It had seemed like such an innocent and minor request that of course Kathy had said yes to letting Diana’s daughter Leah stay with her for a few weeks while she found a place near her new job. Kathy didn’t know Diana that well, but since they worked together, it just seemed rude and awkward to refuse.
Leah seemed pleasant enough at first, if a little entitled. But as the days past, that entitlement started to annoy Kathy. Leah just assumed that Kathy would prepare meals for her. Dishes piled up in the sink, unwashed until Kathy got to them. Dirty laundry strewn across her room. Her tendency to wander around the house in just her underwear.
She was a pretty girl and Kathy didn’t blame her at all if she was proud of that, but this wasn’t her place and she wasn’t just dashing from her room to the shower and back. She’d come out and browse the fridge for snacks or sit down to breakfast in just her panties and bra. Which was how Kathy discovered that Leah didn’t even shave.
Once she noticed, Kathy found it hard not to stare, and to wonder. If she didn’t shave her armpits, did that mean? Kathy had always shaved, it just never occurred to her to do anything else. And so her eyes wandered from quick glances at Leah’s curly pit hair, down to the cute, skimpy, panties that she kept wandering around in. She knew she shouldn’t. She knew it was inappropriate and yet, she kept looking. Leah certainly wasn’t shy or hiding anything from her.
Things came to a head three weeks in.
“I’m out of clean clothes.” Leah announced. “Didn’t you do laundry this week, Kathy?”
“Did you bring it out?” Kathy’s voice was tight with irritation…
