Rick got up from his computer and answered the door. He was wondering who could possibly be coming by, it was barely 7:30 in the morning.
He was surprised to find it was Jill, she and her husband Tom lived right across the street.
Rick had seen both of them hundreds of times, even chatted with them but he really didn't know them very well.
Tom was a big guy, a bit soft looking, although his job working construction should mean he really wasn't soft at all. The chubby round face, lopsided smile and big bushy set of whiskers added to the look.
Jill on the other hand was sort of pretty in a way, although she went out of her way to hide her figure.
Rick had never seen her in anything but jeans or slacks, and a fairly heavy top. She was slender, and it was obvious that she was not exactly well endowed up top.
Just a housewife, although to Rick they did seem to be an odd couple. Tom was always smiling, a bit boisterous, Jill was quiet and reserved, she seldom met anyone's eyes.
Rick had inherited the house he now lived in, it was a simple bungalow. He did like the place, having lived their with his Mom from the time he was 10 until he left home at 20. Now about to turn 30, the place was his, with no rent to pay and the utilities conservative, he could focus on his online sales business which really was doing quite well.
Another few months and he would have enough saved up to maybe buy one of those new Camaros, his old Chevy van he would keep for hauling products home to peddle on the auction sites.
Life was good, he didn't have a girlfriend though.
He had managed to make do with a few rare pickups, being in shape and on the cute side, he did find it fairly easy to attract a companion.

This morning he was up at 6 AM like always, and was just finishing his orders for the day when Jill showed up.
"Good morning!" He told her brightly. It was clear she wanted something but Rick had no idea at all what it could be.
"I...? I hope I am not disturbing you, I just wanted to talk." Jill said hesitantly.
"Uhh.. sure, I guess. Come on in." He held the door for her as she stepped by.
"Nice place." She stopped and looked around.
"Thanks, want some Coffee?" He asked. Rick was proud of his home, sure, it was simple but it was also neat as a pin, everything in his life was that way.
Even his old blue van outside got washed and then waxed regular as clockwork, it might be old but it did gleam.
"So? What's going on?" Rick asked her as he handed her a cup.
"It's Tom. He is cheating on me, I caught him. He just yelled at me, told me I wasn't.. very good, so it was my own fault."
"Good? What do you.. OH!" It hit Rick, she had to be talking about... sex.
"I just don't know what to do. What in the world is wrong with me?" She appeared to be holding back tears.
"There isn't anything wrong with you, Jill. You are attractive and....?" His voice trailed off.
Jill looked up at him.
"You think I am attractive?" She asked.
"Well, yes. I mean, you do dress.. uhh conservatively, so it's hard to tell, but you seem to be in shape."
"Tom always wants me to wear dresses, and tops that are.. you know." She suddenly blushed.
"I see. Well, men like the idea of their own mate looking good, I guess." Rick really did not quite know what to say.
"I don't get it, I let him.. have.. I mean, any time he wants to, but it isn't enough and now he has been seeing that girl down at Charlie's bar, the blond one."
Rick knew exactly which one she meant, it had to be Caroline. Blonde, always in tops that barely did the job, shorts SO short the lower portions of her butt hung out.
She was fun to watch but she wasn't Rick's type, he much preferred the nice sleek and slender females.
"Sort of like Jill?" popped right into his head, except she was so shy acting and conservative he really had paid no attention to her.
"I can't imagine, I mean, with a woman like you at home...?" Rick was trying to make her feel better.
"Do you really think so?" She seemed to brighten up.
"Well, yes I do. In fact, if you weren't married...?"
"Tom told me.. to go out and find someone, maybe that would get me past my being so.. bashful."
"You are kidding me."
"No, I'm not."
"But I don't know anybody, and I just couldn't. Not with a stranger." She suddenly smiled.
"You were the only one I could think of." She told him.
"Me?"
"Yes. You are always so nice, and I know you aren't.. gay or anything because I have seen you bring women home."
"I guess I am not quite getting it."
"I wanted to ask you if you would make love with me. Tom said it would be good for me since I have never.. I mean, Tom is the only one."
Rick just stared at her.
"If you don't want to, I will understand." She looked down, suddenly bashful acting again.
"I think I would love the idea!" He told her.
"Really? Oh, God. I thought you would say no."
Jill stood up and looked around.
"Do you want to do it in here, or should we go to the bedroom?" She asked.
Rick managed barely to stifle a laugh, this conversation was weird, he just could not imagine what was happening.
"Tom isn't going to find out and come over here to try and beat me up, is he?"
"No. I already told him that if I was going to do this, it would be you." She smiled.
"You are kidding me."
"No, I'm not. He went out and did it with that bimbo so I get to myself. Besides, he told me it would be good for me, he said I was a.. a.. stick in the mud!" Jill's chin came up defiantly.
"But you haven't.. I mean? Tom is the only one?"
"Yes. But he told me I could only do it once." She watched as Rick got up. He reached out to take her hand, she took it and he led her into the bedroom.
Letting go, Rick walked over and sat on the edge of his bed.
