Thread: Like a Good Neighbor (RVJ94 and Whispered Desire)

With the introductions out of they way she turned the key that led into her comfortable sized apartment and led Joseph Ryan into the main hallway that led through the spacious living room and into the adjoining kitchen where she sat the few bags she had down and flipped on the overhead lights. She repeated his name to herself several times until she got into the kitchen so she wouldn't forget it and having set her bags down she turned to him then. It's a pleasure to meet you Joseph, you can just sit then down anywhere you can find a spot. Emily smiled a broad smile then but winced slightly. It was the first time she'd really attempted to smile since Mark had beaten her and the action had caused her cracked lip to hurt more than she had expected. The smile faded from her face and she fell momentarily silent. Emily moved across the kitchen then to a large desk which was still cluttered with unpacked boxes. She'd begun working from home right away for her company and she'd still have plenty of unpacking to do. She bent over the desk and rummaged through the drawers until finally producing a pen and note pad and stepping back to where Joseph stood she handed him the pad and pen as she removed her sunglasses, the slightest of a bruise still being hidden by make up the best that she could manage. Would you mind writing down the name of your mechanics so I can give them a call then? She motioned to a chair at the kitchen table, seating herself as she did so in the one opposite of it, her long legs stretched out in front of her as a small sigh escaped her lips. Well, guess without my car I'm pretty much stuck sticking only to things within walking distance for at least the weekend. She'd begun talking almost forgetting that Joseph was still in the room with her until she looked up, once again noting that he really was rather handsome for his age. She'd never really looked at younger men before, but Joseph did manage to catch her eye, perhaps it was his dark hair, or those dark soulful eyes, or just the fact that he seemed to really be laid back that she found her gaze returning to his form time and time again. Not wanting to appear rude or stare at him her gaze turned towards the window as sunlight streamed in and across her face. Nice day for the beach isn't it? Too bad ones not near enough for me to walk to. The truth was even if she could go to the beach she wouldn't do anything more than walk around for a while in the sand. She'd never learned to swim well enough to actually attempt playing in the water much, and it wasn't really like she owned bathing suits anymore. She'd stopped wearing them when she'd put on weight after college, despite that most men found her to be somewhat attractive, she just wasn't comfortable wearing bathing suits much any more and she only even owned one. I'm sorry, where are my manners? The least I could do is offer you some coffee, tea, maybe a beer or drink or? Then she laughed as she remembered, the only thing she had to drink alcohol wise was some left over vodka from before the move.

Joseph followed her into the apartment, which was laid out identical to his. This one had all the evidence of someone who had just finished moving. Boxes of all sizes stacked on top of each other or by themselves, some of which were open, some of which were on the floor or on desks and tables. It made the apartment look smaller than it really is. He didn't notice any pictures of relatives or significant others, but they could very well be packed away also. He sat the items he had on the kitchen counter, finding enough room for all of them. It's nice to meet you too, he said while turning to face her, a smile of his own forming. He thought he saw something in her smile, like it was forced or something, but he didn't linger on it long. He looked around the kitchen casually, as if waiting for a cue to do something while she disappeared momentarily then reappeared. When she requested the number for the mechanic, he replied, Sure, no problem, and followed her to the table. Taking a seat that was closest to him and to her, he wrote down the name of the shop along with the phone number. He had to scribble circles a couple of times to get the pen to work. The shop was only a handful of miles away from where the apartment complex, so it shouldn't be too much trouble to get there as long as she wasn't completely new in town. But that's when he remembered what she said earlier about moving, and not having any friends in town. If she was new in town, there's no way that this attractive woman would stay lonely for long. Pushing aside the notepad to her, he said, Thank you, but no thanks. Then he laughed a little bit at the choices she offered. Honestly, I don't drink coffee, I never cared for tea, and I don't drink alcohol. The last one being a personal choice, one that always seemed to get a reaction out of others when they learned of it.

It's really a personal choice, that's all. I don't think I live that straight edge lifestyle or anything. He shrugged it off like it was nothing, although he did sometimes like to see the reactions out of others. The truth was, among other reasons, was that he had seen what it can do to other people, people that he cared about. Whether it was just for a few hours, or a lifetime, he didn't want to be seen behaving like those who were out of control after several drinks. He sat there and listened as she rattled on. He found that sometimes if he was quiet, the other person would talk. And the more they talked, the more they tended to reveal about themselves, and he was learning a few things today. She dropped bits of topics as she went on, like it was something she needed to say. And since he was there, it was better than talking to herself. He didn't expect to hear about the last guy she dated, or that he liked to drink. Lots of people drank, but some became pretty mean and violent if they were inebriated. If that guy was one of those types, then maybe that's why she brought him up. Her leg bumped into his as she got up to go to the kitchen, and he smiled to acknowledge her apology. No big deal or anything, but it did draw his eyes to her legs for a moment as she walked away. She certainly had a nice figure. An hourglass type. He found himself drawn to that type of figure, as evident from his past two girls he had dated. He didn't know if she worked out or if it was natural, but he liked how she filled out those shorts. The top wasn't too bad, either. As she turned around, he forced himself to stop staring. The topic turned back to him. It was his turn to reveal. I work part-time at an office out in the Henley area of town, part-time at home. I do quite a bit of work on the computer, working on websites and such, he said with a cool, even tone. Then he added with a smile, So you aren't the only one that can work from home. He saw an opportunity to make himself some plans for the next few hours. That is, if she so allowed it. I tell you what, why don't I call for a wrecker, and I'll drive you to your car and help with the groceries. I'd hate for you to do all of that by yourself.

Emily listened intently as Joseph talked, committing every detail to memory along with they way he smiled, how his dark eyes seemed to hold something different than most men she knew. Perhaps it was because he said he didn't drink on top of the fact that he'd already come to her rescue once today. She nodded as the spoke, an acknowledgement to what he was telling her but mostly she just listened. She noticed quickly that she liked the sound of his voice, the way it carried to her ears and the way he sounded like he was genuinely a rather laid back person. Emi admired that in people, she'd never cared for uptight people. While she understood that sometimes ones work could cause stress, she'd always been of the mind that as her daddy had always taught her Well Em, if you have something that causes you stress in your life, the best thing to do is get rid of it. Her dad had always been practical that way but the truth was that it was sometimes easier said than done. Her attentions quickly snapped back to one hundred percent, the brief thoughts of her father disappearing as Joseph offered to call a wrecker and drive her to get the remainder of her groceries. She smiled then, her hand almost touching his in a sign of thanks as she spoke but quickly she withdrew it, realizing what she had almost done. Her cheeks turned a lovely shade of crimson as she spoke. That's very kind of you Joseph, and it would be a huge help but I hate to bother you. Emily looked away then feeling rather guilty already for having taken up part of his Saturday. You've already done so much and I hate to consume your time on your day off.

He pulled out his smartphone, and started to look up the nearest towing company. It seemed like there were quite a number of them, from observing his surroundings while driving. What street is your car on? And what kind is it? he asked her, to gather enough information for the phone call. With his experience at constantly tapping and sliding his fingers across the touch screen, it took him all of five minutes from the time he had located one to the time the phone call had ended. He wondered if she was impressed. He accepted her gratitude with nothing more than a shrug and a friendly smile. Really, he was just being kind. It was more than just not having much to do at the time, although he'd have to admit that it did help. Standing up, he said, If you're ready to go back to your car, I just need to go back to my place to get my keys and wallet. From what he could tell, she didn't need to grab anything else, or change clothes unless she felt sweaty. The sun here had a bad habit of doing that to people.

Emily noted that her car now sat at the corner of third and fourth street, just two blocks up and that it was a deep burgandy colored Cadillac cts-v. Emily was rather pleased at the way Jonathon had just taken charge and gotten it done. She'd always loved a man who knew how to get things done and wasn't afraid to do it. That type of man had always impressed her and the fact that he seemed to be really laid back only added to her ever growing interest in her new neighbor. Despite that she basically thought men to be a hindrance to her life anymore, there was something different about the younger man who now stood in her kitchen. Perhaps that was the attraction, that he was different then most men that she'd ever dealt with before. The fact that he was younger, and rather handsome in her eyes, didn't hurt either. He indicated that he was ready to leave and Emi frowned slightly, not wanting to impose further but the walk home in the early morning heat had left her less than uncomfortable. Give me just a sec to toss on a dry shirt, I'm afraid the walk home was a bit warm. She smiled then You can wait for me in here she nodded indicating the living room as she closed the distance across the room and slid behind the door of what would be her bedroom. Be right back she tossed over her shoulder, then going to her dresser to pull out a low cut v necked spaghetti strapped sun top that would keep her cooler, and be much dryer. In her hurry to get changed so as not to waste more of Josephs time on his day off, she hadn't taken the time to pull her bedroom door shut. She'd simply grabbed a dry shirt to pull on, and standing in front of the floor length mirror she'd pulled off her damp shirt and bra, drying her naked upper torso quickly with a towel from the still unpacked laundry basket on her bed, and replaced the damp garments with the dry shirt, not bothering to put on another bra since the shirt had one built into it. She tugged the bottom of the shirt down over her ample breasts and then over her smooth stomach. For a woman her age, she didn't think her body to be perfect but didn't think it to be as bad as some women her age either. She turned, smoothing the shirt over her shorts and giving one last glance in the mirror before reappearing in the room where Joseph waited I'm ready now. Sorry for the wait. She found herself apologizing to the young man once again but smiled a rather warm smile We can just head over to your place to get whatever you need she said, grabbing her keys and a small wallet that held her drivers license, credit card and a few small bills and slipped it into the back pocket of those form fitting jeans, the keys hung around one of her fingers for safe keeping.

Joseph stood patiently near the front door, as Emi went to her bedroom to change. Hands in his pockets, he watched her walk down the hall and away, giving him another chance to glance at those killer legs that poked out of those shorts. His eyes lingered on her hips as they swayed back and forth. When she finally disappeared, the door never closed, which he thought was a little strange. Most women -- hell, most people -- would close the door when changing while a stranger was standing in their living room. The thought crossed his mind of the possibility of her walking by the door partially clothed, but the chances were probably slim. His eyes darted from the bedroom door to around the living room and back. Until she returned, his company consisted mostly of the moving boxes. If they could speak, they would probably remind him of those slim odds. Unlike the time when he was sixteen, and his older sister's hot friend happened to be caught without a top on. It was purely accidental, but he certainly didn't mind. However, when she did return, he couldn't help but notice that she looked different thanks to the new top, but still very attractive. Her new top looked like some sort of tank top that were tailored only for females, and it really complimented her well. It's rude to stare, he reminded himself. No need to apologize, he said and with a wave of a hand, led the way to his place. Let's go. He stepped up to and through the doorway leading to his place, and went to fetch his wallet. As he put it in his front pocket, and car keys in his other hand, he surmised that his place and hers were different. One could probably tell which one was occupied by the male, and by the female despite her things not being unpacked yet. With a quick lock of the door, he began walking to his car, a late-model Honda. His impending passenger was in tow.

Emily noted that despite the age difference, Joseph seemed very confidant in being assertive, simply by the way he had stated Lets go. Emi followed Joseph towards his apartment not far at all from hers and although she would step inside the door when he motioned her to, she went no further. It was obvious by the way that the place was decorated that this was a males residence, and she failed to note any signs of a female inhabitant. He disappeared only to reappear moments later and again she would follow him, waiting as he locked the door and then on to his car. She couldn't help note again that the younger man was handsome and her eyes would travel over his tall and thin, but toned frame as he walked, her eyes straying over him but quickly looking away when they reached his car. She mentioned My cars just two blocks over. Dumb. That was so dumb she had thought to herself and quickly looked away. Of course he would know where the intersection was where her car was parked, after all he had lived here far longer than she had.

He wondered what she thought of his place. It was a little plain for two guys living there, but he was happy with it. He did his best to keep it neat and tidy, even though his roommate sometimes had other ideas. It was sometimes annoying to see dirty dishes piled up in the sink, but Todd was getting better at it. They walked in mostly in silence from his front door to his car, until she broke it by mentioning the location of her car. Yes, Third and Fourth streets were only two blocks away and he knew that. Why would she mention it again? He didn't know, but it wasn't a big deal. He just looked at her with a smile and nodded once. Okay. They piled into his car and he slid the key into the ignition. He was pretty particular about the inside of his car. Well, the outside too. But the interior was nearly spotless. No loose papers or trash on the floorboards, or half-empty soda cans or bottles in the cupholders. Again, unlike his roommate. The only accessories were his sunglasses clip and a USB cord plugged into the outlet below the radio. So what do you do for a living, other than work from home? he asked as the car slowly backed up out of the parking spot.

The inside of Josephs car seemed to match the inside of his home, Emily finding it somewhat odd as most guys apartments she'd ever been in, like their cars, hadn't been exactly clean. Having been embarrassed over her last out of place statement she hadn't tried to strike up a conversation and was grateful when Joseph began to speak. So what do you do for a living, other than work from home? I work as an administrative assistant. In plain words, I make sure that my bosses work gets done on time and it makes him look good. She laughed at the lighthearted comment which was in actuality, the truth. Which basically means I do lots of reports for the company which is a marketing solutions firm. I handle anything from travel arrangements to scheduling conferences, to doing reports and so on. She smiled at him then, those luscious lips curving upward in a small grin And I get to do it from home, and I get to travel sometimes. I can't complain about the pay either. She would finish answering his question and watched as he backed the car up so that they could go retrieve her items. She glanced out the window and noticed it looked like it might rain later, the humidity was building up outside and she was grateful that she'd gotten the air conditioner checked when she'd moved into the apartment since it was still warm out. When she turned back to him she'd notice again his handsome features and she couldn't help but think him to be rather kind as he'd offered to help her out. She'd have to think of a way to repay him for his kindness but for now she simply inquired What do you like to do in your free time Joseph?

An assistant. That's pretty interesting. People like you are always kept busy, he said. He could picture her doing a lot of multitasking. Typing away on the computer, while a phone was glued to her ear, before grabbing something from the printer. She probably didn't dress up for it since it was all done from home, although he felt it was safe to assume that she'd look awfully nice in a feminine business outfit of some sort. At least she didn't have to make coffee to her boss's liking. Shaking off the image, he answered, Oh, the typical stuff. Hang out with friends, shoot some pool even though I'm no good at it. Hit the beach. I like to exercise some, although it's mostly running. And sometimes, I just like to stay inside and watch some TV or do some gaming. He didn't sound like he had grown up at all. It didn't take them long to reach her car. This section of Third Street was mostly residential, while Fourth Street was nothing but residential. He reached the intersection and spotted the Cadillac easily, which was parked next to the sidewalk. About 15 feet away, a privacy fence marked the barrier between the sidewalk and a single-story residence. He made a quick U-turn and pulled up behind her car. He gave a quick whistle. Nice ride, he said, killing the engine and opening the driver's side door. She wasn't lying about not complaining about the pay. Whatever company she works for must be doing some big business. It sucks that she'll have to use some of that to pay for the repairs. Your car looks pretty new. What year is it?

He reached down next to the driver's set for the lever and popped the trunk open. Like any gentleman, he got the two bags she had sat down on the pavement and placed them in his trunk, while she grabbed the other items. He slowly made his way to her as she talked to the tow truck driver, a shaggy looking male probably in his late 20's. He stood there mostly just to listen for anything unusual or if she needed extra assistance. Plus, it didn't hurt to have an extra male presence. It might make the driver think twice about hitting on her, and surely Emi didn't need that in this stressful time. Eventually, the Cadillac was towed and they were left by themselves again, only with more groceries. He shrugged off her gratitude. No need to worry about repaying me. I just saw a damsel in distress and put on my Superman cape, he replied with a grin, feeling a little goofy. He felt pretty at ease being around her. Relaxed, even. He tilted his head towards his car. Now let's get these back to your place.

When they had retrieved her items and her car had finally disappeared along with the tow truck that had been called, it was then that Emily finally began to relax just a little bit. There was little that she could do now other than wait until the call came to tell her exactly what was wrong with the car. Joseph's comment that she didn't need to repay him brought a smile to her face and it was then that she truly noticed his own smile for the first time. She took a long glance at him, noting that although he was a few years her junior, he was a rather handsome young man. She'd actually noticed it earlier, but not to the extent that she did now, perhaps only because before her mind had been preoccupied with the car. And she had also liked the fact that he'd made his presence known while the tow truck driver was there and was grateful for that as well. When he nodded towards his car stating they should get back with her things, she agreed readily and put her things in the trunk along with the rest of the grocery items. He'd said he didn't need re-payed, and he also had said he didn't drink so at this point she had to think of a way to show her appreciation. About the only thing Emi was really great at was cooking and she wondered if it would be out of place to ask him if he'd care for a home cooked meal. At first she hesitated but it simply seemed to her that he was just so easy to get along with that he wouldn't take the offer in the wrong way so she smiled as they climbed back into his car. Well, you don't drink, so I can't buy you a drink but how would you feel about a home cooked meal? After all, it's the least I can do for your trouble. The offer was a simple thank you, now all she had to do was wait to see if he'd accept or not.

They say that it's good to help others out, especially when it's out of the goodness of your heart. And as he got back into the car, he certainly was sensing that good feeling in his mind. It wasn't like volunteering at the senior center, the YMCA or for an after-school program, but he did feel an extra kick in his step. He wasn't looking for repayment, but he wasn't going to decline an offer for a meal. It offered another opportunity to talk to his new neighbor. Never hurts to get to know the hottie next door, his inner-teenager reasoned. Well if you insist, I wouldn't mind having lunch with you, he said, steering the car onto the road. With you. Those extra words didn't insinuate anything, right? After all, that's who he would be having lunch with. The clock on his car dashboard read 1202. Lunch sounded good. So what's on the menu?, he asked with another flash of his grin, checking both ways at the four-way intersection before proceeding with his turn.
