Damn it! This is boring!! This is what was going through Julie's mind as she sat amongst her family that included 1st and 2nd tier relatives at her parent's home. Julie was home from her senior year in college for the Christmas holiday, and her parent's home was the assembly point for her close and distant relatives this year. Old people. Young kids. Noise. All annoying! To top things off, Julie's neighborhood friends were all stuck at their parent's homes, entertaining similarly or else out of town.
So, there she sat. Diddling with her iphone with all the chaos and din around her.
Julie.
Julie.
Julie!
Finally, she emerged from her cyber funk to acknowledge that her mom had been calling her name.
"Julie, would you mind being a dear and bring this package next door? It seems that the postman left it here instead of next door. Mr. Gill may be expecting this."
Shit, damn, fuck! Really? Why do I need to do this mindless chore? Julie thought as she stood up and said "fine!!"
First though, she stomped upstairs to check her look in the mirror. A full 20 years old now, Julie was obsessed with her appearance, regardless of the occasion. She pursed her lips, freshened her lipstick, stroked a brush a few times through her dirty blond hair, and finally stepped back to give herself the once over, up and down. Hot. She couldn't help but be...standing at 5'-6", fit and toned, equipped with a nice set of natural 34C breasts, Julie turned heads when she wanted to and she usually dressed for that reaction. Today though, she was dressed in jeans and a plaid cotton shirt. Very casual and not provocative to the less observant.
On with the puffy North Face jacket, package in hand and out the door, Julie trudged toward Mr. Gill's front door. Shit, is he even home? Thought Julie. Oh well, at least I'm out of the house and getting fresh air!
When Julie reached the front door, she raised her hand to knock but she noticed the door was slightly ajar. Odd, but she knocked anyway. There was no response, but a moment later she heard movement inside. Knock knock, again.
"Hello?" a man's voice responded.
"Mr. Gill, its Julie from next door. I have a package for you."
A moment later, the door swung fully open to reveal Mr. Gill, still wearing his work out attire. Charcoal shorts with a gray tank top. The tank top was damp with sweat at the center his chest, and in general, the attire clung nicely to his toned physique. Mr. Gill was dropping his gym bag to the floor and holding onto a small grocery sack...no wonder the door wasn't closed fully.
This caught Julie off guard. She was actually taken aback with her own reaction at seeing this man. Mr. Gill had lived next door since her junior year in high school, but she had always considered him "old" and just a friend of her parents. Upon seeing him now though, Julie's pulse quickened. She felt her face flush, and a pulse down below. What the fuck? Thought Julie. Am I just horny because I haven't had sex with a boy in the three months since I broke up with Chris? No, that can't be it...I've used my toys religiously twice a day since then. Nope. This man in front of me is hot! Holy shit! How did I not notice this before?
"MmmMr. Gill. My mom asked me to bring this package over to you. The mailman accidentally left it at our house." Julie stuttered, as she shifted uncomfortably with the awareness of her arousal.
"Oh! Well thanks! I hate that you had to step away from your family activities to bring this over! It's just a music video that I ordered from Amazon. Thanks so much though! Come in! Get out of the cold...please!" Mr. Gill said as he ushered Julie into the house.
Julie glanced around at the tastefully modern dΓ©cor. She had never realized how nice of a place that Mr. Gill kept, nor his style. And for that matter, how sexy this man was! Standing just under 6 feet, rippling with muscle. Julie could feel herself growing warm in his presence.
Mr. Gill was single, divorced several years ago, before moving to the neighborhood. He kept a low profile, apparently a very low profile as far as Julie was concerned! Although he was near fifty, he could have easily passed for someone in his upper 30s or lower 40s!
"Julie. How is college treating you? I'm surprised to see you here for the holidays. It seems that most students find some warm place to go at this time, or otherwise just avoid their parents!" Mr. Gill chuckled. Julie responded with a huge smile and laugh herself.
"Well, its tradition, Mr. Gill. My parents are hosting everyone this year. It is a zoo over there!"
"Ah, well I'm sure everyone is happy to see each other. I personally enjoy the relative quiet," Mr. Gill replied.
"Well, I'm sure they all are missing you...thank you so much for taking time to bring this over!" Mr. Gill said as he shooed Julie out the door.
Darn! Did Mr. Gill just kick me out the door? Julie's mind was in a fog as she ambled back home. Back into the cloud of chatter in the house, Julie plopped back onto the couch and surfed her iphone, all the while her was mind racing about that man next door. Yes, a real man. Not one of those college boys that she had been dealing with the last few years. Julie positioned herself on the couch so that she could see through the window the comings and goings of her neighbor, and she put her mind to work.
How to find out more about this man? Just thinking about this deepened the mystique. Julie popped up off the couch and went to her mom in the kitchen.
