Melissa was lying by the pool trying to get the last few rays of sun before their trip home. They had driven to San Diego the past Monday and leaving tomorrow, Friday. Overall it had been an OK trip. Dan had been somewhat less grouchy than normal. Joe, her 10 year-old son was behaving himself pretty well, even though he complained there wasn't a lot to do. So, Dan decided to take him out on a deep-sea fishing exhibition which was supposed to last a good part of the day, and Melissa was relieved. It meant a day she could lounge by the beach outside their hotel, listen to her music, read, and take a nap. She didn't get those kind of days often. She worked full --time and with a husband and son to take care of, there wasn't a lot of time for relaxing. She did manage to work out three times a week, keeping her 39 year-old body in pretty decent shape. When she went to the gym, she did catch some looks, but those were mainly from the older, balder men. She, of course was happily married, so it wasn't like she was trying anyway.
As she lay there, she started to find herself dozing and realized she had better turn over. Right then she realized that Dan took off without putting lotion on her back. Bastard. She did love him, but he had to be the most insensitive man she knew. She looked up from her chair to see if anyone was around to help out a damsel in distress. That is when she saw him. She normally didn't gasp, but she felt her heart leap when she saw this man coming toward her just out of the ocean. He was tall, lanky and had blond hair that came to his shoulders. He was almost past her when she found her voice. "Excuse me" she said almost in a whisper. "I need some help."
He turned to look at her and she saw he had very deep blue eyes. His smile was perfect, even creating two dimples on the sides of his mouth. He bent down to her chair and said "What can a gorgeous woman like you possibly need help with?" The voice had a slight accent, maybe Italian, she didn't know. What she did know is that the wetness between her legs had nothing to do with the heat.
"I need to turn over and I forgot to put suntan lotion on my back." She said in her best innocent girl voice. "Can you possibly do something about that." She then gave a very soft smile which had gotten her way more than once. He smiled back.
