MidReal Story
Tempted by My Mom’s Friend
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.
"Have fun with Veronica."
I watched as they drove off into the distance, waving until I could no longer see their car.
Then I turned back to the house and saw Veronica watching me from the window.
She had on a tight blue sweater and a pair of black jeans, her striking blue hair in a bun on her head.
She was beautiful, and when she caught me looking at her, she smiled seductively at me.
I turned my head quickly, feeling my cheeks blush.
Why did I feel like I had done something wrong?
Veronica was just a friend of my mom's, and she had agreed to look after me while they were away on vacation.
I stepped inside, closing the door behind me as Veronica walked toward me.
She reached out and touched my arm, her fingers trailing down to my wrist.
My heart was pounding in my chest as she guided me over to the couch and sat down beside me.
The TV droned in the background, but I didn't pay any attention to it as Veronica leaned forward, asking me about school, my friends, if I was dating anyone.
Each question came with a slight lean forward, her knee brushing against mine on the couch.
When I told her I was single, she moved closer still, her thigh now pressed against mine.
The rough fabric of her jeans was a contrast to my bare leg.
I reached for the remote, trying to ignore the way her leg felt against mine.
The TV flickered to life, showing some reality dating show.
Veronica leaned back, stretching her arms above her head and making her sweater ride up.
"Do you watch this show?" she asked, her fingers playing with a strand of my hair.
I shook my head no, trying to focus on the screen as she twirled my curl around her finger.
The contestants on the show were arguing about something, but I couldn't pay attention to what they were saying.
All I could think about was Veronica's other hand sliding down to rest on my knee.
"Why are you so tense?" she asked softly, her voice almost a whisper.
"I just... I didn't expect this," I replied, my voice barely audible.
Veronica smiled, a knowing look in her eyes. "There's a lot you don't expect about me."
