Be bold…approach

You breathe deep and walk to your drawer with a plan. You pull out a smaller bong with a bowl already loaded.

You take the towel off your head and wrap it around your body, ensuring it’s secure. You flip the lights on in your house, looking out of your peripherals at your neighbor, not facing him. You see his head move in your direction, his attention grabbed by the activity.

“Perfect.” You think. You make sure your bright porch lights turn on. You open your door and take your bong outside, still eying stealthily your neighbor without facing him. His head follows you across your yard, and disappears as you sit at your table.

You wait for a minute, then initiate your plan.

“Shoot!” You exclaim out loud as you stand up. You see out of the corner of your eye, the neighbor took notice.

Now you face him, and he is almost surprised when your eyes meet. Your heart flutters too, but you resolve not to lose confidence.

“Heeyy~” you say in a sickening fake sweet voice as you wave. Yuck why did you do that.

He gives a smile and a wave with his joint hand.

Thank god.

“Do you have a light? Thought I had it out here but..” you shrug holding up your bong.

“Sure.” A simple response. His voice melts your core. He strolls toward the fence.

Tall he peers over it at you smiling still. An outstretched hand holds a lighter.

“Thank you.” You say taking the lighter. “Did you…?” You offer your bong his way and he merely holds up his joint in response.

You shrug, “we could share, swap if you want?”
