Chapter 2
It rained all day Wednesday, so I didn't see Anna hanging around in her back yard. Thank goodness. I wasn't sure I could look her in the eyes. I was a little embarrassed that I'd seen her naked in my house. I was even more embarrassed that I'd pleasured myself to her pleasuring herself. With the poor weather, I spent the whole day inside working on my projects.
Thursday was sunny again. Around noon, I took a break to eat lunch and take Bob outside. Predictably, Anna was outside sunning. Rather than the usual bikini, she was wearing short shorts and a tank top that was pulled up to expose her midriff. When I came outside with Bob, she hopped out of her chair and walked over. "Hi Grant!" she said with her smile. Her top unfolded itself as she walked, sliding down just past her navel.
"Hi Anna. Thanks for taking care of Bob."
"Oh, no problem. He's a good boy." She looked down at him. "Aren't you Bob?" Bob drooled in agreement.
"Well, I'm glad you think that. I may need you to watch him more in the future. I'll probably be taking another trip soon."
Her eyes lit up. "Really? Cool, that's great. I can totally watch him."
She sat with me as I ate my lunch, and she asked me to talk about Bob as a puppy, which I was happy to talk about. My ex-wife had brought him home for us, kind of on a whim. But, having never owned a dog before in her life, she was woefully unprepared for dog-parenthood. She never wanted to feed him or clean up after him, so it fell to me. I bonded closely with my little puppy, and since he knew I'd take care of him, he followed me around everywhere.
Then Linda got upset when Bob loved me more than her, and listened to me but not her. Bob wasn't really the reason Linda left me, but perhaps he was a symptom of the larger problem. He helped me realize that Linda was immature and self-centered, shortly before she left me. After learning I had to pay alimony, I selfishly hoped Linda would marry her new guy, but he ended up leaving her, so the alimony payments continued, as her own salary was fairly pathetic.
"What about you and your mom?" I asked Anna. "Did you ever have a dog?"
"No, my dad was allergic, so we couldn't have one. But maybe we can now, since he's gone."
"I'm sorry to bring him up. And I don't know if your mom will let you have a dog. But you're welcome to play with Bob." Bob's ears perked up at hearing his name, and he gave me a wide dog-grin. I looked at Anna and she was grinning too. I tried to push all thoughts of her naked body out of my mind and think of her as my friend.

I was sipping on a beer with Olivia on Saturday afternoon. Now that we'd had dinner a few times, we had become closer neighbors and friends. We were having normal chit-chat, when she said something that perked my attention.
"Can you help me move some furniture tomorrow? Anna said she wants to switch her bedroom to the other side of the house."
"Huh? Why?"
Olivia shrugged. "I don't know. We've been here for six months, and all of a sudden she wants to switch to the other room, the one we've been using as a guest room." She took a sip from her beer. "I told her she could, since I can't think of a reason not to. But if you can help us move some furniture, it would go a lot easier."
I tried to think of reasons not to, but I couldn't. Moreover, I kind of owed them a favor after Anna took care of Bob. So I nodded. "Sure, I can help. What time do you want me over?"
"Say, about 1:00? After lunch? If it goes longer than a few hours, I'll buy dinner."
It's hard to say no to a free dinner with friends. Even if you've seen one masturbate on your bed. "No problem. 1:00. I'll be there."

I had never been on the second floor of Olivia's house before. But when I got to the top of the stairs, I immediately saw the immensity of the move, and the need for me to help out. Anna and Olivia were switching all the furniture between two bedrooms, so the hall was littered with furniture that had been dragged from both rooms. Both women had on older t-shirts, comfortable for working. Olivia was wearing flattering yoga pants, and Anna had on a pair of skin-tight denim shorts.
Anna's old room had been on the front corner of the house, on the side facing away from my house. She was moving to the complete opposite corner. The new bedroom, formerly the guest room, had two windows. One faced the rear of the house, overlooking the garden. The other faced my house.
As I was helping Olivia drag Anna's dresser into the room, I looked over at the side-facing window. It hadn't occurred to me until that moment that I could see into my house from that window. Not just anywhere in my house, but my bedroom. Is this why Anna wanted to change rooms?
While I pondered it, Anna's voice came from behind me. "Coming through!" I turned and found her holding one of the dresser drawers, which had been taken out to make it easier to move. I looked at what was in the drawer, then immediately looked elsewhere. It was clearly her underwear. Half of it was assorted panties. The other half was bras. From the glimpse I got, I was pretty sure there was at least one Victoria's Secret tag in there. Anna seemed to notice my awkwardness and gave me a naughty grin.
While my assistance did make the work go faster, it was 7:00 by the time we had switched all of the furniture between the two rooms. Anna had directed some of our set up of her room, making sure her bed, dressers, and desk were all in satisfactory places. The guest room wasn't quite set up yet, but Olivia assured me that she and Anna would take care of it later. "Chinese food okay?" she told me, taking out her phone and calling the local restaurant.
The three of us dined on noodles, rice, beef with broccoli, and sweet and sour chicken.
Anna had told her mother that she wanted to overlook her new gardens in the backyard from her bedroom. But I was having trouble trying not to think about how her bedroom would now be visible from mine. My mind brought up the images of Anna's performances on my bed, and I was envisioning her naked teenage body sitting across the table from me. She slurped her lo mein noodles, and it made me fantasize about her slurping on my dick.
"What?" I said, suddenly aware that Olivia had said something to me.
"I said, it's been nice having you around, Grant. I'm glad we moved in next to you." Olivia slid the paper from her fortune cookie across the table so I could see it. It read 'Keep your good friends close through good and bad times.'
"Yeah, I'm glad too," I replied. I spotted the remaining two fortune cookies in the center of the table. Anna reached for them first, leaving me the last one.
Anna broke hers and read the paper to herself at first, but then read out loud, "Love becomes visible even if you don't seek it." She gave me a look. I hoped she wasn't getting ideas.
I took the last cookie and broke it. "Mine says, 'Help, I'm trapped in a fortune cookie factory.'"
Olivia laughed at my cheesy joke. "Ha ha," Anna said dryly, "what does it really say?"
"It says 'Keep an eye out for sarcastic girls.'" Anna frowned at me. "Okay, okay," I said, "it really says 'Pleasurable activities are on the horizon.' Happy now?"
Anna's frown turned into a smile, but she didn't say anything. Olivia piped up, "Well we all got good ones, huh?"

I didn't have to wait long for Anna's plan to get in motion. That very night, I closed the blinds in my bedroom, not wanting to give Anna a show as I undressed. But there was a small gap there, where if I wanted to, I could peek out and see across the yard. Anna's bedroom was dark and uninhabited at the moment.
