It was my senior year in HS. I was looking at some colleges that were, well, not real far away, but yet, far enough that I wouldn't be home every weekend. One night, when Carla and I were having one of our long talks, I told her I almost didn't want to go to college. She asked why, and I told her I knew I would get homesick. We both knew that what I really meant was I would miss spending time at her place, but neither of us said it out loud. She gave me a hug, and said she would miss me also. But then she got that stern look and said I had to go to college, because she wasn't going to take care of me for the rest of my life. She could be a bitch when she had to be, and she knew this was one of those times. She said if I didn't go, she was going to put a lock on her door. Even though I would only be home about once a month, I knew it was better than being cut off totally, and besides that, I knew she was right. Eventually, I was going to have to take care of myself. That and I knew my parents wouldn't let me live with them forever either.
So, I loaded up my pickup and went to college that fall. I lived in the dorms, made lots of friends, went to a lot of parties, but always looked forward to going home to see my aunt. Then one day I got a call from her. She said she was coming to town to see one of her college friends (it was the same college where she and my mom attended, and she still had a friend that lived in town). I met her in my dorm lobby. She took me to her friend's house. Her friend was just a beautiful as my aunt. Of course fantasies started running through my head about the two of them sharing a room in college, but of course I knew that they were just that, fantasies. I knew my aunt was very interested in men. She had had more boyfriends than I could remember. Her friend, Staci, had just gotten divorced. That was why my aunt was in town, to help comfort her. She got the house in the divorce. Apparently, he was pretty well off, as it was a fairly nice house for a young couple. She couldn't have been much more than 30. Her and my Aunts situations were so similar, one would think they had planned the whole thing, and who knows, maybe they did.
My aunt was telling her how much she missed having me around, as I did all her yard work, shoveling her sidewalks, even getting me to other chores like wash the dishes and clean the bathroom and stuff. Staci said she would love to have someone around to do the yard work since her husband was gone. My aunt jumped at the chance to offer my services, knowing that I would be just as happy to work for her, as I was my aunt. At the time, I wasn't that excited, knowing that that I probably wouldn't be able to go into her closet like I did my aunts, and that after all, that was the reason for doing the chores in the first place. But, nonetheless, Staci was as hot as any girl I knew in college, and just the chance to get to hang out at her house once in a while would maybe help replace the feeling of not getting to spend time at my aunts like I used to.
