Most people his age would almost loathe the idea of house sitting especially for someone like his aunt, for him it wasn't such a big deal as it gave him a rare opportunity he would be hard pressed to pass up on. Dan Jones had arrived early in the morning as his parents had offered to drop him off as well as take his aunt to where she was embarking on her weeks long cruise, to say it had been a bit chaotic would be putting it mildly as the four of them shuffled suitcases and bags from house to car for nearly an hour. His aunt had then explained what she wanted him to do, nothing unexpected, feeding her cats, watering her garden, making sure it wasn't messy and then they were off again leaving the seventeen year old to explore his new surroundings.
It was a fairly large home for just one person but he guessed it wasn't always that was as he moved through the front door and shut it behind him, his own belongings ferried upstairs in the initial rush. Whilst he had been left home alone for a week once or twice before in the past that was his own home and it was an odd feeling to be left alone in someone else's home for six weeks, it also had an odd atmosphere to it given almost everything had been covered in plastic to protect it from dust and such save for the guest bedroom he would be occupying. He was more used to a home with some kind of ambient noise to it but there was an eerie quiet to this house as he made his way into the kitchen figuring he would fix himself some breakfast.
Polishing off a couple of slices of toast and a tall glass of orange juice he made his way up to what was his room for the next month or so and began unpacking his belongings. He set-up his laptop, his phone and changed into a star trek t-shirt and a pair of shorts which almost looked slightly too big on his skinny frame as he made his way back downstairs to start on the list of daily tasks he had. The only reason he had even agreed to this so easily was it allowed him a unique opportunity to attend a sci-fi convention that was literally a bus ride away from his aunt's home, he'd been once before and had been in true nerd heaven but due to hotel costs, travel expenses and the cost of tickets meant he'd never had the chance to afford going again until now. His parents considered it a fair trade and a reward for him agreeing to take care of his aunt's house and her trio of cats whilst she had a long overdue holiday but that wasn't for another few days.
He set out bowls of food and water for each of the three cats by the catflap and decided it'd be best if he watered the garden now before it got unbearably hot for him. Fetching a watering can from the storage closet he filled it at the outdoor tap as he realised the enormity of the task ahead, flower beds and potted plants seemed to fill every spot except the paving stones which wound their way around the edges of the garden and up through the middle. He was also a little surprised at the fact there was only a waist high fence surrounding it, back at home almost everyone had six to eight foot privacy fences and the like but he guessed this was a quiet neighbourhood and it wasn't that necessary.
Dan then noted as he began watering around the left side of the garden first that there was only one other house next door to the right of him which further removed the need for a huge fence he guessed. It took him almost forty minutes and two refills to water the left side and centre of the numerous flowerbeds and plants before he even got to the other side, it was then things took a turn he wouldn't have imagined in his most fevered fantasies. As he moved up along the final stretch of flowerbeds he caught sight of a pair of bare feet but he thought nothing much of it at first, it was hot summers day so someone sunbathing wasn't an oddity. When he moved past the obscuring bushes in next doors garden his heart nearly stopped, his mind almost refusing to accept what his eyes were seeing for a moment.
Atop a large beach towel of some kind was a woman sunbathing whilst reading a book, his heart was pounding furiously in his chest and his mouth had gone dry as his eyes went wide in realisation that she had no bikini, swimsuit or towel covering her as she lay on her front. He blinked a few times as trying to dispel a vivid daydream as his eyes travelled from her bare feet up the supple length of long toned legs and thighs to the perfectly shape globes of her bare buttocks and the subtle curves and dips of her hips and back and up to the tresses of blonde hair atop her head. He was frozen to the spot however, a mix of fear, indecision and stunned excitement filled him as he feasted his eyes in a slack jawed stare at his first look at a real naked woman. Should he flee, should he keep watching, should he run away and look out from his bedroom window? He had no idea but she hadn't noticed him yet even as the watering can emptied itself uselessly over a paving stone as Dan stood there frozen to the spot unable to tear his eyes away as an uncomfortable lump formed in the grey material of his shorts.
