Chapter 1 New Gilf in the Suburbs
Solon returns from school and notices movers closing up their truck. He approaches and speaks to the movers and asks about the new neighbors. They inform him that an elderly single woman has moved in. Solon was hoping for some teenagers his own age, but he decided to see if the old lady needed help after the movers left.
Solon knocked on the door, but his new neighbor was not what he was expecting when this gorgeous, statuesque, silver-haired, curvaceous woman answered the door.
"Hello," the woman said, smiling as she answered the door.
Solon was silent as he stared at her eyes for a second and said, "Hi, I'm Solon Cain, your next-door neighbor."
Margaret and Solon started at one another, speechless long enough to become awkward, until he recovered and said," Welcome to the neighborhood, ma'am. I've come to help you get settled if you like.
Margaret recovered and responded with such warmth, saying, "Thank you. I'd love for you to help me."
Realizing they had been staring at one another the whole time, Solon broke eye contact and asked," What would you like me to do first?"
Margaret showed Solon around, and he moved what she needed and helped her clean until they settled her enough for the day to allow a good night's sleep.
"Thank you, Solon. I really appreciate your help. That was so kind."
Solon blushed and replied, "It was no problem, ma'am. I was just being neighborly."
"Oh, forgive me, Solon. I'm Margaret."
"You're welcome, Miss Margaret. It was no problem, really.." Solon assured her.
"I'd better get to my homework and get ready for bed. You're good for today, but I'll return to help you finish. Good night, Miss Margarett." Solon said as he left.
"Good night, Solon," Margaret said as she watched him walk away, quietly admiring his physique. Margaret feels her pulse quicken and heat rising from her loins as she catches herself biting her lower lip, appreciating what her eyes beheld. He turns around and waves as he disappears into the house. Margaret closes the door and lets out a sigh as she leans her back against the door.
