The next morning Carly woke early. She stayed in bed until she couldn't stand it anymore then got up. She couldn't stop thinking about the fact that her neighbor, Ben, had watched her masturbating out on her back porch the night before. She wondered if he thought she had done it because she knew he was out there. No, he would have to guess that she didn't know he was there. Still she lingered over her shower and coffee until she knew they wouldn't see each other that morning and she was almost late for work.
Carly wondered if Ben had been turned on by what he'd seen and heard the night before. She had always thought he was attractive, and one morning when his car had a flat she'd given him a ride to work, but they'd never gone out together. She tried to lose herself in busy work, but she kept coming back to the thought of Ben watching her as she teased and pinched her nipples and stroked her clit. Part of her wished he had come through the gate and joined her. It would have been so much more satisfying...
She could hear the phone ringing as she unlocked the door that evening. Carly knew before she even picked it up that it was Rick. "Baby, I'm sorry... " he began.
She cut him off. "Don't even try, Rick. I don't want to hear it this time. I told you the last time...."
"Carly, let me make it up to you. You know it'll be good." he tried again. But she hung up the phone. She really didn't want to talk to him. She had believed his excuses the first two times he'd stood her up like that, but this time was it!
After picking at a salad for awhile, Carly decided it was just too hot to eat. Maybe she could get some work done. She laid the files she'd brought from work out on the table and buried herself in them. She lifted her head, startled, when the doorbell rang.
Her imagination ran away with her as she walked over to the door. Maybe it was Ben. After thinking about him all day, she hoped he had been thinking about her, too. She thought of opening the door and seeing him standing there. Stepping toward him as he walked through the door and wrapped his arms around her, kissing her passionately, one hand entwined in her hair, the other caressing her hip and moving around to cup her butt and pull her tightly to him, whispering how much he wanted her, last night was more than he could stand, he had to have her...
Carly looked through the little peek hole. It was Rick. She opened the door about halfway, but made no move to let him in. "What are you doing here?" she asked him, annoyed. "I thought I'd made it clear that I'm not interested in talking to you."
"Oh, come on, Carly. You know you still want me. I can make last night up to you, just give me a chance." He took a half step toward her.
