It was a long drive home but the weekend away had been very entertaining. I was one of a group of friends who had rented a holiday home at a well-known lake and we had spent the long weekend water skiing and swimming and generally having a good time. We were a pretty homogenous group, early twenties and college educated. Catherine, who was travelling home with me, was an exception. While very beautiful, wealthy and well-connected socially, she was just one sandwich short of a picnic. Not outright stupid but prone to making remarks that show questionable perception. There was also an air of privilege and arrogance that I found distasteful.
Catherine had been a little grouchy at the start of the trip home but by the end she was almost belligerent. I couldn't understand what had happened. To be honest, I a little surprised when my friend Kate asked me to drive Catherine down to the lake. I had already offered a lift to another couple but they pulled out at the last minute so it was just the two of us on the road.
When we pulled up outside her mother's home, where Catherine lived, I carried her bags up to the door of their house. "I enjoyed your company," I politely but untruthfully offered.
"Fat lot of good it did me," she replied. I processed her statement. She was clearly disappointed. In what? What had she expected? It slowly dawned on me that, over the course of the weekend, she had expected me to initiate a relationship. The travel arrangements had been a set up to force us to spend time together. Now, don't get me wrong, she is a very attractive young woman; dynamite figure, gorgeous, fresh complexion, immaculately groomed. Unfortunately for her, she was A. Not bright enough for me to be interested in a steady relationship. And B. Too self-important and conceited. A real deal breaker.
The other point was that, from my perspective, she had given me no indication what-so-ever that she was interested in me romantically. I usually need a few cues before I take a first step. If anything, I thought her demeanor towards me had been aloof. I think because she is so beautiful, she is used to having men falling all over themselves to impress her. I had been responsible for a nasty little bruise on her ego.
Returning to her appearance, as I have said, she was a complete stunner but there was one idiosyncratic aspect to her appearance. She has what could be described as a strong chin. Not necessarily masculine but if you broke down her looks feature by feature, the chin would certainly be noted. As I said, not unattractive, but somewhat conspicuous.
A mature woman with a very similar facial feature opened the door. This had to be Catherine's mother. The resemblance was remarkable. Our eyes caught and I watched as she gave me the vertical scan. Always a good sign when a female flicks her eyes up and down your body. I have a theory that it is actually an involuntary response to the stimulus of a potentially attractive male. If they like what they see in the face they follow it up with the visual swipe from head to foot and back to head. Easy to miss but delightfully satisfying for the scanee. If the scanner is attractive it invites an approach.
Mrs. Honeyman reminded me strongly of one my favorite porn stars. Google image search "Kristina St James." There you have her. Maybe add in a solid measure of Stormy Daniel's chin and you are getting very close. OK, maybe Mrs. Honeyman was a little smaller but otherwise the facial features, general body shape, bouffant hair and the coloring were very similar. A genuine, bonafide milf in all respects. She was not tall at around five foot four but very well proportioned. Her figure and face were remarkably youthful for a woman with a 22 year old daughter. She must have been somewhere in her mid-forties by my estimate.
She smiled warmly at me and thanked me for looking after her daughter. The daughter pouted and marched inside. Mrs. Honeyman looked quizzically at me and I smiled and withdrew. As I walked away I abruptly turned and found Mrs. Honeyman's attention was firmly fixed on my ass. She started when she realized she had been busted. I saw her blush, weakly wave and then beat a hasty retreat inside.
I was earning my keep while doing post graduate study by doing odd jobs for friends, family and acquaintances. I was a bit of a "jack of all trades" and was much cheaper than a genuine tradesman. It was all word of mouth referrals. So it was not completely unusual to get a phone call from Mrs. Honeyman asking if I could install a set of flat pack shelves in her laundry.
While I knew that this was simply work, there was a little titillation in the thought that I was going to see that exquisite milf, the recently divorced Mrs. Honeyman. I knew any chance of a connection was as remote as finding buried pirate treasure in your back yard but I still made the effort to shower and shave and to wear rather more presentable clothes than I normally do when working. When I knocked on their door at the arranged time, it was opened rather more quickly than I expected. She looked sumptuous in tight fitting slacks and a sleeveless top that offered a generous slice of cleavage and some slim, tanned arms.
She seemed ill at ease, nervous even as she welcomed me in. I asked if Catherine was at home and was mildly relived that she was not. I could still feel the chill from when I had dropped her off.
I was ushered into the house and led to the rear. Mrs. Honeyman indicated the shelves and where she wished them to be installed. I made some measurements and penciled in some positioning marks on the wall.
I turned to face her. She looked like she was going to burst. Her face was flushed. She blurted out, "I wish to have a private word with you. Could you please follow me?" She seemed relieved that she had managed to get that out.
I followed her down the hallway, relishing the view of taut little bottom twitching from side to side, and entered what appeared to be a guest bedroom. She shut the door behind us and lent back against it. She was definitely anxious. Her eyes would dart towards me and then as soon as she made eye contact, they would dart away. Taking a deep breath she stood erect and nervously stammered, "I am asking for you to assure me that, what we are about to discuss, must never be mentioned outside this room. I am requesting your complete discretion."
