I tossed the trashy romance novel I'd bought onto the coffee table. Here I was, all alone, my son out with his father in California for the summer and what was my plan for Saturday night? To sit, all alone, and read a book.
I sighed, got off the sofa and wandered down the hall to the bathroom. I turned on the light and looked at myself in the mirror. I was only 42 years old and I didn't have some of the wrinkles the girls I worked with had at my age. My black hair irritated most of the girls I worked with. It was long and hung straight down my back. Even on the most humid days my hair didn't frizz out like the other girls' did.
I ran my hands down my store bought chest. My ex, Richard, had begged and pleaded for me to get the stupid boob job after our son was born. I'd said no until he started being vicious and talking about how my itty bitty titties were starting to sag. Now, my 36c's were perky even without a bra.
I pulled up my t-shirt and ran my hand down my stomach. It wasn't as flat as I'd like it to be, but at 130 pounds I looked damn good, I thought.
I pulled my shirt back down and shook my head. I should be out having a good time tonight. It wasn't often in the last 12 years that I got a chance to just have fun for me. With Kevin out just graduating from high school and getting ready for college, I'd have plenty of time to have fun, right?
Right.
Sighing again, I walked back out the front room and flopped on the sofa.
I was reaching for my book when the doorbell rang. I glanced at the clock on the VCR. It was a little after seven. Everyone I knew would have called before coming over. It was probably one of Kevin's friends he forgot to tell he was going on vacation.
I walked over and opened the door. Sure enough, it was Dylan from down the street. Dylan and Kevin had been friends since the third grade and, even though Kevin was a jock and Dylan was a geek, they'd managed to keep their friendship through all of their years of school. We'd actually celebrated Dylan's 18th birthday just before Kevin went to visit his dad in California.
Dylan was rail thin. He couldn't be more than a hundred and forty pounds. At 6'1" he was taller than me by half a foot. He had sandy blonde hair that was always standing up and making him look goofy. Add that to the big coke bottle glasses he wore and you had the mixings for the painfully shy boy that was Dylan.
"Hey, Dylan," I said. "Kevin's not here. His dad has him for the summer."
"I know," he said, looking down at his feet. "He told me. He has my Madden game and I came to see if I could get it back."
That's my son alright. He borrows everything from everyone and forgets to give it back. Sometimes he's way too much like his dad.
"Sure," I said, opening the door wider. "Come on in and we'll go see if we can find it in the disaster area he calls a room."
Dylan smiled and stepped into the house. We went down the hall to Kevin's room and I, reluctantly, opened the door. My son is a slob. Yet another thing he has in common with his father.
Clothes were still all over the room. He had some plates and glasses lying on the floor by his bed. It's a wonder we don't get ants or roaches with all the food and crap he has in here.
"Sorry about this. He was supposed to clean it up before he left," I said.
Kevin shrugged and said, "It's okay. I'm used to it."
He walked over to look through the games tossed around Kevin's TV while I picked up some of the clothes. I bent over and grabbed a handful of clothes and tossed them over by the overflowing clothes hamper.
I glanced back over my shoulder and found Dylan wasn't looking through the games any more. No, his eyes were glued to my ass. I started to get mad but stopped. Why should I get mad if a guy was checking me out? Sure, he was my son's friend and he was only 18, but he was still a guy. And a horny teenage one too.
He looked up and saw that I'd caught him. His face turned bright red and he spun back to looking through the games.
I turned and tried not to giggle. Oh, I was so going to enjoy this.
"I found it," he said, jumping up and doing everything to avoid looking at me.
"Okay," I said.
We walked out of the room and made our way down the hall. I made sure Dylan was behind me. I gave my hips a little more shake than normal as we walked to the door. I knew his eyes were staring at my ass and it was turning me on more than I wanted to admit.
I stopped in front of the door and turned around. I caught his eyes coming up and felt a little tingle of pleasure run through me.
"Oh! I just thought of something," I said. "With Kevin gone, I don't have anyone to mow the lawn."
I leaned myself back against the door and pushed my chest out a little. Tilting my head down, I looked up through my lashes and asked, "Would you mind mowing my lawn for me, Dylan? I can pay you."
"Sure," he said, his head bobbing up and down at a hundred miles an hour.
"You're such a sweetie. Can you come by tomorrow afternoon?" I asked, opening the door and stepping out of the way. Dylan practically bolted out the door.
"See you tomorrow," I called after him.
I closed the door and stood there giggling for a minute. What was with me? Flirting with my son's friend! And enjoying it too!
*****
Dylan showed up a little after one the next day. I answered the door in a loose t-shirt and shorts.
"Hey, Dylan," I said. "Thanks so much for doing this."
He shrugged and said, "It's cool."
"The mower's in the garage but can you do me a favor? I kinda want to go out back and try to get a little tan, so can you start with the front yard?" I asked. Our front yard's not all that big, I knew it wouldn't take him long to do it. It was when he came into the backyard that he was in for a surprise.
He gulped and bobbed his head up and down. This was going to be too much fun.
While he went into the garage to get the mower I went and got one of the beach towels I had. I went into my bedroom and changed into my little bikini.
Dylan was going to have a hell of time mowing. If he liked my ass in shorts, he was going to love it in my tight little bikini bottoms.
I grabbed my book, some suntan lotion and my sunglasses and went out into the back yard. I laid the towel on the grass. I put on a little tanning lotion and lay down to read my book. It wasn't long until Dylan was pulling the mower into the back yard.
I'd lain out so I could watch him over the top of my book and I got a kick out of the sight. He walked through the side gate and came to a complete stop when he saw me. I even think I saw his jaw drop a little.
He stood there staring at me for a couple of seconds before he said, "I'm ready to do the backyard now, Mrs. Tyne."
"So soon?" I asked, pretending to pout.
He just nodded at me.
"But I just got comfy," I pouted some more.
"I could come back later," he offered.
I laid there for a moment before I said, "Or you could do me another favor. I can't get the lotion all over my back. Could you put some on me?"
Watching his reaction was priceless. He hopped from foot to foot. He turned red again and his eyes got huge. This was too much fun.
"O...Okay," he said, walking over to me.
He sat down beside me and picked up the bottle of lotion. He opened it and pointed the tip at my back.
"Wait," I said. "Put it on your hands first. It'll rub in better that way."
