MidReal Story

Tempted by My Mom’s Friend

why

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 on my wall, counting down the seconds until Veronica would knock on the door.

My parents had left a few hours ago for their two-week vacation, leaving me in the care of their friend.

Apparently, they didn't trust me to be alone at home without supervision even though I was eighteen and technically an adult.

I'd been hearing about Veronica from my mom for as long as I could remember—how she grew up in a poor household with tons of siblings, how she moved out when she was sixteen and supported herself through high school and college.

Finally, I heard the knock.

"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 tried to hide my discomfort at her comment with a forced smile.

"Uh, yeah. We do have a pool."

She walked around the living room, touching the furniture and commenting on how nice everything looked.

I followed her, unsure of what to say or do.

She stopped in front of the mantle, where there was a photo of my family.

She laughed.

"Look at you all. So innocent," she said, shaking her head.

Then she turned to me, her eyes scanning me up and down.
