I lived in an apartment on the third floor of a three-story apartment building on East Amelia Street in Orlando. At the time of this story, I had lived there for six years and liked it very much. The apartment was a large one bedroom and was located within walking distance from downtown. A couple who had managed the building since I moved in had recently moved to Atlanta. As they were growing older, they wanted to be closer to their family. Maude was their replacement.
I saw her briefly as she moved in and knew that I would get a chance to meet her when it was time to pay the rent. Not wanting to wait that long, I paid my rent a week and a half early. There was a drop box but I rang the bell and waited for her to answer. When she did, it was my first time to see her up close. She was older than I thought or maybe hoped she would be. I was twenty-eight and thought maybe that she would be close to that age but she appeared to be in her forties. She was wearing shorts and a blue top. She was in good shape and looked as if she worked out or at least exercised regularly. She was pretty but not beautiful. Her breasts were not large but looked good on her small frame.
Hi, I'm Ted Wilson," I said. "I live in 305. I came by to pay the rent."
"My name is Wilson also," she said with a smile. "I'm Maude Wilson."
That was an icebreaker. We spent several minutes trying to track down a mutual relation to no avail. The conversation was not fruitless, however. I found out that she was married but had not seen her husband in over two years. He had literally gone out for a pack of cigarettes and had not returned. She had hung on as long as she could it was costing her more to maintain the house than she could earn. When she saw the ad for an apartment Manager, she jumped on it. She could sell her house and have a little nest egg. Living expenses would be low because her apartment was included in her pay as manager.
"I'll just pay my rent and be on my way," I said as I handed her the check. "If I can help out in any way, let me know. We Wilsons have to stick together."
"If you really mean that, I do need some help," she said. The movers were nice enough to place my furniture for me but it just doesn't look right. Are you up for helping me move it?"
For the next two hours, we moved the furniture in the living room and bedroom several looking for the right configuration. With all the stooping and bending, I got several peeks at the tops of her breasts and I could not help but notice her tight butt when she bent over or squatted. We brushed against one another from time to time. It was all I could do to keep from having a continuous hard on. At one time, we were both on one side of a chest-of-drawers trying to move it back to the wall. When we finished, we were inches apart and I could almost taste her breath. I leaned toward her with every intention of kissing her but she pulled back at the last second. She didn't say anything but I thought that she wanted a kiss as much as I did.
'I apologize if I offended you, but it was just a moment in time," I offered.
"I'm not offended, I'm married," she said. "I do want to do something to thank you for all your work. How about I fix us dinner tonight? About seven?"
"O. K. I'll be here," I said.
I went to my apartment and showered. Thinking about the afternoon and the closeness Maude and I had shared, My cock was standing at full attention. I thought about masturbating but didn't. Instead I bathed and ran errands. My last stop was the ABC Liquor Store on Orange Avenue just south of Michigan. I bought two bottles of wine. Not knowing what Maude was preparing for dinner, I chose a blush, Pinot Grigio. I wanted a second bottle close by but I didn't want her to think that I was trying to get her drunk. I left one bottle at my apartment. I arrived at her door at seven-twenty.
Maude answered the door wearing a sleeveless black dress that fit her perfectly. Even though it showed off her features, there was nothing blatantly sexy about the dress.
"You look great," I said as I openly admired her. "And it sure does smell good in here."
"Thank you," she said. "I hope you like chicken."
Maude had made mozzarella chicken breast in some sort of tomato sauce. It was ready so we were seated at the table that we had moved three times that afternoon. The meal was very good and the conversation was light and lively. She seemed a little distracted at first but during dinner she seemed to relax. She was smart and had a great sense of humor. After we ate, we decided to finish off the wine in the living room. I offered to help with the dishes but she declined my offer. When she sat on the sofa, I sat next to her. I was getting turned on by her closeness. Our legs touched from time to time and she liked to touch with her hands to show appreciation whenever I said something she thought was funny.
We finished the wine and I was about to leave when as a test I said, "I don't have to work tomorrow and I really like to continue our conversation. I think I have another bottle of wine at my apartment. I'll go get it if you'll share another glass with me."
"O. K. but only one," she said. "I don't want to get drunk and do something foolish."
I went to my apartment and retrieved the second bottle of Pinot Grigio and went back to Maude's place. She had left the door open and put on a CD. The velvet tones of Tony Bennett wafted through the apartment. I went in and she was sitting on the sofa. Being as gallant as I could, I bowed at the waist and asked her to dance.
At first, she refused but at my insistence, she relented. She kept her proper distance and began dancing very stiffly. But during the second song "Remind Me" she had relaxed a little and we were dancing closely. By the "Street of Dreams" cut, we were holding each other and swaying to the music. I was aroused but I was trying to do the right thing. I don't know exactly how it happened but when the song ended, she looked up at me and I looked down at her and our lips met. For a moment, we kissed each other as if we meant it. Our arms were around each other and our bodies were touching. Mt cock was hard and throbing against her stomach. Without either of us consciously doing it, our lips opened and our tongues intertwined.
