My neighbor's been away, and she's asked me to look after her house for her. She's been away for a week now, and is supposed be back next week. For some context, I'm in my early 50s, and keep myself in shape. She's probably mid-30s and is always looking good. She has a nice and tidy place with a comfy looking bed.
Like I've already done a couple of times in the week, I go next door to her house to check on things. I open the door, and head in. Hey... is that the running water I hear? WTF, I hope the plumbing hasn't gone. It is water. I run to the bathroom and **WHOA** she's home. She's just gotten back and is taking a shower.
We're both shocked. Neither of us expected one another.
But, she's currently hidden behind the shower curtain. I stammer out an apology, "Sorry, I thought you were away for a few more days... I was just checking on your place for you... I, I, Um, sorry..."
She laughs and thanks me for being so good at looking after her place. She says she had a great trip, but came home early.
I'm having a bit of an out-of-the-body-moment. I realize I'm still standing at her bathroom door, and she's naked in the shower. I can see her partly through the edge of the shower curtain that isn't quite pulled all the way. I catch a glance. Trying not too... but curiosity is getting the better of me.
She sees me looking. Then surprises both of us by pulling the curtain open more.
