Caught By Melinda.

The Little hilarious moment made me lose interest in the picture on the wall which I was watching. My new attention was now focused on Johnny's bare chest and arms. They looked gorgeous. Although he had stopped staring at me, my eyes never stopped stealing looks from him. I did that in such a way that Melinda will never find out what was going on.

However, despite my carefulness, Melinda nearly caught me after a long silence. Yes, that was because I was lost in my long stare at Johnny. She called my name immediately to draw back my attention.

"Come on darling, why are you thinking? Remember you are home now. Remember that you are no longer in Charlottesville instead, you are in Kingstown." As I watched, Melinda walked closer and held my left hand. Her voice changed. She was becoming emotional perhaps, she thought I was thinking about it again. It was a messy divorce I had and she thought, the pain has caught up with me again.

While Melinda was speaking, Johnny quietly left the living. I had no idea when he left. It was only when tried to refocus on my previous sight target did realize that he was nowhere to be found.

Far from it, I wasn't thinking about the horrible divorce I had with Simeon. As long as I had something to distract me, I would never give my past a thought. In other words, as long as I have good company, I would never think about my heartbreak.

Staring at the young man, Johnny has aroused a new area of interest in her but, as long as I'm concerned, the feelings I'm beginning to have for him are forbidden.

Because I did not want to prolong issues with Melinda, I agreed to her insinuation. I pretended she was right I was hurting and thinking because of the heartbreak I sustained from my bitter divorce.

"I can't help it, Melinda. You know sometimes I feel like it never happened," I told her.

"But, it happened, Becky and there is no nothing you can do about out. Absolutely, nothing but to accept your fate." She dragged my hand. "Come on now and give me a helping hand in the kitchen, will you?." She was being jovial at that moment.

"Sure I Will."

I have no other choice but to go with her. We made some fries, potatoes, meat and vegetables.

We returned to the dining with the food in our hands. Surprised, Johnny had reclaimed his former sitting position. He was sitting on one of the sofas in the living room not too far from the dining. I did notice his presence initially because he remained silent. I only saw him when I made a turn or 180 degrees. Who knows if he was staring at me as I walked out of the kitchen with his mother?

"Hi, Aunt Becky. I miss your dish. I'm glad you made one this morning," he began as I was about to settle down.

"Oh, that!" I dropped the plates I was holding in my hands on the dining table while Melinda arranged the chairs.

"Don't get too excited, Johnny, she needed a helping hand and I gave her one. So, don't forget that," smiled Melinda as she began to dish out the food on the plates.

"Oh, I see, then she will have to make another set of meals that has nothing to do with your helping hand," said Johnny as he got up to Join us at the table. He was yet to wear any clothes on his upper body. Therefore, his bare chest was one of the distractions I was having at the moment. I couldn't stop staring at him every-now-and-then. Thank goodness, Melinda was yet to look down at me with one of those suspicious eyes of hers. She had no clue about what was going on.

I made sure to sit in his opposite direction, in that way I will find no difficulties in looking at him while we eat. He was yet to catch my eyes, I guess. However, our eyes did meet when I paused eating to drink some water from the water glass. Before I drank from the glass, I glanced at him with a smile. It seemed like he had been in that position staring at me for a long time, as our eyes met.

Deep in my heart, I exclaimed, "wow!" I wondered what took me so long to notice the hairs on his chest. They looked sexy and almost tempting to touch. At that moment, I wished he was my, I could have reached out easily to him. Yes, I could have touched those tempting parts of his body.

I would be the greatest liar in the world, if I did not admit how badly aroused I had become. The food in my mouth was almost tasteless. All I cared for at that moment was to satisfy my sexually increasing urge with the hot dude sitting in my opposite direction, even though I'm more than twenty years older than him.

I couldn't help it any time I remember that Johnny was my best friend's son. Any affair with Melinda's son will definitely go down as one of the most horrible crimes I have committed against her. She will never forgive me and neither will I forgive me.

I tried to dismiss the naughty thoughts in my heart about him but, it seems like the more I try to let go, the more they comes. I was in a mess! My lower body had become soft and wet and all I could do was to put back myself in order before the tender feelings in me becomes obvious. Even though I was sitting on a dining chair, somehow I managed to cross my legs.

Immediately I crossed my legs, Johnny glanced at my exposed thighs. My new sitting position did not go unnoticed when it comes to Melinda as well. She quickly looked at me with a fit surprise on her face.

"What are you doing, Becky? Don't tell me you did not feel comfortable with your previous sit position?" Her voice sounded as if she had caught me red-handed. She was my friend and a woman as well. She could read my feelings like a newspaper. I wondered if my little secret has been busted open. If that's true then, it will not go down a good path between the both of us.
