Drew pulled into the parking space then looked down at his front seat with a single raised eyebrow. It would take a bit of shuffling for him to manage carrying everything in one load. Of course, it would be far too silly for him to come back to the car once he was already inside. He was determined. He clumsily stood up from the car while sliding the leather strap from the laptop case onto his shoulder. He resisted the automatic urge to put his keys in his pocket since he'd need them to open the front door and there was no way he'd be able to fish them out again. He placed the empty coffee thermos from the commute that morning under his arm so that he could grab the pizza box with that hand.
With his other hand, he took the styrofoam container which held the mozzarella sticks and dipping sauce. He set it on top of the pizza and angled his arm so that it slid onto his chest. He knew that one had a tendency to move around, so he'd better use his body to brace it from falling onto the ground. It would be nothing short of tragic if those delicious, albeit greasy, appetizers were lost to nature. Finally, he lifted the bouquet of flowers in the hand which still held his keys. He used his hip to bump the car door closed. The size of the food and the odd angle of his arm forced him to extend his neck farther than he normally did when he walked, but he wouldn't have to walk very far.
As he headed into the apartment complex, he passed by that couple walking their husky. Technically, the animal was still a puppy, though its head was as high as the woman's chest now. Drew loved seeing that energetic dog walking by. Since he only had a glimpse of it once every few days, it amazed him to watch how fast the puppy was growing. Its thick brown and gray fur was gorgeous. Its eyes were bright blue and he didn't think he had ever seen its mouth closed. The humans nodded at him as they passed and he smiled, responding to them as best as he could with his arms full.
That was something he truly loved about this apartment complex. With as many hours as he worked, he'd never be able to have a dog. It wouldn't be fair at all to keep it locked up in their small space all the time while he was away for the majority of every day. Still, he had a chance to watch a fluffy puppy growing up. It made him happy.
A few steps later, he saw a woman apparently leaving for a run. She wore a sports bra that both showed off the outer shape of her breasts and revealed plenty of her cleavage. Her bare midriff was toned and muscular. He supposed that she was technically wearing shorts, but their small size meant that they were essentially panties. As she passed from one side of his view to the other, he was able to see the round shape of her butt. The fabric covered only a small portion of her shapely cheeks and what it did cover, it clung to, accentuating the movement of her muscles with every step.
Drew inhaled and exhaled deeply through his nose, taking a moment for the intense sensation running through his body to dissipate. He kept walking. His mind drifted to one of his favorite jokes he'd seen on the internet. There were two pictures, one of a woman in jeans and a bra, the other of a grizzly bear holding a guitar. The caption read, "This is a Bare Midriff and This is a Bear Mid-Riff." He didn't laugh, but he did smile with amusement at the thought of the funny play on words.
When he reached the door to his own apartment, he had to maneuver his hand into an awkward position to get the key into the lock without smashing the flowers. It probably would've looked silly to someone watching him, but he managed. He was greeted by the sound of loud music. He recognized the song instantly, "All About the Bass," by Meghan Trainor blared from the bluetooth speaker on the kitchen counter.
Laura was in the kitchen, dancing passionately to the music and singing along with every word. She wore a tee-shirt, but nothing beneath. A tremendous grin spread across his face as he watched her hips sway from side to side to the catchy beat. It was very appropriate, he thought. The song was all about being proud of your body if it isn't thin. It was a positive declaration of a woman's beauty. The most striking lyrics said, "My Mama She told me Don't worry about your size. She said Boys like a little more booty to hold at night." He watched her amazing naked butt swinging in front of him and he felt a pulse shoot down his torso to make his cock tense inside his pants.
