I couldn't believe this was happening. I was locked in a hungry embrace passionately kissing this woman whom I desired since I first met her. She surrendered completely to me and I gave in fully to my lust and desire to have her. There was only one problem. She is married and her husband was less than 30 feet away.
It all began innocently enough. I found her through my daughter. Our daughters were day students at the nearby boarding school. Knowing the school took in other area kids, I asked the school to provide my contact information to the other families in the area to facilitate coordinating transportation for my daughter. The student we ride-shared with the previous year graduated and now we needed new arrangements. I was contacted quickly enough by one family. But, we couldn't mesh schedules to make things work. A few days later, she called.
"Hello," I said when I picked up the phone.
"Hi, my name is Felicia, Felicia Hendricks. Is this Jeff MacLean?"
Wow, I thought. Her voice is so soft, but so confident. "Yes, this is Jeff," I responded.
"I got your name and contact information through Gordon-Dunsford. Are you still looking for a family to share a ride to the school?"
"I am as a matter of fact. If you don't mind, what are your circumstances? What are you looking for in this?" I asked Felicia.
"Well, my daughter Melanie is a freshman this year at G-D and we need help with the transportation. I saw you were looking for transportation and we live in the same town so I thought I'd give you a call."
"Oh really, where in town do you live?" I asked casually.
"We live on Elm Street."
"Wow, that's right around the corner from us," I said.
"I know, I saw that and I thought this could work out well," Felicia responded quickly with excitement in her voice.
"OK. Well, Felicia, let me tell you what we're looking for. I travel for work so I can't be available every day to drive. But when I'm not working, I can be available morning or afternoon. My sister, who is living with us, works mornings and can be available to pick up in the afternoon. What we need is someone who can drive in the mornings and we would take the afternoons."
"That's sounds great. I work at home so I can drive in the mornings. It's the afternoons that are difficult for me. It's either work or one of our other daughters who needs a ride to or from something," Felicia finished with mild frustration in her voice.
"All right, well if it's ok with you, do you mind picking up Tara tomorrow morning?"
"Who?" Felicia asked.
"My daughter, Tara."
"Oh, sure," Felicia said laughing a soft beautiful laugh. "We'll be by to pick her up at 6:45."
"We'll make sure she's ready. Do you need directions?"
"No, I know where it is. I drive by your house everyday."
That was easy to believe, my house is on one of the main streets going in and out of town. And so it began. The next morning I watched as my daughter got in the Hendricks's SUV, plodding along like a typical teenager. I couldn't see into the SUV because of my being half-asleep and the time of morning. Whoever was driving was having a hard time backing out onto the main street at the beginning of rush hour. My driveway has a little back-up space which allows you to back in and then turn a car for easy direct exits onto the street. Seeing this was missed, I staggered out to offer my learned wisdom and offer advice. As I approached the driver, I could see she was looking over her shoulder waiting for a break in traffic I knew would be nearly impossible to get to back into the street. Tapping on the window, the startled driver jumped and quickly turned in her seat. The window came down and I was greeted with a bright beautiful smile and sparkling eyes. With her hand to her chest, she said chuckling "You startled me."
"Sorry about that. I saw you were having trouble and I thought I'd show you the turn-around." I looked around inside the SUV and saw Tara and Melanie zoned out and tuned into their little worlds like typical teenagers. "What?" Felicia asked.
"If you pull forward into this little turn-around area and then back up toward the house, you can drive directly out into the street without trying to back out," I explained.
"Oh, I feel stupid," Felicia said embarrassed. "Don't worry about it, I didn't notice it at first either when we first moved in."
"Ok, thanks," Felicia said as the window closed and I watched as she pulled out of the driveway.
Wow, she's pretty hot I remember thinking after our first brief encounter.
Later that day, it was my turn to do the driving. I headed over to G-D to pick up the girls. There is a special area to the side where the day students wait for their rides. There weren't many kids or cars there so getting the girls didn't take long. We made small take as we drove. It's only about 20 minutes by the back roads from the school to the house. I had gotten directions from Felicia earlier and found their driveway easy enough. It was a long winding private driveway and I remember thinking how beautiful and peaceful the property was set so far off the road. When I approached the house, I saw a parking area between a large colonial house and what appeared to be a large barn. Felicia popped out from behind her SUV and smiled her beautiful smile at me. I remember what she was wearing, a pair of jeans, a gray sweatshirt, a green down vest, and a pair of black clogs. She looked elegant even though it was obvious she was working outside. The other thing I noticed now that she was standing outside was her thick mane of lustrous auburn hair. Wow, she looked hot I thought now seeing her more fully and in better light. We exchanged pleasantries and she asked me if I wanted to come inside to chat. I demurred thinking my daughter and I should get going.
The driving became routine and we got more comfortable with each other and the arrangement. My daughter started spending afternoons at the Hendricks's and at first they would drive her home around dinner time. I was thinking this was becoming a burden, so one day after having dropped her off after school I went back after a few hours to bring her home. Felicia once again greeted me in the driveway with her sparkling eyes and beautiful smile. She also gave me a light hug and a peck on the lips. Needless to say, this caught me off guard and got me thinking.
Her outfit was similar as before but this time without the vest. I looked at her chest and saw "Wellesley." I looked at her and I asked "did you go to Wellesley?" with a hint of expectation in my voice. I wanted to know more about this woman.
"I did," Felicia responded. Picking up on my hint, she continued, "and no we aren't all lesbians or liberals."
With a smile on my face appreciative of the response I asked "what about you?"
Felicia smartly replied with a laugh, "I'm neither."
And with that we each had a good laugh. I remember thinking I'm liking her more and more.
Felicia said, "Tara and Melanie seem to be getting along well. I think this is working out well."
I said, "That's great, I think it's going well too. I came by to pick up Tara and take her home."
