The Wrong Redhead

After breakfast at the Lakeside, Zack and his family returned home, where they gathered in the living room.

“So, Zack, how did the end of your school year ago?” Aunt Mallory asked, leaning back in the armchair.

The Bishop living room had two armchairs and a couch that could sit three, loosely forming a circle around the flat-screen TV. Zack’s parents were both doctors, so they had a fair amount of money between the two of them. They weren’t rich like the Ravers, Wynwick, or Smith clans, but they had enough to be comfortable.

Aunt Mallory was in one of the armchairs, and Zack was sat between his mother and his Aunt Misty.

“It ended pretty good. Chloe and I both passed Chem, which was kicking our asses.” Zack said, pleased with himself.

“Chloe’s your girlfriend, right?” Aunt Misty asked.

“No! No, Chloe and I are just friends!” Zack protested, his cheeks warming.

Aunt Mallory gave a suspicious ‘hmph’ sound.

“You two have been awfully close lately.” Monica noted.

“What? No we haven’t.” Zack argued.

“So… you two DIDN’T share a bed last week?” Monica teased.

Both of Zack’s aunts turned his way wearing smiles.

“Well, we did. But it was only because we were pulling an overnight study session for finals, and we got really tired.” Zack said defensively.

Monica turned to her sisters.

“They were cuddling when I came in the next morning.” she revealed, smiling broadly.

“Mom! We were not cuddling!” Zack exclaimed, cheeks flaming.

The three brunette sisters exchanged smiles.

“What do you call it then?” Monica asked innocently.

“Canoodling?” Aunt Misty suggested, bumping her shoulder against Zack’s.

“Definitely not.” Zack shook his head.

Aunt Mallory laughed.

“I think you and Chloe would make a great couple.” Monica said seriously, “The two of you are so close already, and we both know she’s only really comfortable around you.”

Zack flushed, and shook his head.

“Chloe and I… really?” Zack asked. Monica smiled.

“You should go ask her out. Now, I think. Maximize the amount of summer months you have with her.” Monica suggested.

“You’re serious?” Zack asked in utter shock.

“Absolutely.” Monica smiled.

Zack stared as his mind worked it over. Dating… Chloe? Well, she was absolutely gorgeous, with long red hair, large breasts that she rarely ever showed off, and shapely, womanly curves.

Plus, Monica wasn’t exactly wrong in that Chloe was incredibly close with Zack, and she did seem very comfortable whenever she was around him.

“I… I can’t just go ask out Chloe.” Zack stammered.

“Why not?” Monica inquired, her icy blue eyes dancing.

“I…” Zack trailed off. Aunt Misty wrapped her arms around Zack from behind, and her small-to-medium sized breasts pressed up against his back.

“You should go ask this girl out, Zack. She’s pretty, she’s single, and she seems like she’s kind of into you.” Aunt Misty advised.

Zack swallowed. Asking Chloe out was a thought that had popped in his head a few times over the years. Their friend, Leon, had asked out Chloe once, and they’d gone on one awkward date, and that had been that.

Zack hoped that if he DID ask Chloe out, things wouldn’t go like that.

“Maybe.” Zack relented a little. Monica lit up.

“Are you…” she asked.

“Yes, I’m going now.” Zack decided, and Aunt Misty let out a delighted sound as Zack rose to his feet and hastily grabbed his keys and left the house.

The two minute drive to Chloe’s house was filled with him being indecisive about this decision. He pulled into his best friend’s driveway and parked the car.

His heart was racing as he got out of his car and walked briskly to the door and knocked.

It was opened by Charlotte McRose, Chloe’s mom. Charlotte was a gorgeous woman who was his dad’s best friend growing up. They weren’t quite as close these days, but they were still really good friends.

Charlotte was 41, like Zack’s father. She had long, slightly wavy red hair, vibrant blue eyes, large breasts, and a big, round ass. Charlotte had always been a little bit of a tease, and unlike her daughter, she enjoyed showing off her assets in ways Chloe never did.

Charlotte was wearing a tight, low-cut black tank top and light blue jeans so tight they looked painted on.

Zack tried hard not to glance down at the cleavage of his best friend’s mother.

Charlotte gave Zack a warm smile.

“What can I help you with, Zack?” Charlotte wondered.

“I was wondering if I could talk to Chloe?” Zack asked, a little flustered around his best friend’s sexy mom.

“Oh, I’m sorry, Roy took Chloe and Holly out on a trip to visit their grandmother.” Charlotte apologized.

“Oh. Uh, why didn’t you go with them?” Zack asked in confusion.

“I have some open houses to do. Besides, Roy’s mother and I don’t exactly get along.” Charlotte said tactfully.

“Ah. Got it. Uh, do you know how long she’ll be gone?” Zack wondered.

“A week or so. Roy got some days off work and the girls wanted to visit their grandma.” Charlotte said.

“Right. I guess I’ll just go home then.” Zack shrugged.

“Zack, honey, come inside. I’m lonely, bored, and could use some company.” Charlotte invited.

Zack blinked.

“Oh, uh, ok.” Zack said.

Charlotte stepped aside and Zack walked into the McRose house.

Zack and Charlotte went into the kitchen, and Charlotte grabbed two mugs.

“You want some coffee?” she offered.

“Sure.” Zack nodded.

Charlotte grabbed a pot of coffee and poured out two mugs of the hot black beverage.

“Any cream or sugar?” Charlotte asked.

“A little sugar if you have it.” Zack said.

Charlotte added a little sugar to Zack’s mug and slid it towards him.

Zack took a sip, and Charlotte leaned against the kitchen counter, holding her mug in her hands. Zack glanced up from the bare strip of skin exposed as her black tank top rose up to reveal her creamy stomach.

“So, what did you need Chloe for?” Charlotte inquired.

“Oh, I was just, uh, going to see if she wanted to hang out.” Zack shrugged.

“Hm. How’s your summer been going?” Charlotte asked, raising an eyebrow.

“It’s been good. My aunts just came to visit, so that’s pretty exciting. Oh, and Taylor will be here in a week or so. It’ll be nice to see her again.” Zack said.

“Oh, that’s right. How’s she liking Green Hills?” Charlotte wondered.

“Uh, I think she’s enjoying it. I mostly just hear about how crazy Hannah gets and how much work Taylor puts into keeping Hannah from going even crazier.” Zack chuckled.

“I might know a little bit about that.” Charlotte smirked.

“You do?” Zack blurted.

“Oh, yeah. I was pretty wild back in the day.” Charlotte smiled, looking wistful.

“Seriously?” Zack asked.

“Don’t believe me?” Charlotte gave a saucy smirk at Zack, one which left him feeling a little warm, and a little bit stiff down south.

“No, I, uh, I believe you.” Zack said hastily. Charlotte gave a small pout.

“No, I’m serious. I’m not just Chloe’s mom, Zack.” Charlotte said, walking closer with a teasing smile and a bit of a sway to her hips, “I used to be a lot of fun. There were gossip articles written about me. I threw parties, I went to far more parties, and all the guys wanted to date me. And do a little bit more, if you get my drift.”

“Mrs. McRose, that’s… that’s a little bit too much information.” Zack flushed.

Charlotte laughed.

“Zack, you can just call me Charlotte.” Charlotte smiled.

“Charlotte.” Zack repeated, trying it out.

“Yes, Zack?” Charlotte asked, fluttering her lashes and drawing closer to him.

“Oh, I was just, uh, testing it out.” Zack stammered.

Charlotte reached up and tucked a strand of red hair behind her ear, and her full lips curved into a playful smile.

“Am I making you nervous, Zack?” Charlotte whispered teasingly.

“A little.” he confessed. Zack had never spent much time alone with Chloe’s sexy, sexy mother.

“You should never tell that to a woman.” Charlotte laughed.

“Oh.” Zack said, a little surprised by this information.

“Surely one of your girlfriends must have taught you about women.” Charlotte laughed, drawing back a little but not enough to put Zack at ease.

“I’ve only had one girlfriend. Unless you count me marrying Ashley Woodsen in kindergarten.” Zack said weakly.

“I don’t.” Charlotte giggled. Giggled. Zack had never made a girl giggle before.

“Then it was just Lisa.” Zack said.

Charlotte gave Zack a little look.

“Really? A handsome young man like you only has ever had one girlfriend?” Charlotte asked, moving closer to Zack again.

“Y-yeah. Just the one. And we didn’t even do anything that serious.” Zack nodded.

“You remember how I told you I was lonely?” Charlotte whispered. Zack nodded slowly, unsure where this was going or what to expect.

He definitely did not expect Charlotte to kiss him.
