[4 years post-COVID]
I have lived in the same apartment for all 33 years of my life. By the time my parents died, I had a full-time job that paid enough money for me to pay the rent and cover necessary expenses, though not a lot more than that. I've seen various people come and go from the other units in the complex.
The people in the apartment directly next to mine on the left moved out a week ago. The new tenant appeared to be a single woman in her 60's.
I waited until noon the next day, then rang her doorbell. She pulled the door open to the limit of the chain and said nervously, "Hello?"
I used my most relaxing tone. "Hello. My name is Lou. I live next door to you, in unit 7."
I put my hand through the gap in the doorway, and we gently shook hands.
"Nice to meet you, dearie. I'm Tillie."
"Is there anything you need help with, Tillie?"
"Oh, no, dearie. The movers put everything in place."
"In the spirit of being neighborly, would you like me to cook you dinner at some point soon?"
"That's a nice offer, but I'd like to get to know you a bit better first."
"I could give you my phone number."
"All right."
We exchanged phone numbers, and Tillie said she liked to talk in the evenings. But not too late. So I began calling her at 6:00 in the evening every day, just to have a friendly chat.
She seemed to appreciate that, and over the course of the next six weeks, she gradually opened up to me. Her husband had been a low-level worker for a local company all his life before dying of old age a few days after his 71st birthday. She herself was 67, and had worked as a receptionist until she was essentially forced out and replaced by a younger, prettier one. She could afford this apartment and expenses, but not much more, on her Social Security and her husband's death benefits.
I told her that I'd known no other home than this, and that I, too, was just getting by. I enjoyed my life here as much as I could with my electronics to keep me busy.
"No girl in your life?"
"Nope. Last time I dated regularly was 6 years ago. She died of COVID, one of the first deaths in the country."
"Sorry to hear that, dearie."
"I'm over it now. Though I still miss her sometimes."
"So, about that dinner you mentioned... I'm ready for it. Tomorrow. I like simple things."
"6:00, then?"
"Sounds great, dearie."
At precisely 6:00 the next evening, the doorbell rang. I opened the door and welcomed Tillie inside.
"Smells good in here, Lou."
"Thanks, Tillie. I hope it tastes good as well."
I was glad to find that it did. Tillie happily consumed her hamburger patty, mashed potatoes, and side salad as we chatted. Before we knew it, our plates were empty.
"I hope you're not expecting me to tumble into bed with you now that you've fed me," Tillie said with a giggle.
The thought had never even crossed my mind. But now that she brought it up, Tillie was actually attractive. Slim build, small chest, just enough of a butt to grip, and lovely legs. Her round, smiling face was framed by her shoulder-length, pure white hair.
I wasn't much of a catch: short scruffy brown hair, a five o'clock shadow (I shave every morning because my beard grows in ugly patches), wiry without a lot of muscles, a slight paunch, and rail-thin chicken legs. And my cock wasn't anything special either. Six inches long and the ordinary thickness.
"I never do anything sexual on the first date," I told her. "But if you're interested, I could come over to your place tomorrow for dinner, and that would then be our second date."
Tillie let out a full-on laugh. "You're just teasing me, right? You can't possibly think I'm attractive."
I stood up, gestured for her to do the same, and then very pointedly ran my eyes over every inch of her.
"Tillie, you're prettier than any of the ladies my age I've dated. If you actually think I'm worthy of having sex with you, there is no way on Earth I would refuse you."
She paused for a long moment. Her eyes roamed my body. I could practically hear her judging what she saw.
"Come over tomorrow at 6 p.m. for dinner. And be prepared to spend the night."
"Yes, ma'am!"
She giggled again as I walked her to the door. Then she kissed me on the cheek and headed out, giving me a wink as she closed the door behind her.
I rang her doorbell at 6:00 the next evening, having showered and shaved half an hour before. Tillie opened it and let me in. The smells emanating from the kitchen area were fabulous.
The food was delicious, too. A meat pie with lightly steamed asparagus on the side. I complimented Tillie on her culinary skills.
After we finished our food and cleared the table, we made pit stops and headed for Tillie's bedroom. Once there, we both methodically removed all our clothes and climbed onto the bed.
"I've found it best to let the woman lead," I told Tillie.
She smiled. "Sounds good."
Then she pulled me against her and we kissed. The first kiss was gentle. The second one was lustful. Tillie hadn't had sex in eight years, as her late husband had lost his sex drive in his early sixties. Her tongue seemed to slide halfway down my throat.
"Wow," I said when we broke for air.
Tillie smiled as she ran her hands up and down my back. When her fingertips delicately slid along my spine, I shivered. I began caressing her in a similar fashion. She kissed me again and pressed her body against mine.
When she broke the kiss this time, she slid me downwards a bit. I got the hint and slowly traced my tongue between her pert breasts.
"Ooooh."
I slid my mouth to one of her nipples and gently suckled. Tillie's arms held me in place. I flickered my tongue across the tip, making her gasp slightly. Then I moved my mouth to her other nipple. She shivered and held me as firmly as she could. I could have easily gotten loose, but saw no reason to. I continued sucking on her nipples and using my tongue to tease the tips, alternating between her breasts. Tillie's moans grew more intense and after a bit, her entire body quivered.
"Good job, dearie. You just made me cum."
I smiled. My cock was already hard. Tillie reached down and put her hand on it.
"How about you make love to me now, dearie?"
She lay on her back and spread her legs invitingly. I lubed my pole with her fluids and eased my way in.
