There was a knock on my door one Saturday afternoon. When I answered, I was greeted by a guy in his sixties that I had seen moving into the opposite apartment earlier this week.
"Sorry to bother," he said. "I just moved in and wonder if you could give me a hand real quick?"
"Is there a piano involved?"
"Heavens no. Just two pictures that are too big for me to hang by myself. Just big. They weigh practically nothing."
"Sure." I grabbed my keys from my bowl. "I'm Marc."
"Hello, Marc. I'm Tim. I promise, it won't take but a minute."
I got a gander of him as he led the way to his door. He was about my age and somewhat small, maybe five-nine. While the years had robbed me of my hair, they had turned his silver. It was cut neatly but casually long. He was slightly plump but it looked to be time-softened flesh rather than lard. A good-looking guy with only a trace of a prance in his step. I, on the other hand, have become a bit of a gym rat as the years grew long and still play hoops on Wednesdays on an Over-50 league.
The paintings were 3 or 4 feet wide, definitely a two man job. Within minutes we were done. His walls were festooned with art. I took a moment to admire it. Monet, Renoir, Van Gogh, and others I didn't recognize. "I like your taste. Gotta love the impressionists."
"I know. I love all schools of art but for home decor it's the Impressionists for me. I mean, I'd just go cross-eyed looking at Picasso all day."
That made me laugh. He was standing close and, as he turned to point to a particular picture, his hand grazed across my cock. "Excuse me. I didn't mean ..." He shrugged with an innocent smile but his voice was husky and low and assumed a suggestive lisp. "I just wonder how you feel about this one. It's a Mary Cassatt."
With fingertips on my arm, he led me across the room. He wound up standing even closer, almost looking over my shoulder, his body near enough to exert a gravitational pull without actually touching.
"I like Cassatt but, I don't know, it just seems that by using a pastel pallete she surrendered vivid Impressionism to the Europeans. Still, her works really capture the lives of women during her age."
"That's very true. And very well put. Care to sit for a minute?" As he guided me to the sofa, Tim somehow managed to brush across my cock again. Again, there was slightly lusty apology. "I'm so sorry. I'm just clumsy today."
