I had to admit - I was pretty darn nervous when we first decided to move.
I, Ashley Smith, was a city girl, no doubt about it. My parents never owned one of those houses that encompass a peaceful, green suburban paradise. When my parents talked about 'moving', it meant that we were going to move maybe a block or two, into a different apartment where we would continue the usual routine of ignoring completely the existence of our neighbors.
But here I was twenty-two years old, fresh out of college and happily married to Thomas Neil, my boyfriend throughout my student life. We met through one of those freshmen parties and it was an odd scene to be sure. Namely, Thomas is as far as you can get from a wild, party goer (if my memory is correct, I found him reading a book at the party) and stood out like a sore thumb, which coincidentally is what attracted me to him. I wasn't much of a wild flower myself. He was sweet and is probably the nicest guy that I have come across to this very day. Still, sometimes my mind does drift back and wonder what my life could have been if he was a bit more...outgoing than he is. Not that it matters, anyway.
A few of my friends would butt in our lives, oddly enough. The girls (as I don't believe in having guy friends) would always have this craving to ask some very personal questions, mostly sexual in any nature. There was always a "how's your sex life Ashley?" or "how's Thomas in bed?", to which I would never answer. It was private, and while they felt comfortable talking about what they did in the privacy of their own bedroom, I never did. Thomas was my first and only sexual partner, but of course I wouldn't let them know that. I suppose that it was their way of striking back at me, as they knew the subject bothered me; it was no secret that they were jealous of me in college, given that the men on campus would always flock to me. I blamed my body, for the most part. I was 'endowed' (though I don't consider myself so) with large breasts, a fit body (due to my passion in yoga) and perfect brown curls, as they would say.
Anyway, back to the moving - any anxiety that I felt was quickly pushed aside when he began backing our boxes inside. It gave me the liberty to view our neighborhood a bit more and I had to say, the surrounding area was...peaceful. At least compared to my life in the metropolitan concrete jungle called New York city. Our neighbors were nice. One was so nice, that I felt the need to invite him over for dinner.
Yes, it was a *him* and yes, I still don't believe in having guy friends. But, seeing as he actually helped us pack, I didn't know what else to do. Thomas wasn't too happy of the idea, as he always was the jealous type. Once again, I felt that I needed to do what I did, as otherwise it would feel that I took advantage of someone.
...
"How do I look honey?" I asked Thomas, as I stepped out of our bedroom.
I decided to dress nice, given that this was going to be a proper first impression. I didn't do so very often; I mean, dress up. Thomas' eyes did linger, seeing me in a short red dress, one that my friend gave me on my last birthday (I hadn't put it on once). I did feel a bit uncomfortable wearing it, namely because it went a bit above my knees, leaving my long legs bare for the most part, up until the three inch heels that I had on. What maybe made me the most uncomfortable, was the fact that an ample amount of cleavage was given out, with my heart-shaped necklace diving between the valley of my breasts.
"Do you have to wear that?" Thomas said with a grimace.
"Oh honey. Look, we should look nice - it's the first time that we're having someone in our own home." I said, hoping that Thomas would change into something a bit more stunning than the typical corporate office work clothes that he had on.
But that would have to wait...
