At 8:00 on Tuesday, I pulled my mini-cooper into the driveway of the Gould's sprawling and airy home, as I had done every Tuesday for the past six months. It was a gorgeous day, perfect for catching the last of the evening sun on the back deck which sits beside the pool and hot tub.
I have my own key, but when Audrey is home, I always knock. I heard Audrey call "come in!" from inside, so I let myself in. "Hey, I'm here!" I yelled. She swept into the room looking gorgeous, as always, in that quiet way she had -- her beauty spoke for itself, she didn't need make up or big jewelry to look great. In jeans and a white t-shirt, she was more beautiful than any overdone actress on the red carpet. Her dark blond hair pulled into a simple ponytail and that fresh smell which surrounded her always made my heart skip a beat, no matter how many times I saw her. As always, I tried to cover it up.
"Lana, hi! How are you?" She reached in for a peck on the cheek -- again, that heart skip a beat thing -- her hand lingering on my shoulder for a minute, stirring something else besides my heart. "You look great today," her eyes surveying my body.
"I should be back by midnight -- the baby is asleep, she probably won't wake up, but if she does there's a bottle in the fridge. She was really worn out today so I doubt she'll wake up." Audrey checked herself in the mirror again, as if she needed to, and gave me a look that said, "Here we go again." She'd been trying to date for six months now, and it didn't surprise me one bit that she hadn't found a guy worthy of a third date. She had a friends with benefits situation with Tai, a guy she went to yoga with, and she never brought the dates home with her.
"Well, I guess I'll go meet Mr. Wrong one more time. This whole 'dating men' thing is for the birds. See you by midnight." She grabbed her leather jacket off the back of the chair and opened the door to the garage, heading out.
"Oh- the water's really nice," she said, winking at me and closing the door behind her. I heard her car start and the sound of the garage closing as she pulled out.
I grabbed my bag and opened it up, rifling around for my bathing suit. Shit. I had forgotten it. I had never felt comfortable being out on the deck without a suit on, though Audrey did it regularly and had assured me it was okay many times. I really wanted to catch the last of the evening sun, so rather than snoop through Audrey's drawers for a suit, I just headed out back. I found my favorite chair and checked to make sure nobody was around. I unbuttoned my shorts and wiggled out of my t-shirt. My purple lace bra and frilly underwear had been driving me nuts all day -- pretty, but not practical. I was sure nobody was watching, so I ditched them and lay down face up on the comfy lounge chair.
Surprisingly, I felt really comfortable -- sexy, even. I let myself relax, legs slightly spread, arms tossed over my head, and of course the image of Audrey laying naked where I was now laying went through my mind.
There was no use lying to myself about it, I had wanted her ever since the moment I saw her. I'd never been so attracted to a woman before in my life -- I mean, sure, I'd had crushes, but never like this. I thought of her daily, and looked forward to Tuesday and Thursday nights above all else, just to see her and talk for a few minutes -- or -- if I got really lucky, spend time with her by the pool when one of her dates went really bad.
And when I say I "thought" of her daily, I mean, I am unable to refrain from touching myself when images of her play through my mind. Ever since that day two months ago when she had nonchalantly removed first her top, then her bra, then her bottoms, in front of me, the thoughts never went away. I moaned her name as I fingered my dripping pussy every night before bed.
It was warm by the pool, and before long my mind was so focused on the thought of her gorgeous, perfectly hand-sized boobs, soft middle, and pearly pink lips that I began to feel a wetness seeping onto my legs. I let my mind wander to more thoughts of her. I jumped in pool to cool off. Mmm, swimming naked felt good. I enjoyed it for a few moments, loving the feeling of the water gently lapping my nipples, the feeling of the cool water mixing with the warm juices flowing from my tingling mound.
A chill had taken over the air, and I decided it was time to go in and check on the baby. I grabbed for my clothes -- too late realizing they were on the edge of the chair, and they fell right into the water. Great. I grabbed a towel off a nearby stack, fished out my wet clothes, and headed inside, naked under the towel. The baby was sound asleep, just as Audrey had predicted.
I tossed my clothes in the dryer and headed up to Audrey's room to grab a t-shirt and shorts -- she never minded sharing. I fought off the urge to spread out on her bed, smelling her all around me, and touch myself some more. I had wanted to do it so many times, but it felt like a violation of her privacy, so I had always refrained. My insides throbbed and grew warm just thinking about it. Warm juice dripped down my leg, and I steadied myself on her dresser, reached in to the top drawer to grab a shirt. My hand hit something solid, though -- a book? I swear, I didn't mean to look, it was just curiosity -- it was a DVD case. Blank, with nothing but a clear plastic wrapper. That and a note, which read:
A: You're unbelievably hot. -T
