MidReal Story

Tempted by My Mom’s Friend

Jett Lover

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."

"See you later, sweetie," my mom said as she gave me one last hug before they left.

My parents were going to be on vacation for two weeks and they had asked their friend Veronica to house sit.

"Daddy," I called him as he opened the back door of the car.

He turned around with a smile on his face.

"Always, kiddo," he said as he opened his arms for a hug.

I ran into his embrace and he hugged me tightly.

"Take care of yourself and don’t be such a curious kitten," he whispered in my ear.

"I’m not!"

I gasped, outraged.

"I’ve got to go, baby," he said as he let me go and patted my cheek.

"Love you," I said, my voice barely above a whisper.

"Love you too," he said softly and turned to walk to the driver’s side.

"Love you both," I said a little louder so they could hear me.

My mom waved at me and blew a kiss in my direction before getting into the car.

They drove off and I stood there until I couldn’t see them anymore.

Turning, I walked back into the house and straight into the kitchen where Veronica was preparing something to eat.

I stood there near the entrance of the kitchen, watching her as she moved between the counter and stove.

She was humming softly as she chopped the vegetables and put them in a pan.

I could smell garlic and herbs and my mouth began to water.

I took a few steps into the kitchen and saw a pot of boiling water on the stove.

Veronica turned suddenly, pressing her body against mine as she reached for more ingredients.

She was wearing a black tank top that rode up high on her waist when she reached for something in the upper cabinet.

"Wait here and see," she said, placing her hand on my shoulder and guiding me toward the kitchen table.
