MidReal Story

Tempted by My Mom’s Friend

Brie

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."

My parents are going out of town for a few weeks and they're leaving me in the care of their friend Veronica.

I don't know her all that well, but my mom says she's a good person.

I can't help but wonder what she'll be like.

Will she be strict or lenient?

I guess time will tell.

Veronica arrives just as my parents are packing up their car.

"Hey sweetie," my mom says to me before giving me a kiss on the cheek.

"Sorry again that we can't take you with us," she says.

"It's okay mom, I know you and dad need this time together," I tell her.

My mom smiles and hugs me tight.

"We'll miss you, but I know you'll be in good hands with Veronica," she says.

"I promise to take good care of her," Veronica tells them.

My dad gives me a kiss on the cheek and a tight hug before he gets in the driver's seat and they're off.

I watch as they drive away, feeling a mix of emotions.

Excitement for this new adventure, sadness that my parents are leaving, and a bit of nervousness about what to expect.

Veronica comes over to where I'm standing and wraps an arm around my shoulders.

"Don't worry, I'll take good care of you," she tells me in a soothing voice.
