By the time that I was 30, I had been living away from home for a few years and I was fortunate enough to have been able to purchase a small house after a break up with a girl that lived with me for a year and a half. I accepted a job with a new employer which had me starting work at 5am. That was early for me. There was a small crew in at that hour and after a few days I was getting to know everyone and joking around with them as we worked.
Elaine was quickly warming up to me. She was high energy and maybe a little whacky, the 'talk your ear off' type but nice, and hard to not look at. Her brown hair was a little past her shoulders and she was always smiling. A smile almost always makes a girl more attractive but also she had a really nice ass in snug jeans and her tits that were just on the cusp of being big for her frame.
Those two features made her waist look quite small in comparison and set off the classic hourglass figure. I normally was drawn to smaller chested women but the roundness of her breasts definitely distracted me. She was a jeans and t-shirt girl but would probably look great in a prom dress or a summer dress. As it was, the workplace didn't have a dress code but did provide unflattering work clothing, which she managed to make look good.
After a couple of months I was pretty comfortable in the new job and Elaine and I had gotten to know each other fairly well on a superficial level. She told me stories of growing up and some high school stories, all about her dog, as well as her current living situation with her boyfriend, Dave. One morning Elaine came in and I could tell that something was not right. She looked like she was sick or something and later she told me that she had not slept and was crying all night. She looked terrible.
Elaine went on to tell me that she and Dave had a major blowout and throughout the rest of the shift, she told me of the ongoing troubles that she was having with him. It had come to a head the previous night and it ended up with him telling her that she had to move out in a very aggressive manner.
She said that when she went to bed the previous night, that Dave had started making moves on her and in her words "So, I let him." and as soon as he was done, he left her and said, rather mumbling "You fuckin' bitch". She began asking him what she had done to have him say that to her and that was when things really started to ramp up. He got very nasty with her and threw some things around.
It put Elaine in a bad situation because she still had feelings for the guy and she also lived far away from family, like me, and didn't really know many people. She had no support system. I thought that it might all just settle down and things would eventually get back to normal, however, as a couple of days went by, it looked like they weren't going to patch this up.
Elaine told me that she had contacted a few people with rooms for rent and that she had a meeting scheduled with one of them. She was rather restricted by the fact that she only had a part time position and she had her dog. Many people didn't want to rent a room to a person with a dog. She told me about being in a bad financial situation with a couple of years left to pay on her car as well as credit card bills. While in the relationship with Dave, she never paid rent or bills and was realizing now that she was spending just about everything that she earned and was worrying about where rent money would even come from.
I didn't ask her about the meeting in case it didn't go well but a few days later she was telling me that it went okay aside from the fact that she did not like that the older man was single, and that he was looking at her in a particular way. The rent for the room was reasonable, but not even close to something that she could afford now that she was aware of the reality of her finances.
She said that she had discussed reduced rent with the guy in exchange for house cleaning or other duties and he seemed open to it but it made her feel like he would try to use the situation to his advantage in a physical manner and everything that she said about the situation reinforced that. She was definitely more stressed after the meeting than she had been in the time leading up to it.
"So that would be a deal breaker then?" I said jokingly just trying to lighten the tension.
"In that situation, with him, it is." she answered.
Her response surprised me as if she unconsciously just told me that it would be a possibility if it were someone else, and not the old guy. Or was she not saying that and it was just the way that she worded it? I guessed that I was 10 years older than Elaine but I looked young and I thought that I was much different than what I envisioned the old guy looking like. "Well Elaine, I could offer you a room at my house. It isn't large but there is more than enough space." I told her.
"Really?" she said perking up, "I might be interested in that."
And I could see her energy and demeanour had an obvious lift. I thought that I would leave the 'physical requirement' out of the conversation for now. "When could you show it to me?" she asked.
"How about later today?" I casually offered.
"That would work good for me. Dave is becoming more belligerent by the minute. He's just mean. It's like I never knew him." she said, obviously stressed.
I could see that she was a little more upbeat for the rest of the shift and we spoke briefly at shift end about what time she should come over and my address. So later in the day I had taken a nap and set the alarm for 15 minutes before her expected arrival time. She showed up about five minutes after our agreed-upon time saying that she had taken a wrong turn and so on. I had told her that it was no big deal but she kept talking about it for a few minutes.
I showed her through the house and explained some things to her. She seemed to really like the place and liked that there was a main bathroom, ensuite bathrooms for each of the 2 bedrooms, and a fenced back yard.
"Can I get my dog from the car?" she asked.
"Sure!" I said.
So she went to her car and brought the dog in.
"Kevin, this is Ace." she introduced. The dog was really nice...friendly and well-behaved black Lab. Pretty much fit to a 'T' her lengthy descriptions at work. I knew that Elaine was really into her dog and would have spent a lot of time with him training as she had told me some training stories as well. After 15 more minutes or so she thanked me and left.
I felt bad for Elaine and I wanted to help her but I also had carnal thoughts about her and although I thought that what her boyfriend did was terrible, I could not help but think that I would like to have a situation with her, in which I had control and she was obligated to me. Thinking about it made my cock swell. The next day at work she was very much like her energetic self prior to the blowout with her boyfriend. When no one else was around, she said "So Kevin, do you want to rent me that room?"
