It was a hot Saturday afternoon and I was just moving into a new apartment building. I had chosen an apartment in the back of the building, because I really enjoy my privacy, but that meant a lot of walking to carry all my stuff in. It was a very hot day and I was beginning to sweat profusely. My tight shirt and shorts were beginning to stick to my body.
As I was rounding the corner, I ran right into a fellow resident. I stammered out my apology as I began to pick up my belongings. As I stood, I noticed he was staring at my chest. I began to cover myself and looked away. He touched my arm and offered to help me with the box. I looked down at the ground and thanked him. I led the way to my new apartment and unlocked the door and moved aside so he could carry the box inside.
Once inside he asked me for a drink and I laughed and said, "I haven't been to the store yet so all I have is water. Is that all right?"
He smiled a smile that made my heart flutter and said, "water is fine. My name is Charlie. What's yours?"
I smiled nervously and said, "Oh I'm sorry my name is Betsy."
He drank his water and was about to leave when he turned to me and said, "Would you like me to help you carry in some more boxes?"
I smiled at him and said, "Yes, I would appreciate that Charlie."
When we had finished unloading the boxes from my car he asked if there was anything else he could do. I thought about it and asked, "are you sure you don't have plans for the afternoon? It's much too beautiful a day to spend helping a stranger move."
He laughed and said, "Betsy, I wouldn't have offered if I had plans. So come on. Let me help you move in."
I finally agreed and we set off to my old apartment. We made several trips to my old apartment and finally finished about 7:00 p.m. On the last trip into my new apartment I kicked the door closed behind me and sat on the sofa looking at all the boxes I had to unpack. I looked up and Charlie was handing me a bottle of water. I smiled up at him and said, "Thanks." Then he plopped down on the sofa beside me.
All day long we had talked easily but now on my sofa I felt exposed and it didn't have anything to do with me being braless. I kept trying to cover my chest so that my nipples weren't so visible. I hoped he didn't notice what I was doing.
After we caught our breath he asked,"Well Betsy, I helped you move in. So I would like you to jump in the shower and then go out to dinner with me? I will go do the same and meet you back here in 30 minutes. Okay?"
I smiled and said, "Charlie that isn't necessary I should be taking you out to dinner or at least buying you a pizza. How about we eat in instead? You go shower and meet me back here in a little while. I really don't want to go out tonight." We finally agreed and he left to shower and change.
As soon as he was out the door I ran for the shower. I excitedly lathered myself. I had to admit I was looking forward to Charlie returning it had been a long time since I had been on a date. I wasn't sure whether to consider this a date or just two neighbors having a pizza together. I had a hard time deciding what to wear. Should I dress to impress, to seduce, or just be comfortable? I finally decided a little of each. I slipped into my favorite skirt and blouse. I was just finishing my hair when Charlie knocked on my door.
I ran to get the door and he stood there. He was so handsome in his casual shirt and jeans. He was carrying a bottle of wine. I was glad I had chosen what I did. He smiled and let out a soft whistle. He said, "you look too nice to stay in, are you sure you don't want to go out?"
I looked down and said, "really I would prefer to stay in."
We ordered a pizza and settled on the sofa to relax. We made small talk as we waited on the pizza to be delivered. We found out that we liked the same type of DVD's. So I asked if he wanted to watch one while we ate. He agreed and helped me find the box with the DVD's in it. He then stumbled across my collection of adult DVD's. Then he said, "WOW, I didn't know girls liked these too!"
I blushed and stammered, "It's ah . . . um . . . ah research."
"Research! Exactly what do you do for a living?"
I looked away from him but was saved an answer when the pizza man knocked at my door. I went to the door and was about to pay for the pizza when Charlie handed him the money from behind my back and told the driver to keep the change. He was so close I could feel his breathe on my neck. I closed the door and handed the pizza to him. I went to the kitchen to get some plates and napkins. Charlie poured the wine as I entered the livingroom. As we settled onto the sofa, he turned on the DVD player. I was surprised to see he chose a "chick flick." We ate as we began to watch the movie. He kept my glass full and we kept the conversation flowing. We didn't give the movie our full attention preferring to talk instead. He made me laugh and as the wine worked its magic I began to loosen up. We talked and laughed like old friends. He finally got me to open up and talk about myself. I told him how I had recently gotten a job here and was doing what I had always wanted to do, writing.
He laughed and said, "that explains the research. So what do you write?"
I shyly looked at the floor and said, "I write adult erotic stories."
He looked a little shocked and said, "You have to be joking, right?"
My face was beginning to turn red. I was getting angry. He didn't believe me, or was it the kind of story that shocked him. He saw my anger and leaned over and kissed me. I pulled back and stood up. I said, "Charlie, I think you need to leave and understand I enjoy what I do very much. I began writing to bring out the hidden sexual side of my personality. I am making good money and have earned the respect of my fellow writers."
