It was the weekend after Halloween, and as I was taking down all of my decorations, she stopped to talk. Caroline looked to be in her early thirties and was quite cute. She reminded me of an incident on Halloween night that refreshed my memory of her, her friend Angela, and their two little boys.
I'd done something completely different with my setup this year, which allowed trick-or-treaters to walk through my yard to get a closer look at my decorations. The ladies in question walked up with their respective sons, all taking their time to take in the sights. Caroline, in particular, seemed to be quite flirty while always keeping her eyes on me. When they first came in, one of the boys triggered a motion-activated ghoul that moaned and moved like it was crawling. Even I thought it was pretty creepy.
After it finished, I doled out candy to the two boys as Angela looked back and forth at me and the ghoul.
"So, how does it work?" Angela inquired while waving a hand about three feet in front of it.
"Well, it is motion-activated, but as the batteries gradually drain, you sometimes have to touch it to get it going," I answered before tapping its hand with my foot.
The decoration again did its thing as all of us watched intently. One of the boys backed away, while the other commented, "That thing is really creepy," to which I added, "Yeah, it is a bit much for younger kids. I should probably move it elsewhere next year."
Angela was still intrigued by the thing as the boys moved toward the graveyard. Caroline, however, was still chatting me up like a horny schoolgirl that was hoping for some time under the bleachers.
Caroline then remembered aloud, "But the best thing of all was when Angela reached down closer to the ghoul. Assuming that she'd have to touch it as you did to get it going. When she bent down it went off right in her face and scared the daylights out of her. I thought I would bust a gut laughing as hard as I did. You chuckled pretty hard, too, as she reared back up in fright."
"Yeah, that was the best scare of the night, for sure!" I agreed as we both giggled a little more at the memory.
After a long pause in the conversation, I bent down to pull a witch from the ground, where I'd had it staked. Apparently, not wanting to lose my attention, Caroline hesitantly offered, "So, I guess you noticed my feeble attempts at flirting that night?"
Looking her in the eyes, I responded, "They were not feeble, but I assumed it was just because I was there and easy to talk to. I am, after all, much older, and I couldn't imagine a beautiful young lady such as yourself being attracted to an old geezer like me."
"Flattery is the key to getting in my pants. But you already knew that, didn't you? And that's exactly why I'm attracted to you. Well, that and the fact that I've always had a thing for older men, especially ones in as good a shape as you seem to be," Caroline confessed.
