Life for Adam seemed to stop. He remained kneeling on the floor by the keyhole with his sperm gently trickling down his thigh. He could see the woman of his fantasies approaching but knew that this time he was caught. This time it would be all over. The woman would scream and attract the attention of neighbours. The police would arrive and soon Adam would be branded a pervert and locked up in hospital full of dirty sticky men all with semen gently trickling down their legs. As Adam contemplated his bleak future, Rachel finally reached the door pulling it open to reveal her upstairs neighbour.
Adam braced himself for the worse but was surprised, after a few seconds, to hear nothing. He lifted his head and looked into the face of the beautiful woman and with tremendous astonishment realised that she was in fact smiling. Her smile was piercingly beautiful and for minutes he could not but bask in its glory. Slowly, the woman presented to him her hand which he gingerly took and allowed himself to be led into the room, hearing the door click behind him.
'Do you enjoy listening and watching me?'
'I ... I ... I'm so sorry; you must think I'm sick'
'Why should I think you are sick; Is what I do sick?'
"No, no of course not ... I think its beautiful.'
'Beautiful? Well that's an interesting description. How long have you been spying on me?'
'Since I first heard you. Months ago.'
"Months! And why, may I ask, have you never spoken to me in all this time?'
'I couldn't. I froze every time I saw you. I've wanted to ... but I just couldn't.'
