Hannah Farmer was a pretty girl. She dressed simply and wore little makeup, many people considered her a plain girl. Ryan thought it added to her charm and made her even more likable.
While he generally kept his feeling closer to his chest, but when the opportunity to go over to her house appeared he jumped on it. Hannah Farmer had been out for a few days, the general consensus was that it was covid but then Mrs. Whalmer had asked for volunteers to bring the class-and-home-work over to her house. When it came to asking for volunteers Ryan had thrown up his hand so fast he was sure that it had popped out of joint.
Armed with the schoolwork and a bowl of chicken noodle soup from Granny Mae's, Ryan walked down the street. Growing more and more nervous and losing confidence as he got closer.
Why did I bring the soup? He started to bemoan. That was so lame of me, I mean how forward right? So transparent, so pathetic.
The self-hating tirade continued up until he came in front of the house.
While it looked like every other house on the street, Ryan saw the little patches of life. He saw the maple tree, saw the flower garden, saw the birdfeeder, he saw the little parts that would have made the woman he loved into the woman she was today.
That thought gave him strength and he powered over to the door. Making sure the address was the same as the one Mrs Whalmer written down, he looked over. There was no button for a doorbell, instead a giant brass lion with claws outstretched was attached to the door.
Huh, Ryan thought. A knocker.
He pulled it back and brought it down, rapping against the metal underneath it, sounding throughout the house.
"Coming" He heard inside.
That voice wasn't Hannah's though. Ryan panicked as he realized someone else could answer the door what does he do, what does he say, something about the knocker. What a nice knocker. Coolest knocker he had ever seen.
Ryan and Hannah had never much of a one-on-one, in fact it was rare when they had an opportunity to speak so Ryan was gonna put it all on the line and make his fantasy a reality.
"Hello?" A woman called out opening the door and filling the doorway.
Ryan felt his eyes grow bigger as well as something else.
"Nice knockers."
The woman that opened the door was beautiful. Her face was bright and pretty, similar to Hannah's though more mature and with more makeup. Her clothes were far from Hannah's though, while Hannah usual like more simple and conservative wear, the woman answering the door did not. Her sloping tank top which gave a generous view of her breasts and tiny sports shorts was what she wore. Her breasts already given free rein were also huge barely staying contained in the top. Her thighs spilled out of her shorts, Ryan felt his eyes beginning to get lost in her body.
"Hello?" She repeated again, a small pleasant smile on her face. Something else in her eyes.
"Oh, sorry, I'm Ryan, Hannah's classmate. Here with her schoolwork." Hoping to God that she hadn't heard him the first time, Ryan began his introduction.
"Also, brought soup to help with, you know, her cold."
Ryan saw the woman start to frown slightly, a more unsure gaze in her eyes.
"I was hoping I could bring this up to her room, you know." Ryan started feeling bolder. "And help her study."
"Sure, help my sister," the lady began, a bemused smile starting to form. "She needs all the help she can get. Second floor, on the right."
Ryan could've hoot and hollered for joy right then and there. After a small scolding for trying to go upstairs with his shoes on, he was off.
The door already open, Ryan tried to pace himself before coming in. A shine appearing in his heart at the future he could have with it. Fate was with him, he thought as he turned and entered the room.
Empty.
Ryan slightly frowned. All across was evidence that Hannah lived here. There was her bed, a small table still had papers on it from past schoolwork, a desk with a computer on it. Everything was there but Hannah.
"She's went on a trip with her boyfriend."
Ryan turned as Hannah's sister came in the room. Ryan nodded dumbly before placing the bags on the table.
"Care if I have at the soup?" She asked, already making her way over to it.
"Sure, it's Granny Mae's", he replied, not really listening anymore. Hannah had a boyfriend. Not only a boyfriend but one that took her on trips. One where she would play hooky for, that kind of boyfriend.
"I love Granny Mae's. Hadn't the time to go there since I've been back from college." He heard from the table as he turned and looked around the room again.
"You should try their new pecan pie, it's real good. He felt his voice robotic.
Ryan spied something on the bed and even thought he was aware of good manners his current emotional state let him go and touch stuff that wasn't his. Hidden slightly by the covers, he picked it up.
Golden foil on the outside a small ring-shaped bump in the center, he knew what it was as he touched it.
A condom.
"A condom," he said numbly and softly.
