Kate Carter
Being that it's still before noon, I grab my purse, and my phone and groan as I walk out locking my apartment door. I make my way to the building parking lot and find my parking spot in the back. I scrunch my nose at the Jeep Cherokee waiting for me. Not brand new. I hit the fob and it beeps unlocking and I get in.
"At least it's clean." I mutter to myself and then push the key in, finding the car at 56,000 miles.
"Oof" I say and cringe again. "Thanks dad" I say again. But let's be real, he could've been cruel and not given me anything at all. So at least there was the car, and the fucking mattress.
I spent the first half of the day, shopping at a Walmart for the first time ever. Buying essentials.
I'd bought cleaning supplies, eating utensils. A set of plates, a set of glasses. Then I bought an all in one bedding option, and since the bed I had was a twin, all I could find were kids sets. So I was the proud new owner of a pastel rainbow and cloud comforter with a giant unicorn face on it and matching pink sheet set, that 5 year old me would have loved. I grabbed two cheap pillows, at let myself splurge on a candle.
The next thing I bought was toiletries. I knew there was at least one roll of toilet paper. But obviously need to get more. So I bought toilet paper, and tampons because I'd realized I'd forgetten to pack any.
I already had brought soap, shower gel, and hair products that I needed , along with my toothbrush and toothpaste. So I was all set there.
I headed over to the grocery section, picking up foods and snacks to stock my fridge with, along with a filtered water pitcher. Then I made my way back to the home goods section forgetting I needed towels and washcloths. My feet ached in my heels by the time I had everything I could think of that I needed.
The last thing I picked up, a pair of plain white sneakers.
------
I stuffed my truck full of the bags and shit that I bought. When I got home, I kinda wished that Brian was around to help me haul that massive amount of crap that I'd bought up to my apartment.
After hauling it all upstairs, I spent the next few hours, cleaning, the place wasn't dirty really, but I'd dusted the window sills , swept and mopped the kitchen floor and bathroom and was pretty sure I was using too much water to mop but felt proud of myself anyways.
I cleaned the surfaces of the kitchen with the clorox spray I bought, and then cleaned the bathroom and huffed when I realized I needed a shower curtain. I added it to my new notes folder in my phone of things I needed next time I went to the store.
So far it was tools, and a shower curtain AND regular curtains.
It was 8:30 and already dark out as I walked around the apartment listening to music from my phone playing in my bedroom. I'd just eaten a premade salad and spent the past half hour in the bathroom shaving and primping as much as I could in my tiny little bathroom. I managed to shower with getting too much water on the floor. I threw down one of my new towels. And added "bath mats" to my notes.
I walked into my room and pulled my towel off and then dried off and pulled a pink lace thong and a matching lace bra out of my suitcase and slipped on my jeans from earlier, and the same cream cashmere sweater. Id blow dried my hair and pulled my loose waves up into a high ponytail.
My makeup was done, my lipstick applies, and perfume at all the pulse points and I turned off my bedroom light. Stopping as another light flicked on outside my window, letting a small stream of muted light come in through my window. I walked over, feeling stupid that I'd freely walked around in the nude while getting ready, that I didnt even realize my bedroom window lined up with the next apartment building bedroom window. They alley between our bedroom windows was only a few car widths wide.
"I've definitely got to get curtains for in he-" I paused talking to myself as a tall, broad man, that looked like a fucking line backer, or a lumber jack, or good god, oh shit. My jaw dropped as his towel did.
My eyes widened at the sight of his muscular back and ass. I licked my lips, knowing I should look away, this was so so wrong, but....my thighs pressed together and I whimpered to myself as he turned slightly, my eyes going right to the good stuff.
"holy!" I gasp and cover my mouth as if he can hear me.
I watch as he dries his guiness book of world records sized cock.
"oh my god" I whisper to myself. Wishing I could snap a photo of it. The thought crosses my mind to try to but I shake my head. He turns even further around as he grabs a pair of boxer briefs from his bed, my eyes glued to the fucking anaconda sized cock on this man. I bite my lip, my eyes grazing over his muscular thighs and calves and I find myself breathingheavy, my eyes going up to his cock again and curl my toes in my brand new ten dollar sneakers and let my eyes roam his abs, his amazing chest and his face.
FUCK. His face that was on me! His eyes, on me!
I jumped when I saw the angry expression on his face, pausing, frozen, I stood there.
I lifted my hand and waved nervously. Fucking waved. I waved. Shit.
"sorry" I mouthed and turned and ducked out of my room.
"fuck!" I cursed holding my palm to my head and cursing myself.
"Way to go Kate, ya fucking creep" I say to myself as someone rings the doorbell making me jump so high I almost fall over.
I take a few deep breaths gathering myself, my cheeks flushed with shame. I had to live here a whole year, across from a guy i'd fucking assaulted with my eyes.
I open the door to Brian and a smiling blonde girl about my height.
"Hi!" she says smiling wide sticking out her hand.
"Are you really from LA?!" she says.
"Do you know the Kardashians?" she eyes me curiously and excitedly. I laugh slightly shaking my head.
"No...I don't....I did see them at an event once though." I shrug.
She gasps. "No way!"
I laugh and Brian rolls his eyes.
"Kate this is my girlfriend Kaylee, Kaylee this is Kate." he says
I shake her hand.
"I've always wanted to go to LA!" she goes on and on as I close up my apartment and we all exit the building and start to walk. I giggle at the overwhelming excitement running off of Kaylee.
We stop on the sidewalk and I assume we're waiting for a ride, so I keep answering Kaylee's questions and Brian texts on his phone.
I'm laughing and enjoying Kaylee's wide eyed excitement of my story of the time I went to party with big name music celebrities, when I hear Brian.
"Hey princess, took you look enough" he says to someone and I hear a chuckle.
"Fuck you" says a deep voice and I turn and my eyes go wide and Kaylee's excited chatter is just babbling now, because I think I go deaf, go dumb and stupid as the guy coming down the stairs pauses for the briefest moment, his lips tighetning, before he relaxes his face and hits the bottom step of the stairs and claps Brian on the back in a hug.
I turn so red that I feel my cheeks heat , and my chest, and every part of me. Oh fuck. It was him. The anaconda man. Shit.
"Kaylee this is my brother...Colson. Colson this is Kate" Brian says.
I see Colson give me forced smile.
"nice to meet you....Kate" my name comes out clipped.
"You...you too" I say and Brian looks between us, sensing something, but ignores it.
"Yeah, well... she's new in town...just moved in today...I invited her to come along, so she could meet some people. You should tell her all about the sites and shit" Brian says clearly trying to play match maker as he gives his friend a shoulder push towards me. I look away.
"Oh, I think she's done plenty of site seeing." he says and my jaw drops and I look up at him. Was he going to out me as a peeping pervert?! Was I going to be named the town creep?!
But Brian isn't paying attention, and he grabs Kaylee's hand as they start to walk ahead.
He looks at me and god, he's even hotter up close. He smells fucking delicious too. and god, I want to climb this man like a fucking tree as he looks down at me.
"I didn't mean...to..." I trail off as he turns and starts to walk. I frown and then jump into a quick jog until I'm caught up to him, Kaylee and Brian already half a block ahead of us.
"I'm sorry that I...that I um..." I say nervously trying to find the words as my shorter legs struggle to keep pace with his longer legs.
"Sorry I saw you naked" I whisper.
I look to his face, but it's giving me nothing as he looks straight ahead like I'm not even there.
"God, I'm so sorry, please don't hate me...I really didn't mean to...I was leaving my room, turning off the light...you turned yours on, I walked over and said wow, I forgot curtian, I need to add those and then....then you just walked in front of your window and whipped it right off" I say rambling and he stops and I keep walking and rambling and then stop and turn to look at him. I shut up as he looks at me, that strong defined jaw, those dark brown eyes and that dark scruff along his jaw.
"N-not that it's your fault!" I say and walk back over to him. "I just....fuck...fuck..I'm so so sorry... I just....it was hard to look away , you're just really.." I shut up again and shake my head. "sorry....fuck...god this is embarrassing......for me! not for you! You have NOTHING to me embarrassed of trust me, your dick is huge so there no rea...shit" I clap a hand over my mouth.
"Not that I saw it!" I say and he just stares at me.
"I'm going to shut up now." I say and then turn and walk away, hanging my head like a wounded puppy.
I hear him move again, walking behind me by a few steps.
I say nothing more, and he says not a word until we walk the few blocks to a small bar on a corner and I stop and turn before we go in. He looks at me his brow lifting in question as I put a hand to his chest. Fuck. I forget what I was going to say when my hand feels like it just hit a brick wall. I bring my eyes to him.
"Can you please not hate me? I feel so bad. I really do." I say.
He lifts his hand to mine on his chest, grabbing it. I inhale slightly as his large hand wraps around my smaller one and he pulls it away.
"Don't. Touch me." he says and then walks around me and into the bar.
I find myself irritated and angry. Yes, I should NOT have peeped for as long as I did, but it happened! I apologized! Why did he need to be a dick?!
------
Two hours later, I'm 4 shots and 4 vodka cranberries in when I stop dancing with Kaylee and the other girls, and see angry pants Colson leaned up against the bar as the other guys play pool at the tables and sips his coke. Apparently he's not a drinker, or at least isnt tonight.
My alcohol balls kick in and I break from the dance floor which is just me Kaylee and the four other girls that came, and a few older ladies.
His eyes come to me when I'm half way to him and he stands there and I set down my empty plastic cup with a tiny red straw.
"Maybe you should close your fucking curtains." I say narrowing my eyes.
He just stares.
"Who leaves their curtains open like that when they're changing?!" I say squeaking.
"And you don't have to be so mean! I feel bad okay?! I feel really bad!" I say.
He lifts his cup and takes another sip and crunches a pieces of ice in his teeth, his jaw working and I swallow hard as he watches me try to apologize again.
"You can't just dangle that thing around in the window and expect a girl not to look at it!" I say gesturing at his crotch.
I can see the faint hint of his lips pull at the corner.
"Just cause you have a big cock, doesnt mean you can act like one!" I say and he turns to look at the bartender and points to the bar , and I don't look as I look at him, still not saying a word.
When she comes back he nods to the drink. I turn my head, it's a refill on mine.
I look back to him.
"What's this?" I say pointing at it.
He says nothing and I huff. "So, what...does this mean you accept my apology?" I ask and lift the drink from the counter as he shakes his head.
"Okay, well then what? What do I have to do to prove I'm not a creep and it was really an accident!?" I say.
"Even the score." he says.
My brows pinch. "how? What do you m....no...." I shake my head.
He gives a little smirk.
"Not tonight. You're a bit too drunk." he says and his voice, is a fucking treat and I hate that I've barely heard it tonight.
"Tomorrow morning maybe....or tomorrow night....you saw mine ..Kate" he bites out my name again and I dont know why but I like the angry way in which he says my name and it pumps blood everywhere in my body, and the heat between my legs pools.
"So .. I wanna see yours." he says with a quiet low voice. "Enjoy the drink little creep" he says with a slight smirk and I gape at him as he pushes off the bar counter and leaves me at the bar to walk to the pool table.
"I see you flirting girllll" Kaylee squeals when she comes up next to me and calls for another beer to the bartender.
I look at her and shake my head. "What? No." I keep shaking my head.
"He, like..hates me" I say and Kaylee laughs.
"No he's just a grumpy ass. And probably needs to get laid.. Brian keeps TRYING to set him up, but he's just so damn picky!" she says. "Buuuuuut" she nudges me. "He bought you a drink!" she squeals.
"Yeah....but...no....he's not...interested." I say.
"Whateverrrrrr" Kaylee says. "I'm calling it right now! You're totally going to have his babies!"
