It was early in the morning and I'd just gotten out of bed. My wife had long since gone to her work, since she was on the 73 shift that day. I work from home so I set my own hours, usually about ten a day. I remembered that the pants I had to wear that day were still in the dryer so I walked out to the utility room, naked, which is how I sleep. Throwing a damp towel in with the pants, I turned the dryer on to get the wrinkles out and headed for some coffee. It had long since gone cold, so I stuck a cupful in the microwave while I put some things out for breakfast. With a hot cup of coffee in hand, I walked through the house to boot up the computer. A quick check of my email and I went back to the kitchen, cup in hand, with no thought whatsoever that I was stark naked.
I’ve never had any qualms about being naked in my own house since we live in a very small town and there are only a few houses on our street, and we sit back off the street about 25 feet. There are blinds in the kitchen, but at six in the morning no one is going to be looking in my windows anyway. I mean, what are the odds that someone will be staring into my window at six in the morning on the outside chance that they’ll see me naked. .
When the buzzer on the dryer went off, I finished my coffee and went to get the clothes out. My hand had just touched the dryer door when the phone rang. Padding back into the kitchen, I picked up the phone to hear our neighbor's voice on the line.
"That's a very nice outfit you're wearing," she cooed.
I felt like an idiot. There I stood, stark naked, in front of the big window in the breakfast room. I jumped back to take shelter behind the cabinets.
"Cindy, what the hell are you doing looking in my window?" I yelled.
"Hell Rich, I thought you were putting on a show for me. I'm not complaining, why are you? I just told you I liked what I saw."
"Is that all you wanted?" I asked. "I've got things to do and one of them is not making my neighbor wet. Take a cold shower or something."
"Hold on, hot shot, I need to talk to you."
"Oh, for...let me get some jeans on so I don't let it all hang out." "Whatever," she replied. "I don't care if you're naked or not. I just need to talk to you right away."
I pulled my jeans one, remembering too late that I had a brass button and a now very hot
zipper on them.. After cursing a few times and pulling the hot metal away from my flesh, I finally got them snapped and zipped.
"If you're looking for Janice, you missed her. She works the early shift today." "I knew that, Rich. I've been waiting for her to leave so we could talk."
"Talk? Talk about what?"
"Let's just say it's something you don't want to discuss in front of your wife."
I leaned over to search for some Danish that I'd picked up the night before, thinking about my neighbor watching me naked through that window. I never considered Cindy to be a beauty or dropdeadgorgeous, but she's not the least bit unpleasant to look at. Far from it. Her shoulder length auburn hair and dark brown eyes highlight her creamy complexion. She always wears oversized sweatshirts or tee shirts that are dark enough and large enough that you see no hint of how she's built, and I've spent a lot of time staring at her, guessing at what that shirt covered. I'd seen enough of her ass as she bent over to know that it was damned nice.
"Should I be worried about where this is going?" I asked.
"I hope not," she replied, "but I don't think so."
"I guess you've got the advantage over me because I have no idea what you're trying to say."
"What would your wife say if she found out that you've been cheating on her?" ` I damned near choked on my Danish. "What the hell are you talking about? I haven't been cheating on her."
"Oh really? Would you like to bet that I can convince her that you have?"
I didn't reply for a minute, suddenly realizing that it wouldn't be all that hard to do since she's been insinuating for a long time that I have. Visions of being kicked out flashed through my mind. It wouldn't be the first time, but it wasn't something I'd like to repeat.
"Ok, ok, what are you saying? You know I don't have any money, Cindy. Hell, I'm trying to figure out how to pay my bills as it is."
"I don't want your damned money, Rich. I'm not hurting for cash. Hell, I probably have more than you do. No, it's not money that I'm looking for."
"DAMN IT Cindy, what do you want?"
"Calm down, Rich. No need to get excited. Why don't you come over and have some coffee with me so we can talk face to face. I think you'll be glad you did."
