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

I'm always busy, whether I'm actually at the office or at home. I hate having to go in though, I have to play dress up then. Her mind drifted on the fact that she really was hoping that she wouldn't have to actually go back in for a while, she was enjoying her time out of the bigger city that she'd just moved from. Oh, you like the beach? Emily inquired cheerfully. She'd planned on going to the beach today before her car had broken down but now the trip would have to wait. She didn't mind too much since she really only liked to go to be close to the ocean, to hear it and walk in the sand since she couldn't really swim, she only played out in the water. I was going to go later today but I'll have to postpone the trip now til the car gets fixed, so it's looking like a movie kind of weekend for me this weekend. By then, he'd found her car and she heard him give a low whistle when he saw it. She grinned. The company really did pay her well and although she had opted for a simple enough apartment, it was big enough for two people allowing her more than adequate space to live alone. I like it well enough. She said when he mentioned it being a nice ride. The car wasn't that old and she was quick to answer him It's only a year old so I'm sure whatever it is wrong with it is minor. She would have liked to have been confident in her statement but as she had no mechanical inclinations what-so-ever she would leave the diagnosis up to the the mechanic. When he parked his car, she already had her keys out and was unlocking the doors and popping the trunk so that they could retrieve the rest of her items. She sat two more recyclable bags full of canned goods on the pavement from inside of her trunk before moving to the back seat of her car and producing a new pair of sneakers, high heels and a little black dress that she simply couldn't pass up when she saw it for half price although she really had no intentions of dating anytime soon. She wouldn't worry about the dress not fitting her later as she had remained the same size for the past several years and although she was what she considered to be very curvy, she had no trouble maintaining her curvacious form. With the bag of shoes and the dress in her hand she smiled at Joseph This and those two bags are all I had left, I managed to carry everything else in the first trip. She was interrupted then when the tow truck pulled up only long enough to exchange the necessary information with the driver and hand him the keys with instructions for the mechanic to call her on Monday when he knew what was wrong with it, along with giving him her triple A information so the tow truck company could get paid for coming out today too. After watching him pull away with her car her smile would return as she looked over at Joseph. The handsome young man had literally saved the day and she hoped by the time they returned to her apartment she could think of some clever way to repay him for his trouble but for now she would simply offer him a big smile, her green eyes twinkling softly as she spoke You've saved the day for Joseph, I'm not sure how to repay you, but thanks so much for helping me out. If nothing else, he would be able to discern the sincerity of her words when she spoke to him, her smile conveying how much he was appreciated.
