This is a work of fiction, inspired by a young lady I had chatted with.
It felt like it was going to be another scorching summer in the desert and it was only June. We had been researching solar panels for our home, but I know our AC unit was original to the house and wanted to replace it around the same time we upgraded to solar. The problem is that most of the solar sales people that knock on the door are generally middle-aged sweaty men that are our canvassing the neighborhood.
I had gotten up early Saturday and got cleaned up and put on some comfortable, loose fitting clothing because today was my day to do my laundry and generally straighten the house. My wife was visiting her family back east for several weeks, so I had decided to put in some time and do a bit more research on solar as well as the cost of a new AC for the house.
As I sat there in front of the PC, which seemed to be happening far too much lately, a knock on the door and my dog barked which barked which startled me. My heart was racing as I got her calmed down and put in one of the spare bedrooms, and headed to answer the front door. I was thinking that it was either another solar salesman or members of one of the many local churches seeking to invite me to one of their services.
By the time I got the door open there was a beautiful young woman beginning to walk away, she heard the door open and turned around and smiled and began to introduce herself. She said her name was Poppy and she was representing a new local solar company and would like to give me and the lady of the house a short presentation. She was a stunning African American young woman that I guessed to be in her mid-twenties, or as I thought to myself, about half my age, which along with all my other thoughts made me feel like a dirty old man. I jokingly said, 'the lady of house is out, so you're stuck with me, but I'd love to see your presentation'. She smiled and said 'of course.'
As Poppy continued her introduction, I noticed that she had a bead of sweat running down her temple. I interrupted her and asked if she would like to come in. I said she must be burning up, it's only 9 am and already close to 100 degrees, she agreed. I swung the front door open for her and I tried to make a joke by saying I don't bite, which caused her to giggle a bit, but made me turn bright red as I realized that I was in fact sounding like an old pervert.
She came in and asked where she should sit. I suggested the couch because we had a large table there where she could lay out her information. As she began to walk towards the couch I asked if she would like a cold bottle of water she said yes please in a very genuine way.
When I returned with the water, she was beginning to lay out her presentation on the table and began with a formal introduction and a brief history of her company. I sat away from her on the couch, not too close as I didn't want this to seem weird. I was impressed because it wasn't a rehearsed canned presentation, but she was clearly knowledgeable on not only the product, but her company and the solar market itself. I told her how impressed I was with her knowledge and presentation so far and she placed her hand on my arm thanking me for the compliment.
I am not a touchy-feely sort of guy so her hand on my arm was somewhat electric. She went on to explain that not only was she one of the sales persons, but also a co-owner. I said that I was truly impressed. She smiled and thanked me again.
She had such a kind quality to her. I noticed she had finished her water, so I asked if she would like another and she said it wasn't too much of a problem. I said no worries and quickly returned with another cold water for her. This time I had sit a bit farther away, so to better be able to see her, I had brought my right knee up onto the couch so that I could face her a bit easier, she very gracefully brought her left knee up to the edge of the couch as she continued to explain the sequence of events and all of a sudden she looked away and her voice changed and it startled me.
I didn't quite understand what had happened initially, but I then realized that I had accidentally flashed her. I turned bright red again and began falling over myself trying to explain that wasn't my intent. She smiled and said, 'I'm certain it was an accident.'
She composed herself and grabbed another brochure and said that where other solar companies fall short is all they do is solar and that customers are often left with old outdated AC equipment. I laughed a little and she asked quizzically what it was that she said that caused me to laugh. Again, I felt like I was beginning to turn red, so I began to explain that the reason I hadn't got solar so far was due to exactly that reason. She smiled and said, 'see, that's what I'm talking about.'
She asked if we could take some very basic measurements of the rooms to know which size AC unit she would recommend. I said sure and asked that she follow me. She heard the dog barking in one of the spare bedrooms and I assured her that she would only lick her to death, trying to make a joke. We measured the room with a small laser measuring tool she had, and I went to the spare bedroom door and knelt down to calm Prissy, our 6 pound Chihuahua. Poppy looked at her and smiled and asked if she could pet her and I said yes, she's a sweetheart, but she thinks she's a rottweiler.
Poppy laughed and knelt down next to me to pet her. I noticed that Poppy's skirt showed just a bit of a beautifully toned lower leg. Realizing that I was probably starring so quickly changed my focus back to our dog which kept trying to jump into her lap. I grabbed Prissy and said excuse me while I went to place her into her crate. When I returned Poppy had just finished measuring the second spare bedroom so I took her to the master bedroom and again with my old man jokes said this is where all the action happens, she giggled again and I turned bright red again.
I thought to myself, stop it, it's not funny and you're acting like an idiot, which was the painful truth since I clearly didn't know how to interact with beautiful young women. She measured that room and the master bath and the closets. We went back into the living room and finished the last of the measurements. We sat on the couch and this time we sat a bit farther apart. She quickly jotted down the measurements on a notepad and said that for our size home a 3.5-ton unit would be good, but a 4 ton could cool the space a bit easier and not have to run as long to achieve the same level of comfort without being too oversized. I said that pretty much matches my research as well.
This time to hopefully prevent any awkwardness we decide to sit at the dining room table. She laid out her presentation on the table. She was sitting at the head of the table and I'm sitting to her left side and we're looking at it. She was leaning forward to slide the presentation over for me to see and I honestly couldn't stop staring at her breasts as she had rested them on her arm on the table and they were slightly pushed up into her blouse top.
I think we both noticed at the same time that I've been busted staring at them and I turn red again and I apologize again. She tries to calm me down by telling me that it's okay and that she should have probably not done that or wore that blouse today. I said, no, it's my fault, you are a professional and deserve to be treated accordingly. She smiled and said you seem like a nice man, I was making a concerted effort to maintain eye contact. Truth be told, I was clearly obsessed with her breasts, they were large and well-shaped and I swear I could see the outline of her nipples.
While we continue talking about AC sizing and how many panels are needed for our homes electricity usage, all I can do is imagine what her breasts look like and how her areolas and nipples look. I can tell that I am beginning to get an erection, but felt that because of my underwear and shorts that it would be somewhat hidden. I hope that she doesn't notice I am a bad person.
As she talks about the way the electric company handles their end of the connections, I notice a charge that confuses me and I told her and we both reached for a pencil at the same time which caused us to knock it off the table. She reached down between us to pick the pencil up off the floor and sat up very quickly and looked away from me. I feel like I am literally bursting into flames from embarrassment. I swear this is probably the single worst day of my life. I begin stuttering and slurring my words trying to find a way to say that I didn't intend for that to happen and while trying to be somewhat self-deprecating, at least there wasn't much to see hoping that she could see the humor in this old man.
She laughed out loud, put her hand on mine and said, it's bigger than you think it is. This makes me laugh and I say no, I am not sure how many you have seen, but I'm pretty sure it's not a big one. I tried to change the subject to and get back to what we were talking about, but she kept her hand on mine and said 'I've seen a few, but not that many, so don't get that sort of idea!' This made me laugh and I tried to apologize and explain that wasn't what I meant.
She makes the statement that there's obviously a lot of tension in the room right now to which we both laughed. she said well, turnabout's fair play, and then she very gently opened her blouse to show me the biggest, most beautiful breasts I have ever seen in person right there in her bra. I wish my response had been 'goddamn those are the biggest, most beautiful breasts I've ever seen in my life!', but instead I sit there with my mouth open like an idiot. I quickly realize that I am ogling her and start to look away.
