Dedicated to my next door neighbor, who inspired this with her own late night 'activities'...
*
The sound of her door slamming woke me. Or at least I think that was it...it could have been her barreling up the stairs at one o'clock in the morning. I'm not really sure. In any case, it doesn't really matter...what matters is that where I had been sleeping, I was now awake.
But I'm a reasonable fellow, and the hazards of life in the city are such that neighbors slam doors. So I rolled over and tried to go back to sleep.
Long minutes passed as she puttered around in her kitchen, which abuts my wall. She was loud, even for someone trying to make dinner at one in the morning. I started to become more awake, but was still sleepy enough that I might be able to recover from my stall and go back into dreamland.
But then it started.
As I lay there in the dark, on my back, doing my level best to sleep, that noise, that insufferable noise.
Half chime, half beep...the unmistakable sound of Instant Messenger.
It chimes when you post a message. It chimes when you get a message.
And she was very chatty.
There was a wall between us, so I tried to tune it out and go back to sleep. But I just couldn't...
Whatever she was doing, whoever she was talking to, there were these pauses between the chimes...just long enough to prevent me from drifting off, but too closely together to tune out as one longer noise either.
So I found myself lying there, listening to her.
And then I heard it...or I thought I heard something.
A moan?
Was it there or was I imagining things?
There was the chime. Then the pause...and then, YES, there it was...
A moan...
A moan?
Now, I must confess I have a dirty mind, so it didn't take me long at all to realize what she was doing: She masturbating while she was chatting on IM.
My cock sprang to life, rendering me fully awake in an instant.
To back up a bit, I've wanted to fuck Jade since the day she moved into my building. Her real name is Mao Ya, but she introduced herself to me as Jade; said it was just easier on everyone that way. She's of Chinese descent, third generation by way of the West Coast. The woman is blessed with a rather full chest for her otherwise lithe frame, and she has hips that are music when she moves. Blessed with long dark hair, fine as silk, that falls to her shoulder blades. Skin the color of honey and brown eyes I get lost in. She can't be more than 24, and apparently just moved her from San Diego. I have no idea what she does for a living, save that she keeps odd hours.
We met in the laundry room about six weeks ago, and chatted a bit. I am pleased to report that when she caught me checking out her pile of clothe to fold – or more specifically, the pair of white cotton panties atop that pile – she actually smiled at me. A most wicked smile, to be sure.
Now that I was really listening for it, I could hear her quite clearly. Her pattern spoke to one handed typing, pausing for the occasional two-handed shift-key combo.
Who was she talking to? Who had this power to make my neighbor run home to get on Instant Messenger so she could touch herself?
Lucky bastard, I thought, as my hand stroked my cock lightly. I was fully erect, throbbing with the desire to go kick down her door and take her.
It went on like this for some moments, the two of us sharing this masturbatory moment. I drank in the sound of her pleasuring herself.
Then suddenly it stopped, and I heard her slam the computer shut. Some sort of muffled curse drifted through the wall, and I swear I heard her say, "...fucking waste my time!"
Could it be that her unseen partner had booted her offline? I had no way of telling, but since the show seemed to be over, I rolled over and tried vainly to get back to sleep.
But then she began to pace. Clearly she was as wound up as I was.
The critical difference, however, was that I had to be up for work in about five hours, and she was just coming in the door.
Well, I thought as I pulled on a pair of boxers and a robe, if I'm not going to get the show, then she gets the 'shut up, I am trying to sleep' lecture. Not one I like giving, because it's never taken well. And I particularly didn't want to have to drop this on Jade, since I desperately wanted to get into her pants. But sleep was sleep, and my boss wouldn't care that my neighbor kept me up with her masturbating.
So I marched out the door and down the hall. Striding up to the wooden door, I paused, and listened for any sign of life. The pacing appeared to have stopped for the moment, and I swear I heard a faint buzzing, but as the clock was creeping up on two AM, I was taking no chances.
I rapped lightly on her door and waited.
After a long few moments, I heard the chain being drawn back, and the bolt being unlocked. The door opened inward silently, and there she was.
I gasped in surprise. Jade was wearing a short grey baby-tee, a skimpy pair of pink mesh panties, and nothing else. I could see every inch of her body, and I confess my eyes feasted long and well on her full breasts, lovely legs, and sensual curves.
She spent a moment looking me over, taking in my frame in a way that almost made me wish I'd tied the robe shut.
Almost.
At long last she giggled. "What is it, Will? What brings you to my door in the wee hours of the morning?"
I opened my mouth. No words came out. My brain had gone completely by the boards, swept aside in the fierce competition between my cock, which was once more fully erect, and my eyes, which simply could not stop staring.
"Will?" Her voice was soft in the half-light of the hallway.
I said nothing of course, but to my credit I did manage to shut my mouth and blink once. I think this convinced her that I had come over with a purpose because she giggled again and reached out to take my hand.
"Was I making too much noise?" I nodded dumbly. "I'm sorry, I'll be good." She turned to go; I watched her blue-black hair move in time with her body, like a living thing, liquid in its grace.
She was about to shut the door when she noticed I hadn't moved. A look of mild concern stole across her pretty face. "Did you lock yourself out? Poor thing. I did that last week. Thank goodness Marty was around to let me use his phone." Jade smiled again, a winning smile, full of warmth.
It did not escape my attention, however, that her nipples were very visible, pressed against the fabric of her baby-tee. And there was a funny light in her eyes, almost a heat.
"Come on in, and we can call the Super. I think there's a fee for calling this late, but I'm sure he can unlock your door." I nodded again, still stunned by her beauty, but increasingly aware of the fact that this vision was going to drag me into her apartment in short order. Wicked thoughts began to build in my brain, as it recaptured control.
"Yes, I'd like that," I got out at last, "the phone, I'd like to use the phone."
"It's in the kitchen, come on, I'll show you." She leaned in, brushing her body against mine as she shut the door behind me. Her breasts felt like fire against my chest. Worse, she smelled amazing. For a woman who'd been masturbating only minutes before, her body smelled faintly of lavender.
Jade locked the door and then turned and sashayed off toward the kitchen. I just stood there and watched. The sway of her hips made my mouth dry, and the sight of one pert buttock peeking out from under her slightly askew, pink panties was just too much.
I must have groaned, because she turned and caught me staring.
And smiled again.
That same smile that she'd given me in the laundry room that day.
I smiled back weakly, my brain fogged with lust for this woman.
"Come on," she said, I'll call the Super and then fix us a drink, while we wait." I didn't even think to protest that I wasn't locked out, that my apartment was unlocked. Why bother?
We went into the kitchen, where I had the distinct pleasure of watching her bend to get an address book from a low shelf. The panties were fabulous, for they concealed everything and revealed everything at the same time.
She straightened, looked at me and smiled shyly as she handed the book to me. "It's there on the inside cover."
In that moment, I had a blinding flash of insight and took the phone from her with a most determined look on my face. Over the next few minutes, I dialed the number, talked to the Super, and hung up – all without ever actually activating the cordless phone she gave me.
"Well?" she asked, her elbows on the counter as she leaned against it, facing me. Her legs were magnificent, resplendent with the smooth sheen of what must have been dancer's muscles and her toffee-colored skin.
Seriously, my mind was in top form right then, despite the sleep depravation. "He said he'd come by around seven and let me in, but that he couldn't make it."
