her smile. He felt her green eyes seemed to linger a little longer than usual on him as she held onto his hand. He placed his left hand on the small of her back and ushered her into the house. When he started to pull away, he felt her hold on to his hand a split second longer before finally letting go. He looked at her face and caught her winking at him as she walked past him to join her parents. He found her flirtatious wink a bit unusual, but pleasant at the same time.
James took his time walking his clients from room to room, painting them a picture of how the home would be perfect for them. He assured them it was in a great, safe and quiet neighborhood. When he finished giving them a tour of the downstairs, he escorted them upstairs to show them the bedrooms and second bath. James showed them the bedroom that faced the street first.
Melanie immediately said, "This will be my bedroom." She looked at James and asked, "Do you think this room would be great for me, James?"
Her voice was soft and sweet with a hint of playfulness. James did his best to stay professional, despite becoming infatuated with his client's daughter. He realized he had not immediately answered her and quickly retorted, "Absolutely. This bedroom has a large walk-in closet for your clothes and two large windows that face the street to keep your room well lit while you study."
Melanie smiled brightly and turned her head slightly to the side. "I only have a month of school left, then I am graduating." "Well, congratulations." James answered, surprised she was old enough to be graduating from high school already. Teenagers' age was so hard to guess nowadays and he didn't even attempt to guess anymore. He was at least twice her age and it seemed like it was just a few years ago that he was a teenager himself.
James showed his clients the two other spare bedrooms and saved the master bedroom at the back of the house for last. Mr. and Mrs. Samuel were pleasantly surprised by the size of the master bedroom and adjoining master bath. A few minutes later, James left his clients to walk through the house and discuss between themselves what they thought. He exited the front door and waited in the driveway.
A few moments later Melanie joined him on the front driveway. "My parents are trying to decide whether they want the house or not.", she said to James as she approached him. She continued with a soft voice and sly smile, "I can convince them to buy the house though. You would like that wouldn't you?"
James wasn't sure exactly what she was asking. He knew the face value of her question, but he wasn't sure if there was more that she was implying with the question. He decided to answer the question professionally. "I want to find the house that best suits you and your parents' needs."
Melanie stood close to James, leaving just a few inches between them. "Would you like me to be your neighbor?" She paused a moment, then winked at him again.
James could feel his pants starting to stir. He knew for sure what she was implying with that question. He was quite sure she was interested in him and he was intrigued to learn more about her. "I think you and your parents would make great neighbors if you all decide this is the house for you."
Melanie wrapped her arms around James' right arm and looked up at him with puppy dog eyes. Her green eyes sparkled in the sunlight. Her look reminded him of a middle school kid in love. A slight smile formed on his face as he looked down at her. He could tell there was more she wanted to say.
Melanie could hear her parents' voices coming closer. She quickly whispered, "I will convince them to buy the house from you if you will be my tutor. I want to do what you do. What do you say?"
James wasn't sure exactly what she wanted him to tutor him in. He could again tell by face value that she wanted him to explain how his job worked, but he was not sure that was all she wanted from him. He thought about it a few seconds. He had a pretty full schedule with multiple clients, but he decided he could probably fit some free time in to be her tutor.
He replied, "Sure" just as her parents exited the front door. Melanie quickly pulled away from James and approached her parents. She walked over to her father and wrapped her arms around his left arm the same way she had just done to James. She turned and looked at James while seductively licking her lips.
Mrs. Samuel spoke first. "Thank you for showing us the house James. We want to discuss it a little further and see what our son thinks also. Do you mind if we have a day to talk it over?"
"Not at all. If you decide this is the house that is best for you and your family, I will sit down and help you guys fill out the necessary paperwork. If it is not, I will find the perfect home for your family."
Melanie spoke up, "Daddy. I think this is the perfect home for us. I absolutely love it. It has a fenced in back yard for privacy, a big kitchen for mom, and large rooms for all of us. We have not found a house in this price range that is anywhere close to being as good as this. Say yes, daddy. Say yes, mommy." Melanie looked at her dad with the same puppy dog eyes James had seen earlier.
"We will be right back.", Mr. Samuel said as he ushered his family back into the house.
James knew Melanie was certainly a sly vixen. She had a way of getting what she wanted. He knew she would be good in his business. Her cute, thin body, long tan legs, pretty face, full lips and sparkling green eyes would be a great asset for her in the sales business. James waited nervously, pacing back and forth in the driveway. He was certain this was going to be an easy deal.
After what seemed like an eternity, his clients joined him on the driveway. Melanie had the largest shit eating grin on her face he had ever seen and she was looking his up and down. James reluctantly pulled his eyes away from her and looked into the eyes of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel. He had learned long ago never to speak first. The first person to speak loses.
After a few moments, Mr. Samuel, who seemed to be the representative speaker for the family, spoke up. "We have thought about this a little more and talked it over. We are going to go put a bid in for the house."
James was excited and shocked at the same time. "Great. Let's go to my office and fill out the paperwork. I am sure this will be a great home for your family."
A few hours later, James was at home enjoying a beer and watching Saturday College Football on the television. He had a smile on his face that would not go away. He was certain the bank would accept the qualifying bid. The house had been in foreclosure proceedings for three years and the bank was anxious to get the house off their books. The Samuels had bid exactly what the bank was asking for the property. It was a great deal for everyone involved. Besides the deal, James was excited to get to know Melanie Samuel even better.
A few weeks later, the paperwork was completed and the contract was signed by the Samuel family. James was outside trimming bushes in his front yard Saturday morning when a moving truck pulled up to the house across the street. James put his clippers on the ground and removed his gardening gloves. He watched Mrs. Samuel hop out of the passenger side of the van, followed by Melanie. James' eyes practically popped out of his eyes. Melanie was wearing a skin tight t-shirt that hugged her body, a pair of zebra stretch pants that hugged her every curve and a black pair of Ugg boots. She looked over at him the moment her feet hit the concrete driveway. James waved to the family and quickly looked away, trying not to stare at Melanie. He said hello to his new neighbors and quickly made his way into the garage.
