It’s been a few months since the new neighbor moved in. Ian is a strange kid from the west coast completely out of place in southern Alabama, but over these past few months, Caroline and Ian have developed a seemingly mutualistic relationship that continues to grow in interesting ways.
It started when he was moving in and she offered to help. It was the middle of the weekday, the baby was asleep, and she had watched from her second story window as he made trip after trip back and forth from his Uhaul. It was clear he was different the locals with his long hair, long board, and yoga mats, and Caroline couldn’t imagine what brought him here.
After they had moved everything in, she brought over some ice cold lemonade, and he told her about how he had recently graduated from college a year early and was working as a field technician for the US Forest Service, doing the grunt work for the actual researchers in several universities. It’s not like Caroline was old, she was still in her thirties, but with a few years shy of half her age, Ian was so adorable being fresh out of college and excited to start his new career. He had a boyish face, and his thin but fit body looked nice as sweat rolled down his tan skin.
Caroline had to shake away the lewd thoughts that made her bite her lip as she gave him a hug goodbye, her body reacting to the scent of his young musk thick with pheromones. Being a stay at home mom has its perks, and she’s looking forward to seeing a lot more of him.
That was a few months ago and their relationship has developed quite a bit since then. Ian’s job collecting data on owls and other nocturnal animals has odd hours keeping him away in the late afternoon and evenings or late evenings and early mornings. Either way, he’s around a lot during the days when Caroline is at home alone with her baby. Her oldest is in kindergarten and gone all day along along with her husband, leaving her alone most days.
She’s gotten into a routine of watching him do yoga in his back yard in just his shorts and trying to sneak a peak through the window when he’s dressing in his room. She knows she shouldn’t watch him all the time, but he’s nice to look at and the days alone are long. Luckily for her, he’s a California boy and doesn’t hardly ever wear shirts when he’s home, but she always hopes to see more.
She also has an exceptional garden that keeps her busy. As a bit of a hippy California boy, Ian quickly showed interest in learning how to grow his own food and started helping her. This gave them lots of time talk, and Caroline has learned a lot about his personal life, how his dad was always harsh and distant and how as the youngest brother, he was always his mother’s baby boy. Unfortunately she passed aim the last year leaving a hole in his life. Ian of course broke down during this story and Caroline’s motherly instincts kicked in as she held his head against her chest petting his hair long hair.
He also has admitted that while he was initially excited for this new job, he hasn’t been able to meet anyone else with whom he connects and is quite lonely. They’ve spent a lot of time together in her garden, and she often makes them both lunch to eat in the middle of the hot days. What’s one more kid right?
