Thanks Aisling, J.J., Tricia, and Kail for commenting! I'm glad you all like this so far! Enjoy the first chapter! :D I think the first few chapter are sorta boring... but I promise it'll get better soon!
Chapter 1:
I ran one of my hands over the stack of cardboard boxes. I had moved in a week ago, and I still hadn’t finished unpacking. The ugly brown boxes just continued to sit there as I put off unpacking.
I popped open the flaps on another box, and I slowly began to pull stuff out. My eyes darted over towards the balcony that was attached to the back of my apartment. Through the large glass sliding doors, I could see movement in the apartment directly across the alley from mine.
I glanced at the clock, and smiled to myself.
“Right on time,” I said, chuckling quietly.
I walked over to the balcony, and pulled back the curtains the rest of the way. There she was, just like every day; the beautiful girl that lives in the apartment building across from mine. She’s a pretty scheduled person, so I always know when I’ll find her in her apartment.
She goes out for a run around the neighborhood every morning, and then comes back around 12:30, which is what time it is now. I grabbed the frame of the windows, moving to the side to hide myself part of the way while continuing to watch her.
My eyes scanned over her. She was wearing a pair of extremely short shorts and a sports bra. All that running she did definitely paid off, because she’s hot! She pulled the hair band from around her ponytail, letting her long wavy brown locks fall down past her shoulders. She walked over to the other side of the room, just as she always does, and pressed a button on her CD player. I could hear the faint sound of music, but through the barrier of both my doors and hers, I could never hear what was playing.
I smiled as she began dancing wildly around the room. By the way she was dancing, I knew that the music must have been some crazy energetic rock band. Her hair bounced around as she moved her hips in the most hypnotic way. Her hands moved up to tangle in her hair, and I could see the swirly pattern that was tattooed on the inside of her wrist. I’ve never dated a girl with a tattoo before, but I’d certainly like to get to know this girl better. I’ve also never dated a girl who had more than her ears pierced, but this girl had quite a few piercings. Even with the distance, I could see the shiny metal of a bellybutton ring, a stud through her eyebrow, and quite a few piercings in her ears. Usually I’d say that was a bit much, but on her… it was incredibly sexy.
Her hands slowly moved down to the waistband of her shorts, and I watched as she slid them down her long, perfect legs. I swear I’m not a perv, but when a gorgeous girl leaves her curtain open while she undresses, because she obviously doesn’t care if anyone sees her or not, why wouldn’t I watch? Ugh… please don’t judge me…
Her hips continued to move to the beat of the music, as she stood in nothing but her sports bra and a pair of lacy black panties. She soon moved out of my sight, and I knew that she was headed for the shower. Which meant that I’d be forced to spend the next 15 minutes continuing to unpack. Believe me… I’d much rather spend those 15 minutes watching her… but we don’t always get what we want.
I spent the next 15 minutes unpacking some more random crap, piling it all up on my couch. I let out a sigh, and glanced at the clock again pleased to see that my own personal girl next door should be back any moment.
I saw a blur go by out of the corner of my eye, and quickly made my way back over to the balcony. She was once again dancing around her room, but she had changed out of her sports bra and into a lacy black bra that matched her panties. I let out a low moan, and I could feel a slight tightening in my jeans. Once again… please don’t judge me. I’m a 20 year old guy, and I have needs just like everyone else. Yeah sure, I wear a purity ring that keeps me from acting on those needs… but that doesn’t mean I can’t have thoughts every once in awhile.
She continued to dance around the room, her slightly damp hair bobbing around her head, framing her perfect face. She pulled a black pleated skirt from off her bed, and stepped into it. It was pretty short, continuing to show off her perfect legs. I silently thanked God for giving this woman a job in which she could wear something like that. She grabbed a white button down shirt off of her bed as well, and slid it over her shoulders. I was sad to see that she was once again covered up, but she did look amazing in the button up, with the top few button left undone, revealing just enough cleavage. This woman was sexy… there was no doubt about it.
She ran a hand through her hair, ruffling it slightly, attempting to dry it. She grabbed a clip from her dresser, and threw all of her hair up to the top of her head, clipping it in place. She leaned closer to her mirror as she applied dark eyeliner around her eyes, which gave her that incredibly sexy mysterious vibe. Her hips continued to sway to the music, and I let my eyes flutter closed, and I envisioned myself in her room, pressing my body against hers from behind, as our hips ground together. She’d turn around to wrap her arms around my neck, as my hands would make their way under- whoa there Nick! Settle down man…
I shook my head, to clear my thoughts, and I saw that she was now sitting on the edge of her bed, lacing up her black converse high-tops. She stood up from the bed, and I could have sworn I saw her look right at me before she grabbed her purse and turning off the CD player. She walked towards the window to pull the curtains closed, and then that was it, she was off to work.
I hated these moments when she was gone. It was like I was addicted to her. And the more days I spent watching her, the more I felt like I really wanted to get to know her. I knew nothing about this mysterious woman, not even her name.
I quickly made a rash decision, and grabbed my shoes. I hopped towards the door on one foot as I pulled my shoes on. I locked my apartment door behind me, and ran down the stairs and out the front door. I immediately spotted her walking down the street, her hips swaying with every step. I kept up my pace as I followed her. I wasn’t planning on talking to her. I didn’t want her to realize that I followed her from her apartment. Then she would really think that I’m a stalker… ok so maybe I am sort of stalking her… but sometimes you have to do crazy things to get a girl, right? I just want to find out more about her… that’s all.
I continued to follow her, until she went into a restaurant called Max’s Bar and Grill. I hesitated at first, before walking into the restaurant.
“Hi, can I help you?” the hostess asked, as my eyes darted around the restaurant.
“Um… yeah… could I look at a menu?”
“Yeah, sure,” she said, handing me a menu. I took it from her and moved over to lean against the wall, continuing to search for my mystery girl. I spotted her come out from the kitchens, holding a small apron in her hands. She was talking to the bartender, as she tied it around her waist. I kept my face mostly covered with the menu, as I continued to watch her. She slid a small notebook into the pocket on the apron, and then made her way towards me. I gasped quietly and quickly opened the menu all the way, shoving my face into it.
“Hey Sarah, what tables should I take?” I heard a beautiful voice say, and I knew it could only belong to one person. I slowly peered around the menu and my breath got caught in my throat. She was even more beautiful up close. She had the most stunning green eyes that I hadn’t even noticed before. She was gorgeous in every way imaginable. A small tag pinned to her apron caught my eye, and I smiled as I read it.
“Abigail,” I said, but apparently it was a bit too loudly, because her eyes darted in my direction. I quickly pulled the menu over my face and apparently it was enough, because she just shrugged and headed towards the tables.
I let out a sigh, and watched Abigail as she began waiting tables. She scribbled on her little notepad, and shoved it back into the pocket before looking towards me. Her eyes locked right with mine, and I was too shocked to pull the menu in front of my face. I could feel myself blush slightly and a small smirk fell across her lips. She winked at me and I felt my heart skip a few beats.
“Wow…” I breathed.
Give me a few days, and this woman is going to be mine…
