"The Neighbors"

Maya takes Emily around town showing her all the places she needs to know. They have a great time mixed in with some sexual tension but it really turns out to be a good girlfriend day.

Emily gets back to writing her novel. Hmmmm. Where did the sudden inspiration come from?

Enjoy…

Chapter 5: Getting to Know You

I can't believe I just raced up the stairs to fuck myself in the shower! Damn Maya what are you doing to me? Now I have to get it together so I can spend the day with her. Spend the day with Maya! I can't stop smiling, I'm excited but I hope I don't give myself away. You can do this Emily you're just friends but what kind of friends? The doorbell rings I know it's Maya. Is my hair okay, my make-up, my clothes? Oh my god, you're just going shopping, relax. I take a deep breath, letting it out slowly as I descend the staircase to answer the door. I take another breath as I open the door and there she is…she's leaning against the door frame peering over her sunglasses that she slides down the bridge of her nose to look at me.

"Hey." I say trying to mask my excitement.

"Hey beautiful," she says as she eye sexes me without even trying to conceal it.

I can't believe she just called me Beautiful! I like it.

"Ready. I figured you should drive so you get a feel for where you are. Are you okay with that?" she asks with that head tilt. Damn that head tilt.

"Yeah sure. Let me just grab my bag."

She strolls into the house looking around with her sunglasses now on top of her head.

"Looks like you're almost completely moved in."

"Yeah, I figure by the end of the weekend we'll be done."

"Well, if I can help in anyway, don't hesitate to call me," she says with a wink.

"I'd like that."

"I guess I should give you my cell number. Let me have your phone," Maya insists.

She takes my phone, puts in her number handing it back to me with a sort of mischievous eyebrow arch. As we make our way out the door, she asks me to text her so she can store my number in her phone. I type in 'Maya' but it doesn't just say Maya when it comes up, it says her name with a heart at the end of it. I can't help but smile, damn this girl gets right to it every time and I like it!

When we arrive in town Maya points out all the places I should know including a movie theater to go to if you're not really going to see the movie. My eyes open wide and I can feel her eye sexing me again. So I ask,

"Do you and Josh go there often?"

"We used to. Not so much anymore. I'm thinking maybe I should start going again."

"With just yourself?" I ask.

"No…I have someone in mind," she says while looking me directly in the eye.

We are caught in each other's eyes unable to move until a car honks its horn breaking us out of our hypnotic gaze. We both clear our throats while I drive us to park the car. Maya suggests we get a coffee at the coffee place she likes to go to. We sit down across from each other but I can't help watching her mouth as she sips from her cup. She leaves a glossy mark from her lips on the lid which captures my attention causing me to lick my own lips.

"Hey, are you there?" Maya asks.

"Oh sorry, I was just thinking."

"Thinking about what?"

Your eyes, your mouth, your lips…

"Oh ummm. I guess I was just thinking about tomorrow. I'm anxious to go to the city and to see your paintings," I quickly come up with.

"Well if you're that anxious, when we get back, I'll show you my studio," she says with the utmost sincerity.

"You have a studio in your house?" I ask surprised.

"Yes. I'm not in the city everyday so I need someplace to be creative."

"I'd love to see it!" I say way too excitedly. I can tell she catches on.

"I'd love to show you," she counters with her sexy eyebrow arch.

I smile back at her because every time she winks or head tilts or gives me an eyebrow arch, I get all tingly and I think she knows it. Damn you Maya for being so effing confident! But I like it!

When we finish our coffees Maya takes my hand bringing me with her to walk through the rest of the town. The thing is she doesn't let go. We hold hands the whole time and she seems unfazed by this which makes me unfazed by it. It seems so natural. We've got our sunglasses on, we're laughing, we're talking about all kinds of things, we're holding hands and I like it!

We make our way back to the car and drive home. Maya helps me bring my new purchases into the house before we go to her place so she can show me her studio. I'm excited to see it because Maya lights up whenever she talks about her paintings revealing her vulnerability which I think makes her even sexier! And I like it…

"Okay, are you ready?" Maya asks so sweetly.

"Yeah, whenever you are," I reply endearingly.

I follow her through the open door into a large open space. Maya turns to me raising her shoulders with her arms extended until they rest against her body.

"Well, this is it," she says kind of naively.

"It's beautiful. It's perfect." Like you, I think to myself.

"I know it's kind of messy with my easels and brushes and paint everywhere."

"No. It's just as an art studio should be. I might've doubted that you really are an artist if it wasn't a little unkempt," I laugh.

"It's my home away from home I suppose. I spend a lot of time here."

"Why's that?"

"Because there were no Emily's to hang out with, that is until you got here."

And I am so glad about that! I want to be your only Emily! I can't stop smiling just thinking about it!

"Do you have any finished paintings I could see?"

"Yes. But most of them are at the art gallery so you can see them tomorrow."

"Can I see the one you have here?" I ask curiously.

Maya pulls a drop cloth down revealing her work. I'm standing there with my mouth agape at this unbelievably beautiful painting. It's Maya. It's nude Maya. I like it…a lot!

"You painted yourself nude? Was it hard to do?"

"Josh took a picture of me so I could use it as a reference point. I was really missing him and I wanted him to remember me always."

"It's absolutely gorgeous, all of it, the color, the pose, the strokes. You are truly talented."

I try to memorize every curve, every bend, every everything!

Why isn't it hanging up?"

"Because I didn't want to share my body with just anyone."

"Then why show me?"

"Because I wanted to share my passion with you and hopefully one day you'll be able to share your passion with me," Maya says with a hint of modesty.

"I'm looking forward to it," I say with Maya's confidence throwing in a raised eyebrow just for her.

She notices and smiles widely. Wow talk about role reversal! I like it! We make our way to the pool deck to sit at her bar. She offers to make me a cocktail, how can I refuse?

"So what's your pleasure?" Maya asks all flirty.

Ultra confident Maya is back! I like it…

"I guess it would be tequila."

"Hmmm. I wouldn't have guessed that."

"Really what would you have guessed?"

"Maybe a fine wine, a very fine wine," Maya says quite seriously staring deeply into my eyes.

I have to look away before I am able to respond.

"Is wine your drink of choice?" I ask.

"It was but I think I have a new drink of choice," Maya says while eye sexing me like it's the most natural thing to do to another woman.

Oh my god! All I can think about is another sexy shower!

"Do you drink your tequila mixed with anything?"

"I like it straight."

"Straight? I wouldn't have figured that."

"Why? You don't think this body can handle it?" I say quite boldly.

This time her eyes open wide and her lips part to take a breath.

"Well then, let's see just what your body can handle."

Maya drinks one with me and I have to say it slides down so easily.

"Mmmmm. That's nice," I say with eyes closed while licking my lips savoring the taste.

"You have no idea," Maya reacts leaning over the bar.

I open my eyes to see that her eyes are focused on my mouth. I take another sip licking my lips again forcing Maya to shake her head. Hmmmm. What images are forming in her mind I wonder? The husbands will be home soon so we better slow down.

"Well, I better go. I have a dinner to cook," I say not really wanting to leave.

"I have to cook too so why don't you just stay and we'll cook together. That is if you're okay with that?"

"That would be great cuz I really don't want to leave…I mean, go home to cook," I try to recover quickly.

"If it makes a difference, I don't want you to leave either," Maya says genuinely, not at all flirty.

Maya places her hand over mine squeezing it gently before leading me into the kitchen. I take it willingly. I think I would follow her anywhere…

I am amazed by Maya's culinary skills. She pulls a whole chicken out of the fridge and goes to work cutting, chopping and stuffing…her hand slips into the bird pulling out the unnecessary innards replacing them with the stuffing she prepared. She takes it in her hand very delicately slipping it into the narrow opening, she doesn't force it; she eases into it. Her hand goes as far as the bird will allow before she pulls out slowly. Damn! Her whole hand fit into that narrow opening…I take my tequila and finish it off in one gulp. Does this woman even know? Does she even know how incredible she is?!

I set the table for four while Maya finishes up in the kitchen. It's perfect. However, when the husbands arrive, I have this overwhelming feeling of disappointment. Josh kisses Maya on the lips, Ryan kisses me on the lips but I can't shake the need within me to have Maya kissing my lips…

We sit so that Maya and I are seated next to each other. She tells the guys about our day and they talk about how they will be traveling on business next week leaving Maya and I to play…

Now I'm smiling and engaging in the conversation. I think Maya catches on because she has ever so discreetly placed her hand on my thigh causing me to choke on the water I'm drinking.

"Are you okay," Maya asks so sweetly.

Ryan pats my back while Maya's hand stays put.

"Thanks Ryan. I'm fine. It just went down the wrong way. I'm fine now, really," I insist while Maya moves her hand between my legs ever so casually like it's nothing.

Her hand stays there. I think she wants to see how far I will let her go. I think I want to see how far she will actually go. I do nothing. It's a silent challenge. I like it.

"So, what are you girls doing tomorrow?" asks Josh.

"I'm taking Em to the city to show her the Art Gallery and some of my paintings."

"Maya is really good. All the paintings you see in the house are hers. She is so passionate about them and I have to admit they're absolutely beautiful just like Maya," Josh says so lovingly.

Maya removes her hand from my thigh placing both hands on Josh's face bringing him in for a kiss on the lips, a kiss that lasts a little too long for my liking. My smile quickly disappears.

"Well that dinner was amazing. Thank you so much Maya for doing this," Ryan says while giving Maya a kiss on the cheek which she responds to with a kiss on his cheek.

"It was amazing," I agree still wondering why she showed me her nude portrait when all these other paintings of hers are out in the open.

Maya saunters over to me putting one hand on my waist and the other on the nape of my neck. She pulls me into her and I swear she's going to kiss me smack on the lips and I'm frozen. My breathing has quickened, I think even a drop of sweat rolls down the side of my face. But instead she places her mouth a breath away from my earlobe whispering,

"I can't wait to show you around tomorrow. Don't worry I'll definitely make it worth your while."

And then she kisses my cheek. My smile comes back as I say with a blush creeping up on my face,

"Yeah, tomorrow. I'm so looking forward to the city with you."

"Let's go hon," nudges Ryan.

"Maya do you need any help cleaning up. I don't mind staying to help," I offer a little too insistently.

"Thanks Emily but I've got this. Maya cooks, I clean, it's only fair," Josh explains so endearingly.

"Okay, I'll see ya then if you're sure," I say with disappointment in my tone and a fading smile.

"Em, it's fine. You have me all to yourself tomorrow," Maya winks.

I can't help but smile again. Ryan takes my hand leading me home while my mind wanders to thoughts of our day together and what's to come in the city…

When Ryan and I get home, he takes a shower going straight to bed as he has another early day tomorrow. I go to the study, get on my laptop and open the file labeled "Novel". When it comes up I highlight the entire thing and press delete. I decide to take a different approach. I type for a couple hours until my mind becomes so cluttered with thoughts of nude Maya, Maya, Maya, Maya! I have to stop. I save my work, shut down my laptop and decide to take a bath.

I put my hair up, fill the tub with water and pour in the bath bubbles forming a white cloud of lavender. I take off my clothes step into the water slipping slowly underneath the white cloud. I close my eyes sliding my hands up and down my extended arms. I bend my leg placing my hands at my ankle gliding them towards me as my leg stretches outwards with a pointed toe. I'm feeling very sexy as my thoughts drift off to the one I can't be with...her hair, her eyes, her lips, her mouth, her legs, her arms, her hips, her smile, her laugh, her beauty. I feel myself leaning against her naked body in my lavender scented bath. Her hands are sliding down my arms which I keep close to my body while her breath whispers against my exposed neck, her hands continue their journey to my legs, stroking my inner thighs all the way up to my sexy place. Her right hand stays there while her left hand slips up to my breast squeezing it with just the right amount of vigor. Maya rubs my clit unceasingly making me tilt my head back moaning out loud as I cum fast and furious. I'm lost in my thoughts and don't realize how vocal I've become. Suddenly there's a knock on the door.

"Hey Emily, are you okay in there?" asks Ryan concerned.

"Hmmmm?" is all I can manage as I have to grab the side of the tub with my left hand to keep from sliding down further. Talk about being smacked back into reality.

Ryan opens the door to make sure.

"What, yeah, I'm good," I insist as I pull my right hand out from between my legs.

"Just making sure, you sounded…I don't know like you were in distress or something."

"I'm not in distress I'm just getting ready to get out of the tub that's all," I say in a kind of annoyed tone as my beautiful Maya moment has been interrupted.

"You sure?"

"Yeah I'm just going to finish up and then I'll come to bed."

"Okay, I'll probably be asleep so good night."

Ryan kisses me on my forehead then goes to bed. I slink deep into the tub as I can't believe I just got caught having sex with myself while thinking about having sex with Maya! What am I going to do? This is normal, right? Someone new and exciting comes into your life and it's only natural that you're drawn to them, that's all, I try to convince myself but deep down inside, I know it's so much more than that…

And I know I like it…

I love the getting to know you stage of their relationship.

Definitely the city next time!

Where have I seen the term 'sexy shower'? Well wherever I saw it I hope it was okay that I used it in this story.

I thank you!
