Stories are coming out slower than I would like. Hopefully you all are enjoying my stories/fantasies. This story just hit me as I was sitting on the couch day dreaming. Any suggestions are welcome and honest reviews are appreciated.
-------------------------------------------------------------
So, here I sit, feeling like a complete idiot. How long have I had this power? I have no idea. As I look back on it, it has probably since my teens. I just never noticed that people would sometimes do what I wished they would do.
Talk about a clueless idiot. It just hit me a few months ago. I was outside the apartment where I live. I was getting out of my car after a long day at work. There was this neighbor who lived on the floor below me. She was a single mom and very pretty.
She was about 5' 3", maybe 130 lbs. and wonderful C cup breasts. I was thinking to myself that it would great if she asked me for my help getting her groceries in. I knew though, that it wouldn't happen. She never even met my eyes when we passed.
I mean, come on. I was 6' 4", 360 pounds. My hair was more gray than salt-and-pepper. Not exactly desired by women I come in contact with. I mean sure, they all tell me I am a wonderful person, and I make them laugh.
So yeah, a 53-year-old loser. As I got out of my car and grabbed my stuff from the back seat, I heard her speak. I was not sure if it was to me at first.
"Excuse me, I do not mean to bother you, but I could use a hand with this." I turned to look at her, thinking it was not me she was talking to, but hoping it was.
"uhm..." yeah not the smoothest line, but of course with two divorces and five failed relationships since the last divorce, you will have to excuse my lack of confidence. It looked like she smiled at that, at least her eyes showed a smile. The whole mask thing was making it hard to read people, not that that was a skilled I possessed this late in life.
"I am sorry, my name is Lisa." The light tone of polite laughter.
"David" I said extending my hand, then pulling it back. Damn i hated this fucking pandemic.
She smiled again "Yeah, even after a year, I still forget sometimes."
"Sure, I can help you." I said and put my things back in my car. I walked over to her car and she started handing me things. "Where are we going?"
"Apartment B9"
"Okay then." Adjusting the bags for easier transport, I followed her in the building. I had to admit that it was quite a view following her to her place. Her pants hugged her ass and I watched it move in a very hypnotic pattern.
We reached her door and she opened it, moving in and holding the door with her foot and allowing me to pass into her kitchen. It was a nice kitchen, and surprisingly enough did not look the she cleaned up after two kids and worked all day. She seemed to better at life than I was.
I chuckled to myself.
"What is so funny?"
"Nothing really, just realized that I am handling life worse that a single mom of two kids and a regular job. You are amazing. This place is amazing." I shook my head. "Where do you want the groceries?"
Smiling at me, she pointed with her elbow "There on the kitchen table is fine." I placed the bags on the table. It looked like she was planning on steak-tips, corn on the cob and mashed potatoes for dinner. Definitely my kind of woman.
"Would you like have dinner? It is not much, but you are welcome." She placed her bags on the table and took off her mask. "I hate these things... Oh shit, you aren't..."
"No, with my job, I get tested twice a week. Fun stuff, let me tell you. But no, covid free so far."
She looked down at the badge hanging off my belt loop. It was my ID for the Medical Center I worked at.
"Twice a week huh, kind of invasive isn't it?"
"Not really, most of our patients are either getting care for long-term illnesses or, sadly, just waiting to die." I looked down at the floor. This was the hardest part of my job. Being around those patients, getting to know them, letting them into my life and then watching them slowly fade away. Knowing that one day, I would be there too. "So, we don't want to bring any viruses or bacteria that could complicate their conditions."
"And you have been doing this, how long?"
"A couple of years now. "
