Allison got off of the plane and met her mother in the lobby of the airport. The two of them hugged and then went to get her bags. She had packed light, just being able to stay for a week and not wanting to haul a lot of things around. And she instantly noticed something different about her mother. Mary looked happy, which she hadn't in a long time, and yet there was a strange nervousness about her that Allison couldn't place. There was something going on and she had no idea what it was, but she was instantly curious and her parents knew well that a curious Allie was dangerous when unsupervised.
They loaded her bags into the car and drove back to the house together. They chatted and Allison found out about her mother's new job. She knew that her mom had gotten a job shortly after Allie left for college and that the job made her happy.
"And I've been taking correspondence courses the last few weeks to work toward a legal secretary's degree." Mary shared and Allie was proud of her mother, but there was still something up. They chatted on the way home and Allie waited to share her own news until her dad was present. Still, she felt good bonding with her mother and it was clear that she was happy with her life.
Something that had been all too obvious to Allie before she had left was just how unhappy her mother had seemed to be. She looked bored when she was at home, like she had nothing to do. They used to have a regular housekeeper when Allie was younger, but her mother had let the woman go when Allie had turned fifteen and Mary took over the cleaning herself. It was something to do, but she had quickly gotten bored with it and a routine that kept the house clean was established. But Allie learned that they had a housekeeper again as Mary worked long hours some days and just didn't have the time to do it all herself anymore. But both of her parents had time off while she was home and that made her really happy. And when they got to the house and Allison saw her parents hug and kiss affectionately, her heart soared with pleasure. She had seen the growing cold between them and she had feared the worst. But it was very clear that they had settled whatever was between them and the playful way they were acting now set a lot of her fears to rest. She didn't want to be one of those people wondering if the only reason her parents stayed together so long was because of her.
They went out for dinner that night and she slept in her own bed and it felt right. The next day she woke to conversation downstairs and the smell of bacon driving her stomach to nearly eat itself in eagerness. She dressed and went down to breakfast and found out that there was a party that day in the huge back yard of the house. Her father had gotten the pool cleaned and filled the week before and there was a huge barbecue sitting out back, the kind that was built onto a trailer and rented by the day. Two caterers were already getting the grill ready and a half dozen others had been out back getting the yard ready for the guests. Her parents had invited a lot of people over and it was a fairly large event. But breakfast was just the three of them and they ate and laughed together over coffee and bacon and eggs.
When the guests started to arrive Allison went up to change into her bathing suit. Her parents had invited as many of their co-workers as they could and there would be almost a hundred people in the yard and house, many of them acquaintances of her parents, but a lot of them were her friends as well. She came down in her little string bikini and a sarong wrapped around her waist, her long dark hair back in a tail and sunglasses over her eyes as she heard some light conversation in the living room. There were a few people she didn't recognize there with her parents and she smiled warmly as she was introduced to them.
"Allie, this is Emily and her husband Joe." Mary said, introducing her to the couple, who were holding tiny little girls, only a few months old. "And these are their daughters, Casey and Riley. Emily trained me to take the job I have and then she was nice enough to be knocked up so I could take over." She said with a smile and Emily laughed at that.
Allie got on instantly with the four of them, walking them out back to get them a prime spot at the pool as other guests started to arrive. She was kept busy for a while walking around and being re-introduced people who worked with her dad and being introduced to people who worked with her mom. When she made her way back to the front door she saw a guy a few years older than her that instantly caught her eye. She gave him a good once-over before he saw her and she liked what she saw. Neatly trimmed sandy hair and a strong face, he had broad shoulders and strong arms and he was very tall, taller than her father was and she felt an instant attraction to him. When she came over her mother introduced them.
"Allie, this is my boss, Kyle Rossdale. Kyle, this is Allison, our daughter." Mary said with a smile and Kyle took Allie's hand with a smile and when their eyes met she knew that the attraction was mutual. She smiled her best smile and shook his hand warmly. She had heard a little about him the day before and knew that he was already a partner at the law firm when he was just twenty five years old. He was clearly very good at his job and he had given Mary a chance when no one else would.
"I'm pleased to meet you, Allison." Kyle said with a charming smile and he gave her a good once-over just as she had to him.
She looked a lot like her mother; the same dark hair and the same big blue eyes, the same smile and the same figure for the most part. She was a bit larger in the chest and just a little bit shorter than Mary was. She lacked the maturity of the older woman, but there was a feeling of freshness to her and her youth was clear in her face and her stance. She smiled at him in a way that said she was interested and he filed that away for later. He released her hand and out of the corner of his eye he got a look at Mary again. He had been gifted at reading non-verbal cues since he was six and he could read her jealousy like a book. But he didn't let it show, he just made a mental note to get Mary alone later and sort things out.
The group of them dispersed and Kyle found himself being escorted back to the pool by Allie and he took his time to talk with her for a while before she had to go back up front to escort in the next group of guests. She spent another hour or so chatting with people as they arrived, meeting the men and women from her mother's job and reacquainting herself with people from her father's job that she hadn't seen in a long time. But finally the day was underway and she got a cold drink, just ice tea as she was still nineteen, and made her way around to the pool so she could swim a bit before she ate. The barbecue was filling the air with the smell of smoke and cooking meat and people were mingling around a table of wine bottles or the three kegs that her parents had put out and all in all it was a good day.
She was nearly to the pool when she saw Kyle come out of the water. He had pushed up on the sides of the pool and sat on the edge with his feet in the water, his hair slick and wet and his bare back and shoulders to her. He was strong, well muscled and good looking and her attraction went even higher. She had lost her virginity at Prom the year before and she had an on-again-off-again boyfriend back at college, but never anything really serious. And she thought that a young, successful lawyer might be a good start. She walked up behind him and saw that he was looking for someone. When her shadow fell across him he turned and the smile that creased his face told her all she needed to know. He had been looking for her and that made her feel even better as she settled in next to him on the edge of the pool.
"So, how has my mother been at work?" She asked. "She was always a tyrant when it came to getting work done at home, so I don't imagine it's any different at work."
"Yeah, she's a great secretary, more of an assistant really. She streamlined my filing system, learned everything at the firm in just a few weeks and she knows her way around the office better than I do now. I couldn't function without her." He said with a nod and a warm smile.
The two of them chatted back and forth for a while and the attraction they felt was very clear to them both. For her it was the draw of a good looking guy who was clearly successful and dedicated to his job. It was a lot of attraction for a young woman just coming into her sexuality.
For Kyle it was a bit different. Allison was beautiful; no doubt about it but it was the resemblance to Mary that drew him to her at first. She was not her mother and he made no mistake about that, but the resemblances between them were uncanny. She had a larger bust and this close he could tell she was a large C or even a D cup and where her mother was in shape and worked hard to stay that way, Allie was clearly athletic, with a flat tummy showing the hints of muscle definition, strong, tone arms and legs and very little excess body fat outside of her chest. She had no baby fat left and it was very obvious that she did something to stay in shape aside from the regular exercises that most women did. When asked about it she smiled.
"Well, I was in the swim club in high school until my chest came in one weekend, then I was too buoyant to do much swimming. I run track at college thanks to an amazing sports bra and I'm in a ballroom dancing club. It's amazingly good exercise." She leaned in conspiratorially. "And there's a gym near school that has pole dancing classes, but don't tell my parents or I'll lie my ass off." She said in a low voice and he smiled and crossed his heart.
