Things are going to be okay

"You can do this, you can do this, it's only a hangout, it was his idea and you decided to go along with it-"

Viola was catching her breath, inhaling and exhaling while staring at a mirror. She made sure she couldn't be seen via window, it would be too embarrassing if they knew how excited she was. Her reflection seemed really damn out of breath, and her heart felt like she had just ran a marathon. But still, she had to go. It was a golden opportunity, she couldn't let it pass her along.

How did this happen? How did things come to this? A week ago, she never even liked her neighbors and now she was blushing about going to see a show with them. Life is truly unpredictable I guess and like the legendary saying goes: Fate promises more twists before this drama unfolds... completely.

Just go in, sit down and just... talk. Just be yourself Vee, you don't need to pretend or any of that. But what if they don't fully like me as myself, then what? Come on, you're overreacting. You guys have been getting awfully close these past several nights. I don't know, does teasing each other count as getting to know each other? I know he has kids, but that was a given before we started doing this. Well what is it that makes you so nervous Vee?

... A lot of things.

I'm nervous because this is so taboo to start a relationship as, even if we are just neighbors. I'm nervous because he's a single dad and like probably twice my age, I shouldn't like him yet I'm crushing on him like if I was in high school. I'm nervous because he has a girlfriend and I sort of like her too, and although I've had my experience with women before I've never like... been with both at the same time! This is weird! This is surreal!

Then they seem to like me too? Ugh, is this going to be a thing now, are we moving forward with this? Are our nights of teasing each other over, are we friends now? So many questions aghhh!

Okay, okay, deep breathes, easy thoughts...

Well what do you like about them Vee?

Well I don't really know them too well to say much, I guess I always loved the fantasy of it, the taboo of it all. I'm not supposed to be seeing a guy twice my age, so that's exciting. I'm not supposed to want his girlfriend too, also a thing. Neighbors aren't supposed to do... that, whatever it is we do through our windows. And then I guess... I'm not supposed to go over and hang out with them, watch a show and see what happens.

But I'm doing it, I'm doing all of that. I'm brushing my hair, putting on makeup and applying my favorite perfume all for him, for her, for them both. It's going to be different, and maybe things won't ever go back to normal, but as nervous as I am I think I'll live. I think... I'm okay with this.

Yea, things are going to be okay.

Viola put her makeup away before reaching for her lipstick. Apply it lightly, gently trace around on your lips, add a little lipsmack to it and... sexy! She smiled at the reflection of the beautiful hot redhead staring back at her. Fuck, they're probably going to think it's a bit much just to hang out. She didn't care, she wanted to look nice so. And it's not like hard red lipstick, the kind she wore on dates, just casual wear so. It made her lips a little more pinkish so... she liked it that way.

Okay, heading out the door, locking it from the inside, done. Checking my purse... my purse! Oh fuck I left it inside my bedroom! Oh shit, my keys!

I'm locked ouuuuuuuuut!

Noooooooooooooooooooooooo! Worst start ever!

No no no, just relax, be cool, and go to his place. You left your window open so, not the end of the world. You got this, you're a winner, and you are feeling the breeze running up your thighs holy fuck it's cold!

Here we are, at his door. I can't tell if I'm shivering from the cold or nervousness. Just ball your hand into a fist, and knock. This will be fine, it's fine! Go for it Viola!
