Wanda trudged up the stairs to her apartment and let herself in. Finally, some time alone. As soon as that tub was full she'd be in it quick as that and David wouldn't be home for over an hour. An hour of peace and quiet, as long as the phone didn't ring or some idiot didn't ring the doorbell.
She turned and headed for her room to get her stuff and have everything ready for when the tub was finally full. Once she got the water running she went out to fix herself a glass of wine and waited while the tub slowly filled.
Of course, somebody had to ring the doorbell. She looked at the tub but finally decided to turn the water off. "Damn!" And went out to the living room and looked through the peephole. "Double damn!"
She gave into fate and opened the door. "Hello. Storm. What can I do for you?"
"Hey, Wanda!" All excited like a puppy waiting for food to be put in their bowl.
"Again, what can I do for you?"
She blushed but she was determined. "I wanted to leave David a present. I think he'll really like it." She said with a giggle.
"Well, okay. His birthday's not until April but I guess that doesn't matter?"
"No, it doesn't." She said with some more blushing.
"Storm, I just got home from work and I'd like to take a bath. So either fess up or you can go home so I can get in the tub. Make up your mind."
"I think I'm falling for him and want him to be the one for me."
"The one what?"
She hung her head and blushed furiously. "You know, I want him to be my first and I think he's falling for me, too. So, I want to leave him a present--me!" She said with a little hiccup.
"So, why do you feel so strongly about him? We've only been living here two months."
"Well, he's considerate and caring and he always smiles when sees me. He's so handsome, I know he respects me, and he always looks in my eye. And... and his eyes aren't glued to my boobies like every guy I've ever met and he doesn't look like he's undressing me with his eyes. How can I not love him?"
"Storm dear, I have to tell you that's how he treats any girl, whether she's eighteen, twenty, or fifty. You should see how he treats my mother, like she's saint or something. He hasn't had the easiest life, so I think he's learned to appreciate every single person he meets--whether they're a guy or a girl, young or old, straight or gay, black, white orpurple. He's just... that considerate.
"Oh, I don't know how you can live here in the same apartment. I'd be wet every time I saw him. I'd have to get my toy out every night once I'm in bed to calm me down."
A laugh escaped Wanda's mouth. "Wow! I have to admit I've never had a boyfriend that turned me on that much. I'm impressed."
Storm sweetly at her. "So, can I wait in his room to give him his present?"
Wanda blew a breath out if her mouth. "Okay. Now you've got my curiosity going. Can you at least tell me what you're doing?"
"Can I show it to you? Can you wait ten minutes so I can show you what it is? Please?"
"Okay. This is going to be an exciting evening, that's all I know."
Storm grabbed her and gave her a huge hug. "Thank you, thank you. I knew I could count on you. He's gonna be so happy, you'll see."
She headed down the hall and into David's room and closed the door.
Oh, lord. What have I done? I'm pretty sure it's not going to happen the way she thinks it is. The end of last year was hard on him and his love of life hadn't fully returned. I'm not sure he'll be able to put up with her level of perkiness. I hope he shows some restraint because that girl's heart is going to break. Or maybe he'll unchain himself and get his rocks off, cause lord, that's what he needs.
When the ten minutes were up she got up and knocked on the door. "Storm, are you ready for me?"
"I'm ready, Wanda."
She took a huge breath. She didn't know if she was excited or filled with dread at what she was going to see. Then she opened the door. The room was filled with lit candles and Storm's sexy 18-year-old body was on display. She had on a pair of see through panties and was wearing David's favorite paisley button down shirt. The shirt was unbuttoned and left open to reveal an obscene amount of boob, even if the shirt covered most of them up.
"Well, Storm. If David can resist you, there's something wrong with him. You've outdone yourself."
She hopped up in her natural exuberance and gave Wanda another hug. "Oh, thank you, thank you. I knew I could count on you."
"Okay, okay. No need for that."
"Do you think... he can resist me? I'm still a virgin but I... I hope he'll be the one."
"Well, you have my vote. I guess we'll see. It just hit 8:00, so he'll be home in fifteen minutes. I'm going to take care of some chores but as soon as he gets home I'll steer him toward his room. Good luck, Storm."
"Thank you, Wanda."
She left the room and headed toward the living room but decided it was too much to take. She was dying to see how it would unfold. So she went out to sit on a lawn chair waited for him to get home. Time seemed to move at a glacial pace and she still had no idea what she was going to say or if she'd possibly say nothing at all. No, she wouldn't do that to him. Finally, finally she heard footsteps coming up the sidewalk.
I made the last turn and headed toward our apartment. I'd wrapped up my karate class at eight and made the fifteen-minute walk home. I took a whiff of my sweaty body. Eh, kinda stinky. Does it offend? Tough noogies. Wonder if Wanda was home? We were pretty good friends, almost brother and sister, but that didn't take into account the feelings I had for her way down deep. Someday, someday I'd find the courage to open up. Or I could chicken out like I always have.
Ten feet and I'd be home. I turned the corner in thought and walked up the stairs. Low and behold there was someone sitting on our deck. "Wanda, baby! Just the girl I was looking for. Are you free? I was hoping I could convince you to go get something to eat. My treat."
She flushed red and covered her face. "Shit!"
"Shit? That's not very nice. Can you do better than that or am I in the doghouse again?"
She patted the chair next to her and I got the message, so I came over and sat down. "Am I in trouble? What did I do now?"
She held her finger to her lips to get me to be quiet and whispered. "We have only about five minutes to talk. I would love to go get something to eat but something's come up that you need to take care. It might take you five minutes or an hour or two depending how... much stamina you have. You catch my drift?"
"I'd almost think you were propositioning me but I don't think that's what you're saying. So I understood about five percent of what you said."
She leaned over and put a peck on my cheek. "You're a butthead, you know that?"
"God, I love when you talk dirty to me."
She reached up and pinched my earlobe then pulled me closer "Someone brought you a gift and she's waiting in your room."
"My gift is a she? Animal, vegetable, or an actual person? Hey, is this a gift from you to me?" I said with a leer.
She let out a huge sigh. "No, not from me. I honestly don't know what you're going to
do with this gift. It's a gift from your neighbor and the gift is your neighbor."
My mouth dropped open and no doubt a whole gamut of emotions crossed my face. "Mmmm, is this a gift for all three of us?" I said with a wink. "Baby. Sex kitten. Princess of the Night. Let's go, Wanda. Let's go expand our horizons." As I stood up and tugged on her hand.
She tugged on my hand and pulled me back to my chair. "I don't know whether to smack you or make you sleep in your car. You can make your own decision when you go in there. But if it's not going to happen, that little girl's heart's gonna break."
I tried to see the humor but if it was who I thought it was, there was no way I could put up with the amount of energy our neighbor put out. I gave a sigh and admitted to myself I just needed get this over with. "Hey, can I just turn around and come back tomorrow?"
"No, way buddy. This is your present, not mine. Plus I'm dying to see what happens."
"Sometimes I feel like I was just put here for your amusement."
"It does, doesn't it?"
"Well, if I can get you to smile, then I'm doing my job." Then my humor ran away from my face.
"David?"
"Listen, I'll do what needs to be done but I've never played a convincing bastard. I'm sure the more practice I have, the more convincing I'll be." as I stood up and without a look backwards went inside. "Wish me luck."
She wasn't sure what just happened but she knew it wasn't going to be good. With quite a bit of curiosity she went inside, slipped down to her room and sat beside her door. She was hoping to either hear their conversation or listen to a lot moans and groans from the next room.
Finally, I took a breath and headed down the hall to my door. Without hesitation I opened it and went inside and left the door open. I wasn't going to deny Wanda the chance to eavesdrop if that's what she wanted to do.
My mouth opened wide when I went in. There must've been fifteen candles in my room and the smoke irritated my sinuses. And there was our neighbor in my bed wearing a slinky pair of panties and my favorite button down shirt. Why is life so complicated?
I grabbed the chair at my desk and turned it around so I could sit with my arms on the seat back. "Storm, you are one of the prettiest girls I know. And lord knows you look incredibly sexy lying there. Is there some special occasion I wasn't told about?"
"I wanted to give you a present."
"What's that?"
"Me." She squeeked out. "I want you to be my first. No-ones treats me the way you do. You're... caring and a gentleman and you don't treat me like any of the guys I've known. You... you don't look at me like I'm a snack and you don't undress me with your eyes and I can tell that you enjoy spending time with me." With that she started crying, because deep down her subconscious realized nothing was going to happen. "Please, David. Don't make me beg. Can't you love me like I love you?" As tears rolled down her face.
"I do enjoy spending time with you and you make me smile every time I see you. You're irrepressible, probably the most sincere and nicest person I know, and coming where I'm from there aren't very many around. But there's an obstacle to everything we've talked about--I'm in love with somebody and I think she's the one. I hope she sees it the same way or my heart's going to be pretty broken."
"We could still have something. Please. I won't tell and she doesn't have to know."
"I have to stop you there. My father's cheated on my mother five or six times. So cheating and adultery honestly make me furious. That's why he and I aren't speaking. So I suggest you not make that offer again or we won't be speaking at all."
"I know this isn't how you envisioned this happening but I'm sorry, it wasn't going to end any other way. Come give me a hug goodbye then you can go home and wrap up your day. Come on."
She hopped up and came to give me a crushing hug. It took all my will power to not think about this young body hugging me, wearing my shirt open in the front, her breasts crushed into me. Then with tears flowing she ran down the hall and out the front door.
"Well, I'm going to hell."
Yes, you are." Wanda spoke from the doorway.
