Kelly Bluebook jogged down the Ocean View sidewalk, breasting boobily as she did. Her ass, scarcely contained by her shorts, clapped like the chorus of a gospel choir, and it was worshiped as such. Her hair was blonde with an e, her nails were fresh as a farmer's market, her eyes were the color of Blue No. 2 food coloring, industrial grade. Her sports bra was twice as strong as Atlas, for it had to hold up two colossal globes, not one.
Every morning, Kelly went for a jog around the neighborhood. Every morning she became a new teenage boy's fantasy or elicited a 'tut tut' from the prudish nuns who lived up the street.
She trotted past her new next door neighbor, Chuck, letting his dog out for a walk. He gazed at her bouncing form, hazel eyes wide as the moon.
He was no slouch himself, as Kelly could see from the tight grey sweatpants he wore while letting his dog out for the morning. His cock was the side of a grandfather clock's pendulum. As mighty as a sledgehammer. A woman needed a heavy machinery license to ride him. He could body shame a sperm whale.
Kelly had to meet him. "Hiya," she called brightly from across the street, waving vigorously.
"Howdy," he replied.
It's a little odd to say 'howdy' in these parts
.
I'd better investigate
, Kelly thought. She looked both ways, then bounded across the street.
Music from the 2017 movie Baywatch starring the Rock and Zac Effron began to play in Chuck's ears. That was both because he saw Kelly running over, and also because he'd rented the film on DVD last night and the soundtrack had been stuck in his head ever since.
Kelly bounded up to Chuck's front door. The house was cute, with fresh siding and shingles. She could suddenly imagine herself living there and redecorating, but that was because interior decorating was one of her favorite hobbies. She imagined herself living in every house she saw; swapping light fixtures, repainting, changing the curtains to blinds then back to curtains when she realized the blinds looked cheap.
She would never do this work herself, of course. She'd hire a strapping young man who dropped his tools a lot so she could bend over to pick them up.
"Hiya," said Kelly, even though she'd already said that.
"Howdy," Chuck repeated.
"There you go. Saying 'Howdy,' again. Why is that?" Kelly asked, popping her hip and touching her finger to her mouth. It was her thinking expression. When she put on her thinking expression, men stopped thinking and told her what she wanted to hear.
"I'm from Texas," Chuck said. "We say howdy there."
"Even to strangers?" Kelly asked.
"Especially to strangers," Chuck replied. This was true.
"I don't want to be strangers," Kelly said. This was also true.
"No one does," said Chuck. This was a lie, but he said it to flirt with her. Some people like being strangers with others. Chuck had neglected thinking about hermits.
"What do you want to be?" he flirted.
"Neighbors," said Kelly. She reached out her hand and shook his. It seemed very formal to her. She'd prefer he'd kissed her hand, even though it would have been weird. He was handsome enough to pull it off. Yes. Chuck was that handsome.
"Neighbors," said Chuck, wishing he had the guts to kiss her hand.
But that would be weird
, he thought, wisely choosing to keep his lips to himself. For now.
"Mind if I come in?" Kelly asked. She filled him in on the stuff from paragraph nine, the interior decorator hobby and all that, as they walked into his sitting room.
"Nice space," she said, wishing he'd pull up the carpet and expose that beautiful hardwood floor beneath. And the walls were too white, a touch of beige would really class up the joint.
"Thank you," he said. "I'm thinking about tearing up the carpet to expose the hardwood floor. After I paint the walls first, of course."
She spun around, wanting to leap into his arms then and there. "I was thinking the same thing," she said breathlessly.
Time slowed for Chuck as Kelly's breasts spun to face him. So did the rest of Kelly.
Keep your mind on the rest of Kelly
, Chuck thought to himself. He was trying his darndest to be polite, but his juicy, swollen, throbbing, hardening, dripping cock of his had him by the brain stem.
So determined was Chuck not to look at her buxom, heaving, bountiful, beautiful breasts, he nearly missed what came next.
"What color?" Kelly asked.
"Bright orange," said Chuck.
Kelly paused.
That can't be right. He was so perfect a moment ago.
Her mind concluded this must be a joke. She laughed, a genuine beautiful laugh that took Chuck's soul and threw it twenty feet aloft.
His soul was aloft for two reasons. One, he had made a beautiful woman laugh, one of the greatest feelings in the world (after orgasming inside a woman (or man, if one prefers) while they whisper I love you in your ear while being young (which makes everything better)).
The second reason his soul was aloft: he was not joking about painting the room orange, and his heart was panicking like a lost child at a petting zoo with more rams than supervision.
"I'm kidding," said Chuck, saving the moment and a lot of money on terrible paint. He laughed along, a nervous laugh, like getting too close to a mountain cliff and a couple rocks fall as you scamper back to safety.
Chuck is so funny
, thought Kelly's brain. "You are so funny," her mouth echoed.
They paused, admiring each other's bodies through their peripheral vision so not to disturb the social contract of not being obvious about checking someone out. Also known as not being a creep. But deep down, they wanted to creep all over each other.
Alas, they could not.
"Shall I show you the kitchen?" Chuck said.
"Ooooh, yes," said Kelly. She looked around, not sure of the direction to go. The hallway from the living room branched in two directions, you see. It was a half split level. She could go up, but that was the way to the bedrooms. Around the corner was down, the way to the kitchen. But she couldn't know which was which, because she'd never been there.
She'd spied on the listing, of course. But it was so much different once you're in the house. The photos weren't clear at all in this case. The previous owner had done them himself.
Always a disaster
, she'd thought at the time.
Chuck put his hand on Kelly's back, guiding her down the stairs to the kitchen. Kelly swooned inside. She hadn't swooned like this since she saw a Hemsworth brother out on one of her jogs. She didn't know which one it was, she didn't get close enough. But it was definitely one of them.
