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."

I watched as my parents said their goodbyes before getting into the car and driving away.
They had left me in the care of their friend Veronica, a woman I didn't know very well.
I had met her a few times but that was it.
My parents had met her through work and seemed to think they could trust her.
"Come on now, Christine, let's get inside," Veronica said with a smile as she shut the front gate behind us.
I nodded and followed her into the house, watching as she locked the front door and then turned to face me.
Veronica was an attractive woman with striking blue hair that was up in a bun today.
She had a nice body that she showed off in the tiny skirt she was wearing.
I couldn't help but wonder if my dad had noticed it when he agreed to ask her to house sit.
"Would you like something to drink?"
"Yeah, water would be great," I replied, walking over to the kitchen.
Veronica followed closely behind me.
I opened the cabinet and reached for a glass but Veronica beat me to it.
She pulled out the glass and then leaned in close.
"Let me," she whispered, her breath warm against my ear.
I nodded and then watched as she walked over to the sink and filled the glass with water.
Her hip was pressed against the counter as she leaned forward and I could see down her shirt.
She was wearing a black bra that was visible over the top of her shirt.
Veronica turned back around and handed me the glass of water.
Her fingers lingered on mine for a bit longer than necessary before pulling away.
I took a sip, watching her over the rim of the glass as she leaned back against the counter.
The ice cubes clinked against each other as my hand shook slightly.
"Jack, I need to tell you something," Veronica said, her voice suddenly taking on a serious tone.
I set the glass down, my curiosity piqued.
"Your parents didn't just leave for work; they asked me to keep an eye on you because they suspect someone is watching the house."
I sat down at the kitchen counter, processing what she had just said.
That didn't make any sense.
My parents had never mentioned anything about feeling unsafe in the house before.
And they had left me home alone plenty of times.
"Why wouldn't they tell me?"
I asked, looking up at her.
Veronica shrugged and then reached into her bag that was sitting on the counter.
She pulled out a few bags of chips and then set them down on the counter.
"They didn't want to scare you," she said, still rummaging through her bag.
She pulled out a few bottles of soda and then set them down next to the chips.
"Besides, it's not like I'm going to be here for long. Just until they get back."
I nodded and then watched as Veronica opened one of the bottles of soda and took a sip.
She leaned back against the counter again, this time with her hip pressed against my arm.
"I'm going to go unpack my things," she said, smiling at me. "Okay," I replied, watching as she walked away from the kitchen.
I picked up my phone and pretended to check it but really I was texting my best friend Emily.
Emily: What's going on?
Me: Mom and dad left for work but they left Veronica here to watch me.
Emily: Who's Veronica?
Me: Mom's friend from work.
Emily: Why does she need to watch you?
Me: She said mom and dad think someone is watching the house but they didn't want to scare me so they didn't tell me.
Emily: That sounds weird...
Me: Yeah... I don't believe it either.
I set my phone down on the counter and then turned back around in my seat.
Veronica was standing in front of me now, her hand resting on my shoulder as she smiled down at me.
"Let's watch a movie together," she suggested, leaning in close to whisper in my ear again. I nodded and then stood up from my seat, trying not to brush against her body as I did so.
Veronica followed close behind me as we walked into the living room.
She sat down on the couch first and then patted the spot next to her for me to sit down in.
I sat down next to her, trying not to notice how close we were sitting or how much skin was showing from her shirt being so low cut.
"Let's pick a movie," Veronica said, reaching for the remote control that was sitting on the coffee table in front of us.
