The Perfect Fuck Buddy Ch. 08

The car trundled up the long driveway, gravel crackling lightly under the tires. Alex glanced over to Ariel, her arm slung out the window, her dark brown hair flowing over her shoulders. His hand had been on her knee for most of the drive, settled atop that stretch of smooth olive skin.

Their destination waited just ahead, the sprawling house surrounded by lush green.

"So," she spoke up, turning to smile at him, "what's the over-under on how many times Aunt Sylvia tries to set you up?"

He laughed.

"Do you even know what an over-under is?"

"No clue. I've just heard it a lot lately."

He laughed again, guiding the car around to the left, where a small paved area held other cars.

"Well, all I know is you wouldn't make any money on that bet."

He parked at the end of the line of cars, and squeezed her knee before slipping out into the humid air. She grabbed her canvas bag from the backseat and followed.

A path wound around behind the house.

Two men stood just beyond a short white fence, part of a pool and some lounge chairs visible behind them. The side door into the house waited to the right.

"Alex!" one of them greeted him. "And Ariel! Welcome, welcome! Hope the drive wasn't bad."

"Nothing we couldn't handle," he replied, accepting a hug.

"Uncle Ralph!" Ariel chirped brightly, going in for her own hug.

"Hey there, munchkin!"

"I'm Alex," Alex said to the second man, holding out a hand.

"Cliff, nice to meet you."

"Oh right," Ralph ...

... said. "This is Cliff, he's a new guy at work. Figured he should come by and get to know some people."

"New guy?" Cliff said with a grin. "It's been six months."

"Well, you're new to them."

"Go change," Alex told Ariel. "I know you're dying to get in that pool."

Ralph nodded and gestured for her to slip past them.

"Nice to meet you," Ariel added to Cliff on her way through.

"You too."

Ralph glanced at her for a second and then back at Alex.

"She looks more like Carmen everyday."

"You're telling me," Alex said drily.

"Who's Carmen?" Cliff asked.

"My wife," Alex answered.

Here it comes.

Cliff glanced past him, back in the direction he and Ariel had come.

"Is she coming too?"

Ralph winced slightly.

"She, uh, passed away years ago," he explained.

"When Ariel was a baby," Alex added.

"Oh shit, I'm so sorry."

"All good."

"That must've been so hard."

Yep.

"By the way," Ralph cut in.

Whew.

"You're single, right? Sylvia asked me but I wasn't sure."

"Yeah, I am. Not really looking though."

"Why not? You're a catch."

He shrugged.

"I have work and Ariel. That's all I need."

"Well, I get it, but Sylvia has a few people she thinks would be good for you. Fair warning."

Alex chuckled.

"Thanks."

Ariel strolled back outside, air conditioning giving way to warmth. Her daddy was still chatting with Uncle Ralph and Cliff, his eyes ...
