A New Start by Angel (diy ebook reader TXT) 📕

Kathy found the kitchen easily from her experience it was always the best place to start. It was equipped with all the latest appliances and everything was covered in dust as if no one ever entered. She opened the fridge it was empty and spotless as if it had never been used. She found a linen closet just inside the laundry room that was located off of the kitchen next to the back door. It was stocked with towels, dish towels, wash cloths, sheets, and comforters. Kathy grabbed a couple of wash cloths and went back into the kitchen. After wetting the wash cloth she proceeded to wipe everything down. It all looked brand new and unused, even the dishes.

Once she was finished in the kitchen she went to the dining room. It had a large antique table with matching chairs and a chandelier that hung above it. She also spotted a large china cabinet in the corner that seemed to match the table and chairs perfectly. It was filled with silverware and plates. "I'll ask that you never open that.", Mark said startling her. " I didn't hear you come in.", Kathy smiled trying to regain herself. "sorry i didn't mean to scare you.","But those belonged to my grandmother.", Mark apologized. "OK I got it.", Kathy smiled wiping down the outside of the cabinet. She turned to wipe the table to find herself alone again. When she finished wiping everything down in the dining room she made her way to the living room where she found Mark. He was sitting in a chair leaned over looking at the papers he had scattered all over the coffee table. " Oh sorry I'll clean here later.", Kathy apologized. "No it's fine you can go ahead and clean here I should be in my office anyways.", Mark excused himself. Kathy tackled the mess that was the living room it didn't take her as long as she had expected it too. She gathered up the stack of papers she had set to the side that looked as if they were important and left the room heading in the direction Mark had went. She wasn't sure which door was his office but with only three door left that she hadn't opened it couldn't be that hard to find. The first door was a small coat closet, the second was a half bath, she smiled as she came to the third door, third times the charm right. She opened the door to find Mark hunched over the papers on his desk. "I found these in the living room thought you may want them.", she almost whispered. He never spoke he only held out his hand for the papers. She slowly approached his desk and handed him the papers. " I want to be in here when you clean this room.", he said firmly as she reached the door. "Yes sir.", was all she said and quietly closed the door behind her.

Noticing the time she went to her room and grabbed her keys. Before going to the school to retrieve her kids she stopped at the local market. She took what money she had left and purchased Ramen noodles and stuff to make peanut butter and jelly sandwiches. After making her purchase Kathy hopped in the car and hurried to the school. It didn't take her long to get the kids, didn't look as if many people or kids lived in this town. Once she had the kids fastened in she headed back to Mark's cabin. The drive seemed shorter this time, but she knew it was only because she was getting use to it. When they got there she took the kids upstairs and showed them their room and explained to them the ground rules she had come up with for them. After that she took the groceries to the kitchen. Since she had cleaned most of the house already she decided to take the kids out to play. She wasn't sure if Mark would make his presence known to her children just yet and she didn't want them disturbing him in any way. Kathy was sitting on the front porch step watching her kids play, not wanting to let them out of her sight just yet this was a new place and strange to all of them. "Nice looking boys you have there.", Mark smiled when she jumped. He seemed to always sneak up on her. "Th-Thank you, would you like to meet them?". She asked. "Yes.", He simply answered. Kathy called to her boys and introduced them to Mark. To her delight they seemed to be pleased with each other. Afterwards Mark disappeared back inside. It seemed like hardly any time had passed at all, but the sun was starting to set. Kathy and her kids went to the kitchen and she made them noodles and fixed herself some toast. She ate quickly and started the dishes while the finished. When they were done she took them upstairs and bathed them and tucked them into bed. She hung out upstairs until she knew they were asleep then made her way back downstairs hoping to find Mark in his office so she could clean it.

She opened the door to his office, but he wasn't in there. She found him in the living room watching the television. Before she even stepped in the room he asked."Looking for me?". "Yes sir, but it can wait.", she answered. She turned to leave but before she could take a step he was right behind her,"Let's drop the sir, it makes me feel old.", he chuckled. She looked at the floor his closeness was making her uncomfortable,"yes sir..... sorry i will try i mean no disrespect its force of habit.". He took her arm and she shook when he touched her,"Come sit with me tell me about yourself.". This was the part she wanted to avoid. She wanted a fresh start without a past like that was an option. She knew questions would eventually come up she just didn't want to answer them. "I'm really tired can this wait?", she lied. Mark saw the fear flash across her face, he wondered what she was hiding, "Sure see you in the morning.". Kathy smiled with relief and said goodnight and made her escape. She went straight to her room and took a relaxing bath and climbed into bed.

The next morning as she reached the end of the drive taking the kids to school the bus stopped. Her children begged to be allowed to ride the bus to and from school. After a brief conversation with the driver she agreed. With not having to make the trip into town she turned around and headed back to the cabin. She went inside and saw Mark's office door was open so she stuck her head in to see if he was in there. To her good luck he was. "May I clean in here now?", she asked. He looked up and gave her a warm smile waving her in. She stacked all the papers from the floor into a neat pile and placed the on the corner of his desk, then proceeded to wipe everything down and vacuum. She lost herself when she reached the back wall reading the titles of the books on the enormous bookshelf that covered the entire back wall. "feel free to read any of them.", he was right behind her again only inches in between them. "Thank you.", she said softly as she took a step to the side putting space in between them. Then she left the room and commenced cleaning the rest of the house again. She didn't hesitate going in his room making the bed and picking up the dirty clothes. After she did the laundry she folded his clothes and put them away

Kathy had been there a few months now and Mark seemed to be pleased with her work. She had plenty of time to spend with her kids and enjoyed every precious moment. He did seem leave more often than he did, she assumed that he went to the diner to eat every evening. He was paying her well enough that she had been able to buy groceries for her and the kids along with saving up money. She wasn't sure how long she would be able to hide here, but was absolutely positive that he was looking for them.

Kathy was putting Mark's clothes away and making his bed. "You smell absolutely divine.", he almost purred. He was right behind her at the closet no way she could move without touching him. She could feel the sexual energy flowing between them and she wanted to give into it , but she was too afraid. She had the worst luck when it came to men and she didn't need to complicate things more than she already had for her and the kids. About the time all that crossed her mind he stepped forward pressing himself against her and closing the closet door. Her body reacted instantly to his touch, her nipples became hard and her panties became wet. Her body wanted his touch it had been such a long time since she had been touched, but her head was screaming at her to get away from him. Mark gently turned her to face him. He could feel her hard nipples through her shirt and bra and wanted nothing more than to release them. He wanted her and was sure that she knew it. She tried to back away from him but there was nowhere to back to, so she looked down to the floor trying to clear her head. Only to have his finger under her chin lifting her head to look at him. Without saying a word he kissed her. She had never been kissed like that before with so much gentleness and passion. Which caused her to get even wetter she was aching for him. After he was satisfied with the kiss Mark opened the door and left her standing their confused and breathless.

Over the course of the next week she debated on whether to leave or not. She couldn't bring
