My best friend Jesse was waiting for me already in the deep end. Paula was working the lifeguard chair all covered up with her hat and sunglasses. She still looked good from where she was sitting and it didn’t hurt that she’d been dropping hints towards me about getting together since the pool opened for the season. Her head turned in this direction and she gave me a wave which I returned on the way to drop off my towel. It was a blistering hot day today and I couldn’t wait any longer to cool off in the water.
I went over near an unsuspecting Jesse and did a cannonball sending water flying everywhere. When I resurfaced, I was being tackled and splashing back and forth. Before I knew it I could hear the whistleblowing.
“Don’t make me come over there boys,” Paula called from the lifeguard stand with a smile.
We both stopped and waved back over to her. Just then we heard another whistle coming from the other end of the pool. I looked over and there she was. It was Kathy Kendrick in all her brunette glory walking in her swimsuit over to take her turn on top of the lifeguard chair. I was going to have a hard time looking at her the same way ever again. Trying not to stare too much and wiped the drool from my face. I turned back towards Jesse.
“Man she’s smoking hot,” Jesse said so only I could hear him.
“Tell me about it, dude. She’s got the total package.”
“I’d give my left nut to get her in the sack. I’ve heard it doesn’t take much if you’re the right kinda guy though.”
Just as I was about to say something in return I felt a soft pair of hands wrap around me from behind and a lithe body pressed up against me, breasts right up against my bare back through her suit. I thought for a second it might have been Kathy, but no chance that would happen.
“Hey there neighbor, miss me? I saw you checking me out up there.” She had wrapped her legs around me from behind.
“Paula, you always think I’m checking you out.”
“Because you are. But I don’t mind, actually, I kinda like it.”
As nice as it was to have a sexy woman all over me, all I could think of at that moment was Kathy from last night. I would try to get away from this steamy vixen as well as I could.
“I just don’t see you like that. You’re Camille’s little sister.”
“Oh please. I’m hotter than she ever was and you know it. It’s not like you guys dated. A couple of hookups isn’t dating.” She was right about that, she was nearly flawless looking with her long blonde locks, tanned skin, and perky breasts. She released me from behind and swam in front of me to continue talking. I also knew it would take very little to get her from her house and into my bed.
“You’re still her little sister. I don’t think your Dad would like me corrupting his other daughter.”
“I’m 18 now, so I don’t see the problem and I’m already plenty corrupted.”
“Well Happy Birthday to you,” with a sarcastic tone in my voice.
She just laughed it off, slapping me lightly on the arm.
Jesse piped in “We should go grab those beers now Will. I’m cooled off.”
“Sounds good man. Later Paula.”
“See ya later stud.”
****
“Hey Kathy, wait up.”
I’d caught her later the same night just as she was closing up the pool and leaving for the night. She’d locked the doors but there was still a light on inside which was unusual. We knew who each other was but hadn’t exchanged too many words over the years. Yet there we were in the middle of the small parking lot finally having a conversation.
“What can I do for you, Will?”
I was caught a little off guard by the businesslike manner by which she greeted me.
“Um, I think you left a light on inside.”
“There are still a couple of lifeguards finishing cleaning up. They will get it. Thanks,” She turned to continue walking to her car.
I didn’t know how to bring it up so I just blurted it out.
“I saw you last night.”
She stopped in her tracks, taking a moment to collect herself before turning back towards me and sauntering in my direction.
“What exactly do you think you saw?” Her one hand moved up to her hair and flipped it back over her shoulder with an amused grin on her face, like a cat playing with a mouse.
I stood my ground emboldened, believing I had control in this conversation. This ought to be an embarrassing situation for her.
“I don’t think I saw anything. I caught you and some random dude having sex on the picnic table at the bottom of the hill.”
“I knew I heard a noise up there. Bud told me I was paranoid,” she stated matter of factly. She closed the distance further until we were an arm’s length away. I averted my eyes from her powerful gaze, unsure where to focus them as I didn’t want her seeing me check her out, which I was using all my willpower not to do from this range. “Did you like what you saw, Will? Did it make you horny? Wish you could be that guy sliding his dick inside my wetness for all the world to see.”
By that point, I was in full blush, but I didn’t avert my eyes, I looked right back at her from up close when I replied.
“Yes. All of the above. But you already knew that before you asked.”
She laughed out loud, with a low haughty laugh. The kind you’d give when a small child says something amusing and inappropriate.
“I gotta admit you have more balls than I thought. Come with me, I want to show you something.”
Without waiting to see if I was following or not she headed back towards the pool entrance. Thinking I might have avoided the worst of the situation, I gamely followed behind her, keeping a wide berth. She took her keys out, unlocked the door, and turned the main entrance lights back on motioning for me to follow her inside. By this point, I was utterly confused with no idea what her plan was.
I entered the building to see her behind the reception counter at the back towards where the lifeguards’ private room was located. They would go inside and hang out when they weren’t out on the pool deck. She stood by the entrance to it, where the sole source of light that had been left on was coming from.
“Are you ready to see the tip of the iceberg? What goes on under everyone’s nose when they are just going about their everyday lives?”
I nodded my head in agreement with no idea what she was about to show me.
She flicked a switch on the wall and the opaque glassed-in opening showing into the lifeguard room became clear allowing us to see inside and boy did my eyes go wide open in a heartbeat. There on the couch parallel to the opening was a couple having sex. They were close enough so there was no doubt of who they were or what was happening. She was gleefully bouncing up and down on top of him. The room was soundproof, so we couldn’t hear anything.
“Don’t worry it’s one way only, they can’t see us.”
I stood there in stunned silence for what felt like minutes just watching them go at it like nobody was watching without a concern in the world, just focused on each other. Kathy was watching me with this perverse grin on her face, taking great pleasure from my discomfort.
“Is that Claire? I’m sure the mayor would be so proud.”
“That’s your problem Will. You think sex is something to be kept in the shadows. Some secret thing that should be done in a bed in a pitch-black room so nobody can see anything. Sex, lust, desire, it’s a beautiful thing. It’s messy, silly, sometimes funny, and always a touch ridiculous. That’s who we are as people. Look at those two. They’re having the time of their life just playing together and they know about this window. We all do. They know I could be watching or anybody really.”
