Widow

[intriguess]

Margaret was an attractive woman at 35 and faced with the prospect of more years alone in her home decided to put hte house up for sale. She had bought it with her husband over ten years ago when they first got married. It was a beautiful four bedroom house, in a family oriented neighborhood, with a pool. After he died she hadn't been able to leave it and with the insurance money she had actually paid off the mortgage. That had been over five years ago and now the sight of all the happy families and children only made her remember what she didn't have.

Especially little Jeremy, who wasn't little anymore, he'd been a cute inquisitive 8 year old when they moved in and begged to use their pool. Now Jeremy had graduated High School was 18 and a man himself.

After Margaret put up the for sale sign she got offers almost immediately as well as neighbors coming over to try and talk her out of it. She had already found a little two bedroom place about a mile away and was determined to go through with it. So on the next to last lazy Saturday of July she planned to throw a good bye party.

She recalled how she and James used to have all the neighborhood kids over to use the pool one Saturday a month, after he died she had stopped for the Fall and managed to continue them when Spring came. She had watched children grow up, babies be born, and families grow. It was sad to be leaving, but it was sadder for her to live in a house meant for a family knowing that she'd probably never have one.

Margaret found a bikini among her clothes and with a laugh tried it on. It was Friday the party was tomorrow and for now the pool was hers alone. The dark turquoise suit looked good against her medium tan. Her body was still in good shape and she would retire the suit tomorrow she decided. She pulled her auburn hair back into a ponytail and headed out to the pool.



OOC so idea is that young Jeremy is rather lustful and either approaches her now, and offers to clean up after the party. Margaret is not going to be an easy lay, but Jeremy is persistant.

Jeremy

It was a lazy friday afternoon, and I was bored as hell after graduation. All my friends seemed to be doing something, and the neighborhood, with me included, were all trying to talk Margaret out of living. Having nothing to do in my own home, I decided to give it a shot myself.

I put on a pair of khaki shorts, and a sleeveless white shirt. I walked out of my house and walked across the street. I walked to her front door, and ringed the door bell.

I started thinking about Margaret. She was incredably sexy, even when I was still too young to think about girls, I found Margaret really hot. At some point in my teen age, I remember fantasysing about her. I shrugged, and continued to wait.

Margaret

She had just slid open the patio door when the doorbell rang. She glanced at a clock, "Who would be coming over at 2 in the afternoon?" Most of her neighbors were still at work and their kids at daycare. She found a towel and tossed it over her shoulder, covering some of herself as she headed for the door.

Margaret opened it to see little Jeremy, who she always had to remind herself wasn't little anymore. He was taller than she was and had that look of youthful invincibility. "Hey Jeremy, how are you?" She'd gone to his graduation and when people asked who she was there for there response had been either, 'I didn't know Jeremy had a sister' or 'How long have you been dating?' She pushed such thoughts to the back of her mind. "Please come on in, would you like something to drink?" she asked as she draped the towel over a chair, no longer concerned about how little her bikini covered. "I was just about to jump in the pool, nothing like a nice cool dip on a hot afternoon like this one."

She looked at him for a second and asked, "So what are you up to?"

 

[Kensuke]

I smiled when she opened the door, but my jaw nearly dropped when I saw what she was wearing. She then broke the silence.
"Hey Jeremy, how are you?"

"I'm doing alright Margaret." I didn't really want to ask her, all this must have been upsetting. She asked me to go on, and that I did.

"Would you like something to drink?"

"No thank you...I was just here to talk about..." I was interupted as she spoke again.

"I was just about to jump in the pool, nothing like a nice cool dip on a hot afternoon like this one."

Just the thought of seeing her swimming made my mouth water.

"So what are you up to?"

"I'm here.. To talk about your moving. Or to talk you out of it." I kinda smiled. "Why do you want to move out, Margaret?"

 

[intriguess]

Margaret

She gave him the same friendly smile she'd given everybody else, "This house is too big for me to live in all alone. I have a nursery I'll never use and two guest bedrooms and no guests." She sat down and cross her legs, "I guess I was holding on to the hope that someday I might have a family, but the time for that is past." She paused and revealed something she had not told the well meaning adults, "I haven't had a date in over a year and well this house was meant for a family." She smiled and continued, "Besides I already accepted an offer and have a new place all set up. You'll barely even know I'm gone you'll be so busy with college."

 

[Kensuke]

"I..uh..I will be visting in the weekends." I said. For what reason? I didn't know. It's not like she'd stay around for me. I smiled at her. "So you...were going for a swim?" I asked. With just the luck, I was already wearing my swim trunks. It had become a habit for me to wear them during summer.

"I haven't had a date in over a year."
For some reason, this kept ringing in my head, over and over.

 

[intriguess]

"Yes, I thought I'd enjoy the pool one last time on this hot summer day." She paused, "Would you care to join me?" Margaret said without thinking much about it. "After all you were one of the first kids we had over to swim in the pool, but you probably don't remember that." Her smile turned a little sad at the memory, "I can't imagine a nice looking kid like you coming home every weekend." She stood up and snagged the towel again, "I'm sure college girls will be all over you."

 

[Kensuke]

"Would you care to join me?"
"I'd love to." I hastilly said. I had my swim trunks on, and I was all ready to go.

"After all you were one of the first kids we had over to swim in the pool, but you probably don't remember that."
"Actually I do." I said. "Every bit of it." I remember seeing her in her swimming suit. That which got me to start fantasysing.

"I'm sure college girls will be all over you."
Maybe...Maybe I didn't want any college girls...? I thought as I looked at Margaret.

 

[intriguess]

Margaret smiled and headed out to the pool, she tossed the towel on a beach chair and dove into the deep end of the pool. She loved the feel of water against her skin. When she broke the surface of the water she felt the water droplets running along her golden skin. She smoothed back a few stray strands of hair and turned to look back at Jeremy. It was hard to believe this was the same little boy who had come over all the time, eaten cookies, and asked her for help on his math homework. She had seem him change so much over the years and seeing him now only made her resolve to move on and start anew stronger. She wanted to be able to see the world as he did, fresh new full of possibilities.

"The water is fantastic," she said as she treaded water and looked at him. "It's not like I'm dying Jeremy. I'll be back whenever I'm asked back."

 

[Kensuke]

I was already only in my swim trunks and I got in the pool slowly. The water was alittle cold for my tastes, but I always enjoyed a swim. I looked at Margaret, admiring her body.

"It's not like I'm dying Jeremy. I'll be back whenever I'm asked back."
"Yeah. I know. It's just not exactly gonna be the same without your pool parties." I swam towards her. "How I liked those." I said, with a confident voice.

 

[intriguess]

"Maintaining a pool just for me is rather silly," she headed to the edge and used it to just steady herself as she relaxed and straightened her body out on top of the water to float. "It's one thing to have neighborhood pool parties when you are planning on having kids. It's not the same anymore since," she closed her eyes, "I'll miss them too, but it'll be nice to have someone else hosting them."

 

[Kensuke]

"I don't think so. It was special because you hosted them." I said, approaching her more and more. There was something I wanted to do to Margaret for the longest time. And...This was my greatest oppurtunity.

 

[intriguess]

She smiled, her eyes still closed, "It was probably way cooler to have the young couple hosting them rather than someone parents. It was great having you kids around. I learned a lot by watching you grow up." The water felt so relaxing on her back, while the warm sun hit the top of her body. "It's just time for a change, after all even you won't live her forever."

 

[Kensuke]

"Well it depends..." I swam closer and closer. "...If I have the right motivation." I arrived right in front of her face.

 

[BarneyLS]

All of a sudden, I realised how beutiful her eyes are. How innocent they look, how dark her eylashes and the cute freckles on her face, and even more so the effect they had on me.

 

[intriguess]

She felt the water and heard the water knew he was approaching her and when she could feel his breath she opened her eyes. "You seem fairly motivated to me, then again I havne't seen you every day for the last few years of your life." She smiled that lazy it's a beautiful day you can't help but smile smile. "You seem to have grown up into a pretty responsible young man."

 

[Kensuke]

"And...you've grown more beautiful." I stated, admiring the sun shining off her wet body. I looked at her eyes. And quickly leaned in for a kiss.

 

[intriguess]

Margaret ducked under the water for a moment, "What do you think you're doing?" She asked flustered and shocked at his intentions. He couldn't possible want to, her mind was picturing it and she still couldn't believe it. She had swam off a little ways, "Are you sure you're feeling all right?" She was wondering if she had just imagined that moment when he had seemed like he was going to kiss her out of some hidden desire of her own.

 

[BarneyLS]

Jeremy

I span around in the water and swam a lazy circle around her. She had splashed off a few feet, needing some room. Play it cool play it cool, dont rush it... I had to remember to relax and be natural for a bit.

I glanced back at her to see what she was doing, the way her suit fitted so tightly, the way her curves where so great. How had she not had a date for so long? Perhaps she wasn't interested? Perhaps... no, keep cool.

 

[Kensuke]

"I'm feeling great, as a matter of fact." I said, with a cocky smile. "And you Margaret? How are you doing?" I said, approaching and still circling around her more and more.

 

[intriguess]

She had this strange feeling of being hunted, he seemed rather sharklike as he circled about her. Margaret tried to follow his movements as she treaded water, but he never remained still for long. "I think perhaps the heat is getting to me." Surely she was imagining the hungry gleam in his eye, reading more into the glances than was there. After all he was barely a man, and at times it was tough to think of him as such.

 

[Kensuke]

"No..it's not." I stated. I stopped circling around her, and I dove into the water. I swam towards her, and got back to the surface in front of her. I wiped the water from my eyes, and looked at her. "I've always wanted to do this, Margaret." Since puberty... I gave myself a mental laugh. I leaned in, and kissed her again.

 

[intriguess]

She was shocked, stunned, and surprised she didn't sink under water. She didn't resist but neither did she respond. "Jeremy," she almost called him by his first name but opted against sounding like she was scolding him, "What do you think you're doing?" Her heart was pounding and she could feel the blood pulsing under her skin. She wasn't sure what to say, it wasn't like she was some innocent school girl, but this was little Jeremy, not so little any more, her mind added and she stopped before she thought of what else might not be so little anymore.

 

[Kensuke]

I wasn't surprised that she was shocked, but I was surprised that she didn't stop the kiss. "I'm doing something, that I've always felt like doing.." I stated. "I'm no longer a child, Margaret." I smiled and went continued to float in front of her.

 

[intriguess]

"I guess I still think of you as that cute little boy who I hugged," the idea of hugging him now almost made her blush. She tried to laugh it off, "If only we all had the courage to do the things we always wanted to do."
