Cassie
Cassie was exceptionally fatigued when she arrived at her apartment. She sighed appreciatively thinking how grateful she was that she lived in a downstairs unit. She could not fathom what she would do if she had to walk up a flight of stairs to get into her apartment. Just the thought alone made her body ache. She turned off her car and let her head tilt backwards and closed her eyes for a minute. Today had been one of those days. She could not wait to get in her apartment and take a nice long hot bath.
She opened her eyes and said, "Let's go." Opening the car door, she grabbed the keys from the ignition and then reached for her purse and briefcase, allowing the keys to slide into her open purse. She readjusted herself so she could slide out of her car seat. She uncomfortably pulled her purse and briefcase behind her, having to readjust her position so she would not lose her balance as she stumbled out of her car. Finding her footing, she tapped the lock button with her free hand and slammed the door closed.
Making her way to her apartment her nose was teased with some scents of a grill being prepared for the meal that would be placed on it. She could smell the hickory flavors whipping in the wind. This caused her stomach to awaken and remind her that she had not eaten since her breakfast meeting. Her stomach demanded she pay attention to it sooner than later. She made a mental note to take out the salmon to thaw while she was in the tub.

Tony
Tony sat on his balcony on a small stool watching Cassie. Her routine was so predictable. With that said, this was the best part of his day. He liked watching her.
He wondered if he would ever have the nerve to say something to her, something more than pleasantries they had always exchanged. She seemed so self-fulfilled. He was a bit intimidated by her presence, although her curves made her soft and desirable. Her nice round breast that always seemed to strain again her clothes, were firm yet seemed to stand at attention with little assistance. That beautiful smooth milk chocolate skin that covered every curvature of her body, she was a full-sized girl but she wore it well, her waist line made her ass perfectly shaped apple bottom stick out that much more.
He loved watching her walk (especially when she walked away from him) as her ass would sway back and forth. He could not recall a time in his life when he had seem a woman with such an ample ass. He imagined often how it would look while he was pounding her pussy from behind. The very thought made his cock twitch to life. Her legs were uncharacteristically tone from the stilettos she wore often. He recalled her mother saying, "That neighbor of yours is a pretty girl to be plus sized. If she lost a few pounds she would be a perfect coke bottle shape. Every man on this block would be trying to take a sip, if you know what I mean." At the time, I had just rolled my eyes, but my mother was right. This man desperately wanted a sip of her bottle.
Tony shook himself, clearing his head from his descent to the pit. She really was more than a piece of tail to him. Her voice made him want to possess her. He wanted to have her...mind, body and soul. One day she would be his. He smiled at his last thought.

"Hey, Tony smells good." Cassie said glancing up as she approaches her doorway, digging around for her keys that had slide even further into her purse in the short walk from her car to the door.
"Thanks, Cassie but I have not even put the meat on yet," he continued, "You know there's enough for you if you want some." He said half-jokingly. He was a bit shocked that he had been so aggressive. Wasn't he just wondering when he would make his move? "Oh yeah?" pulling her keys out of her purse. "I might have to take you up on that." She said chuckling.
"Well, just let me know." Tony responded.
Tony wanted her to feel what he was feeling, a sense of urgency. He knew he wanted her and he could not let this opportunity pass him by. He felt a spark. She had given him a small fan to the smoldering fire in his pants. He stood to look down at her.
Leaning his elbows on his bannister nonchalantly, "I'd be honored if you would join me. I'm sure you're too tired to cook dinner for yourself and I am already in the midst of cooking." He said flashing his best inviting smile.
"Well, sir, you do drive a hard bargain." Cassie said busying herself with trying to get the keys in the door.
"Listen, I'm about to put the steaks on the grill, the corn on the cob is seasoned on the stove and will be put on the grill around the meat to add flavor and I got a few potatoes, if you want to add a baked potatoes to the mix. All you got to do is say yes." His eyes smiled with a slight pleading in them.
She was about to decline, he could tell by her body movements so before she could form the words he said, "Look you got to eat right. No one likes to eat alone, am I right?"
"Yes, you are right, however I have a lot of work to do so I just going to make some salmon with some left over rice pilaf and a lettuce salad and call it a night." She got the door opened and straddled her threshold tilting her head to look in Tony's direction but could not see his actual body anymore.
"Okay, so your meal is already waiting for you in the house?" he prodded
"No. I have to prepare the salmon and heat up the rice and cut up the lettuce and..."
He cut her off, "My offer does not require you to do anything but eat." He smiled as if he had sealed the deal. He continued, "I promise I am a pretty good cook and my mother raised me to be the perfect gentleman"
Cassie took a few steps so she could look up at Tony and smiled, her face was so captivating. She had a cute little button nose that had a childhood scar across the bridge that could barely be seen when she wear her glasses. Her deep dark chocolate eyes were almost black. He thought he might get dizzy looking into them too long. He noticed that she had a slight dimple on her left cheek when she smiled. Cassie knew she was not going to talk him out of it so she nodded, "okay, I'll be up in about 45 minutes or so, is that enough time?" almost regretting the words as they left her mouth.
No, I will come to you. It's been a long day for you I can tell by the way you are walking. The least I can do is bring dinner to you. See you in about an hour?"
She smiled with relief, "Thanks Tony, sounds great."
"It's my pleasure, Love."

Cassie
Cassie walked into her house. Her heart was pounding fast. She had to clean up the living room and remove all the books off the table so they would have a place to eat. She thought to herself, how I really wanted that long hot bath. I better settle for a 20 minute shower and then tackle this place. She put her purse down and briefcase on the couch and leaned over to pull her pumps off starting with the right one. She sighed as her feet were relieved of the four inch heels. She smirked to herself, "what we girls go through to be cute."
~~*~~*~~*
All showered and feel a bit more relaxed she put on her SIG Series 29 t-shirt she had found in her brother's things when cleaning out her mother's attic last summer. He had forgotten all about it and said she could keep it. She loved to sleep in it because it fell just below her hips. She then pulled on her black stretch yoga pants and pulled her hair back into a messy pony tail. She washed her face and put on her Noxzema while she picked up the living room and dining table.
She thought to change her clothing once everything was to her likening but decided against it. Tony had seen her like this taking out the garbage getting the mail, no sense in trying to be something she was not. This was not a date it was just two neighbors sharing a meal. She looked at the clock she still had about 12 minutes. She walked over to her fireplace mantle and lit her three Air Wick Gentle Color Changing Candles. She had said she wanted to try them out ever since she went to Virginia's and she had her burning. Virginia had Lavender and Chamomile scented ones but when she went to the store; she like the Vanilla Indulgence scent more, so she got that those. The fragrance seeped slowly into the atmosphere. She walked over to her stereo and turned it on; pushing play the smooth musical notes of Kenny G's Silhouette filled the room. She took a deep breath and held it for a few seconds then released it. She turned and sat on the couch, leaning back and she closed her eyes.
