“When’s Carl going to be home again?” Jim asked.
“He called last night. He won’t be home for another week and a half.” She replied, tipping her beer up and finishing it. She set the empty on the counter, pulled a second from the fridge, opened it, tipped it up and drained a third before she pulled from her lips.
“Damn girl!” Jim said.
“Yea well I have to do something.” Pam grumbled without elaborating.
Jim finished his beer, stepped over in front of her, set the empty on the counter then like before put a hand on each side of her and leaned in close as he asked,”Thought any more about who you’re going to have some fun with?”
“No…yes….I mean no! Aw….we shouldn’t…shouldn’t talk about this.” Pam stammered.
“Why not?” Jim asked in a low voice as he leaned forward, put his face close to her hair, breathing in the scent of her as he did.
“Because….because…Ellen…”Pam stammered her unfinished sentence.
“Hmmmm, does that mean you are thinking of me as someone to have fun with?”Jim whispered with his lips very close to her ear.
“No! I…aw….I’m just saying…Ellen wouldn’t understand us…aw..talking like that.”
“Well don’t tell her.”Jim whispered, his lips now touching her ear, then added,”My you do smell good. And you look so damned scrumptious in those leggings and tank top. They show off your fabulous bits really well.”
He thought he heard a soft almost imperceptible moan come from her. He was about to say more, but her cell phone, which was sitting on a table in the hall, began to ring. Pam jumped, then pushed his arm out of the way as she ran to answer it. Jim followed and saw she was talking to someone.
He knew he wasn’t going to get a chance that day to continue with his seduction, so he said softly so the party on the other end of the line couldn’t hear,” I’ll go. I’ll be over tomorrow around midday to mow your lawn.”
Pam locked eyes with him and nodded. Jim grinned at her, returning her nod as he left. All evening he thought about Pam, wondering if he pressed her, would she? Ellen had told him earlier in the week she was going shopping with friends on Saturday and wouldn’t be home until early evening. He decided if he got the chance the next day he was going to press Pam a little harder to see if he had a chance of getting into her panties. The way she had acted so far, he thought he just might.
The next day Jim worked on his own yard until 11:30 then went over and mowed Pam’s lawn. He was sweaty so he jumped in the shower before he walked over to talk to Pam. He knocked, then waited. There was no answer. He knew Pam was home because her car was in the driveway. He knocked again, then again, but no answer. He knocked once more, by now knowing she was intentionally not answering the door. He waited for a few moments then turned to go home. As he did the door swung open. As he caught sight of her he saw she was barefoot, again dressed in a pair of leggings and a tight tank top.
“Hi.” He greeted her, his eyes sliding up and down her body,”I got your lawn all mowed.”
