On a hot July day, hardly a cloud in the sky with birds chirping in the shade of tree branches, you are sitting on your porch reading a book, with a cool beverage sitting beside you on a table. A white sundress, covered with daisies, fits loosely around your body, straps leaving your shoulders bare. You are barefoot and the dress stops just above your knees. Although hot, there is a light breeze that flows through the dress every so often, providing some relief from the heat, and your porch is covered. You are cooler outside than inside your home, where the air-conditioning provides minimal help although your landlord claims it is working correctly. You read for about 30 minutes and then all of a sudden, you hear a truck pull up to the house next to yours that has a for-sale sign in the yard. The bed of the truck is overflowing with items and you don't pay much attention as a guy hops out of the truck and starts unloading it. You return to reading and your new neighbor continues to unload.
An hour and a half later, you realize that your new neighbor is still unloading the truck but you have noticed something else. He has removed his shirt and now you start to pay closer attention to him. He is a little over 6 feet tall, by your estimation, and the shirt, it was hiding a lot. You put your book down, put your sunglasses on, and pick up your glass as you stare at him, the sunglasses hiding your eyes.
He has broad shoulders, sloping down from his neck evenly on both sides. You feel like he works out but is not a gym rat. The shoulders connect to some thick, but not overly thick, muscular arms, and you see the veins dilated throughout them, the result of having been moving stuff for almost two hours. You watch as his chest ripples as he picks things up. You start shifting a little bit uncomfortably in your chair and you continue to look at him. Toned stomach muscles that taper down to a V-cut and a narrow waist stare back at you. He squats down to pick up something he has set on the ground and you see a thick, high-riding rear end stretch the back of his shorts and watch each side of his butt move up and down as he walks. You see the bottom of his thigh muscles stick out from the bottom of his shorts as they form a teardrop shape around his knees. His calves are thick, well-defined, and ripple with each step.
You feel a tingle between your legs as you try not to stare at him. Your mind wanders to when you were last satisfied, and you honestly can't even remember. The sun starts to go down and you notice that his truck is almost empty. Displaying a forwardness that you don't normally have; you walk down the steps of your porch and over to his driveway. You introduce yourself.
"Hi, I'm Ana, your next door neighbor."
"Hi," he replies. "I'm Drew, just started moving in today. Nice to meet you."
"Would you like to come over a for a drink?" you ask. "You've had a hard day."
"Sure," Drew says. "I'll be over in a few minutes. See you then."
You turn and walk back to your place and open the front screen door. As it slams behind you, you quickly straighten up your living room and then go to the kitchen, getting two glasses down and an ice bucket. You drop a few cubes into each glass when there is a knock on the door.
You walk into the living room and see Drew's silhouette outlined against the quickly darkening night and you smile and let him in, for the first time being close enough to him to realize how tall and muscular he is. To your surprise, he is still shirtless as you see his chest just inches from your eyes.
Drew follows you to the kitchen, and you ask what he would like to drink.
"Water's fine. Nice place you have here."
"Thank you. What brings you to town?" you reply, as you bring him a glass of water and you start sipping your favorite wine.
"I just got a promotion at the software company I work for, and that required a move." he says.
"What do you do?"
"I'm an elementary school teacher," you reply.
"Cool," he says.
You can't help but stare at his chest. Slightly dark, with light hair, and there are little drops of sweat trickling down, forced by his muscle definition into little rivulets. You watch as they run between his ab muscles and drip off the edge of the "V" and onto your kitchen floor.
He finishes his current swallow of water and realizes you are staring at him and quickly turns a dark shade of red. "I'm so embarrassed. I am standing here sweating in your kitchen. I would have showered before I came over but found out the water is not in my place I yet. I thought it would be. Would I be able to use yours?"
Before you know what is happening, you have said yes and are leading him down the hall. You hand him a towel and show him where the soap is and shut the door to the bathroom and leave him alone to get started. He thanks you profusely as you leave.
Your bathroom is attached to your bedroom and you decide to fold some laundry in order to stay near the bathroom. The door to the bathroom has a faulty latch and it has cracked open while you were tending to the laundry and you look toward it.
