"Lisa Brannon, forty, single and head of Marrell Marketing.." She read aloud, a scowl pinching her features. "As if being forty and single is terrible!" Her muffin forgotten, she let the Times drop to the table and reached for her coffee. To her large patio doors she moved, staring off to the back yard as she sipped at the hot life-giving brew. She should have never agreed to do an interview then read the damn thing.
Thursday, a nice long five day weekend ahead of her and she is up at seven in the damn morning, preparing for work. A chuckle followed her upstairs, into her bedroom where the sound of a car door slamming caught her attention. Moving to one large window, she pulled the heavy drapes to one side and look over her street below. Searching until she found an older nineties something or other car parked right next door, being unloaded by a man in a University hoodie. With interest, she watched and wondered whom he was exactly? She had met her new neighbor just three months ago when the single woman moved in. A brief exchange, but this was the first person she'd seen come to the house since then.
Her name was Cathy? Catherine? Kate maybe, something.
With mug in hand, she found herself watching him. Each time he came back to the car, lifting another bag or box or duffel bag, enjoying the view of him bending, lifting.. Hell! "I need laid.." When he turned about, glancing up to where she stood at the window, it were then she got a real good look at him. He was not nearly as old as she had first thought him to be.
"Oh.. damn.." She sighed then, stepping back into her bedroom and out of his sight. A college boy, fairly sure he was close to half her age, twenty something young. She could see him from where she stood, through the drape gap, until he went behind the fencing and into the house next door. Wasn't a few moments later that she heard a window near by pushing open, scraping hinges and voices carrying across the feet separating their two houses.
