I Will Be There by Bh76..,

Eric sat at the kitchen table in his family’s home. He was on summer break from college and was looking forward to a summer of shenanigans with his high school friends. The most of their gatherings would be in his own backyard, in the designed for entertaining area his parents created for their own social extravaganzas.

Kelly, his mom, set a plate of eggs and bacon in front of him which sent his ‘spidey senses’ tingling. His mom never made a breakfast like that. It was usually cereal or toasted bagels. She never wanted to be bothered with spending too much time in the kitchen in which she had to have all of the newest model appliances and conveniences.

“Okay, spill it, Mom,” Eric said as he lifted the fork to his mouth.

Kelly sighed, “Do you remember my friend from the old neighborhood, Julia?”

Eric nodded and thought, ‘How could I forget my mother’s hottest MILF friend?” She was the fuel for most of his fantasies when he masturbated.

Kelly continued, “Well, she just divorced her bastard husband for cheating on her one too many times. They have to sell the farm they bought when they moved all those years ago.”

Eric had a bad feeling about where the conversation was going. “Okay?” he prodded.

“Her ex is being a jerk and refuses to help her get the farm ready for sale. She needs someone to help clean out the barns, clear the fields, and help fix little odds and ends to make the house and outbuildings more appealing to potential buyers.”

Eric dropped his head and groaned, “You didn’t?”

“It’s just for a couple of weeks, Eric. She can’t afford to pay anybody to help.”

“I’m not even getting paid?” he growled.

“Your father and I will pay you,” she said. “We will give you $500 a week for however long it takes.”

That made Eric perk up. He thought, ‘What’s the longest it could take a couple of weeks? And I’ll get to be alone with Julia Hewitt?’

“I see that got you excited,” Kelly laughed.

“Alright, Mom. I’ll do it.” Then he had another memory of those days. “Mom, what about her daughter?”

Kelly smiled, “I thought you might remember her. Emily is in Spain on some kind of school exchange program or something. She won’t be home for the summer.”

He shrugged it off. He wasn’t that concerned about her after she broke off their contact, just curious.

“Okay,” he sighed. “When do I leave?”

“She’s expecting you tomorrow.”

“Tomorrow!” Eric shouted. “Mom, I haven’t had a chance to spend any time with my friends yet.”

“You’ll have plenty of time to fool around with your friends when you get back. It’s all the more reason to get the job done faster. And you’ll have more spending money.”

Eric nodded and set about finishing his breakfast. He wondered what other surprises his summer held for him.

Julia Hewitt opened her front door and walked out to the wrap around porch. She thought, ‘It’s gonna be a scorcher today,’ as she felt the humid air hit her skin. She hated the humidity of the Midwest summers. She longed to move back home to Arizona where she grew up. She never thought she would move to the Midwest until she met and fell in love with her ex-husband David.

She watched the trail of dust as the car approached her house. Happy that her friend Kelly came through for her, she couldn’t wait to get to work and hoped Eric was as dependable as Kelly promised.

When she saw Eric exit his car, she almost fell as her knees weakened. The first things she noticed were his muscular chest and arms in his tight white tank top. “Jesus,” she muttered as he grabbed a bag from the back seat and walked towards her. His eyes were what melted her the most. She was always a sucker for blue eyes and Eric’s were stunning, making her feel as she hadn’t felt since she first met David.

“Hello, Mrs. Hewitt,” he called out with a wave.

“Eric, it’s so good to see you again. What’s it been, five years?”

“Something like that,” he smiled as he took in the body of his former fantasy woman. He had to hide his lust as he looked her up and down in the summer dress she wore. She was still thin and with the exception of some aging, her face was exactly as he remembered. He silently thanked God her large breasts showed no signs of sagging.

She pulled him in for a hug and he relished the smell of berries from her shampoo. Her face tucked into his chest and her breasts pressed against his stomach. He hoped she didn’t feel the erection that was forming.

She did.

She smiled as she broke the hug and said, “Come in and get settled. I’ve set you up in Emily’s room since she won’t be home. It’s the only other room with a bed.”

“I can sleep on the couch. It’s no big deal. I don’t want to upset her.”

“Nonsense. She took all the stuff she cared about with her anyway.”

He nodded and watched her ass sway as he followed her into the house and up the stairs.

“I know you’re afraid this is some kind of ancient farmhouse with none of the modern conveniences, but I promise you’ll be comfortable here. As you can feel, we have central air-conditioning. The well pumps plenty of water for the showers, for which have a water softener and individual water heaters, as well. The best part of all is the hot tub. There’s nothing like relaxing tired muscles in that baby.”

She smiled as she pointed into a room. I walked in and saw a large space with nothing more than a bed, a desk, and a couple of dressers.

“I told you she took everything. She has an apartment at school, so she basically recreated her bedroom there. Her father surprised her with new furniture, so at least we have a place for you to sleep and some empty drawers to keep your things.”

“Thank you, it’ll be great,” Eric said as he set his bag onto the bed. He was surprised when the large cat who was asleep on the bed didn’t move.

“That’s Jarvis. He misses Emily and sleeps on her bed. I hope you aren’t allergic,” she was briefly embarrassed that she hadn’t asked her friend about that.

“Nope, I like cats just fine,” he said and scratched the comfy kitty’s neck.

“Perfect. I’ve got lunch for you whenever you’re ready, then I’ll give you a tour and a list of things we need to get done.” She walked over to him and touched his shoulder, “I can’t tell you how much I appreciate your help. You’re a lifesaver.”

He loved the feel of her fingers as they slid down his shoulder along his bicep, while she was shocked that she did something so forward, so unlike her. She chided herself as she left the room. ‘Control yourself, woman!’

Eric looked around and started opening drawers. Finding they were all empty, he picked the top two and tossed his clothes into their home for the next few weeks. Jarvis stretched and yawned as he took a look at his new roommate.

“Looks like it’s you and me buddy,” Eric said to the curious cat. “I hope you don’t take up too much of the bed.” He chuckled as the cat jumped down and scooted away.

“I hope you like ham and cheese,” Julia said as Eric walked into the kitchen.

“Yep,” he said and plopped into a chair.

“I asked your mom and she said you ate anything, but I did pick you up some of your favorite snacks and drinks.”
