Josh approached the house where he would spend the upcoming summer and rang the doorbell. The house was large, colonial style with sizable grounds and a pool.
He waited patiently at the door for Ms. Edwards, the owner of the coffee shop he worked at.
Ms. Edwards frequently stopped by the shop to get her order of a large latte and a bagel, while she made her business phone-calls.
Josh quickly became her favorite employee when he started working there two years ago to make some cash while studying at the local college.
Her constant flirting and risqué innuendos sometimes made Josh uncomfortable, but he liked feeling desired, and she tipped well. He was sure she was just playing with him though, what could a rich middle aged divorced woman want with a scrawny broke college student.
He was reluctant at first to accept the offer she made him, to watch her home and dog while she leaves for a vacation in the Caribbean. The paycheck she offered made him quickly change his mind and accept though.
The door finally opened, revealing Ms. Edwards, already dressed in beach clothes for her vacation. Her body was in great condition considering her age. Despite the age difference, he would happily become involved with her.
"Ah, hello Joshua, welcome, did you find the house okay? Please get your sweet butt inside," she motioned him to come inside with her hands, warm expression on her face.
He returned her smile. "Hello Ms. Edwards, yes, a very impressive house it-"
"Great, great. Yes it is, I'm sure you are looking forward to spending the next two months here. I'm sorry, but unfortunately they moved up my flight so I have to show you around quick and hurry to the airport, please follow me," she gave him a slight push and continued further into the house.
Just as Josh set his bags in the hall he met Max, the seventy pound english mastiff he would have to take care of. Max drooled all over his bags and barked at Josh.
"Max! Be a good boy and leave poor Josh alone for a bit, mommy has to show him around, you'll have plenty of time to get to know each other later, my two sweet little boys," Ms. Edwards calmed Max.
Max sat down with a growl and waited, his eyes following Josh as he moved through the hall to join Ms. Edwards in the next room.
"This is the living room with an open kitchen, food for Max is in the cupboard there and-"
Lying on the couch was a girl in jean shorts and a white tank top with long blond hair, she looked as old as Josh, but he knew she only just finished high-school.
Ms. Edwards waited for a bit, giving her time to greet them, but the girl ignored their presence and stared into her phone.
"Vicky, this is Joshua, the boy I told you about," Ms. Edwards said addressing the girl on the couch.
Josh waved his hand at Vicky. She didn't respond and continued swiping at her phone.
Ms. Edwards continued talking to Josh. "You should've seen what I came home to last time I went away for a month and had Vicky watch the house. Oh lord what a mess it was, you wouldn't believe the bill for cleaners I had to pay. Hopefully with you here it'll be-"
Vicky rose from the couch. "I'm nearly nineteen now Mom, I can take care of myself! I don't need a fucking babysitter!" screamed Vicky as she stormed out of the living room.
Ms. Edwards waited until Vicky was out of earshot and continued. "I'm sorry about her, it's been hard ever since her father left. Come along now."
In the span of five minutes she managed to show him around the rest of the house. His room was on the second floor, overlooking the back of the estate and the pool. It was also right next to Vicky's room so he could pay close attention to her.
Ms. Edwards went over what she needed him to do as he helped carry luggage to her car.
All his shifts at the coffee shop were taken care of for the entire summer, so he could completely focus on his time here. He would have to fill Max's bowl three times a day and take him on a walk at least twice a day. The automatic watering system for the garden was broken so he had to manually turn it on each morning. All the plants inside also had to be watered. He would have to buy his own food, and some basic items from a list provided by Ms. Edwards for himself and Vicky. And under no circumstance is he or Vicky allowed to bring anyone over to the house.
He carefully closed the trunk of Ms. Edwards's cabriolet and joined her at the front.
"Okay Joshua, that's it." She slammed the driver side door of her car. "Have a nice summer and I'll see you in two months. If anything comes up leave me a voicemail and I'll try and get back to you as soon as I can."
He couldn't wait for her to finally leave, so he could start enjoying his summer. Not that he had anything exciting planned, he failed some of his exams and would have to retake them at the beginning of the school year, so he had a lot of studying to do over the summer.
"Oh, and one more thing. Be careful of Vicky okay? I shouldn't say that about my daughter, but she can be a real pain in the butt. One time when she was younger I came back to her babysitter sobbing uncontrollably, she refused to explain what happened or to come watch her again."
Ms. Edwards laughed at the startled expression on Josh's face.
"But I'm sure you'll do fine sweetie, just, don't let your guard down," she added.
Maybe this wouldn't be such an easy job after all. Earlier in the living room Vicky looked vicious.
"Bye, bye now sweetheart." The engine started revving.
"Bye Ms. Edwards, and have a nice vacation," Josh mumbled as he watched Ms. Edwards drive off.
The next couple of days were a breeze. While him and Max didn't quite see eye to eye at first, they quickly got used to each other. Josh even started thinking he might get a dog one day too.
Vicky kept to herself and didn't bother him. He tried to be nice and strike up conversation a couple of times, but she just ignored him. His usual 'luck' with the ladies. At least she didn't make any trouble for him.
He was going over his studies one day when he spotted movement outside his window by the pool.
It was Vicky. She had on a bright orange bikini, showing off her lean figure with wide hips and voluptuous breasts. Josh had never seen such a display of feminine beauty with his own eyes in person before, only on the porn websites he frequented.
Vicky set down a towel on one of the lounge chairs by the pool and stretched her body. She had to work out a lot, she was probably a cheerleader, Josh thought.
She jumped deep into the pool, the water enveloping her body. She swam under the water across the pool, towards Josh's window. Her upper body leaped out of the water, she held onto the edge of the pool as she breathed in and out.
Josh stared at droplets of water streaming down her chest, his member rising to attention at the sight.
Her long blond hair appeared almost brown when wet, her plump lips parted causing some of the water droplets to slide into her mouth. He examined her deep blue eyes as they met his...
Shit.
Josh quickly ducked under his window, his hard cock straining against the front of his pants.
Shit, shit, shit.
He was breathing heavily, panic setting in.
Maybe she didn't notice. She was just looking in his general direction, nothing more. It was just a coincidence, surely.
The top of his head slowly rose to look out of the window again.
She wasn't in the water anymore. Oh no, busted. Wait, there she was, lying on her towel, sunbathing. She didn't notice him spying on her. Close one.
His breathing returned to normal. Josh admired her body for a moment and then reluctantly went back to his studies.
Thoughts of Vicky and her body invaded his mind and refused to leave. He tried to persevere and focus on his studying.
It was futile.
He shut his book for today and went to take a long steamy shower, thinking of Vicky.
