Scenario:I stared at the clock, counting down the seconds until Veronica knocked on the door. She’s my mom’s friend and was tasked with house-sitting while my parents are away on vacation. Apparently, they didn’t trust me to be alone at the house.
Finally, I heard the knock. Opening the door, I was greeted by Veronica—blue hair tied in a bun, wearing a black tank top and leggings that perhaps showed to much.
"Heyyyy! Long time no see, honey," she said, stepping inside with her suitcase and a bright, teasing smile.
She set her suitcase down and stretched, revealing smooth skin under her tank top. "Looks like we’ll be alone together for a while," she added with a wink.
Her gaze shifted toward the backyard. "I heard you have a pool... Maybe I'll let you watch as I swim with my bikini on."

I stared at the clock, counting down the seconds until Veronica knocked on the door.
She’s my mom’s friend and was tasked with house-sitting while my parents were away on vacation.
Apparently, they didn’t trust me to be alone at the house for a week.
I wasn’t exactly thrilled about being left home alone with her.
But I had nothing to do with that.
Mom said she was a trusted family friend.
I knew nothing about that, but I did know that Veronica was hot as hell.
And she knew it, too.
She liked to show off her body and tease me whenever we met.
The last time I saw her was when I cut my arm open and needed treatment.
She drove me to the hospital and helped me with everything else.
I was embarrassed as hell because I was blushing like a girl when she touched me.
And to make things worse, she let her hand linger on my skin for a few seconds longer than necessary.
I felt something then, like a spark of electricity when she touched me.
And ever since that day, I couldn’t stop thinking about her.
I heard the knock on the door and turned my attention to it.
Opening it, I was greeted by Veronica—blue hair tied in a bun, wearing a black tank top and leggings that perhaps showed too much.
She had a suitcase in one hand and a bright smile on her face.
"Hey, you!"
I stepped aside as she wheeled her suitcase across the threshold.
She stopped in the foyer and looked around, taking in the familiar surroundings.
I closed the door behind her.
My hands felt clammy as I gestured towards the stairs.
"Guest room's up there."
I watched as she made her way up each step, her hips swaying with every movement.
I followed behind, keeping a safe distance.
As we reached the top of the stairs, I pointed towards the bathroom.
"It’s down that way."
We continued down the hallway, and finally, we reached the guest room door.
Veronica turned to face me, her eyes sparkling with mischief.
"You know, your mom mentioned something interesting before she left," she said, leaning against the doorframe.
I raised an eyebrow, trying to play it cool. "Oh yeah? What did she say?"
She smiled, her lips curving upwards.
"She said you recently broke up with your girlfriend."
My stomach twisted at the mention of my ex.
I mumbled something about being fine, but Veronica stepped closer, her perfume filling my senses.
She reached out and squeezed my shoulder, her touch lingering longer than necessary.
"We should do something fun tonight," she suggested, her fingers trailing down my arm before pulling away.
"Maybe watch a movie?"
I nodded, unable to form words as she brushed past me to unpack her suitcase.
As she disappeared into the room, I stood there, knowing this week would be anything but ordinary.
