I was still wiping the sleep out of my eyes as I quietly knocked on the door. I picked up Gary every other morning at 5:30. We both worked in the city and the alternating commuting plan saved the wear and tear on our vehicles. One of the fringe benefits to this practice was getting to visit with Leslie, Gary's wife. She always woke up with us and had a cup of coffee ready along with some good conversation while Gary finished up getting ready in the mornings. It didn't hurt that she was more than easy on the eyes.
She was a curvy 5'4 blonde whose silk robe made it hard to concentrate on whatever we talked about. The past year had made her comfortable with me, so it was nothing for her to spend thirty to forty-five minutes standing a few feet from me in nothing but that silk robe clinging to her every curve. The more she moved, the more the gap between the lapels would open, giving me a tantalizing view of her bare chest and an occasional glimpse of her cleavage.
"Ron?" she asked squinting at me as she opened the front door. It was obvious that I had woken her up.
"Hey. Good morning. You guys getting up late?" I answered.
"Gary didn't call you?" She quizzed me.
"No," I answered. "Everything alright?"
"Well, I guess you better come in out of the cold," she suggested.
She began telling me that they had argued the night prior as she shuffled to the coffee maker to brew us some coffee. She said that he'd "stayed with his sister" the night before.
"I'm really sorry to hear that Leslie. I'm sure that he'll come around. Everyone fights." I tried to console her.
With that, her eyes began to well up and her lip began to quiver. "I don't know Ron. This time might be a little different."
She was standing at the entrance to the kitchen. Out of concern, I walked over to her and put an arm over her shoulder. I led her to the couch in the living room. Once seated, she really began to gush. I sat next to her, very aware of the tanned leg that became exposed when she sat down. Even still, I wanted to be a gentleman.
I suggested "she let it all out". Of course, I meant the crying, but she proceeded to tell me about their previous night. Both had drunk a little too much and had become flirtatious at a local bar. The only problem was it was with others. Apparently, jealousy got the best of Leslie and she ended up making a scene in the parking lot. Gary responded by driving away without her. Unfortunately it was with the woman he'd been flirting with all night. He called later to say she had embarrassed him and he was staying with his sister, but she thought otherwise.
"Ron, I'm so worried my husband has left me for that slut he met last night," she stuttered while crying.
"Oh Leslie. I'm sure Gary is at his sister's and just needs to cool off," I said not entirely sure that was true. I began to rub the back of her robe, noting how nice it felt against her back. I moved my hand down far enough, despite my better intentions, and noticed she wasn't wearing a bra. I knew I was treading on thin ice.
Leslie turned toward me, exposing even more of her left leg driving me a little more wild and flooding my cock even more. She put her hand on the thigh of my jeans and said, "Thank you so much for listening. I must sound crazy."
"That's what friends are for," I said maintaining eye contact while wanting to look down at Leslie's cleavage, now exposed along with her thigh. "I'm sure he'll remember the beautiful woman he has at home and will come running back." I smiled probably the cheesiest smile she'd ever seen.
She smiled a sheepish smile and replied, "Thanks, but you don't have to say that."
She baited me perfectly because I shot back, "Shoot. I look forward to seeing you every other morning. That robe alone is worth the drive." I then realized I'd gone too far. I kicked myself internally.
