Chapter 2
Sunday morning, the strong sun rays woke Harry up. He decided to drink his coffee in the backyard and read his paper in the morning sun.
In about half an hour he was outside sipping coffee with a muggle newspaper in one hand. He heard a patio door open and close. He could see it was Eleanor from the cracks in the fence. Like always, she was talking on the phone with someone. She's got phone issues Harry thought, but he couldn't help overhearing what she was saying.
"Do you want to come over and try the pool?" she asked the person on the other side of the line. He or she must have said yes because she said "Great! I will call Carsyn (this is a girl's name) and CaNisha and you call Amanda," Eleanor paused for a sec, "sure you can bring your boyfriend" pause "yeah, I am still single," pause "of course there are lots of guys here, and some of them are GOOD looking, but I don't think they are interested in me" pause "K, now got to go, Buh-Bye!" she finally got off the phone.
Oh well, at least she is single. But she is too good looking for me! Harry thought miserably. He was about to go in when he heard Eleanor call, "Hey Harry! Over here Harry!" he walked over to the fence. "What's up?" he said coolly "Well, couple of friends and I are getting together over here at the pool, do you want to come over? Anyway that can be my thanks for fixing the pool!" "Sure," Harry said, "what time?" "In about 30 minutes, see ya!" Harry went in and took out two pairs of bathing suites. He chose a navy blue one and quickly got ready. He got a towel and walked over next door. He knocked a couple of times until Eleanor opened the door. She was already in her bathing suite it was one piece and it violet. She looked so sexy! "Sorry! I was setting up the snacks, come in"
He entered the hallway and there was small table in the corner with a vase filled with flowers. They went through the living room. There was a beige leather couch on one side and there was a big plasma TV on TV stand. There was a small coffee table with fashion magazines spilled everywhere. On the wall there are pictures from her childhood and from now. But above the couch there was a painting of the most beautiful sunset he had ever seen. It was signed, Maria Johansson. "My mother drew this. She was heart broken when I moved out from home, but I grew up!" "Wow! She is good! She must make lots of money, this is beautiful." Harry said still staring at the painting.
They finally went out into the yard and started to wait for the others. Finally everyone came one at a time. They mostly talked about their jobs, the guys swam laps around the pool, and the girls talked about clothes and their make up. One by one people started to leave. Finally, Harry was the only one left.
"You want me to help you with the trash?" Harry asked. "That's would be great!" Eleanor said while she was trying to stack the lawn chairs. Harry quickly gathered up the trash and threw it away in the dumpster. He looked at Eleanor and her slim body and he decided to do something. "I was wondering if you would like to go out for a coffee after we clean up." Harry asked uncertainly "That would be great!" Eleanor said flashing one of her best smiles. "I know this great one down on Griffin Lake Avenue, they make the best coffees. I can drive us there." Harry offered "K, I will be ready in half an hour"
