“Yes, we’re seeing each other. I’ll do what I can to prevent pissing you off so you don’t leave your nanny job, but it seems pointless to pretend we don’t want to be together, doesn’t it?”
“It does seem pointless. So what’s next?”
“Let’s just take it one day at a time. My mother went to AA a few years ago, and taking it one day at a time is big at our house. You can plan for the future by setting goals, but anything else, you focus on the day you’re in. Nothing more, nothing less.”
“That’s a great plan. So we only plan for today?”
“Right. Just today. We’re here at the beach. My long-term goal is to get into my apartment without causing too much stress. Then once I’m in there, out of my folks’ place, I can plan what my next step with you is going to be. I just know I don’t want to do it while I’m hiding from mommy and daddy.”
“Oh god, that sounds so awful,” she said, laughing.
“My brothers have all gone through the same thing, only they moved in with women whose tolerance for Roberta might have worn thin. Now that I’m leaving, I feel sorry for my younger brothers. My dad will suffocate them with love.”
“That’s where you get being a good father from.”
She angled her chair to put her feet up on an empty chair across from her, and Leon grabbed her ankles and put them on his lap. While they talked, he rubbed her feet and ankles, and slowly, unconsciously, his hands moved up her leg, working under her jeans.
“Your legs are muscular,” he said matter-of-factly, contradicting the fact that touching her had sent a surge of heat to his groin, and nothing he was going to do would hide his growing desire for her.
“It’s from running,” she said. “I’ve seen your legs. They’re pretty impressive.”
“Lugging around the fire hoses is a good workout,” he said, sticking a leg out for her to squeeze.
“Yes, they’re hard,” she said, winking at him. “I don’t have the body of, how old are you again? Twenty-three? I don’t have a twenty-three-year-old’s body, Leon.”
“I saw your neighbor’s photo. Your body is wonderful.”
“Oh god, you saw that thing? Why? You’re as bad as the rest of the men in this town.”
“I couldn’t resist. I wanted to see your boobs.”
She laughed, shaking her head. “You could have just asked to see them.”
“Show me,” he said, ready to jump her.
Pulling her legs off his lap, she grabbed his hand. “Come inside with me.”
Grinning, he followed her to the empty bedroom.
“Sit,” she said, pointing to the bed. He did as she requested.
Standing in front of him, she pulled her shirt over her head, holding her arms out at her sides. “Well, what do you think?”
“I think you should take your bra off,” he said, pointing, unable to keep the tremor out of his voice. She was really beautiful; her hips were bigger when face-to-face with them, no shirt hiding her waist.
“Okay, but they don’t stay up like this without it. Are you ready for that?”
“Remember, I saw them.”
“Oh, right. I never thought I’d be grateful for a nude photo on the internet until now.”
She reached in back and unhooked the bra, slowly letting the straps fall until he couldn’t take it another second. “May I?”
“Yes, you might as well,” she said, and he pulled it off her body.
“You’re beautiful,” he murmured, standing up to embrace her, kissing her mouth.
Before she knew what happened, he was struggling to get her jeans off, gently pushing her onto the bed when she was naked.
