Chapter 2
"Thank you again, Alex," Olivia says as the duo heads to the front door.
"Anytime Olivia. So listen, I'm doing odd jobs for the summer... You know, mowing yards, cleaning pools, and babysitting. So if there's anything else that I can do for you just let me know."
As Olivia listened to Alex's words, she suddenly began feeling a strange tingling all throughout her body, making her blush.
"I... I'll do that, Alex." the brunette said nervously before opening the front door.
"See you around, Alex," Olivia says, attempting to quell the rising tide of emotions that threaten to overtake the brunette.
"I'm looking forward to it, Olivia," Alex replied after playfully glancing over her right shoulder and winking at the older woman.
Olivia's breath caught in her throat and her blush deepened, making Olivia go weak in her knees.
Alex returned to her house, proud that she was able to help out her attractive older neighbor, that night sleep proved evasive for Alex, as the brunette goddess that lived across the street was all the gorgeous young blonde could think about.
The next morning Alex woke up, showered, and made breakfast for herself before getting dressed and going out to try and find some clients for her services, Alex spends all morning driving around the many high end gated communities trying to find work, but everyone tells the blonde that they were happy with their "professional" lawn care services and nannies, effectively hurting Alex's feelings.
The college Junior returned home heartbroken and on the verge of tears when the blonde spots Olivia wearing a medium length teal blue summer dress and stylish matching sandals.
'Oh be still, my beating heart.' Alex thought to herself as she felt her heart skip a beat, Alex also sees that Olivia was holding a baby boy in her arms.
"Of course she's a Mother," Alex says to herself.
After parking, Alex walks up onto her porch and joined Olivia.
"Hey," Olivia says.
"Hi Olivia, what can I do for you?" Alex inquired with a hint of sadness in her voice.
Noticing that the young blonde seemed to be upset about something, Olivia decided to use her skills as a detective to find out what had taken away Alex's infectious smile and sunny disposition.
"What's wrong, Alex?" Olivia asked carefully as Alex unlocked her front door before inviting Olivia inside.
"Have a seat, Olivia. Would you like something to eat or drink?" Alex asks.
"Sure, that would be wonderful, Alex." the brunette replied.
Alex decided to make a BLT for Olivia when she remembered the baby on Olivia's hip.
"I have some applesauce if you want to feed your Son something." the blonde offers.
"That's not necessary, thanks for the thought though. I fed Noah before coming over." the brunette said.
Alex quickly washed her hands before going to the fridge for the ingredients that she needed, as Olivia watched Alex move gracefully about the kitchen the older brunette couldn't help but allow her eyes to drift downwards, slowly going over Alex's firm, well-toned legs and then even lower to the blonde's perfectly shaped behind.
Olivia felt her cheeks burn as she continued to silently watch Alex as she worked her magic in the kitchen.
"So Alex, care to talk about why you looked so down when you got here?" the older woman asked.
Alex sighed as she dropped four strips of bacon into the frying pan before moving over to the toaster and pushing the four slices of bread down into the appliance.
"I went out earlier to try and get some work," Alex says as she expertly chopped the lettuce.
"How'd it go?" the brunette asked.
"No one hired me, Olivia," Alex says dejectedly.
Olivia stands up, she carries Noah over to the plush-looking couch in Alex's living room. Back in the kitchen... Alex is busying herself by making french fries to compliment the BLTs.
"Olivia, do you like your fries salted or unsalted?" Alex asked as Olivia gently laid Noah down on the couch before looking up.
"Unsalted please, trying to watch my girlish figure." the brunette quipped playfully.
Alex smiled but blushed a deep red nonetheless.
Olivia walked towards Alex, for the blonde time seemed to stand still as she watched the living embodiment of beauty approach her. Suddenly Alex felt a tingle run down her spine as Olivia reached her.
The older woman smiled before pulling Alex flush against her in a tender hug.
Alex closed her eyes, taking a deep breath. Alex smiled as she inhaled the scent of the brunette's cherry blossom passion shampoo.
Once the embrace ended, Alex pulled back from Olivia just enough to lock eyes with the brunette.
Alex studied the brunette's seasoned face, the blonde sees a gentleness, a softness in them.
"Alex, don't get discouraged, tell you what, I'll hire you," Olivia says.
"What?" Alex says, shocked.
"I'm hiring you to work for me, I'm prepared to pay you handsomely."
"How much, if you don't mind me asking, Olivia?" inquired Alex.
"How about $1,500 dollars for the yard work, $900 for cleaning the pool, and $300 for babysitting Noah?"
"Th-that's 2,700 dollars, Olivia." Alex says, still in disbelief.
"Yes, and if you accept it will be your salary." Olivia informs the blonde.
Upon hearing this from the brunette beauty, Alex's eyes lit up with joy.
"Y-yes, of course I accept your offer, Olivia." Alex says gleefully.
"Good, you start on Saturday, can't wait to see you with Noah." the brunette said.
"I'll try not to disappoint you." Alex says.
Olivia reached up and gently caressed the blonde's right cheek, causing Alex to shiver with excitement while blushing deeply at the older woman's subtle touch.
"See you Saturday." Olivia said, her words coated with lust.
