As they approached the Gastro-pun, Sophia changed her mood.....

"They do excellent burgers here......" she paused before she asksed as an after thought... "as well as veggie ones...."

Being a Monday evening, the place was relatively deserted, and they were able to get a seat in the shade of the cool breeze. Sophia allowed Melinda to sit down first before she sat opposite her...

"What would you like to drink? they do good ales here if your an ale drinker....."

Sophia stood up on hearing Melinda's order and headed to the bar, and returned with her own pint of ale, and Melinda's, placing it on the wooden table in front of her.

She sipped her own drink, looking at Melinda, and smiled....

"Has anyone ever told you you have lovely mysterious eyes?" Sophia asked in all honestly.

 

[BethJones]

Melinda was pleased they were able to sit outside, preferring dining in the open air. She requested a cider if they had them on tap having discovered teh delights of some of the draught ciders one summer whilst working away from home. Sadly she was yet to discover any cider that had lived up to those she had enjoyed back then.

She smiled as Sophia returned, carrying a pint of cider in a branded glass. Taking a sip, enjoying the flavour, still not like her first but well up there in terms of taste. The evening had already been filled with surprises and the cider was most definately a welcome one.

They continued to chat casually after placing their food order, Melinda finding a reasonably priced steak on the menu. She ordered the food and set up a tab at the bar to allow her to settle up at the end and order further drinks from the table. She often found she attracted unwelcome attention at pubs, unwelcome only due to her relationship.

The food arrived and was much better than expected, she joked over dinner that Sophia may be contributing to her picking up a few more pounds during her stay. She was intrigued by Sophia's comment about her eyes and and shook her head polietly, having never really being complimented in that way.

Sophia ordered her self a burger with bacon, but as usual she left the top bun, jking about her figure as she did so.

The conversations varied, about music, travels and the like, all light hearted. But Sophia was warming to Melinda despite there being an obvious age gap, but age was but a number.

As they finished their food, and their drinks, the September chill was upon them, as Sophia suggested they should continue inside.

As they entered the bar, there were a group of lads propping up the bar, whom Sophia had chatted to previously, but they were too laddish for her tastes, but they saw a 'new gal on the block' and started to try and chat her up...

Sophia watched as Melinda handled them well, her age and their maturity helping her. AS Sophia returned from a comfort break, she saw Melinda on her own, the lads finally giving up...

"Scared them off?" Sophia joked casually....... "I can see why they were interested though!" She smiled and winked at Melinda as she sipped her second pint.

 

[BethJones]

Melinda lauhged off the comment about understanding why the lads had been interested. She knew she was attractive but didn't see herself as attractive to others. She had dismissed the 'boys' polietly but with the clear message not to bother her. As far as she was concerned she had all she wanted at home.

She had ordered a half of cider, disappointed that her skill had not selected the best draught cider they had on offer, yet content to be getting anything half decent. She brought a second pint for Sophia, hoping she had selected that correctly.

They continued to chat at the table both enjoying being around each other. As Melinda finished her drink she excused herself heading for the toilets after Sophia had kindly pointed her in the correct direction. Feeling ready to return she spotted Sophia still nursing her pint and chose to settle up.

Whilst stood at the bar, the barman was trying his patter, which again was swiftly knocked back. However, the gentleman next to her made his play. Maybe the cider was stronger than she was used to, maybe she was just tired of the many advances, but this time she found herself engaging in flirty chat with the guy.

She knew she shouldn't but it seemed natural, a guy giving her attention, maybe she was missing Mike? The chatted for a little too long, leaving Melinda stood at the bar, attracting eyes from men all over the pub.

.

Sophia got her smart phone as Melinda excuse dher self, and replied to a couple of texts she had received that evening, for Sophia her smart phone was her tool for he rconvieniance, and not to be a slave to it.

She saw Melinda return an dhead to the bar. Moments later, DAvid started to chat her up.

"Bitch!" she thought. Sophia liked David, and thought he was rather handsome despite his slight gut, he was funny and witty, yet a dry sense of humour. But whils tthey had chatted over the years, he had never shown her interest.

As she watched them, and his smooth bodily language, trying to trap her agasint the bar, Sophia felt a pang of jealousy. Firstly, she was jealous of Melinda, wishing DAvid had shown that sort of interest in her. But she was also jelous of DAvid. She was warming to Melinda, and was curious about her, and her sexuality.

She was starting to find her attractive sexually....

But after 30 minutes, or so, and her drink almost finished, she thought she had better go and rescue their lodger...

"Hi David, Is Jane out of town again with work?"

David coughed slightly at Sophia's question, but they both knew Jane was a fuck buddy as opposed to a relationship, but it was enough hopefully to distract Melinda from his smooth talking....

 

[BethJones]

Melinda sensed someone approaching, soon remembering Sophia. She felt bad that she had left her, but this was the first guy who had hit on her in years, and to her surprise she had enjoyed his advances. It was only flirting she told herself.

Sophia interupted abrubtly, but with the revelation it was timely. Melinda shook her head with a hint of disgust. In her past she had cheated on past boyfriends, largely due to them being idiots and usually following a fight. Whilst it had never been a something she was proud of her high sex drive had always made her crave more and often after a fight.

She had never cheated on Mike, a promise she had made herself at the start of the relationship, a promise she had kept largely due to his easy going personality. He was so laid back it sometimes frustrated her but never did the fight as he shrugged it off and took her moans and grumbles.

"Sorry Sophia... I was distracted... shall we head back?" Melinda asked, annoyed with herself for chatting to him and abandoning her new housemate.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

"Sorry Sophia... I was distracted... shall we head back?"

Sophia smiled; "He is a smooth operator, good looking and the gift of the gab to boot....." Sophia winked as she continued, "But you deserve better than David."

Sophia led Melinda out of the pub and into the evening air, glad she had worn her waterfall cardigan. She turned to face Melinda. "The direct route? or the picturesque route though the park?"

Sophia hoped Melinda would go through the picturesque park, a slightly longer route. She wasn't sure how she should take things further, if she should at all. But it had been while since she had slept with the fairer sex, and Melinda was just right as she looked down slightly at her petite build.

 

[BethJones]

Keen to see the area and to relax a little after her mild irritation at the pub, Melinda suggested the picturesque route. The evening was cool but pleasent, the air caused small pimples to form on her exposed lower arm and her nipples stiffened, forming two small dots through her bra and top, barely noticeable as they walked.

"Sorry again for at the pub..." Melinda said, clearly annoyed with herself for the indiscretion.

It had been a pleasent evening taking in a range of sights and great company. Melinda was happy to see the familar street and the house. She was happy to be home. A little uneasy about sleeping in a strange house for the first time, but thankful that she could have a lie in and not have to face the morning traffic.

As they reached the door, melinda fished in her bag for the house key, reaching out and slipping it into the lock, turning slowly and pushing the door. Stepping inside to the pleasently warm house.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

"Sorry again for at the pub..." Melinda said, clearly annoyed with herself for the indiscretion.

Sophia stopped walking in the park as Melinda again apologised about the pub.

"Tell me Melinda please?", she asked, giggling, teasingly.

"If I had left you with David alone in the pub, would you have tempted to have invited him back to Christen your new bed?"


"Nope."offered Melinda.

"Sure?"

Melinda just nodded...

Sophia placed her fingers on Melinda's face as she looked at the older girl caressing her cheek, her lips briefly.

"Has anyone ever told you you have lovely eyes Melinda?'

Without waiting for a response, she took Melinda's arm, and walked arm in arm back to their home, and ascended the steps to the front door; where Melinda opened the door, and dashed in to inactivate the alarm before it went off.

It was still quite early as the two ascended the stairs, bidding each other good night.

Sophia tinkered about in her room, before,back in house attire of leggings and a tight crop top, she headed back down stairs to hand out her uniform, and to iron the other one for the following day.

 

[BethJones]

Melinda felt a little awkward as Sophie again complimented her eyes, it seemed more than just a casual comment, yet she took it as she hoped it was intended and smiled. When Sophia linked arms, this was again a new experience, Melinda had always seen this action as one between sisters, although never having a close relationship with her own sister she couldn't be certain.

As they walked back, Melinda thought about how Sophia had looked out for her at the pub. Maybe Sophia was treating her as the sister she never had? Melinda wasn't certain but hadn't felt uncomfortable the whole way back and had shrugged it off.

At the house they had parted company, Melinda felt a little guilty about the pub incident and reached out her mobile phone dialling Mike for a check in and catch up. As they chatted she felt more relaxed. More convinced that nothing would have happened had Sophia not interviened. Mike and Melinda chatted for 45 monutes or so.

As the conversation reached a natural conclusion there was just one more thing she wanted to do...

Calling out to Sophia as she walked down her staircase to the bathroom, "Sophia... Am I alright to take a bath?" remembering Adrian's words about having to prise her out of the room.

Although she didn't get a response, the bathroom was empty and she let the water run, adding a scented bath foam to the water. Once the bath was mid way full, she checked the water, a tad on the warm side but comfortable. Quickly discarding her clothes she slipped into the warm foamy water allowing the scent of lavendar to fill her nostrils, her eyes closing as she felt truly relaxed.

.

Ironing completed, she returned to herr room, carrying her skirt and blouse on hangers, and hung them up outside he wardrobe/

Moments later, she was listening to ZAdok the Priest and other Handel chorus music as she searched the web, checking facebook and the like, including seeing if she could find whether Melinda had a page; but to no avail.

She was starting to feel tired, and used to having the bathroom to herself, she opened the door to see Melinda in the bath.

"Oh my please I do apologies" offered Sophia as she saw Melinda in the bath. She glanced at Melinda one more time, before she closed the door retreating into her bedroom, befrore emerging on the hall way, and headed for the second water closset for the guest room.

 

[BethJones]

As the warm water settled at a more comfortable temperature, Melinda lay back, enjoying being able to relax without worrying about how late it was. The stressful drive to University gone. She smiled as she thought about her chat with Mike. His voice comforting, enthusiastic he had shown a genuine interst in her day, was keen to understand how she was and how she was settling in, the focus had been on her.

As slowly washed her body, she sensed her hands caressing rather than washing. The encounter at the pub, Mike's voice, the warmth and the lack of stress had her body tingling. She knew it wasn't the best idea in a shared bathroom, but she couldn't help herself.

Her fingers began the ritualistic dance around her breasts, teasing them, tempting her nipples to harden. Light, low gasps of pleasure escaped her lips.

The water heightening the sensations as she let her fingers slowly dance over her toned torso, finding her pubic hair, slowly dancing over her clit. It felt good. It felt wrong. This wasn't her home, it wasn't her bathroom, perhaps that also heightened her arousal.

Her fingers slowly caressed her lips, feeling them as the blood rushed to her pussy, if only Mike was here now, gasping as she slipped one finger inside her slit, applying just a little pressure making her squirm.

The foam covered her body as she began to enjoy the sensations more. The click of the door made her freeze. Her eyes darting across, a flushed look on her face. Maybe Sophia didn't notice, shee seemed embaressed to have barged in. Struggling for words Melinda stammered "It's... It's Ok..." not even sure Sophia heard as she left.

Melinda finished washing, deciding to retreat to her room to finish what she had started.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

Sophia finished her nightly ablutions, having heard Melinda race up the stairs, the echos filling the hallway.

She closed her bedroom door, and stood, pausing...

Seconds later, she too was following Melinda's footsteps up the stairs, knocking on the door to her studio style room.

As Sophia knocked, the door opened barely a knock made, in her rush Melinda had not pushed the door fully closed, and so not caught by the catch.

Her eyes opened wide as she saw Melinda cleary masturbating, playing with her self, her eyes clossed.....

Sophia watched briefly, before retreating, allowing Melinda the privacy she deserves...

 

[BethJones]

In the safety of her room, Melinda fished out her rabbit vibrator. She needed this now more than ever.

Dried with the white fluffy towel, no attempt to dress, she lay back on her bed, enjoying the comfort it gave. If only Mike was here she thought again as she pressed the tip of the vibrator between her legs. Deciding not to use it's vibrating features for fear of noise.

Slow, firm movements. Pressing in. Moaning lightly.

In... out...in... out, the motion continues picking up pace as she pleasures her naked body. Tingling all over with anticipation as she feels her body responding to her well timed movements. Her moans stifled as best she could not wanting any furter embaressments tonight.

Her thoughts of Mike working himself inside her, one last hard push and her body began to tremble her fingers working her clit more forcefully as she was gripped by orgasm.

Her climax seeming to never end as she writhed on the bed, vibrator firlmly between her legs.

As she calmed, she was sure she had heard the click of the door.

A niggling doubt that someone had been watching, yet logic said that in an old house it was most likely a draft.

After a good nights sleep, Melinda woke with a start. Glancing at her clock, panicking as she noticed the time, up dressed and out in under 10 minutes. She couldn't believe it. Late! for the first time ever and she only had a 10 minute walk.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

As Sophia turned into Bishopsgate, she saw Melinda approach, as she started to sprint the final 200 metres or so. She waved briefly, before stoping, breathing deeply.


During the afternoon, Sophia texted Melinda using her father's phone, "want to join us for supper around 1900? S"

 

[BethJones]

Melinda read the text, she knew she had a mountain of work to do, yet didn't want to appear ungrateful.

She replied "Supper would be great.. Thank you Mx"

Her standard sign off, although she wondered after sending if the x was too much, despite feeling comfortablle around Sophia.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

Sophia replied almost instantly, "our pleasure, any allergies?"

Another reply from Melinda simple said 'No'

Sophia and Adrian were chatting in the front room, the ingrediants prepared for fresh cooking. As the news finished at 1830, the tell tale sound of the front door opening could be heard.

Adrian was in a pair of shorts, Sophia in a loose of the shoulder tunic top and matching skirt, both dressed for the late so called Indian summer.

 

[BethJones]

Melinda arrived home, tired after working late but still thankful to not have the long drive. Her day had been pretty uneventful, and pretty boring, a few lectures and lots of reading. Her eyes were tired as she got in, calling a brief greeting before heading up to her room to dump her bag and the stack of books from the library.

After a quick freshen up she headed down to the kitchen, greeting them both again, she had slipped on an ankle length black and white dress, a tiny glimpse of her clevage and no sleeves.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked polietly as she entered the kitchen.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" she asked polietly

"Not at all" replied Sophia.

It was her turn to cook, as Adrian started to explain. "two maybe three times a week including the weekend, we try and make time to sit down for a meal together either in here or in the dining room...."

Adrian looked at Melinda and smiled... " and we are in the dining room tonight... so there will be no TV and no technology allowed at the table.."

"Oh and sorry I wasn't around much but work was offered, and well I was able to take it up..... - the advantage od being self employed and semi retired."

He looked at Melinda in her dress and smiled, thinking that she was rather 'plain yet very pretty, alluring' in is eyes...

"I was thinking ladies of a glass of wine, how about a white or even a bottle of my favourite Rioja Rose?"

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

Sophia was busy cooking when Melinda entered the kitchen. She was cooking her version of chicken in a cream sauce with pasta, a simple but healthy meal with fresh tagliatelle from the local Italian deli around the corner.

AS such Sophia mostly listened t the conversation between Melinda and her father, as she added the already prepared ingredients, and stirring.

"Five minutes warning!"


"Oh and Rose sounds good" giggled Sophia, a drop of perspiration on her brow.

It wasn't long before the cream was added and folded in, before it was served onto the Pasta bowls....

"Its ready, asking Melinda to carry the third bowl as Adrian was already int he dining room pouring the wine.

Moments later, to the sound of soft classical music, the sort of quartet ensemble music heard in a good restaurant, the three sat down in the large dining room, the evening late summer sun setting over the back hedge, filling the room with the reds and oranges of a beautiful sunset.

Out of the window was the rather large conservatory, complete with a strange protrusion from the first floor - Adrian's floor.

 

[BethJones]

Smiling softly, Melinda accepted a small glass of wine, she really needed to knuckle down with some work, but she was keen to make friends with her hosts. Her mind running over the list of things that needed to be done. It was great they had accepted her so easily as part of the family, but there were going to be times when she would have to lock herself away in her room. Studying for her PHD wasn't like her first time at Uni when she could party every night and knock something together at the last minute, this need thought, planning and time... lots of time.

The smells wafting from the pans on the hob stimulated Melinda's tatse buds, pleased she had not turned down the offer of a meal. "That smells divine," Melinda said as she sipped slowly at her wine.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

As they sat and ate, Adrian started to ask Melinda some questions about her studies, her Phd, and the like.

They were not too nosey, but rather full of genuine interest, though Sophia had asked similar questions the night before. The music was not at all intrusive as the three of them chatted, Sophia occasionally glancing at Melinda from the corner of her eye, the vision of seeing her on her bed complete with toy had only made Melinda more intriguing sexually towards her. The dress suited her, the high neckline hiding her cleavage, but the slight tension lines around her breasts suggestive, though Sophia had seen a glimpse of those breasts the previous evening.

But she endeavoured not to over look, over stare as they chatted...

But soon, the meal was consumed, with three clear plates as Adrian leant back.....

"Guess it's my turn to feed the dishwasher." Adrian stated as he sipped his wine before offering torefill the glasses....

 

[BethJones]

Polietly, Melinda declined a refill. She offered to load the dishwasher as she really needed to get on with some work.

She thanked them for a wonderful meal and apologised for needing to study.

She took their dishes, not waiting for any protests, loaded the dishwasher and switched it on, having listened to the instructions given previously on its use.

She then slipped upstairs and began a long boring session of reading and note taking.

 

[CFMB_fan]

.

As Melinda left, father and daughter continued chatting for awhile - his recent business trip and a few - very positive comments about their new lodger so far.

Be Fore Long, Sophia apologised and left the room, she too had work to do, the start of term was fast approaching, and she wanted to; needed to read through some notes etc just to refresh her mind, in readiness for the next onslaught at uni.

Adrian finished tidying up in the kitchen and dining room, before he retired to the living room, and started to listen to some Pink Floyd, on the stereo as he retrieved his mac-pro and started to edit some photos from a recent shoot he had participated in, an erotic portraiture session with some fellow enthusiasts from the local photography club

 

[BethJones]

Melinda's eyes grew heavy as she looked over the books, she was at the point where words seemed to bleed into each other. Closing the book, she shook her head. Mind buzzing. She needed to unwind otherwise she would never sleep.

She glanced at the clock, and although a little late, she wondered if an evening run might be feasible. Slipping on a pair of tight fitting running leggings, a turquoise sports bra and a loose fitting white tshirt, she went downstairs.

Suddenly, she recalled seeing Sophia running that morning, and whilst she was sure a run round the block wouldn't get her into too much trouble she decded to ask about possible routes. Polietly but firmly she knocked on Sophia's door hoping it wasn't too late or that she was disturbing her.
