Preethi's perspective -
I didn't have much to complain about in my life. I had a good childhood with loving parents. I was educated well. I married well, and had a husband who provided adequately. And to top it off an adorable baby. I never quite missed anything at all in life. Till I moved to Bangalore and had Akshay as my neighbor.
I had fantasized about guys before. But all of the guys before Akshay were just that... fantasies. They were mostly movie stars and maybe a college stud once in a while who caught my fancy. But these people did not play any real role in my life. I imagined them doing the dirtiest things to me... but that was all in my head. I never had to face them on a daily basis, or contend with conversing with them while getting goosebumps all over. Akshay changed all that. He was movie-star handsome. With charm to match. And any fantasy that played in my mind just seemed so real everytime I saw Akshay.
After months of playing darting-eyes, and rapid-blushes and shy-smiles with Akshay, things heated up last month when I got a look at his dazzling body. It was all I had imagined. Groomed, fit, attractive... and just about 10 meters away for me. But oh so far...
I will never forget that foreplay that we had... with erotic charges enveloping us across the street that separated our windows. Every move of his was so graceful... The way he'd removed his towel... the way his penis had risen to life... the way he'd pumped and humped with his hips moving gracefully. The things he'd prompted me to do. I had never pleasured myself before with a guy watching me. While I hadn't stripped for him the way he'd for me (and I wish I had, it was only fair), I had never given a show like that to a guy before.
We'd come along some way since that day. I had talked to him for a bit, which by my history of talking to unrelated guys was a lot. We'd exchanged email ids and had taken up chatting. Conversations with him were always so delightful. He was so indulgent in his praises. I couldn't imagine a stunning guy like him ever liking such an.... Indian... desi... girl as myself. Turns out "desi" isn't as derogatory as the world makes it sound. With all the negative connotations imposed on the word, it has the allure of the mysterious to it. Plus Akshay said I had a great taste in clothes. My blouses fit me extremely well and my sarees always accentuated the best parts of my body. More so when I was alone at home. That was true I guess. And besides, I had a great body, if Akshay was to be believed. Oh that Akshay has a way with words. He makes compliments about my breasts and waist and back and neck sound like poetry. That's despite him never actually having seen my naked breasts. He claims the contours through my blouse strike up an excellent visual in his mind.
But I am so different than his girlfriend... That Shruti. She's an air-hostess... glamorous like supermodel. Toned like one as well. Tall. Assertive. Confident. Maybe I should feel jealous of her. But I honestly don't. It's not as if Akshay is exclusively mine and I don't want to share him. I actually revel in the fact that a dream guy like Akshay actually finds me as attractive and sexual as a girl who I'd normally find intimidating if I ever had a run in with her. That itself boosted my confidence so much. Oh well, I bet a feminist must be cringing somewhere seeing a woman define her confidence by the appreciation of a guy. A neighbor no less. A neighbor for who I have a very illicit attraction going. Screw that feminist.
Where has Akshay gone, I wondered as I sat on the computer, breaking away from the reverie of the past that led up to this moment. I was chatting with him... no it wasn't a video chat... and he wasn't shagging for me on the cam this time. It was a plain simple, friendly conversation. Oh there he is, I thought as my chat window showed him to be typing something.
"Shruti's here," he said.
"Aww," I typed in along with a sad emoticon. "Does that mean you have to go?"
"Well yes. We don't waste a night that Shruti spends in town with me," He typed with a smiley face inserted in the end.
