Your Shy Neighbor (Audio Script)

Stories

Hey, no no! It’s okay… sorry, I just didn’t see you…

I was in my own little world, I guess, and I wasn’t paying attention, thought I was out here alone…

It’s beautiful out tonight, isn’t it?

I’m just glad it’s finally warm enough for shorts.

Just out here for a little me-time?

Yeah, I guess it’s not much me-time now that I’m out here, is it? Sorry, I can—

Okay, okay! No worries… yeah, I’d love to have a seat with you. Here?

You know, I haven’t actually spent much time out here since I moved in, things have been so busy lately but I’ve gotta say, this bench is way more comfortable than I anticipated.

Which makes sense, I guess, since it’s stone, and I’ve never particularly considered the comfort of stone.

Ah fair enough, I guess the setting doesn’t matter if you’re trying to get lost in a book… is it a good one?

Ooooh, yeah, I heard great things about that. Are you enjoying it?

Awesome, I’ll have to pick it up then…

Oh really? I’d love to borrow it when you finish, yeah, definitely…

thank you.

Me? I’m reading…

Well, nothing actually. I just finished one that was due back at the library, and have started and put down like three or four… nothing’s really grabbed my attention, you know?

Yeah, exactly like that. But hey, sometimes life is a little like that… you just have to try a few times to make sure everything fits right. I love the way you put that.

Yeah, it really hits home for me, especially with the way dating has been lately.

Yeah, the apps are grim these days, but I’m honestly surprised you’re on them.

Ah, just as something to do then, and not because you’re looking for a hookup… makes sense, that’s not really what I’m looking for either, which is what’s made it so difficult, I think.

Everyone just wants a quick fix and not accountability… and I don’t know, I guess I’m a bit of a romantic.

Really? Is it that surprising?

No, I just… I don’t know. I’m surprised that you’re surprised, I guess, but it makes sense, if I really wanted to be romantic, I guess I’d have asked you out by now. Some grand gesture or something… really made a show of it since I’ve been living downstairs for four months now and…

What’s that face? Now you look more than a little surprised…

Well, I didn’t even think you were single… I mean… have, oh god… I mean, have you seen you?

I don’t like to make assumptions about anyone but, I just imagine that a girl like you has people falling at your feet asking for dates, lining up to wait their…

Hey, stop laughing! It’s not funny, I’m serious. I… you’re really something, you know that?

Are you calling me an unreliable narrator? Low blow, insulting me in such attractive ways… literary metaphor is more powerful than insults though, so I’ll take it… but be careful… it’s almost like you’re flirting.

Oh.. you.. You are?

Wow, I don’t think I’ve ever met someone bold enough to just own it like that…

I’m definitely not.

But if you’re flirting with me, using literary metaphors in the middle of the day as if it’s not the most attractive thing a woman can do…

Does… does that mean you’re single then?

I mean, I know we joked about the apps but.. I meant it when I said I don’t like to assume.

So if you’re single… and flirting with me in this garden, despite the ultra comfy stone bench and perfect reading weather day… Does that mean… ah…

Would you maybe want to…?

Well I don’t want to put pressure on you or make things weird I was just wondering… ah, is it… it’s hot out here all of a sudden….

This is definitely not my best romantic hero performance…

Do you want to get a drink with me?

No you’re right, that didn’t even sound like me… ah…

Wait, really? You think it’s cute? But why?

You do though! You make me want to get things right the first time and I end up tying myself in knots… it’s, well… that’s why I’ve never tried before.

It’s not for lack of interest, I just really didn’t want to mess things up or make you uncomfortable… you live here, and a lady deserves to feel safe and comfortable in her home, you know?

Yeah, pretty much exactly like that… but uh, you haven’t answered the question…

which I guess is pretty much an answer, huh?

Sorry if I made you uncomfortable or you felt like…

Yes?

Yes, I made you uncomfortable? Shit, I’m… I’m sorry…

Oh… yes to that one… I… so, you do want to get that drink then?

No, no I haven’t changed my mind. I’m just surprised.

Really? You… think it’s cute? That I get shy like this?

That’s definitely the first time I’ve heard that one… usually women think the way I stumble over my words when I’m put on the spot like this is… I don’t know, annoying, I guess…

But if you’re into it, I’d love to treat you to a coffee and a longer show of my shy guy game…

Are you busy after this?

Oh, sure. Of course. Late shifts are the worst, it’s like they take over your whole day.

Aw, that’s sweet. I wish we could stay here a little longer too…

Now that we know where we stand, well…

feels like everything’s changed.

Hey, what if I walk you home? I can leave you on your doorstep with a promise of a date, real romance novel style… how’s that sound?

Yeah, of course.

I’d love to walk you home. Here, take my arm, I’ll be your escort like we’re walking the red carpet, and you can tell me when you’d like to get that drink…

How long’s your shift tonight?

Oh, that’s late… and it’s supposed to storm later.

No, no, just… a little bit worried is all. I don't particularly like storms and the idea of you getting home in the dark and bad weather, I just… maybe I could give you my number, so you can text me when you get home?

You know, so I don’t worry… and so we can set up that date.

It is a date, right?

Whew, okay good… glad we’re on the same page… especially since we’re at your door already, and you’ve got to go get ready for work. When does your shift start again?

Oof, you better move quick, that’s not a lot of time and I don’t think a sundress is going to be ideal for a night like this, will it?

Yeah… for a night like that… with me… it would be the perfect look.

Did I mention you look incredible? I mean, today and like… all the time. You are just… so beautiful. You make sweatpants and silk look equally decadent.

Nope, didn’t steal it from anywhere, just spent a lot of time thinking about you and a moment just like this, where I’d be walking away from you, knowing I’ll get to take you out, to woo you and make you feel as special as I know you are…

Oh, you think so? Well, if you like that, maybe you’d like it even more if, before I left… I took a step closer to you, like this…

And lowered my head to yours like this… to catch your gaze, like this…

So I can capture your lips… like this.

Wow… that was… so much more than I expected.

You too? Well, good. I hope I’m always more than you expected… especially if it means I can do that again…

God, your mouth…. and those wandering hands.

You’re trouble, in all the most delicious ways and…

Hm? But… what about work?

I know, I’ve waited so long too… and even though I don’t want to let you go, you have to go to work.

We don’t have time for, well… well, if I come in, I’m not going to be able to keep my hands off you and you’ve got to get to wo—

You don’t care if you’re late? But I don’t want you to…

Yes, I definitely do want you, and I want you to keep doing this, the way you’re moving against me… I know you can feel just how much I want you.

You like that, hm? The way you make me feel… the way my dick reacts to you and that lush mouth when you…

Mm, oh, that…

That’s not fair! You can’t kiss my neck like that while you palm me through my jeans and…

Yes, yes… I’ll come in.

That’s not what I meant! Just… unlock the door before I kiss you again, right here against your door where anyone could see.

You just… feel so good against me, it’s hard to wait. If you want me to come inside, then open the door and I’ll give you what you need.

God, I can’t believe I’m here alone with you… I can’t believe how good you feel underneath my touch…

Your skin, your curves… the way you fit perfectly against me, right here… it’s like I’ve been waiting an eternity for exactly this.

And definitely, definitely that… especially if you’re going to rock against me when we kiss like that… those moans… mmmm…

Are you enjoying this?

Mm, good, I am too, but if you’re going to be late for work, we don’t have long, and I don’t want to waste a moment… I want to see you… all of you.

Can I take this off?

Good, I don’t want to rush but… I want you naked, underneath me, right now… Which way to your room?

That way? Perfect, wrap your arms around my neck and…

Yeah, just wrap your legs around my waist, hold on to me, I’ve got you…

Mmm, fuck, but you’ve got to hold still! Don’t tease me while I’m carrying you to bed.

Mm, the feeling of you against me… I want to feel more of it.

Take off your dress.

Wow… you… look at you… that curve, the way your skin tightens as I… trail my fingers up your stomach right to these sensitive little… Mmm, you like that?

Does it feel good when I touch you like that? Gently teasing your chest…

I can’t believe that all this time you weren’t wearing a bra under that thin little dress…

If I’d known, I never would have been able to ask you out…

Can I… may I…? I want to suck your chest… Would you like that?

Yeah? Good, yeah, show me what you like, while I play with your pretty tits.

Does it feel good when I lick you here?

The way you’re grinding your hips like that gave you away, rubbing your pussy against my thigh like that…

So hot, the way you’re showing me what you like… I love seeing how good you feel.

Do you want to feel how good you make me feel? Yeah? I want you to feel me too… just, yeah, like that, just unzip my jeans, take my cock out…

That’s it, baby, wrap your hand around me… I’m so hard, your hand feels so good while you stroke me like that…

I want to make you feel good too… spread your legs for me.

Oooh, yeah, like that… your pretty pusy on display for me, and I can smell how much you like it…

It smells like sex and need and summer, baby… and there’s nothing sexier than knowing I did this to you… all this want, all this wetness…

Oh fuck, you’re so wet…

Do you like that? When I gently tease your pussy lips with my fingers?

Fuck, I love how you react when I tease you like this… how your back arches.

You’re so fucking beautiful, you look so good sprawled out for me like this, my fingers playing with your sweet pussy while you stroke my cock…

God, that feels so good…
