I loved summers, especially this one. Home from school, all I had to do was sit in the high chair in my red one piece; reflector pilots, floppy hat, with the big dollop of zinc oxide on my nose and tell little kids to stop running.
I'd been life guarding at the neighborhood pool since I was sixteen. I knew everybody. Everybody knew me. It was the perfect summer 'chill job' between years at college and it gave me enough money that my college fund stayed flush. Yeah. I loved my dad, but he wasn't helping. What my mom left me was sending me to the best school in the state.
Oh, reflector pilots, you caught that, huh?
How else am I supposed to check out all the simmering hot bodies without getting caught? Sure, it let me watch the guys watching me. That was to be expected, but those weren't the hot bodies I was interested in. Not even the cute high school girls that laid out, laughing and giggling in their skimpy little bikinis.
No, I was looking at their sexy moms. Older, mature women, not girls.
