Next Door Delemma

Alex had just moved into a new house once again. His family moved a lot due to his father’s job. Alex had just turned 17 last week and he was enjoying his new life. He felt more comfortable in his new neighborhood than ever before, epically because of the friendly environment that the neighborhood had shown to them. Many of their new neighbors had stopped by to welcome them to the neighborhood. But one person in particular intrigued Alex more than anyone else had before.

Her name was Mrs. Susan Patterson. She had been living in the house next door to Alex’s new house for over 15 years. She unfortunately, had lost her husband two years ago. She had discovered that her husband had cheated on her and that he never loved her. She had been very secluded and sheltered because of the event. But she seemed to have a change of attitude once Alex’s family had moved in.

Her relationship with Alex started when his parents had offered that he would maintain her lawn since she had not been good at keeping her house up. He would mostly just cut grass and maintain the garden in her back yard. Over the summer Alex and Susan became very close. Their friendship had become something that both of them had experienced in a long time. And it was about to get a whole more interesting…

“Alex could you step inside her for a moment please?” she said softly.

“Just a minute, Mrs. Patterson.” He responded. For the first time he had truly seen her beauty for what it really was. She was 5’ 6”; 125 lbs and she had dirty blonde hair that looked gorgeous. Mrs. Patterson worked in a salon and it certainly showed. Her complexion was perfect in every way.

“Forget about that stupid yard work, that can wait.” She had just come out of the shower and had nothing on except a small pink towel.
