"Here's to us and our new apartment," I said to my live in girlfriend, Sarah, and raised my glass of Merlot in a toast. We had just finished unpacking all the boxes that accompanied us from our old, drafty two-story house across town.
We had really gotten lucky with this place, the building was only a few years old and well insulated. Although the rent was more, what we saved in utilities would compensate for that.
It was a lovely, spacious apartment on the eighth floor that boasted a large living room, two bedrooms, a dining room, well-lit kitchen and comfortable bathroom.
That night we made small talk as we dined on the sofa eating on Styrofoam plates and then retired to bed for a quick but thorough bout of lovemaking.
Two weeks passed and everything was back to normal, with myself working the seven am to three- thirty shift while Sarah worked evenings. I resumed my routine of weight lifting on Monday, Wednesday and Friday afternoons with a morning jog of three miles the following morning. I would run every day but it leaves me too drained to lift, after getting up at four thirty in the morning.
I arrived at the gym on Monday, and the hot, humid air hit me like a brick in the face. Kentucky always has had really brutal humidity, especially in the late summer months. Even one week after Labor Day, it was still really intense.
I had finished stretching and started my upper body workout when I noticed a really attractive redhead staring at me. She was at the stair stepper, sweating and breathing heavily. She had her red hair pulled back in a ponytail and wore matching black spandex shorts and a halter-top. I noted her small, firm tits and her tight, round ass that sat atop her lean muscular thighs. She didn't look very tall, maybe five two or five three at the most.
I quickly forgot about her and went back to my workout. I moved over and started my bicep curls. I held a thirty-five pound barbell in each hand and curled one and then the other. I watched myself in the mirror to ensure I had the proper form to get maximum efficiency. It was then that I noticed that she was behind me staring again while she ran on the inclined treadmill.
I was tall, muscular and fairly attractive so I wasn't totally unaccustomed to being gawked at by women or men, for that matter, but this chick wasn't staring lustfully. The look in her eyes was one of familiarity. I had never lain eyes on this woman before in my life!
I made up my mind then and there that when I finished that set of curls, I was going to approach her.
I finished my curls and there she was at the water fountain, getting a drink. So I made my approach.
"I guess you're wondering why I was staring at you the way I was," she said in a low, soft voice.
"Yes, actually, I was," I said trying to act cool and calm.
"I live in the building across from you, eighth floor also. You're the guy with the big cock that walks around his apartment with his blinds open," she said with a grin but no hint of embarrassment, "By the way, my name's Carmen".
I was, for once in my life, speechless! I couldn't see how anyone could have been able to tell that I was naked. "I am so embarrassed by this. It's always still dark when I get out of bed naked and walk through the apartment. I never would have dreamed that someone would be awake, let alone be watching," I said with a crimson face. "Oh, and I'm Chris," I added even more embarrassed than before.
"Oh, you certainly have nothing to be embarrassed about, big boy," she said and glanced towards my groin then back up my six foot four frame back into my eyes. "Besides, I am a bit of a voyeur," a sinister grin formed on her face.
I felt the flush of embarrassment transform to a flush of pride as my cock tingled and hardened.
"If you're finished here maybe we could have a cup of coffee at Max & Emma's and get acquainted," she said as she slipped her gym bag over her shoulder.
"Oh, that would be great. I was just about to leave anyway," I lied through my teeth, "Just let me get my stuff."
I sat at our table, staring out the window when Carmen returned from the restroom, "Did you order yet?" she asked.
"Oh yeah, you wanted an iced cappuccino, right?" I said and returned to reality. I had been sitting there wondering what else this beautiful creature had witnessed from her side of my window.
Our coffee arrived and we both thanked the waitress. I picked up my French vanilla cappuccino and swirled it in the cup since it was too hot for my tender palate to consume yet.
We each had one more drink and made small talk about our workout regimens and such, passing time.
After we discussed the weather, the Kentucky Wildcats new football coach and the recent loss to the University of Louisville on the football field, Carmen said she had work to do at home and wrote something down on a post it note and handed it across the table to me.
"Here's my Yahoo address so we can keep in contact without that pretty little girlfriend of yours getting upset," she said with a glimmer of mischief in her beautiful hazel eyes. "You do have Yahoo don't you?"
The yellow note had her yahoo ID.
"Yes, I do, I use it to talk to my sister in Charlotte, North Carolina," I said wondering what thoughts were swimming around that pretty little head of hers.
"I'll be home tonight if you want to chat," she said as she got up and placed a ten and a five on the table, "Let me get this. I invited you, and besides you're new to the neighborhood." Then she left the café and headed up the street and out of view.
Walking through the door I checked the messages on the phone and there was only one, from Sarah. She said she might be a little late and to not wait for her. I was hungry and went to the kitchen. After dining on some stir-fry, pineapple chunks, chicken, vegetables and fried rice, I decided to check my email.
Upon logging in, I retrieved the yellow note and added Carmen. If she was there she must have been invisible. I didn't really have anything meaningful in my inbox except some pictures of my niece via my sister's new digital camera. Other than that it was just emails informing me how I can add three inches to my penis overnight, or an opportunity to watch hot, horny wives fuck farm animals for FREE!
After finishing this task, I decided to shower and maybe shave. Tomorrow being my day to run, I wouldn't have time to shave in the morning. I showered, dressed in a pair of boxers and a tank top. Entering the living room I noticed a light on over at Carmen's apartment so I decided to say fuck the television and see if she is online. Nothing but a bunch of irritating reality shows anyway.
I logged in and not 10 seconds afterwards I got a message from Carmen, she was invisible because it showed her offline:
Carmen: Did u have a nice shower, big boy (smiley with tongue)
Chris: So you were watching
Carmen: Of course
Carmen: Its a shame that my telescope can't see thru walls
Carmen: LOL
Chris: u already seen all the merchandise newayz
Carmen: maybe I like the merchandise (wink)
Carmen: step over to the window and get naked for me (grinning devil)
Chris: (surprised face)
Chris: r u shittin me?
Carmen: NO
