Daniel was sitting at his window in his spare room whiling away the time watching the neighbours going about their business. He still recognised most of them but there were also quite a few new faces. He didn't usually have the time to sit and people watch but he had just returned from the States where he had been working for 2 years before he moved on again, this time to Paris, in 2 months.
This was a long enough break for him to sort out a few house maintenance issues as his last tenants had left his house and garden in a bit of a state. He had already arranged new tenants for the year he would be away so just needed to make the place nice again - a coat of paint here and there, updating the security system, and lots of gardening, that sort of thing.
He should probably update some of the furniture as well while he was here as some items were beginning to show signs of wear and tear. Much like him really although he had kept himself in pretty good shape he was now almost completely grey and he was beginning to feel the effects of his more vigorous workouts. but he had lost any extra weight he had put on during his first year in Chicago and had a sensible routine to keep himself trim.
He opened his 'phone to check his socials, although he was pleased to be back home he was not so keen on catching up with old acquaintances. He had a few good friends but they were all married or settled so time with them needed to be planned and booked in advance so he did feel at a bit of a loose end. His experiences in the US had put him off online dating so had reconciled himself to a dry spell while in the UK.
He started idly looking through car hire as his new motor would be waiting for him in France and soon found an X5 at a reasonable rate so made a quick online reservation and scheduled an Uber to take him to the car hire place later that afternoon. He was thinking he might as well see some of the country while he was here.
It was still early and the schoolchildren and their parents were starting to arrive to start the school day at the primary school at the end of his road. He watched small groups of children chattering excitedly together, there were younger children with their parents, a few on bikes and lots on those mini scooters. He watched disinterestedly although he did enjoy the energy the children bought to the street.
Soon the children disappeared and he found himself watching the young mothers, and more fathers that he had expected, heading away from dropping off their charges. He noticed a young indian woman dressed only in yoga pants, a tight vest top and sneakers and he fancied that he could see her hard nipples through the close fitting material,
He watched intently, mesmerised by a brief flash of brown skin from her bare midriff. He could tell that she looked after herself from her tight body and he allowed himself to briefly imagine the rest of her as he felt himself harden under his boxers. He watched her cute ass as she disappeared up the road and went back to watching the others.
One or two were cute but none had quite the same effect on him. He slipped his hand under the waistband of his boxers and felt his semi-hard cock giving himself a few tugs for good measure. He would need a cold shower he thought to himself before heading downstairs to make himself some breakfast.
He got home from the car rental just before 3 and parked on the street outside his house as the driveway had a large skip blocking access to his garage. He started unloading some bags of shopping as he found himself amongst children and parents at the end of the school day. He recognised the young indian woman immediately, she was holding hands with a small child, probably only 5 or 6 and had suddenly appeared on the pavement as he closed the boot of his car.
He smiled as they passed and he was sure that she smiled back although probably only out of politeness. He watched her walk away until she was about 20 or 30 yards away when she stopped and bent down and said something to her child. As she did so she looked back and he caught her eye. He smiled again and she looked away hurriedly before she headed off and he went indoors.
The next morning he made sure he was in the front garden between 8 and 9 as the children and their parents arrived. He was doing some light gardening, trimming the side hedge and pulling up weeds from what used to be flower beds. He soon noticed her on the other side of the road hurrying along to the school and allowed himself some fanciful thoughts of taking her to dinner, ignoring any possibility that there might well be a child's father somewhere around.
He imagined himself flirting with her, playing the older mature gentleman, a successful businessman, as she told him of the tragic events of how she had been widowed so young and he comforting her, holding her hands in his as she melted into his eyes. But she was soon out of sight so he went back to his gardening totting up what he might need from the garden centre.
Ten minutes later she was back, this time on his side of the road and looking towards him. He smiled again as she approached.
"You look busy' she said as she passed giving him a little smile.
'Yes, it's a lot of work' was all he managed before she was past him and away. He watched her walk away, his heart beating faster as he started to read all sorts of things into what was in fact a simple passing of the time of the day between two strangers.
He made a point of getting back from the garden centre at exactly 3pm but although the street was full of children and parents he did not see her and for the next few days he repeated this pattern, finding an excuse to be out in his garden at the best times hoping to catch her eye once again.
Three days leter he saw her again, she was returning from the school and was with two other parents, he met her gaze, smiled subtly and watched her pass, she looked down demurely and continued walking, chatting to her friends as she went. He watched her walk away, already ruing the missed opportunity to say something, watching her tight ass nicely filling her leggings. She stopped, said something to her friends who walked on and she turned and started coming back towards him.
'Hi' she said 'Do I know you?'
'No, I don't think so' he replied
'Ah, I wondered if you were one of my students' she replied, looking him up and down 'I'm Bhavna' she introduced herself, reaching out a tiny hand towards him.
