*I have a job for you.*
That’s all the text had said. It wasn’t specific, there was no pleasantries surrounding it, it was just a simple declarative.
*How can I help?*
There was no response. That was two days ago. I didn’t want to seem like a neurotic neighbour, so I left it alone. I spent the the next while sorting out my place, registering my new address with the bank, boring things like that. My job meant that I had a lot of spare time waiting for clients to contact me rather than the other way around, so every morning I did the same routine – I showered, got dressed in some proper work-day clothes, opened my laptop, set up the work system, and just kind of hung out from there, waiting to be contacted.
One morning, about a week after The Text, the doorbell rang. I assumed it was the postwoman; I didn’t have a mailbox or slot in my door, so while I was waiting to install one, the woman would ring the doorbell and leave the post on the doormat.
I had woken up late, so I was just about to get in the shower when I heard it. I briefly debated leaving my post outside until I was showered and dressed, but I tend to take a while getting clean, and I didn’t know the neighbourhood, and didn’t want my post to get stolen. I threw on a bathrobe, leaving it quite loose since I knew she wouldn’t be at the door when I got there. I wasn’t indecent by any means, but I definitely wasn’t expecting what I found. I’m sure she wasn’t either.
I swung open the door. It was Marie. Holding a casserole dish with a foil cover.
We both froze, then as my face grew red, she smiled, on the edge of a laugh. Once again, I was *almost* fully exposed.
“We’ve got to stop meeting like this,” she laughed.
I quickly tied up my robe. It still felt breezy.
“I’m so sorry, I was just about to get in the shower, I thought you were someone else-”
“Someone you’re more comfortable around?” she raised an eyebrow, play-mocking.
“Not- um, I’m not uncomfortable around you, necessarily, I just meant-” I was getting flustered.
She really laughed this time.
“Don’t worry about it! I should have texted you before calling,” she shook her head as if to say ‘my bad.’
*You did text me though,* I thought.
“Hah, I guess. I should probably check the peephole before I open the door though,” I said, rolling my eyes at myself.
She smiled again. She smiled a lot, and it was a beautiful smile. I hoped nothing ever made her stop.
She startled, remembering why she had come. She presented the dish.
“The Fabled Neighbourly Casserole,” she declared. “It’s a Pasta au Gratin, with some spice.”
“A wonderful gift, and a tongue-twister to boot,” I laughed, taking off her.
“Well, I can handle a mouthful,” she smirked, putting her hands behind her back. It made her chest stand out a little, and I was suddenly and painfully aware of the shirt she was wearing. I felt something stir under my robe,
*What was happening with her??!?*
“Hah… Thanks,” I said, feeling myself turning red again.
“Anyway, I’ll let you get back to your shower,” she said, turning away.
I nodded, swallowing. Before she had made it down the step, something shook loose in my head.
“Hey-” I stopped her.
She turned, the question on her face.
“What was that text you sent me? The other day?”
She paused, trying to remember
“Oh! Yeah, I totally forgot to follow up on that. Do you play tennis?”
“Um, a little?”
She beamed, but there was a hint of mischief to it.
“Great.”

[Hey folks! So, I’ve decided to go without personal descriptions for the time being – partly because I don’t like how people are usually described in erotica, and partly because I want to make it easy to project your own fantasies on to. This is another ‘near-miss’ in Marie seeing me naked, and is just another step on the journey to the wonderful seduction. Part 3 will start to get spicier, I promise! Hope you enjoyed!]
