NOSY NEIGHBORS

CHAPTER 1

Robin missed his son. He was at sleep away camp for the next few weeks and despite his best mates that he worked with at his pub he was basically on his own. He vowed to keep himself busy and decided today would be the day he would get some serious cleaning done around the house. He was upstairs in his room; dusting, vacuuming and airing the place out. He opened both windows and looked down at his in-ground pool – that was next on the list. He needed to vacuum and clean that as well. Something caught his attention out of the corner of his eye and he looked over, down and . . . his mouth fell open at the sight of his neighbor sunbathing in her backyard. She was lying on a towel on her stomach she wasn't wearing a top – just bottoms. He cleared his throat and looked away – this was wrong; he shouldn't be watching her. This wasn't the first time he'd noticed her. A wave here or there; they'd even run into each other at the supermarket and smiled. But, they'd never spoken. He looked back toward her yard. Robin was a wimp. He really wanted to talk to her but every time he got near; he chickened out. He ran a hand through his hair and let out a frustrated breath – what a coward he was. He watched as she stood; she wrapped the towel around her body and he sighed – she was breathtakingly beautiful. She went inside and a crazy revelation hit him; he was going to talk to her – now. Robin ran downstairs; grabbed a quick drink of water and began to psych himself up. He could do this. He'd just go next door and ring her bell. He already had a story lined up. Maybe, he wasn't thinking rationally but he owed it to himself to do this. He had to stop watching her and just grow a pair. He walked out his front door and headed over to her house. Robin took one last moment to make sure he was really going to do this and then finally rang the bell. He fixed his hair as best he could and cleared his throat. She came to the door and he raised his hand. She smiled and then opened the door a bit "Hi," he said. "I'm sorry to bother you but . . ."

"You live next door . . . right?"

"Yes, listen I know we've never spoken but I just wanted to let you know you are free to swim if you'd like. It's supposed to be really hot this weekend," he said. She'd put on a white tank top and he was trying very hard not to look at her tits. God they were nice.

She smiled "Wow. Thank you. That's so nice of you. Yes, I heard it's going to be a scorcher this weekend."

"I'll be around. So, feel free," he said.

"I will definitely take you up on that. My name is Regina by the way," she said as she stuck out her hand.

Robin took her hand and then kissed the top of her knuckles "Robin and it's nice to finally meet you."

"Don't you have a son? I've seen him running around in the backyard," she said.

"Roland, yes he's at sleep away camp for a few weeks. It's just me for a while. I own the pub down the street – Locksley's so I'm there quite a bit," he said.

"Oh' you own Locksley's; my girlfriends and I love it there! The house band is really good," she said leaning against the door frame with her arms crossed.

"My friend John is the lead singer. I've never seen you but most of the time I'm so busy managing and . . . I'm sorry I should let you get back to whatever you were doing," he said. He took a step back and put his hands in his pockets "Listen, maybe tomorrow I can put on the barbecue and you could come over – go for a swim? I mean; if you're not busy," he said nervously.

She smiled and tucked a stray hair behind her ear "Oh' I'd like that. Can I bring something?"

"Sure, whatever you'd like; wine, desert? Maybe, around two; does that work for you?"

"Yes, I'd like that. I'll see you tomorrow," she said.

"Alright; I'm looking forward to it," he replied. Robin slowly walked down the steps and then waved. She closed the door and he high-tailed it back to his house. Once inside; he did a little dance – if only John could see him now. He couldn't believe he'd done it – finally! After taking a few minutes to compose himself he went out back to clean the pool. Company was coming tomorrow.

Two hours later; Robin was outside cleaning the pool. He'd decided to have some lunch and throw on a load of laundry before going out to the backyard. He'd stripped off his shirt and was only wearing his black swim trunks. He was basically finished and was just skimming the top of the pool water. It looked gorgeous. A few years ago he decided it was a good investment. Roland took to the water immediately and was learning to dive. He was only seven but was learning quickly. Robin was startled when he heard Regina calling his name from over the fence. He smiled and walked over to her "Hello again," he said.

She smiled "Hi, I was wondering if you like apple turnovers. They're my specialty and I thought I'd make them for tomorrow?"

"That sounds delicious," he replied.

"Good. Also, I know we just made plans to swim tomorrow but my AC unit in my bedroom just died and I've been cleaning up the house and was wondering if I could go for a dip now."

"Oh' of course. I just finished cleaning it. Did you want me to look at your AC unit? I'd be happy to."

"It's alright. My best friend's husband is going to come and bring me a new one tomorrow morning but thank you. I really would appreciate the swim though."

Robin opened the gate "Come on in," he said. He noticed she was wearing a black sundress; and was barefoot – she looked sexy as hell. He was doing his best to stay calm. This was when he realized he was still only wearing his swim trunks. They headed over to the patio set "You can leave that on one of the chairs," he said motioning towards her dress.

"Thank you. This is really nice Robin," she said.

"Thank you. It's taken quite a while for me to get this place the way I want." She took her dress off and Robin couldn't help but notice the way her eyes roamed over his body as she placed it on the back of one of the chairs.

He wondered if he was imagining it but shook off the feeling when she said "It's lovely. I love the diving board." She walked over to it and dove in perfectly. When she broke the surface of the water she was smiling and it did something to Robin's belly "Are you coming," she yelled. She swam to the other side of the pool and was waiting for him; he was nervous. He couldn't believe she was already swimming in his pool in her little black bikini. It was almost as if it weren't real "Robin, are you alright," she asked. He nodded and then stepped onto the diving board and dove in – perfectly. He came up right in front of her and she laughed "This feels great. Thank you for this; I really appreciate it. I know we only just met."

"It's no problem. That's why I came over to over this to you," he said. They lazily lounged in the water for a few minutes until finally he was brave enough to ask "Regina, you moved here two months ago right?"

"Yes, I'm actually a teacher. I'm starting in September. I moved from New York."

"What do you teach," he asked.

"English Literature," she replied.

"Beautiful and smart," he teased.

She laughed "This is technically my vacation. The end of August I'll have to set up my classroom and meet the rest of the faculty. So, I plan to enjoy myself."

"As you should," he said. They swam back and forth and then Regina jumped up on the edge of the pool "So, you're off all weekend from the bar?"

He joined her and ran a hand through his hair "Normally, I would be there but I haven't taken a weekend off in quite some time."

"I'm lucky then," she said.

"Why is that," he asked.

"Well, normally you'd be working but I get to hang out with you and swim."

He chuckled "I'm glad you feel that way."

He couldn't help but notice that she was blushing "I should go. I have to make those turnovers for tomorrow," she said.

"I'll get you a towel," he said. They stood and walked back over to the table. He grabbed a towel from the back of one of the chairs and handed it to her. She wrapped it around her body and he handed her the dress "Take that home with you. You can bring it back over tomorrow," he said motioning toward the towel.

"Thank you for the swim it was lovely."

"You are welcome anytime. I'll see you tomorrow," he said. She nodded and he opened the gate and closed it behind her. He waited until she was inside the house and then let out a breath. He had a giant crush on his next door neighbor and he was pretty sure she was interested in him also. Robin couldn't wait for tomorrow.
