For a better understanding of the characters and their mindsets please read Chapter 1. For those of you that have and provided comments, after reading Chapter 1 thank you. The rest of the chapters will be submitted daily for review and hopefully for publication. I would suggest reading through at least Chapter 4 before making your final decision on whether to continue to read all 9 chapters.

It is the first time she has lived totally independent and she finds the freedom intoxicating, add in a charismatic neighbor and you have recipe for trouble.
Chapter 2
Base on what I could see from the camera outside of Frankie's apartment, Jason and her continued to have a friendly relationship saying hi when they crossed paths at the complex. He did call her on the Tuesday after that weekend. I could hear Frankie's part of the conversation and heard her tell him they couldn't go out. Frankie went on to tell Jason that what they did was a mistake, she was drunk and most importantly she is married and it can't or won't happen again. As far as I knew there were no other inappropriate contacts.
Over the next six weeks nothing appeared to be happening, at least at her apartment. She came home on weekends and when she couldn't I went there. I even attended two of the BBQs and had a great time. I will say the first one I attended Jason kept his distance from me but whenever he had the chance I would observe him talking with Frankie. As soon as he noticed me looking he would walk away but not before rubbing her shoulder or squeezing her arm. During the second BBQ, which was this past weekend, I had a decent conversation with group of the other tenants that included Jason, mainly talking business and sports but as during the first one Jason kept on checking out Frankie and speaking to her every chance he had. What bothered me some was it appeared to me Frankie at times was flirting with him. I just assumed it was the alcohol but was a little bothered by what I observed. I never got around to asking her what they were talking about.
Frankie and I always had a great time and great sex when together so I felt pretty good of how things were going. The seventh weekend after the incident Frankie was to come home to attend a function hosted by my biggest client. During our nightly call on Wednesday before that weekend we talked about her coming home but she informed me she wasn't going to be able to due to some problems at work and she would be working all day on Saturday. I was a little surprised about this since when I was up there the week before she mentioned how well the project was going and her bosses were happy that the project was ahead of schedule.
I was disappointed because Frankie was always a good ambassador for my company at functions like this. I changed the subject and told her, "I really enjoyed talking with all your neighbors last weekend, even Jason."
She said, "I haven't seen any of them since last weekend, but I am sure you made a good impression."
"You haven't seen any of them, not even Jason? Speaking of Jason you two seemed to be having a very spirited conversation at the BBQ. What were you talking about?" I asked.
She said, "He has been trying to get me to go to lunch with him to pitch some financial products to me for us."
"The only thing he wants to pitch is Jason to you and I am not talking about financial products," I responded. "Have you gone to lunch with him?" I asked.
She hesitated and then said, "I was running an errand to the bank this morning and ran into him as he was leaving for lunch and he asked me to join him and I did. I didn't want to be rude."
I asked, "What did the two of you talk about?"
She said, "Just general things."
I then asked, "Did he bring up your time with him at your apartment?"
Frankie sounded a little perturb that I would ask that and said, "No he didn't, he was a gentleman and never has brought up what happened the night after the BBQ."
I went on, "Speaking of the BBQ are planning on attending without me?"
She said, "I'm not sure since I will be working Saturday." She then asked, "Do you think I should attend?"
I asked, "Why shouldn't you?"
She said, "I do not want to put myself in a vulnerable position, after what happened the last time."
I asked her, "Are you concerned about being at the BBQ with Jason without me being there?"
She admitted she was and said, "I am attracted to Jason. He is handsome, very personable and makes me laugh."
I then asked her, "Do you want something to happen".
She just answered, "No, I don't think so, maybe."
I really didn't like the answer so I told her, "If you have doubts about being around him then don't go don't put yourself in that situation." I went on to say, "I don't understand why there would be any doubt about what you would do. We shouldn't even be having this conversation."
Frankie responded, "That is not fair, you said you wanted me to be truthful and I am being truthful, would you rather have me lie about my feelings?"
"I would rather you not have any of those feelings towards Jason, at all. I am done talking about him. I will call tomorrow", and hung up.
Needless to say I was worried about the weekend but couldn't do anything about it. I never told Frankie about the cameras but I reviewed the footage every day. There really wasn't a lot to watch as the cameras were motion activated and she was gone about 12 hours a day and slept another 8. The juiciest thing I saw about once a week was Frankie masturbating. I always enjoyed watching and usually got off about the same time she did. After our call I watched her live and she put on quite the show she actually got off twice and did it with the lights on. I wasn't sure if it was our call or her lunch or our conversation about Jason that got her extra excited.
I was just getting ready to turn it off when her phone rang. She looked at the caller ID then in a perky voice said, "Jason why the call". I couldn't hear his side of the conversation but I heard her say, "I really enjoyed our lunch and conversation today as usual." I was a little curious about the as usual comment, it sounded like this wasn't their first lunch date. Frankie went on to say, "I am looking forward to the BBQ and be sure to have plenty of Mojitos." I watched her expression as she hung up the phone. She had a devious smile on her face and then she proceeded to spread her legs wide and get off for the third time that night. I knew then that I would most likely be getting a call that weekend asking for permission to be naughty.
We spoke again on Thursday she was still non-committal on attending the BBQ. Of course I knew differently. She knew when I mentioned the BBQ I was actually asking about Jason as the two will always be associated with each other and her one night of indiscretion. Before my call on Friday I had a cocktail meeting with clients and got home late so I turned on the cameras and caught her masturbating again. Twice in one week this was a first. I thought I would wait till she was almost at her climax and call her. When the phone rang she looked at the caller ID and said, "Fuck!" really loud and stopped jilling off and answered the phone.
She was breathing hard so I asked, "You sound out of breath, what is going on?"
She said, "Nothing silly just doing some yoga before going to bed."
I again asked, "Have you decided if you will attend the BBQ?"
She answered, "Not sure about the BBQ, but might stop by for a bit after I get off work."
During our call she looked down at her phone and I suspected she was getting a call but she didn't say anything. After our brief call she said she had to get to sleep as she had a full day at work tomorrow. We said our goodbyes. She immediately dialed a number and said, "Hi Jason saw you called, sorry I didn't pick up, I was speaking with Michael." She was still naked and started circling her clit with her middle finger as they spoke. She told him, "Michael will not be able to make it tomorrow due to that function I mentioned the other day." She also went on to tell him, "I have to go in to work at least a half a day tomorrow, if I don't I would feel like I was lying to Michael." She was listening and then said, "I know it's a technicality, but it will make me feel better, don't worry I will be there when the BBQ starts around 2pm."
After she hung up she finished what I interrupted earlier. She was very aggressive more so than normal bringing her knees to her chest and finger fucking herself. Usually she only rubs her clit to get off. She eventually brought herself to a massive climax. The little white lies were piling up and I was starting to get pissed but was willing to play it out to see what might happen.
She called around noon on Saturday to see what was going on. During our conversation she asked in a subtle way if I was going to be able to get away and come up to visit. I told her, "I can if you really want me to, but I would have to cancel my attendance at the function with my very important client though."
She said, "Don't do that I am going to have to work late anyway and I will be fine."
She almost sounded relieved when I said I wasn't going to be able to make it. I asked about the BBQ again and she said I might stop by late after I get off work but don't plan on staying. I told her if she did attend to have fun but be good. She just said, "Do I have to be good?"
I shot back, "Are you asking for permission not to be?"
She stammered a little bit but said, "I will call later."
