3. Nancy Plans a Shopping Trip
On Friday morning, Nancy and I got up earlier than usual and went for a jog. It was a good way to get to know our new neighborhood. When we got home we took a shower together in the rather cramped bathroom adjoining the guest room. It would really be nice to move back upstairs again!
I wanted to get to work early, so I left the house at about 6:45. Nancy, wearing a short white terry cloth robe (and nothing else), kissed me good-bye. She said she wouldn't be going to the gallery until late morning, so she'd still be home when the drywallers arrived. She said she'd pass on the message to Vince that we were willing to hire Bryce to paint the upstairs bedrooms, bathroom, and landing area.
I asked her, just before I left, if she was going to get dressed before the guys arrived or if she intended to stay in her robe. Smiling at me, she said she'd probably still be in her robe but that she'd try not to let the guys see too much of her.
At the bus stop, I began thinking of all kinds of possible situations involving my beautiful wife and the drywallers. Her robe was quite short and prone to falling open. If she wasn't careful leaning forward, her naked ass could be seen from the back and her breasts could be seen from the front. Would she walk up the stairs, to discuss the job they were doing, wearing only her robe? If she did, anyone below her on the stairs would be treated to a wonderful view of her naked ass and crotch.
I kept thinking of Nancy in her robe walking around with the guys upstairs discussing this and that with them. She'd said that she'd try not to let them see too much of her. Did this mean that she meant to show them some of herself?
Ah, the delicious torture of being married to an exhibitionist.
I called home as soon as I got to work in Berkeley. Nancy said the guys had arrived about thirty minutes earlier and that she'd told Vince we'd hire his nephew. I asked her if she was still in her robe and she answered no, she'd met them at the front door stark naked. For a split second, I was jolted. Then I realized she was putting me on.
She laughed and said that if the guys had shown up a little earlier, they might've caught her in her robe. But she'd put on pants and a top by the time they arrived.
Nancy had a parting message for me. "If it makes you feel better, all three of the guys seemed very interested in my top. It's unbuttoned pretty low and rather sheer. I noticed them staring at my breasts several times. But I've got to go to work now. I'll see you later at home."
I left work early, telling my boss I'd complete the project I was working on over the weekend at home. Actually, it was pretty routine for all of us to knock off early on Fridays. I got home at about 3:00 o'clock. Nancy wasn't home yet, and I could hear the guy working upstairs.
I got a beer from the refrigerator and sat down in the living room to relax. About fifteen minutes later, I heard Nancy on the porch going through her purse for her keys. I stood up quickly and opened the door for her.
I followed her through the dining room and into the kitchen, where I got myself and her another beer. She removed her coat and laid it on a counter.
"Did you talk to Bryce about the painting job?" she asked. It was interesting that this should be her first thought upon arriving home. Had she been preoccupied with the idea of having the teenage boy working alone in the house?
I told her I hadn't. I'd talk to him as soon as he was available.
A few minutes later, as Nancy and I sat at the kitchen table drinking beer, Vince came downstairs. He said they'd made better-than-expected progress today. In fact, they were virtually done with the job. He said the seams looked really good, but he'd stop by in the morning and see how dry the mud was. He thought he'd be able to begin sanding. He'd already turned on the fans upstairs to speed up the drying.
I handed him a beer and he joined us at the table. A few minutes later, his two helpers came downstairs with buckets, trowels, and other gear. They carried them out to his truck. Then they came back in the house and carried down some more stuff.
As Vince, Nancy, and I sat around the table chatting, Vince's eyes went repeatedly to my wife's breasts.
No wonder. She hadn't been lying earlier when she said her blouse was sheer. At times, it was possible to make out her light pink areolas. Once, when she stood up to do something at the sink, the light coming through the back door backlit her so that the shape of her left breast, including its nicely erect nipple, was briefly but clearly visible. Both of us watched her breasts jiggle as she walked back to the table.
Also, the top two buttons of her blouse were undone so that the insides of her breasts were on greater or lesser display depending on one's vantage point and what she was doing. A fake-pearl necklace hanging down between her breasts drew further attention to them.
Bryce and Rasheem joined us in the kitchen then. Rasheem told Vince he had to leave as soon as possible and Vince asked him if he needed a ride home. He said he didn't, that he'd take a bus home. Vince walked outside with him and the two of them chatted for a few minutes on the front porch.
Bryce sat down in a chair next to Nancy and she asked him if his uncle minded if he had a beer, too. He said Vince didn't care so long as he didn't get drunk, so Nancy fetched him one from the refrigerator.
"You guys can drink all the beer you want," she said. "I'm going to have some wine, though."
She returned to the refrigerator and removed an open bottle of white zinfandel from a shelf near the bottom. Her ass looked great as she bent forward in her tight dark pants. There wasn't, of course, even a hint of a panty line. Bryce and I watched her reach up for a wine glass in the pantry, pour wine into it, and return to the table.
I decided, just as Vince returned to the kitchen, that while it was great fun leering at my wife's body, I should discuss the painting job with Bryce. Bryce and I agreed on an hourly wage. Vince, rejoining us at the table, said he'd leave a tall ladder for his nephew to use (the ceiling are high) and that he'd bring some drop cloths by tomorrow when he came by to do some sanding. He asked Bryce to help him with the sanding and Bryce eagerly agreed. There was little doubt in my mind about the source of his eagerness.
Nancy mentioned shopping for paint tomorrow afternoon.
Bryce asked Vince how long the sanding would take. Vince thought they should be finished by noon.
Bryce spoke directly to Nancy, as though I weren't in the room. "I'd like to go with you tomorrow afternoon, if that's all right."
"OK, that's a date," said Nancy, smiling broadly at him. Her choice of words, I'm sure, was meant to tantalize him.
We sat around another thirty minutes talking and drinking. Then Vince said it was time to go. He and his wife had to get ready for their trip to Kentucky. Since he was virtually finished with the drywalling job, he thought they could take off on their trip on Monday or Tuesday.
