I was the accountant, I didn’t much care who the people were, I only cared that they paid their rent. So when the girl came to the office asking for a key, I had no idea who she was. “My mom’s supposed to be home,” she told me, “But sometimes she forgets. She won’t let me have a key.” I tried not to look at her strangely, but she looked quite old enough to me. If she was old enough to stay alone, she was old enough for a key. I got her name and went to check the files to make sure she actually lived there. She did, apartment 7007, just her and her mother. I saw her age too - she was plenty old enough - although she still did have a bit of the little girl look to her. “Bring it right back,” I warned her. “It’s the only spare we have.” She smiled sweetly and said okay. As she left, I rolled my eyes in annoyance. I hated when the leasing agent was out of the office. It was so much easier to stay back in my office and deal with the numbers. They never interrupted, they never argued, they never talked back or asked for keys. Fifteen minutes passed before she returned. She’d changed clothes, now wearing tight jean shorts, a cut-off t-shirt that showed her bellybutton and several inches of tanned skin above it, and flipflops. Still annoying but kinda cute. I’d never been interested in women in a sexual way - no one would ever call me a dyke - but for some reason, I did find the female form to be very beautiful. I’d much rather look at a slim, toned female naked than a naked man. It used to bother me until I finally realized what the attraction was all about. I didn’t want to fuck these beautiful young women, I wanted to BE that young and beautiful again. Here I was pushing 30 and looking at her long, smooth legs and tiny breasts pushing against the tight t-shirt, and I felt like her grandmother. She had come to my back office to bring the key and she started looking at all the pictures I had on my long file cabinet. Mostly there were of my niece and nephew but there were a few of me. One in front of a castle in Heidelberg, one on the beach in Hawaii, one with some of my friend on the strip in Vegas, and my chilling favorite, one of the escalator in the atrium of the World Trade Center. I liked to go places. First she asked me if those were my kids. I said no. Then if I was married. I said no. Then if I wanted to be. I said no. Then why not. I wanted to scream at her to go away because I was trying to work. I didn’t want to be rude to her, so I bit my tongue on the retort, although I did say, “You ask too many questions.” She didn’t take that wrong at all. She turned and gave me one of the sweetest, most innocent smiles I’d ever seen. I couldn’t help but smile back ruefully. “J. Richards,” she commented, running a finger across the top of the name plate that sat on my desk. A long slender finger, hot pink nail polish chipped carelessly. “What’s the J stand for?” “Jamie,” I answered. “That’s pretty,” she said, continuing her help-yourself tour of my office. “What do you do?” she made it around behind my chair and leaned on my shoulder, looking at my computer screen. “Besides answering your annoying questions?” I teased. “Yes,” she said seriously, propping one elbow on each of my shoulders. “I’m the accountant,” I told her, shrugging her out of my personal space. I didn’t like to be touched by strangers. She moved away just a little without apology and leaned over my desk beside me, flipping through my rolodex. “Don’t you have something to do?” I hinted. “No,” she answered. I reached over and pushed her hands off my things. With only a hand gesture, I motioned for her to go back to the civilian side of my desk. “When’s your mom coming home?” She shrugged and slide down into the arm chair, her long dark hair tossed back over her shoulders. “I never know. If she gets drunk, I might not see her till tomorrow.” “Shouldn’t you be at home?” I tried one final time. Her face looked suddenly sad and hopeful at the same instance, now apologetic for bugging the crap out of me but afraid to stop. “She never got the electricity turned on in our apartment and it’s going to get dark in a little while, and it’s a brand new place and I don’t know anyone in this whole town and...” For the first time, she really looked like the scared, lonely child I’d thought she was, needing someone to take care of her. Even I couldn’t be that mean. I stayed thirty minutes late that first day, until she saw her mom drive in. That night, I thought about her a lot. After I’d stopped trying to get rid of her, she actually turned out to be decent company. It became a regular thing every day that first week. She came earlier and stayed later. She was just very lonely and I learned that her mom was a full-blown alcoholic and sometimes hit her, they rarely stayed in one place more than a few months, she had no idea who her father was, and she hated boys because one had raped her a year ago. She’d tried to tell her mother about it but her mother had just slapped her and told her not to go around asking for it. That was the first time I touched her. She tried very hard not to when she told me, but she cried a little and I offered her a hug. She came around my desk in a hurry and sat across my knees. I was glad the office was already closed because that felt really awkward. It was so strange that as beautiful as she was, she was so starved for attention and affection. She tucked her head under my chin and put both arms around my neck. Her hair was so soft and so fine that it tickled my nose, and she smelled like baby powder. I let my hands slide up and down her sides as I held her, meaning it to be just a comforting touch, but I was suddenly appalled to find myself getting wet as I touched her incredibly warm skin. I stiffened and it broke the moment. She started to climb off my lap but before she turned away, she kissed me very gently on the lips. I tried not to show any reaction, but I felt cold chills break out all over me. Trying to throw off the general weirdness, I sat her on her feet, cleared my throat and asked her if she’d be okay during the weekend. She shrugged, “I guess so. Momma will either be home and drink till she goes to sleep, or she’ll stay out all night and go home with someone.” “Will you be okay by yourself? You have food in the house?” She’d told me two days ago they finally had the electricity on. “I’ll be okay,” she said, looking unhappy. “I’ve done it alot.” “Then what’s wrong?” She smiled shyly, “I wish I could come stay with you.” “Uh...” I started, not knowing how to answer that. All kinds of feelings bombarded me. Some selfish (No! stay out of my house!), some altruistic (poor thing, all alone like that), and some downright immoral (Damn! her skin is so soft!) “I know,” she answered for me, “You can’t.” On a probably stupid whim, I wrote my number on a sticky note and gave it to her. “If your mom goes out, tell her to call me and you can come hang out with me, ok?” She brightened like sunshine coming from behind a cloud and agreed. “But your mother has to say it’s ok,” I reminded her. Friday evening, I really expected her to call. I couldn’t believe that I was actually nervous, like a teenager on a first date. I had to get my mind out of the gutter and back to real life. My German shepherd and I watched movies half the night and shared a bucket of popcorn. Saturday was a normal day. I went running for an hour on our backstreets, then came home and cleaned house and did the laundry. I put the dog out in the backyard so I could get a shower and head off to buy some groceries. After undressing, I caught a glimpse of myself in the full length mirror on the back of my closet door and I stopped to look. In only a few months, I’d be thirty. I didn’t feel thirty. I really don’t think I looked thirty. Nothing was sagging yet, I noted with relief, not in the front or the back. I didn’t seem to have trouble getting dates. That’s how I traveled so much, I never tied myself down to one person. My body was still nice, but I couldn’t help but imagine how I would look standing next to Angie. Yeah, that was her name. I rarely thought of her as anything but “her” but I said her name again, liking the quiet, unassuming way it rolled off my tongue. I really was curious to know what she looked like naked, although I had no right to be. It was just that her breasts were so small, so high, and the nipples got so hard that they showed clearly beneath the t-shirts she liked to wear. Did she shave between her legs, or trim it close? Was it very dark and fine like the soft hair on her head? Yeah, I’ve seen women naked before, at the gym especially, but a person wasn't supposed to stare, it was considered rude. I wanted to stare at Angie. Dammit, while I was confessing, I might as well tell it all. I wanted to do more than stare. I wanted to explore that perfect young body! I wanted to touch it, not only to see how it felt to my fingers, but to see how it responded to my touch. Nearly frantic, I lay back on my bed and spread my legs. I was so wet just thinking about her that it only took three or four strokes against my clit before I arched my back in a powerful orgasm, wildly wondering how Angie would look as she came. I fell back and panted, staring at the ceiling, deeply ashamed at myself for those kinds of thoughts. Okay, I had them, they passed, onto reality once more. The phone was ringing when I turned off the shower and I jumped guiltily, a kid caught with my hand in a cookie jar. I wrapped a big towel around myself and grabbed the extension by my bed. “Jamie?” It was her. “Yes?” “Mom’s going out. She said you could babysit me but she wasn’t going to pay for it.” This was said with deep sarcasm. “I was supposed to talk to her, remember?” “She said if you come get me now, you can talk to her but she is leaving in thirty minutes.” “Tell her I’ll be right there.” I only lived about three minutes from the complex. I tugged on some jogging shorts, a long t-shirt, and ran a comb through my dripping hair. I really wanted to meet this asshole of a mother I’d heard so much about. She was standing impatiently beside her care when I pulled in. A red-head - natural or otherwise, I couldn’t be sure - she had a look on her craggy face like she ate dill pickles all day. She wore enough make-up for all three of us and she was dressed in a leather skirt short and tight enough that I could’ve counted butt hairs if I’d been so inclined. “You this Jamie person?” she said in a cigaretty growl just dripping with culture. Angie stood quietly by, seeming embarrassed. “Yes ma’am,” I said, trying to be cordial. I came closer and offered my hand but she looked at it like the flesh was rotting off. “You know I ain’t paying you to mind my brat, dontcha?” “Yes ma’am, I understand that. Angie is old enough not to need a babysitter.” She eyed me suspiciously and I suddenly felt like a bug under a microscope. A guilty bug. “Then why are you doing it?” In my best sympathetic voice, I answered, “Because she and I are friends. We’re just going to hang out so she won’t have to sit alone and be bored.” “You ain’t got no boys coming to your place, do ya? I don’t want the little bitch knocked up.” “No ma’am!” It was my turn to be indignant. “I would never let anything like that happen!” “Fine, then just bring her back in time for school and move out of my way so’s I can go.” Rushing off to her Jerry Springer appearance, I supposed, as I stepped back. When the old lady drove away, Angie apologized for her mother. “It’s okay,” I told her, “She’s her, you’re you, no reflection, no disgrace.” That clearly pleased her and may have been the first time she realized that could be true. “Get your clothes and come on.” On the way to the supermarket, we discussed what we would have for dinner. I found out that Angie’s only dinners at home were frozen. She didn’t know how to do anything put push buttons on a microwave. I’d been craving fettucine carbonara most of the week and it was a sure bet she’d never had that, so I got all the ingredients for that, some crusty French bread, stuff for salad and even pancake mix for breakfast. I felt so domestic. When we pulled into my driveway, she said she loved my house. It was a tiny little flat thing with thick green yards, shade trees in front and back and a fence to keep the dog in. Angie went to pet him and he jumped up against the fence, loving the attention. Inside, the living room and kitchen were combined into one big long room that ran the length of the original structure. A hallway opened to the back of the house with a small bedroom to the left and right and a bathroom in the center. I’d made the smaller left bedroom into an office. My splurge on the house was through the kitchen, out the door that used to be the back door. I had an extra large bedroom and bathroom added after I bought the place. It was low-ceilinged with dark pine paneling and I called it my bat cave. I could sleep in there better than anywhere I’d even lived. And my bathroom had a huge garden tub, big enough to swim in. I put the groceries away while Angie gave my house the same thorough examination she’d given my office. She found the video games right away and insisted we play. We blew the whole afternoon and most of the evening on that. After dinner, she picked out a movie for us. I sat on the couch and to my surprise, she curled up next to me, pulling my arm around her shoulder and putting her head on my chest. I tried to make myself relax and think only thoughts of how much she needed genuine affection. To taint it with any ulterior motive would be cheating her. As the movie progressed and it neared 11pm, Angie gradually slid lower and lower until her head rested on my leg. I absently stroked her baby-fine hair until I realized she was asleep. I’d intended for her to use the guest bedroom but I just stood up gently, replaced my leg with a pillow, and covered her with a light blanket. I left the hall bath light on for her and I went to bed. Her scent was all over me. “Jamie?” a soft voice woke me in the darkness. The digital clock said 4:15. “What?” I called, not sure where she was. “I had a bad dream,” she said, standing beside my bed. “I’m sorry,” I wasn’t sure what to say and I wasn’t awake enough to think straight. “Can I sleep with you?” she asked in her faint little girl voice. I guess I must’ve hesitated because she kinda whined “Please!” “Alright,” I sighed, suddenly wide awake for certain now. I slid over to the far side of the bed and lifted the covers. She crawled in quickly, under my raised arm, until her body was pressed against me. Her feet - like ice cubes - tangled with mine for warmth. I hadn’t meant to sleep quite this close, but what the hell. I wrapped her up in both my arms and she snuggled even more tightly to me. I could feel the small, hard breasts pushing into my softer ones. She dug her head in close to my neck and sighed peacefully. “Thank you,” she whispered. I was breathing in her hair again and I let my hands walk up and down her back. I said, “You’re welcome.” but what I really meant was “Thank YOU!” She went to sleep quickly but with this warm and unusual armful, it was a long time before I could. All I could think about was earlier in the day when I’d lain right here and masturbated thinking about touching her. The urge was overwhelming and I kept trying to think about anything else. It was more difficult when my stroking hands on her back tugged her shirt up so that I was touching the warm, silky skin now. I trailed my fingertips as high up her back, as low down her back, and as far around each side as I could go without disturbing her. I felt chill bumps rise on her skin beneath my touch and she murmured pleasantly in her sleep. I finally moaned in agony, grinding my damp thighs together. Sleep eventually came when I gave up and made myself think about work and counting rows of numbers. But I went to sleep still so wet that I could feel it squish when I moved. When I woke in the morning, I was lying on my back and Angie was curled up in the crook of my arm, her sleeping face on my chest. I’d slept this way many times myself, but always as the one with my head on a man’s chest. This felt really different. I’d seen last night that she was a heavy sleeper and I was able to disentangle myself without disturbing her. I ran a deep bubble bath and took a long soak. Halfway through, there was a knock on the bathroom door. I jumped, hardly expecting that at all. “Yes?” I called. I suppose she took that as “come in,” because she did. “Uh,” I stammered, unconsciously sinking a little lower into the bubbles. “Wow!” she cried, not noticing or not caring about my discomfort. “That looks so great! Can I come in too?” “Angie, it’s my bath,” I said flatly. “But it’s way big enough for two, just like a hot tub. Please Jamie, please! I love bubble baths, and I’ve never been in a hot tub.” I just stared at her, pure open innocence... what could it hurt? My better judgment deserted me like rats from a sinking ship. How could I say no to an opportunity like this? “Alright,” I sighed, drawing my feet up. “Yes!” she whispered mostly to herself. Without any self-consciousness, she flung her clothes out into my bedroom floor and stood an arms length from me in all her natural beauty. The sight of her took my breath. A small body, probably a late bloomer, as they call it, but already shapely. Tiny breasts the size of plums, pale nipples hard as little rocks now that they were exposed to the air. Her skin was flawless, tanned porcelain, smooth and unblemished from her face to her feet. Her arms and legs were thin but lean muscles were very clearly defined. Her tummy was flat, and she had a very fine, sparse growth of hair the same dark color at the juncture of her thighs. I believe that I actually stared long enough to make her giggle and blush. She quickly stepped into the other end of the tub and sank under the bubbles too, making the water level rise an inch or so. It disappointed me because I could see nothing below her neck now. We talked for a long time and got very comfortable. We had to run the hot water again for a little bit when it cooled down too much. Eventually I decided it was time to get out and make some breakfast. “Will you wash my back first?” she asked. “Okay, turn around.” She did with a minimum of sloshing. I brushed the wet ends of her hair over one shoulder and used the bathcloth to drip water over her shoulders and down her back then I soaped the cloth and very slowly began to rub her skin. I realized I was enjoying this very much. When it came time to rinse, I dropped the cloth and used my cupped hands to wash away the soap, running my palms and fingers over her neck, back, shoulders and arms. Her skin was pure silk and my touch again brought out chills. It was quite evident that I had gone far past rinsing. “Mmmmm,” she sighed, closing her eyes and leaning back against me. “I love when you touch me like that.” “I love touching you like this,” I admitted, moving my hands to the front of her arms, her neck, her face. “Touch everywhere,” she whispered shyly, arching her back just a bit, pushing back on me. “It feels so good.” I wasn’t sure if she meant exactly what I hoped she meant, but I went a little farther, moving my fingers down her arms, over her forearms and onto her flat tummy. My arms now pressed over her small breasts and even under the water, I could feel the nipples swell. All Need Touch Another breathy sigh and I was certain she was thinking what I was thinking. Damn the consequences, I was tired of beating around the bush. I slid my hands up, each palm dragging across an erect nipple. “Yes,” she breathed, almost as if she’d thought I would never get to this point. I cupped the tiny mounds, just feeling their shape and negligible weight. I’d never touched a woman like this before, I’d never even had a desire to do it, but there was something about Angie that begged for touch. She turned in the water now, opening her legs to straddle mine, facing me. Her arms went up around my neck and she kissed me hungrily. I circled her waist with my arms, pulling her hard against my body and I fed her my tongue, pushing it deep into her sweet mouth. She sucked on it eagerly, moaning into my mouth. Keeping her hands braced on my shoulders, Angie began to grind into me, as if to try and fuck me with something she didn’t possess. I laughed gently at her desperation and asked, “What is it you want to feel, little girl.” “Just you,” she said, her eyes half-lidded with her lust. “Touch me down there.” She was on her knees and I was able to cup her small ass cheeks and lift her up slightly. I teased her by pushing back harder against her, my pelvic bone rubbing her clit. Her breath quickened then and she might’ve cum if I’d let her. Instead, I moved my hands underneath her until both my middle fingers touched her fuzzy slit. They were puffy and much more slippery than just water could make them. I pulled her lips and exposed her clit more. She gasped and wiggled into my hand. I held her open that way and it was my turn to grind harder. She made the most wonderful little whimpers. Propping her on my thighs now, I moved my right hand until my fingers slid easily from her clit to her tight little asshole. As I stoked her clit, she started to pant and whine, digging her colored nails into my shoulders. Just as I knew she reached the point of no return - just as her orgasm began - I pressed my middle finger deep into her tight little pussy. It was mind-numbing, hearing her cries of pleasure just under my ear, feeling her muscles contract and squeeze my finger like a hot moist vice. I nearly came myself but I kept it at bay. I didn’t want to lose control right now, I was having too much fun. My finger fucked her just a little roughly and I suddenly had the urge to kiss her. With my other hand, I grabbed a fistful of her hair and tugged her head back. She screamed and the spasms on my finger actually grew stronger. I covered her mouth with mine and swallowed her cries. When it finally ended, she collapsed on my chest and I gently slid my finger out of her pussy. I held her tightly, bringing the warm water up to stream over her shivering shoulders, even though I knew she wasn’t trembling from cold. A few minutes later, I pushed her up and we got out. She seemed very quiet now, very subdued, very small and vulnerable. I was terrified that I’d gone too far. I dried her off and we went back to bed, where I lay and held her again, stroking her damp hair. “Talk to me,” I told her. “Did I push you too much?” She shook her head on my bare chest. “Then what’s wrong?” I demanded. “Nothing,” she whispered. “It felt so good that I’m afraid if I make too much noise, I’ll wake up and be at home with my momma again and this will all be a dream.” I breathed a sigh of relief and hugged her tightly. “I’ll always be here for you, sweetheart.” It would be nice to say she left her mom, came to stay with me and lived happily ever after, but that’s not how it went. She had to go home to momma and back to school, but she spent most weekends with me. I continued to touch her in every way she desired and I didn’t ask anything in return. I really wasn’t interested in having her touch me, I would cum later if I needed to. She was just a sponge needing the attention so much and it made me feel complete to give it to her. I helped her through those last months of high school, discovering that not only did she love to write, but she had a true talent for it. I put her in touch with the right people and she won herself a full scholarship in journalism out at UCLA. She moved out there and I went back to dating various men. I never had another desire to be with a woman, none of them seemed to interest me the way Angie did. This was eight years ago. Angie emails me every once in awhile, and the last time, she attached a picture of her husband, a bright young attorney. She got over her fear of guys. I like to think that some of our talks helped her with that. In the picture, her once-flat warm tummy was bulging with promise. She wanted it to be a girl and said she would name her Jamie. I smiled to myself, thinking that was very sweet. THE END
