Desperate Housewives

[susan__32]

ABC is launching a new series "Desperate Housewives" this Sunday... I find the general idea very interesting.. and would love to explore the theme more broadly as a multi-thread SRP

I see the potential for a variety of characters...

I will play one housewife.. described below...

There could/should be at least one more housewife.. a best friend for my character.. and at least a handfull of male characters.. feel free to be creative...


If you wish to discuss themes or plot directions with me.. please send a PM...



Housewife #1: Susan McDermott, 38, blonde, blue eyes, full-figured, stay-at-home mother of two teenagers, husband Marc - 41, VP for research and development at a mid-sized software firm

Susan

It was the last day of freedom. The last day of school for the kids. From August to June each school year, Susan enjoyed the relative freedom that came with an empty home. With her husbands 12 hour work days, the kids school and after school activities, fall winter and spring were her time. Home alone from 7:15 am until nearly 7 pm most days, she had grown into a very private and enjoyable routine. Mornings were for self-pampering, midday for play, and afternoons for the more mundane activities of keeping a household running. But today, today was the darkest day of the year. The last day of school.

With luck, her oldest son would find a part time job, while her youngest would become involved, as usual, with sports. In any case.. her freedom would be limited for the next 10 weeks.. she will have to accept it, and adapt. As she always has.

None-the-less, it will be a long, boring summer.

Taking a final sip from her rapidly cooling coffee, Susan makes her way to the bathroom to run a deep tub of hot water. Nothing calms her nerves like an early morning soak...

 

[Skain]

Jack is new to the neighborhood, a handsome young man who made a quick fortune in tech stocks before the bottom dropped out. Rather than wasting it on too many luxuries, he's chosen to find a nice, quiet place in the suburbs. With his wealth and the fact that he can work from home, Jack spends most of his time home alone.

Today, Jack is clad fairly simply, a pair of jeans and a black t-shirt which clings tightly to his fit frame. He's always kept himself in shape, having something of a swimmer's build. His tousled blonde hair is still a bit boyish for a 27 year old, but it somehow suits his attitude. Deciding that it's time he meets his neighbor's he walks up the front steps, not realizing the woman whose home is getting ready for a bath. He's seen her once or twice on the street, a lovely woman, just a bit older but retaining the attractions of the fairer sex. Too bad she's married, he ponders to himself as he rings the doorbell...

Andy Mathews

"Damn!" Andy swore a blue streak even before the door swung shut locking him out. He lunged for it only to slip and scrape his knee on the concrete porch. "Double Damn!" he sowre again and slumped dejectedly down on the first step. He wiped the sweat from his brow and pushed back his black curly hair. Inside on the coffee table were the keys to his new house outside, it was 90 degrees in the shade. " Oh well, he told himself He'd just have to call the real estate agent and have them bring around another set of keys. In the mean time he'd find an air conditioned bar and indulge in a beer or two. He pulled his lanky 6'1" 190lb 42 year old body up off the porch and headed for his car parked in the driveway still half full of clothes, and groceries. his cellphone was in his car No problem. In a couple of hours the moving van would be here with his furniture. Hoping those keys would be here by then. He impatiently yanked at the cardoor handle only to find it locked too. He reached in his pockets for his car keys only to find all of them empty. "Shit," He swore having a vision of his pants in the bedroom floor with his keys and billfold still in them after he had changed into a pair of shorts 'cause it was so damn hot.

"What the hell was he going to do now." he thought The pay phone on the corner was useless without some change or his calling card on his body. His locked car was useless without keys. He had one other choice. His best friend at work lived just a few blocks away He knew he was at work the guy never stopped working it seemed but his wife would be at home he thought He had told him hiswife was a stay athome mom they had two teenage kids that kept her busy. Andy had never met Mrs McDermot, but this was an emergency. He was sure his friend wouldn't mind he had only recently told him to stop by as they would be in the same neighborhood when Andy moved. He headed down the street. It was so damn hot and he took his time.

Jane

I was Susan's best friend. We did lots of things together. We shopped, lunched, and even went to the spa together. In the locker room I looked up while she was dressing and suddenly the friendship evolved into lust. I wanted her. My husband didnt take very good care of his manly duties, being too busy on the golf course or at his office.

Susan was lonely too. I knew I had to seduce her, but it was a perfect set-up.

I rang her on the telephone and asked if she coud go to lunch and to the spa this afternoon

 

[slowandeasy]

sorry

OOC: Sorry Skain I guess we posted at the same time. at any rate you were first with this character. I'll delete and start over with another choise as we can't be ringing Susans bell at the same time right now . (perhaps later, she'll have bells we can ring simultaneously)

Valerie

Val and Drew, short for Andrew, have lived in the neighborhood for five years now. We have been married for fifteen years. I was 20 when Drew asked me to marry him. A year after we signed the paper and tied the knot.
We met in the Emergency Room of the hospital I work at. I a nursing student and he was a rookie firefighter/ paramedic.
We look like Mutt and Jeff together, when we are together. He is 6'2" with olive skin dark hair and brown eyes. I am 5'0", blonde hair and blue eyes and pale cpmpared to him. I like working on my tan every chance I get with no lines if possible.
After I got my nursing drgree I continued on in the same position. I love the excitment of it all. We also tried to have children but after a few years we decided if it happens it happens. We still have none.
I have to say we had a better than average sex life. Drew has always called me "his little nymph". Always willing to do it anytime and most anywhere. We have even engaged with other couples before.
We moved into our dream house here five years ago. It has everything we wanted. Drew has his room with the big screen TV and surround sound. He loves his sports. My favorite things are the hot tub and pool in our rather private backyard.
We still have a pretty active sex life. We even hook up every once in a blue moon with another couple we met at one of the last swing parties we attended.A secret nobody in the neighborhood knowa. Real life has a way of getting in the way of things we enjoy. I work the day shift. Seven AM to 3:30PM if I get out on time. Most days it is later then that. Drew is now Captin and works nights mostly. So when I get home he is sleeping or off with his buddies someplace. Our time together is still fun but we don't have much of that. Not like we use to.

I know Sue McDermott. She lives down the street. We are not very close but we are friends. She is alone most of the time with her kids at school and her husband working. I know about being home alone. We did have coffee together the other day. She was not looking forward to the end of school.

Today I have off from work. I could not ask for more. The weather is just the way I like it. Hot. I got up and showered and then jumped into my bikini and then a white t-shirt and cut off jeans. My favorite way to dress in this kind of weather. While having my first cup of coffee the phone rang. It was Drew reminding me he had some sort of training to do and he would not be home until late. We exchanged " I love you's" and " See you later." I hung the phone up and finished my coffee. I did some general cleanup around the house. Not my favorite thing to do. I do enough to keep it looking clean.

My favorite place is working outside. Playing in the garden. Sitting by or in the hot tub or pool. Somedays I just enjoy sitting on the porch and taking in the activity around the neighborhood. Today I planned to wash my car. I bring out a bucket of hot soapy water and a huge sponge. I pull the hose from the side of the house to driveway in front. My cute little sports car needs the bath.

As I begin to wet my car down I see one of our newer neighbors walking down the street. He is pretty young but made some bucks in the tech stock market and got out brfore the bottom fell out. I watch as he walks up the front pathway to Susan's house. I smile to myself. I think he is handsome and his attire shows off his body. "Very nice" I think to myself.

While I soaped my car down. Leaning over the hood I herad from a few doors down. "Damn" then " Double Damn". I looked up to see a new face. The house still had the "SOLD" sign in front of it. The stranger had tried to keep the door from closing but only banged himself off the front step. He seemed pissed off but controled himself pretty well. If it had been Drew the whole area would have heard him swearing a blue streak. He sat on the step for a few minutes. Then he began to walk down the street. I began to spray the soap off the hood of my car as I watched. The cool spray from the hose felt good.
I thought to myself I]"It is a quiet area but there never seems to be a dull moment"[/I]

Link

Link was new to UPS, he was a delivery driver. He had been a former college football player whos dreams of playing pro didn't pan out. He was 25, tan and 6'5"and 250. He drove around the suburbia and notices how hot the women were. He wondered to himself if the old saying was true about lonely housewives?

 

[slowandeasy]

Andy , hot and sweaty

As Andy approached Marc McDermotts house he saw a young man on her porch ringing the bell. He stopped. It certainly wasn't Marc he was much younger and not dressed as a vip of the company they worked for, besides that why would he be ringing the bell (unless of course he had been so fooolish as to leave his keys inside the house. Andy had to chuckle at this thought but then pondered again about the stranger at the door He didn't appear to be a salesman or a repairman of some sort. he wasn't the mailman or the avon lady. Andy chuckled again and then wondered how he could be in such a good mood when he himself was in deep shit at the moment. Hmmm he thought maybe Mrs Mcdermott was having an affair behind Marcs back he did spend a lot of time at work and like they say when the cats away the mice will play.

Andy wasn't the kind to interfere with other peoples affairs so he turned and headed back toward the street.Mmaybe he'd sit for a while and come up with another idea. Suddenly he felt a coolness in the air and the fine spray of water on his sweating brow. He looked up at a cloudless sky and shook his head feeling again the cooling moisture in the air. "What the...?" he started to say and looking around was greeted by a most delightfull picture not more than ten feet from me partially obsured by the hedge was a young woman washing a car.

Suddenly the heat and the troubles that had plagued him disappeared as he gazed in wonder,
" What gorgeous curves , delighfull lines, I'd always wanted a beauty like her. If had the guts I'd dash right over there just to touch her run my hands over her beautiful body.. and...and.... "He thought, and then he turned his attention to the beauty washing the car he had been admiring.

The short petite blonde was a sight to behold as she moved her supple body rather eroticly involved in washing her car. Suddenly Andy was struck with other more personal feelings. " get a grip you old fool, Right now you don't need to complicate your life with carnal fantasies. You need a telephone! ".

He stepped around the hedge, scuffing his feet so that he wouldn't startle her with a sudden appearance. Being carefull not to get in the way of her wayward hose ( although the water nmight feel quite good right then) he cleared his throat.

"Pardon me Ms. ...or... rather Mrs." He had seen her ring on the third finger of her left hand and knew she was married. "I seem to got myself caught between a rock and a hard place. If it isn't too much trouble, could I use your phone?"

 

[susan__32]

Susan

The tub filled, and Susan sliped the satin robe off her shoulders. Just as she was about to step into the steaming water, the doorbell rang.

"What in the world..." she thought, its just after 8 am.

As the sound of the door chimes faded, she had the awful thought that maybe something was wrong with the boys, or Marc. Grabing the robe, she slipped back into it and tied it lightly under her ample breasts...

Almost running to the front door, she opened it partway to find a stranger at the door. A young man, tall and attractive..

Susan blurted out "Yes? What is it?"

As his eyes moved up her body to find hers. She realized in her haste to get to the door, the belt of the robe had slipped, exposing a three inch wide stripe of flesh from her cleavage, across her slightly rounded tummy, down to the smooth mound between her thighs.

 

[Don/Deb]

Valerie

I am half way paying attention to what I am doing. I keep looking over towards Sue's house. I have seen other wives visiting her but this was different. At least for me. It was not the daily or even twice a day visit between her and Jane.

The younger of the two men fell from my sight as he walked up Sue's front pathway. I can only assume they know each other.

The newer neighbor, I guess he is anyway, stops on the sidewalk looking up to Sue's front door. Again I can only assume he knows her some how. He seemed like he knew what house he was heading for. After some hesitation he turns back from where he came.

Moving to the side of my car I begin to soap that area up. The cooling water feels good as it dribbles down my arms and legs.
The sound of a truck moving down the street catches my attention. The UPS guy again. As the truck moves past I see the same driver again. Young, very tall and built like a rock. I always thought he looked like a football player. The other thing I have noticed is he rarely stops anywhere. He just drives through at a moderate speed.

Looking through the windows of my car I see my stranger walking in my direction. I hope he has not seen me spying on him. I act like I have not seen him at all. Picking up the hose to spray the soap off before it dries under the sun. I let the spray of the hose bounce off the top of my car to the end of my driveway.

I hear him scuffing his feet as he avoids the water. I do not look up at first acting like I am totaly envolved in what I am doing.

"Pardon me Ms. ...or... rather Mrs." I hear him say.
I let the flow of water stop, looking up I think to myself nice smile
Looking into his eyes I ask " Can I help you?"
With a kind of sheepish voice the stranger spoke"I seem to got myself caught between a rock and a hard place. If it isn't too much trouble, could I use your phone?"
I had to hold back a little giggle. I did not let him know I saw what happened. Giving him a smile back I said " I can get my cell phone for you if you like." He agreed to that.
"Wait here or come up on the porch out of the sun while I get it for you" I said.

Placing the hose down carefully. I did not want to drop it and have the handel hit the ground and spraying us both, but it would have felt good. I walked up the couple of steps to the porch. I stopped at the front door to remove my soaking wet sneakers. I glanced over my shoulder, the stranger had not moved and his eyes were fixed on me. I walked into the house to find the phone. It is never where you think it should be. I saw my reflection in the living room mirror. I was glad I had my bathing suit on. My shirt was just wet enough to let it show through.

I find the phone on the kitchen counter right were I left it. I return to the front proch. The stranger had moved to one of the chairs there.

"Here you go" I say, handing him the phone.
I half listen to his conversation, but I know it will be a little wait before he is rescued.
He ends his call and hands the phone back to me. " Thank you so much" he said. " I had no idea what I was going to do" he continued as he got up from the chair as if to leave.

" You are very welcome" I said. Knowing he would have to wait I asked " Seems you will have a bit of time. Unless you have something to do you are more than welcome to wait here if you want?" " We can sit here on the porch or go out back under the cooler patio" "I have coffee made and Iced tea or something stronger if you like, but it is a little early for me for that."

Reaching my hand to his I say " By the way I am Valerie"

 

[slowandeasy]

“Iced tea would be great.” Andy said trying to make the best of a situation that in some ways had gone from bad to worse. "My name is Andy and you have no idea how glad I am to meet you, Valerie.”

Andy smiled in spite the news he had received on the phone. The Realtor had told him it would be at least two hours before he could get someone over to Andy's new house, with another set of keys and that if the movers weren't called and they arrived to find no one around to open up it would be another two hundred bucks for a no show.. If I call them now we can reschedule for tomorrow. "It might be best if you go back to your apartment and sleep there tonight, start fresh in the morning.” the Realtor had told him.

Go back to my apartment! There’s no furniture there either and did you forget, you have the apartment keys”.

“Guess I do.” the Realtor admitted, Maybe you can hole up in a hotel for the night, cheaper than paying the extra two hundred.”

"OK,. but open the house for me today I've got groceries getting warm in my car."

“Will do, give me a couple of hours, find a bar have a couple of beers, if your not there I’ll just unlock and let you get there when you can.”

“Thanks," Andy had said reluctantly, One or two beers in the condition his mind was in would just what he didn’t need. He didn’t bother to tell him about the keys to his car being locked in the house too. Things were complicated enough already, he had just hung up.

Now with the prospect of a nice cool glass of iced tea and the company of a cute blonde named
Valerie, he thought he might just enjoy the wait.

He had noticed before she went into the house that her t- shirt was wet and that she was wearing a bikini underneath, her pert nipples jutting hard against the soft material. "Probably from the cold water," Andy reasoned. Her tight jeans as she bent over to take off her sneakers revealed no panty lines , obviously she was wearing bikini bottoms also. Maybe she was getting ready to do some sunbathing in back.

“Look Val.” he said, when she returned with two frosty cold glasses. I don’t want to interrupt your plans but I’ve got a couple of hours to kill.” Maybe I could help you wash your car.”

He told her about his mishap down to the last detail she just seemed like the kind of gal one could be up front and honest with. He added that he worked with her neighbor Marc McDermott and that even though he knew he wasn’t home he was hoping Marc’s wife or kids might be but when he saw the young fellow ahead of him thought he might be interrupting something private and backed away.

Andy pointed toward the McDermott house as he was speaking, and got suddenly very silent. The young man he had seen earlier was standing stock still like a statue. His eyes fixed on the open door. In the door way Mrs. McDermott stood. Andy recognized her by the photos her husband kept on his desk at work.. The photos on the desk however were much less revealing than Mrs. McDermott was at this moment. She was wearing a robe which was open in the front revealing the generously rounded edges of two ample breasts, her soft stomach and further down... her smooth mound between her thighs.

Andy looked quickly away, embarrassed to be seeing such a view in the company of a woman he had just met. "Maybe we should go in the back yard." he said quickly, not wanting to have her see what he was seeing but realizing it might be too late as Valerie was staring too.

 

[Don/Deb]

Valerie

"My name is Andy and you have no idea how glad I am to meet you, Valerie” as he took my hand into his and smiled.

Nice hands.......I thought to myself.

Smiling back at Andy, still holding his hand " nice to meet you Andy"
"So would you like something cold to drink Andy?"
“Iced tea would be great” he said.

"Wait one minute and I will get us some" I said, turning to go back into the house. As the screen door closed behind me, again I catch Andy watching me.

Returning with the drinks I hand one to Andy and then I take a seat in the lounge chair next to his. I watch as Andy takes one long drink from the tall glass. Then with a semi serious look on his face he says “Look Val.” "I don’t want to interrupt your plans but I’ve got a couple of hours to kill.”"Maybe I could help you wash your car.”

" Don't worry Andy. I have no major plans for the day. I just do things as the mood hits me." " The car can wait a little while" I told him. Then taking some of my iced tea.

Andy told me about his mishap with his keys. We both laughed as he told me his story. I did not let on that I saw what happened. I did not want to embarrass him.
Then he went on to say he works with Sue's husband.
I was right ...I thought....he did know what house to go to.

He said he decided not to go to the front door when he saw the young man there.
" He is new here also" I told him. " I have not met him but I under stand he made it big with Tech stocks."
Andy continued the conversation when all of a sudden he became silent.
I looked up to see what he was looking at. From up on the porch we can see Sue's front door. In the doorway was Sue, standing in her bathrobe that was not exactly closed. I remembered once when I made a surprise visit to her she answered the door in a similar manner. That is just her. Always in a rush it seems. I figured thats what happened again. Never thought of Sue as a person who would cheat on her husband. But!
" Oh my god" I said under my breath not wanting Andy to hear.
I saw his face turn a little red but he did not turn away right away.

When he did look back to me he said "Maybe we should go in the back yard."

We both laughed and moved to the pool deck in the backyard. We sat next to each other in lounge chairs.
Andy told me about his work and Sue's husband.
The sun grew stronger. I could feel the moisture on my skin under my shirt.
" Hope you don't mind if I sit here in my bathing suit?" I asked him.
Andy did not mind at all. I pulled my t shirt over my head and placed it on the back of the chair. Then the shorts, pushing them over my hips and butt and kicking them into my chair. " Thats much better" I said as I adjusted the back of my bottom.

" Before I sit would you like more tea?"

The answer was yes.

I returned with fresh tea and then laid back in my chair. I was surprised to see Andy had taken off his shirt. I have to admit he looked good.

I told him all about Drew and myself.

The sun was beating down. I placed my glass along my forehead and drops of moisture from it dripped on my chest. The water rolled between my breasts and under the top to my suit.

"I don't know about you, but I need a dip in the pool" I said while standing up. I bent across my chair to place my glass on the table. I had to adjust the bottoms again since they kept riding up.

" You going to join me?" I asked as I took a running leap into the deep end.
