Chapter 3
I stood by the rose bushes that separated our yard and looked at her, hearing her moan made my heart race as I stood watching her with just a pair of swimming trunks on. It was too hot for a shirt and I didn’t bother putting on any sandals.
“You must be having a good dream.” I chuckled, watching her jump at the sound of my voice.
“And what are you doing sneaking up on me like this?” She grinned at me, her recovery of being jumped was impressive.
“I wasn’t sneaking up on you, I was going to ask if you wanted to take a dip in the pool with me. I noticed that yours was down for repairs.” I gave it right back to her.
I was beginning to like Shelly more and more. The quick wittiness that she had when most women wouldn’t be able to handle the sarcasm that I dished out she was ready for it and with the snap of her tongue threw out just as much sarcasm.
I watched her lift her sunglasses and I was right, she had light blue eyes, blue eyes that took my breath away but I wasn’t going to let her know that.
“Are you seriously asking me if I want to go for a swim with you?” She sat up, she couldn’t tell if I was serious or not.
“Yes, I wouldn’t be standing here in this heat just to gawk at you in your bathing suit. Though I’m sure that’s what you’re thinking.” I grinned, taking my hands off my hips.
Her bikini was soaked with sweat but that didn’t turn me off. She looked sexy in the blue bikini that she was wearing.
“That would be great, oh and for the record, I don’t know if men look at me or not. I don’t concentrate on things that are usually a waste of my time.” She raised one eyebrow and made a face at me.
“You might want to hurry before I change my mind on the invite.” I threw my head back and laughed.
She laughed with me, she got my sense of humor and the biggest turn on for me, more of a turn on than the sexy moan I heard escape her mouth just a few minutes ago.
Shelly got up from her chair and just in time for her maid to come out. She was holding an ice water and handed it over to Shelly.
“Thank you, why don’t you take the rest of the day off. If you need me for anything I’ll be at Dean’s house right over here outback in the pool.” Shelly explained to her.
Looking at my watch I saw that it wasn’t even noon time yet. I could see that she had a sensitive, considerate side to her. I would never allow my help to take the rest of the day off. I was too secure with them, whenever I needed something they were right there. But it made me feel a little guilty about the way I acted because I barely said thank you while she did everything she could to make sure that her maid knew that she was grateful.
The maid smiled at her and nodded her head before she turned away, I couldn’t find anything sarcastic to say to her, knowing she would get me back and the statement that she would probably sting me.
“Ready?” I cleared my throat, I was already sweating and I just got out of the shower.
“Ready.” She nodded her head, instead of walking around to get to the driveway she found a small space between the bushes and walked right over without thinking about it.
I nodded my head and grinned at her, I turned my back and walked towards the backyard with her by my side. I was getting what I wanted, I told myself that I would get to know her better, it was a goal of mine. I wanted to talk with her and get to know her since the first day she moved in but it didn’t look like the right time, I could tell something was bothering her but never asked her because it wasn’t my business. If she wanted to talk she had a mouth and I had ears so I would be a good listening tool.
The back deck made a path down to the pool and when I saw her eyes I could tell she was impressed. They grew wide when she noticed just how big the pool was, not to mention I had a mini bar attached to the deck so that I wouldn’t have to go inside. I spoil myself a lot and that’s one of the things that I had built because I was too lazy to step inside for a drink when it was gorgeous outside and today was one of those days.
