Meet Lester

Excited by the prospect of finding an actual apartment to rent, the Williams left the hotel early to have breakfast and then make their way to the apartment building. At the same time, Lester was doing his best to make himself and the apartment presentable to his potential roommate.

At a quarter past 10 am, Sarah and Dan pulled their Dodge Journey into the parking lot of the Cityfront Tower apartment building. Sarah leaned over and grasped her husband’s hand. “This place looks great, babe! Can you see yourself living here?”

“Yeah, I guess,” Dan replied, looking through the windshield at the tower in front of him. The tower might have been an exaggeration. The apartment building in front of them was only twelve stories tall and looked similar to the half dozen other apartment buildings they had visited this weekend. It definitely wasn’t Trump Tower, but it wasn’t a shithole either. “I just hope the actual apartment is better than the others you dragged me to.”

Sarah feigned an annoyed expression. “I almost can’t wait to be rid of you.” She flashed Dan a quick smile. “Come on, it’s almost 10:30. Let's go check this place out.”

They exited their vehicle and made their way through the parking lot toward a narrow pathway that led up to the lobby. As they opened the glass lobby door, Sarah retrieved her cell phone from her purse and quickly located the email from the previous night. Satisfied that she remembered the correct room number, she pressed #609 on the intercom.

After a few rings, a gruff voice emanated from the intercom’s speaker. “Hello?”

“Hi, this is Sarah Williams. We exchanged a few emails last night about renting out a room.”

Without a reply, a buzzer went off followed by the click of the lobby door allowing them entry. As they rode the elevator up to the sixth floor, Dan began thinking about the brief exchange over the intercom. “So what do we really know about this guy?”

“Nothing really, I guess,” Sarah said, while watching the ascending numbers on the elevator’s screen. “What I do know is that you start work next week and need a place to live. This building is in a prime location and the pictures online made it seem worth our time. Plus, the rent fits in our budget.”

When the elevator doors opened, Dan moved to step out but Sarah gently grabbed his arm. Looking back at her, Sarah raised both her hands to cup his face and stepped closer to look into his eyes.” I love you.”

“I love you too, babe,” he said as he leaned in and kissed her.

After a few moments of holding up the elevator for their tender embrace, the couple made their way down the hallway to apartment #609 and knocked on the door.

Peering through the peephole, Lester took in the beauty of Sarah Williams for the first of many times. While the peephole only exhibited her angelic face, it was enough to cause Lester to adjust the rising bulge forming in his pants. Wanting to get a look at the rest of this woman’s body, he quickly opened the door.

When the door swung open, the Williams were greeted by a short, overweight man a few years older than Dan. Despite his unattractive features, it was clear he was trying to make an effort to look respectable. His wiry hair was being kept down with some kind of product, and he was sporting a blue dress shirt a few sizes too big, tucked into a pair of black slacks.

Lester’s outward appearance helped set the couple’s minds at ease. While he was nothing special to look at, he at least seemed like a somewhat well-put-together individual. The potential roommates that they’d met over the previous few days had done little to impress them.

Dressing well upon first meeting a roommate was a tactic Lester had adopted over time. Portraying an upstanding member of society was Lester’s strategy to gain a bit of trust with potential roommates. No one wants to live with a stranger, let alone one who’s a dirtbag. The respectable appearance was just one strand of the web he was weaving to ensnare the couple.

While the couple’s first impression of Lester was being cemented in their minds, he quickly looked over the body of Sarah Williams. While his eyes danced up her body, he groaned internally. Yessss…

The woman standing in front of him was the picture of perfection. It took all of Lester’s mental fortitude not to emit that groan out loud. Her calf-length jean khakis hugged her slender thighs and shapely hips. A loose black blouse hung off her shoulders but did little to conceal the outline of the firm breasts hidden beneath. While he fantasized about what her body would look like without clothes on, Lester extended his hand. I’ll know soon enough. “Hi, I’m Lester.”

“Sarah,” she reached forward and shook his hand, noting some slight perspiration in his palm.

“And this is my husband, Dan.”

Making physical contact with Sarah’s creamy vanilla skin caused Lester’s dick to swell even harder. While shaking her hand, Lester briefly broke eye contact to admire the slight jiggling effect their handshake was having on her chest.

From his past experiences as a lecherous roommate, Lester knew not to give Sarah too much attention. If he did, she may come to see him as his last roommate did – creepy. He released her hand and shifted his gaze to Dan, shaking his hand next. “So, you’re the one looking for a place then?”

“That I am,” Dan responded.

“Please come in and take a look around.” Lester stepped aside and motioned for the couple to make their way into his lair. The couple walked through the entryway and into the living room of the apartment. They took a brief moment to look around at the state of their new surroundings. A moment was all Lester needed to take advantage of the couple’s backs being turned to him as he admired the curvaceous behind of Mrs. Williams. Her perfectly round ass stared back at him as he licked his lips. Even though the material of the khakis was stretched to contain her excellent butt, Lester didn’t notice any underwear lines. She must be wearing a thong....or going without. That naughty girl.

Sarah was relieved to see that the pictures posted online matched the apartment’s appearance. Everything appeared to be neat and tidy. The minimal furniture of the living room was neatly arranged around the TV without any dirty dishes or clothes strewn about. She was impressed that there was actually a centerpiece on the coffee table, as well as photos and candles neatly decorating the walls and shelves. This is much nicer than the last few places we looked at.

Dan gave Sarah a relieved glance. His apprehension about visiting this apartment from craigslist was slowly disappearing.

What the Williams couple didn’t know was that the tidiness and immaculate styling of the apartment were due to Lester’s last roommate. She had taken it upon herself to decorate and make the place more comfortable while she lived there. In her eagerness to move out and get away from Lester, she left many possessions behind.

“Feel free to take a look around and talk to each other. I’ll be here if you have any questions.” Lester **** the words out. He knew he had to seem outgoing and normal to make the Williams comfortable with him. He pointed across the living room to another doorway.

“Over there is the kitchen. It has fairly new appliances.” Motioning to the other side of the living room, Lester pointed Dan and Sarah in the direction of a hallway. “Down there on the left is the bathroom. The first door on the right would be your room and the one at the end of the hall is mine.”

After the brief exchange with Lester, the couple started checking out the apartment’s other rooms. Each room they visited was just as spotless as the living room. Even the fridge and medicine cabinet were neatly organized.

Standing in what could be his future bedroom, Dan was very happy with the size of it.

“What do you think?” Sarah asked with a tentative smile.

“I think this place is the best one we’ve seen all weekend. It’s pretty tidy. I won’t feel like I’m slumming it here,” Dan walked over and opened the closet doors. Both doors opened to reveal a closet devoid of any clothing but with plenty of hangers and hooks for most of Dan’s wardrobe. “And this room isn’t half bad. It sure doesn’t beat our room at home, but it will do for now.”

“What do you think about Lester?” Sarah asked.

“He doesn’t seem like a bad guy. Definitely better than some of the other candidates we’ve met. I think he might be a little weird, but at least he keeps the place clean. What do you think?

“He seems nice.” Sarah thought back to meeting Lester a few minutes ago and the way he subtly looked her over. Just because he checked you out doesn’t mean he is a bad guy. He is a man, after all.

Sarah glanced at the full-length mirror on the wall, admiring her reflection. And I’m not too hard on the eyes. Can I really blame the guy?

“And yeah, the place is well kept.” She shrugged. “Not as well kept as our house, but I’m sure living with him will be bearable.”

Dan nodded and continued looking around the room.

“So...what should we do? Do you want to take it or look around at some other places?” asked Sarah.

Dan turned to look at his beautiful wife. Her lovely green eyes showed nothing but love for him. Part of him still didn’t want to commit to renting any place because it would mean leaving her. He sighed. “Well, work starts next week and I’m still going to need some time to move some of my things in. I’m not sure we have time to look at other places. Besides, this is just temporary so I don’t need to live in the lap of luxury.”

He strode over to her and took her hands in his. “Let’s go talk to Lester.”
