I'm a widower for two years now. We had lived-in the same house for eighteen years. I had watched the neighbor kids grow up with my step-kids. The girls next door just couldn't seem to get away. The youngest was disabled so I could understand that. The oldest one, she just couldn't find a job that paid enough even with a college degree. Not too sure why but that is not my problem yet.
I was up and out in the yard early before it got hot. I hate the heat of the day. I was tending my flower beds and yard. I heard the door slam on the house next door. I look up to see Betty, the oldest, storming toward her car.
"Don't take my car out of the driveway." Her father shouted.
She stopped, turned and stomped toward me and the road. I just continued pulling weeds and thinking that she was damn good-looking. Twenty years younger than me but still damn. She walked into my yard and flopped down into one of my Adirondack lawn chairs. I looked at her and stood. I walked into the house. I poured two tall glasses of ice tea. I returned to the yard. She still sat there fuming. I sat a glass of tea on the arm of the chair. She looked at me, "Thank you"
She took a drink as I sat down in the chair next to her.
"I'm working two jobs. I still can't make enough to get out of my parent's house." She said.
"Dental Hygienist is not a good job?" I ask.
"Yeah, it's a great job. Only thing is there are so many of us now most dentists won't hire a full-time hygienist at full pay. When they can hire two or three part-time at partial pay." She said.
"What about your boyfriend?" I ask.
"That jack-ass, he cares more about his hot rods than me. He told me to leave he still wanted to see me but couldn't afford me in the house. I left him." She said.
"That sounds about right I was the same way at that age. Now I have neither to care about. I can't see well enough to drive. I have no need for a hot rod. My wife is dead so I have no need to care about her. I might have a solution that will help both of us. I was just thinking. I need a housekeeper to help me. I have a spare room unoccupied. Why not rent you the room for your housekeeping. It would not cost you anything. I will buy a car that you can use to drive me around and for your personal use also. If needed I can throw in some spending money." I said.
"You want me to work for room and board?" She asks.
"Yeah" I said.
She sat quiet for some time.
"I have run of the house?" She asks.
"You will have free roam of the house. I run the house." I said.
"What about my daughter?" She asks.
"There is a second room, if you want her to stay. I will expect more from you then." I said.
"What kind of more?" She asks.
"Housework and such" I said.
She sat some, thinking about it more. She looked at me and then said, "I think I will take the offer. I will be your housekeeper and driver for room and board." She said.
"Good, I will be glad to train you to meet my standards. They are not high." I said, "Shall we go in and see your new home."
"Yes" She said.
I lead her into the house. It had been remodeled within the last two years. Since my wife died, I had money several million. I was not telling Betty here about that. I spent the next few days moving her in and teaching her how to clean my house. The things she was to leave alone and the things she could touch.
Several months passed, we were getting along fine. Her daughter wanted to stay where she was. So I let Betty have use of the second room. She would set out in the living room with me watching TV in the evenings. Her jobs were slowly becoming nothing. Her one boss had hired two more hygienist and cut her hours. Her other boss laid her off. She was spending more time with me.
One afternoon I said, "I'm going to take a shower." As a joke, "Would you care to join me and wash my back?" I ask.
"Sure, I need one too. Plus I have not been with a man for some time now." She said, "That is what you want to fuck me?"
"Well, I was just joking, but yeah, if you are willing." I said.
"We are spending a lot of time together. It only seems natural we sleep together." She said, "I would like that too."
We got our stuff and met in the bathroom. I stood there naked when she came into the room. She smiled shyly I kissed her.
"May I remove your clothing?" I ask.
"Yes" She said.
