It was a dream come true, my husband had taken the kids to see his parents for the weekend and I had the house to myself. This was a rare pleasure and I was going to make the most of it. My plans for Friday night were to drink a bottle of Stella Rosa wine, watch TV shows I had on Tivo, spend a little quality time with my trusty vibrator and sleep late, very late.
That was before my doorbell rang. Who could possibly be bothering me at 9:30 on a Friday night? Annoyed, I put on my robe, went downstairs and saw our neighbor, Dave Pearson peaking in the window next to the door. I opened the door just enough to poke my face out.
"Dave, what brings you out on this cold night?"
"I brought by the saw that Alex asked to borrow."
Alex is my husband; he and Dave are not quite friends, but more than acquaintances. Dave held up the saw to show me. I opened the door just enough for him to hand it to me but he caught me off guard and barged his way in. He set the saw down on the deacon's bench in our foyer.
"Hi Kim, is Alex home?"
"No, he and the kids are gone for the weekend, but thanks for dropping that off. I'll tell Alex it's here" I said, opening the door for him to leave.
"Alex and the kids are gone for the weekend, really? Why the bum's rush? Why don't you be hospitable and offer me some of what you're drinking?"
I must have looked surprised that he could tell I had been drinking, I certainly wasn't drunk.
"Yea, I can tell, it looks like you are on oh, your third, maybe fourth drink. What are you serving?"
He asked as he headed towards my kitchen. My alcohol addled brain was having trouble comprehending Dave's pushy behavior.
"Where's your glass?"
He asked, holding up the half empty wine bottle he had found on the counter. Not wanting to drag this unwanted intrusion out any further than necessary I said.
"No thanks, I'm done for the night."
"Kim, why so rude?"
I knew full well he was jerking me around, but I didn't have the guts to call him on it.
"Fine, one glass, just one!"
"That's more like it. Where's your glass?"
"Upstairs, I'll just get a new glass."
I brought two glasses out of the cabinet. Dave filled one to the top and handed it to me.
"I'm really not a wine man, what do you have for beer?" He asked as he opened the refrigerator. "What is this?" He asked holding up a Bud light with lime and sneering.
"That's what Alex drinks."
"Well I guess it's better than wine." He said, taking two bottles out of the fridge.
"Let's sit down and talk while I drink my beers." He said nonchalantly.
I followed him into our den where he made himself comfortable in the recliner. I sat down next to him on the sofa. My mind was racing trying to find a way to get him out of the house. I don't even remember our conversation. As we talked he kept clinking his bottle to my glass, coercing me to drink up. He had finished his two beers in the time it took me to finish my glass of wine. He got up and came back with the bottle of wine and two more beers. He refilled my glass and raised his bottle to my glass.
"A toast, to Kim, the hottest mom in the neighborhood."
I realized I was beginning to get drunk as I blushed and smiled.
"That's nice of you to say."
"I'm not just saying it, you know it's true."
I knew it wasn't accurate. Yes, I'm attractive for a 36 year old mother of two, and I am proud of my appearance, but we have some very beautiful women in our neighborhood.
We talked for a while longer then Dave got up to get himself two more beers. He was definitely flirting with me and I didn't mind it so much, but it was nearly 10:30.
Dave stood up, took my hand and pulled me to my feet. I jumped when he turned me around and wrapped his arms around my waist and pulled me close to him. I pulled away and when I did, he was holding my robe. Now I stood before him in a thin, clingy, knee length nightgown. I was embarrassed not only that my nipples poked through the sheer material, but they showed that my large breasts (that have fed two babies) were losing the battle against gravity. With my bra on, they still look fantastic, but without, well... It also revealed that my tummy sticks out a little too far. I work out and run, three days a week, keeping the rest of my body in good shape, but I can't get rid of my darn tummy for good. I reached for my robe.
"Dave, give me my robe." I said in a bitchy tone.
Dave laughed "You look much so better without it." He threw it against the wall and disappeared behind the sofa.
"Dave, you need to leave now." I said, trying to sound stern.
He sat down on the sofa and tugged on my hand, patting the cushion next to him.
"Sit down Kim."
"You need to leave Dave, now. Please"
He pulled on my arm again, harder this time.
"Sit down Kim, NOW!"
I was startled by him yelling at me and without thinking I sat down, keeping my legs pushed together and protecting my breasts with my crossed arms. Dave moved closer to me and ran his hand through my hair.
"You really are very sexy. Alex is lucky to have a woman like you to come home to. I don't know how he ever let's you out of the bedroom."
