I did something today that I'm not really proud of. I always thought I had -- well, above-average moral standards, but I guess I found out that the old saying of "a stiff dick has no conscience" is true.
The house two doors down from me is an enigma to me. In the three months I've lived here I've seen many very attractive women coming and going all day long and only a couple of men. One of the regular women is a bit older, perhaps in her early forties and has reddish brown hair. She has what I guess you'd call a hard body as she looks very firm all over with somewhat small breasts. For me that's perfect, I'm one of those weird men who actually prefers smaller breasts.
My morning routine is unvarying; I get up, turn on the computer, make coffee, then go on-line. I have a dial-up connection so, while it's doing its slow thing, I take my first cup of coffee outside and have a cigarette while I check out the weather and watch trains go past the house. I sleep in the nude and just pull on my robe before going out and, because it's dark when I get up, I don't worry about anyone seeing anything.
I normally only see two others up at this time, two men down the block leaving for work; one at 5:30 and one at six. Today, I'm just taking a sip of coffee when I hear, "Hi, you're McCarthy, aren't you?"
Shit! I dribble hot coffee down over the front of my robe as I turn and see the older woman walking toward me. I brush off the coffee as I say, "Most people call me Mac."
"Well, Mac, I see you out here nearly every morning. Can I have a drag?" Without waiting for a response she reached out and plucked the cigarette out of my fingers. Taking a deep drag she held it and then blew it out slowly. "Oh, I needed that."
She handed it back to me and said, "I can't smoke at home. My parents are rather sick and the smoke is bad for them." She looked around and said, "Nice morning, isn't it?"
Before I could answer she grabbed the cigarette again and took another puff. "Every time I see you out here you're always wearing that robe. My curiosity is eating me up, what do you wear under it?"
She's going all over the place with this conversation so I try to act cool as I took a sip of coffee and said, "Nothing."
