Homeowners Association Annual Picnic
AT THE PICNIC
The pool was well used on the Labor Day weekend for the Duque Cove homeowners association annual picnic and business meeting. My folks lived in an upscale community and while it was not gated, the privacy made it feel like it was. We'd lived there a long time and I'd babysat for several families over the years. I enjoyed it and made good money. While my parents had plenty of income they felt I needed to know about earning my own money and so I had been very busy as one of the neighborhood babysitters.
There were two other girls who were my age and had just graduated from high school and like me, were headed to college. We all were in two piece suits and there were plenty of boys paying attention to us. The other girls seemed to have withdrawn realizing that the 'college girls' had the boys attention. Water was everywhere, being splashed and thrown on the picnickers. I got splashed a lot more than the other girls it seemed to me, maybe it was because I was better developed than they were and while my suit was not risque it was a two piece and showed plenty of my ample body.
Mr. Jackson was one of the dads who was enjoying the pool with a bunch of us. A couple of times it seemed like he was splashing me kind of hard but I didn't mind. He was a nice man, very nice looking and in awesome shape. I kind of guessed that he was a gym nut with the way his body looked. Nice muscles in his arms and a definite six pack stomach! I'd sat for them several times and liked him and his wife. Their little boy was a cutie and now helping his dad splash me.
When the evening was winding down and I had slipped on my shorts and a cover top, Mr. Jackson kind of made is way over to me. "Jade, I hope I didn't splash you too hard today. It was all in fun."
"Ha, Mr. Jackson you did get me plenty wet...but then I was already wet and so it didn't matter. I enjoyed it." Right then he and I were on the other side of the pool from most people and only little kids were around us.
"Jade...I hope this comes out OK, but you have really matured from when you sat for us. You have developed a lot." As he spoke his eyes were right on my now C cup breasts, and I knew he was right. I was tall and lanky the last time he saw me over a year ago...and my genes had kicked in and I was now well on the way to looking like my mom and older sister, both who had nice C/D cup boobs.
I was a bit surprised by his comments, although I knew he had checked me out repeatedly over the picnic event. "Uh...oh...well, thank you Mr. Jackson." Then after a pause I thought why not tease him a little. "You are a pretty fine specimen yourself."
"Jade, is your phone number the same as when you sat for us? If it is OK with you I'd like to call you next week some time and visit a bit more. Is that OK with you?" The look on his face was like a boy who liked me and wanted to ask me for a date, but wasn't quite ready. I thought to myself...what does he want to talk about.
"Sure Mr Jackson, that would be fine. It would be nice to visit some more." I thought it was no harm in trying to make him at ease since he was looking kind of uncomfortable. "Most any evening is a good time, and you might catch me early afternoon since I am usually at the house and...alone." My last comment surely pleased him and now his apprehensive face was beaming in satisfaction.
"Good. I'll call you tomorrow evening."
MONDAY EVENING
It was about six o'clock when my cell went off and it showed Frank Jackson, so I knew it was him. I had just finished my part of getting dinner ready, so I headed to my room and answered my phone. "Hello Mr. Jackson, how are you this evening."
"Well Jade, hi. And to be perfectly honest I am very nervous. I want to talk to you and hope you will not be offended...or angry."
"It is OK Mr. Jackson...I like you and am comfortable talking to you. This is our conversation, right? Just between the two of us?"
"Yes. Oh sure it is just us. Jade...remind me...you had a birthday earlier this summer and are now 18 aren't you?"
"Yes, I turned 18 in July. Thanks for remembering."
"Ah...Jade...you are heading to the University of Minnesota in St. Paul I understand. I also hear that you got some very nice academic scholarships for outstanding grades. Very nice!"
"Yes I did. Thanks. You know our high school is big and the senior class was a few over 400 kids. I ranked in the top 5% of the class, so I feel very grateful for all the help my parents and others gave me. I remember discussing some Algebra problems with you and you knew it so well." I thought with all the praise he was heaping on me, it didn't hurt to stroke him back a bit.
"Well, Jade, I will be traveling to the Twin Cities some this fall and would love to have dinner with you some evening when I am there. Is that something you would consider?"
Wow, he was faster than I imagined. I knew very well he was married and had two small kids. His wife was very pretty, but I never got the feeling that she was overly happy. She was a distant person, but I kind of wondered if it wasn't the 'pretty girl' standoffishness. She might have been quite nice to him, but I always found her kind of distant. "Yes Mr. Jackson, I would be delighted to go to dinner with you. There are many places in Minneapolis-St. Paul and you probably know about a lot of them."
"Great. We'll pick out a place that both of us like then when we are getting together. I can give you a week or more notice when I will be there, will that work?"
"Sure that will be great. I look forward to it Mr. Jackson."
"Oh, Jade. We are both adults and my first name is Frank. I'd really like it if you would call me that...if you feel comfortable doing it. OK?"
