Liz was forty-five, blonde and blue, five foot two, one hundred, twenty-three pounds, and attractive. It had been a summer of change for her. First and foremost, her husband of twenty-one years decided that he wanted his freedom, so one day he just up and left.
The second change was that she had been promoted from vice-dean at the high school to dean of students. It meant more responsibility, more headaches, but more pay.
The third change was the she had been put in charge of the new teacher orientation program at her school. The high school was in a rapidly growing suburb and the student population had doubled every two years for the last six years. New teachers were coming in all the time.
The orientation was a two day event which included going over all the school policies, tours of the campus, and resources for houses, apartments, shopping, and other helps for teachers new in the community. On the first day Liz greeted the new teachers, eight in all, five men and three women. The youngest was Ali Payne, a graduate who would be teaching first and second year Spanish classes. Ali was a last minute replacement when the current Spanish teacher decided to retire one year earlier than he originally thought he would.
Liz noticed her right away as energetic, lively, bright, and very attractive. Ali was tall and lean with a boyish figure. Ali would also serve as the girl's soccer coach. On the second day, Friday, as everyone was leaving Ali made a point to stop and talk to Liz.
After chatting for a while Liz invited her for coffee at a local coffee shop not far from the school. Ali jumped at the chance. The two women met at the coffee shop and chatted about school, college, and where the school district would be headed for the next few years. As the conversation was winding down finally Ali said, "Liz, since I got this job so late, I haven't had a chance to find a place to live. I don't mind spending a few nights in a motel, but I need to get a permanent place to live."
The two women talked about renting versus buying, and the advantages and disadvantages of town homes and regular homes. Ali admitted that with school loans and a car she couldn't afford to buy. Finally Liz said, "I have an idea. My husband and I split, and I have a very large ranch house. Why don't you rent a room from me until you see where you are."
Ali was shocked and amazed at Liz's generosity. How great to have a place and a built in friend and co-worker. When Ali leaned over and gave Liz a hug Liz felt the warmth from another human being that she had not experienced for the past several years with her husband. She held the younger woman tight and then suddenly came back to planet earth and let the young woman go. Ali just smiled and did not seem to be upset at all with the longer than expected hug. Liz gave Ali her address and told her to get her belongings and come over to the house as soon as she could. With that, the two women parted company.
It didn't take long for Ali to pull up with her car and small trailer. Liz showed Ali the house and offered one of two bedrooms, both with attached baths. Ali made her choice and the two women began to bring in everything packed in the car and trailer. Four hours later everything was in and in place. The two women sat down exhausted and had glass of wine to celebrate their new living arrangements.
After a while Liz said she would be stiff in the morning and it was at that point that Ali said, "Why don't we take a quick dip in the hot tub. The hot water and the jets will help soothe your aching muscles."
Liz agreed and the two women went to their rooms to shed their clothes for the hot tub. Liz was out first, wearing a robe over her modest one piece bathing suit she grabbed the wine, two glasses and went outside. Ali came out a moment later in her robe. It was twilight as the two women prepared to get in the hot tub. Liz shrugged off her robe and then looked up to see Ali taking off her robe. Liz stopped as she realized Ali did not have a suit on underneath. Ali was lovely with an almost boyish figure. Small breasts, small hips, and her pussy was totally shaved.
Ali stopped and said, "I'm sorry I just assumed we would be nude. I'll run in and throw my suit on."
As she turned to leave Liz said, "No need. I guess I'm just being modest."
Ali just stood and looked at Liz and finally the older woman slid her bathing suit off. Liz was just the opposite of Ali. Liz had larger breasts on which gravity had begun to take its toll. She had flaring hips and a full mound of pubic hair. When Liz realized that Ali was just staring she became nervous and with a slight stammer said, "I've been thinking about shaving, but just never got around to it."
Ali poured the wine as both women got in the tub. The water silently swirled around them as they sipped wine and exchanged stories. Liz told of her divorce and how her husband had left her for a woman in her twenties and it was then that Ali said, "I'm sorry."
