1 Week Later
Courtney had her day off. Well, Courtney had a few days off throughout the week cause she knew how to schedule things to her benefit.
Courtney laid on her couch eating chocolate candy bars and drinking her Oreo milkshake while watching pretty little liars. Courtney was getting into the show when the sound of her phone filled the room.
She paused the show with annoyance and looked at her phone to see who was calling her. When she saw it was Bridgette her previous annoyance evaporated and answered the phone.
"Hey Bridge." Courtney greeted.
"Hey, court! What are your plans today?" Bridgette asked getting straight to the point.
"Nothing really today's my day off. Why?" She asked
"Well, I don't know if you remember Gwen or Trent from Geoff's anniversary party from 3 years ago..."
Courtney's brained scanned for any remembrance of the names of "Gwen and Trent" but nothing came to her mind.
"I don't think. Maybe I just remember the face."Courtney shrugged.
"Yeah, but they moved here a few days ago and Geoff's best friend since elementary moved here like a week ago. We're all hanging out at Trent's house, do you want to come? Heather and Alejandro are coming, even though Gwen and Heather don't like each other." Bridgette mumbled the last part bitterly.
Courtney just laughed "sure hope the people I'm meeting aren't annoying as my neighbor."
"What's wrong with your neighbor? Did you get a new one?"
"Yes! I don't know who the hell this guy is but for the last week, he's been a pain in the ass. He has sex nearly every night and the girl is always loud! Then he always plays loud rock music!" Courtney exclaimed pissed off just recalling all the things her new neighbor does.
"Have you talked to him and asked him to shut the hell up?" Bridgette asked.
"Well, Abraham has. He said that he is the most revolting thing ever and arrogant. "
"You should tell your landlord, maybe he can make him shut up."
"I already did but he didn't do anything! We reported this guy 3 times." Courtney said frustrated.
On the phone, Courtney heard a guy mumbling in the background. Obviously Geoff. Bridgette giggled and said something in a hushed tone.
"A-Anyways maybe you should give him a piece of your mind. Maybe you'll scare him." Bridgette stuttered out slightly distracted.
Courtney briefly wondered what was going on, on the other line but dismissed the thoughts.
Courtney was appalled "I am not scary! I am very approachable and friendly"
"Oh so is that way Harold was scared of you for 3 years?" Bridgette teased.
"Ugh that doesn't count and you know it! He deserved it!" Courtney said trying to prove her point.
Courtney heard the phone rustle for a second. Whoever had the phone was running. She could tell it was Geoff cause she Bridgette screaming "give me back my phone!"
"Hey, mocha!"Geoff hollered into the phone.
Courtney immediately moved the phone away from her ear " hi Geoff." Courtney said with a faint smile.
"So is it okay if Bridgette texts you the address and I go have sex with Bridgette?" Geoff asked casually.
"Eew Geoff TMI?!" Courtney said disgustedly.
"Geoff Give me my phone!" Said Bridgette running into the room.
Both of them wrested for the phone until the phone fell on the floor with a thud.
"Dammit, Geoff you hung up the phone." Bridgette snapped.
"Sorry, babe I just wanted some more time with you!"Geoff pouted.
Courtney rolled her eyes and was going to announce the phone call was still going. That was until she heard a weird noise, confused she listened and was disgusted out of her mind when she heard Bridgette moan.
Courtney swiftly hung up the phone, grossed out.
Once she recovers from what are heard she played her show.
After 3 episodes of her show, she heard her neighbor blast loud rock music.
She groaned and as try to ignore it but she lost all her patience when she heard loud screaming.
Courtney stood up annoyed marched to the door then stopped when she realized that she was in her underwear.
Courtney quickly grabbed her silk pink robe that went to her mid-thighs and tied it tightly around her waist and put on her matching pink house shoes and stormed out to the neighbor's door and knocked on the door aggressively.
At first, the music Courtney could've sworn the music got louder which infuriated her even more and she banged on the door.
The music suddenly turned off and footsteps were heard with a string of profanity as heard.
Courtney has heard that voice before but she couldn't recall where maybe it was at the store?
The door opened to show the annoying man from the elevator "look Abe I don't give a damn if your a lawyer or not-" he stopped when he saw Courtney standing there.
"Well well well, if it isn't the Princess herself."Duncan drawled out with a smirk.
"First turn your fucking music down I'm tired of hearing it! Second, my name is not "Princess ". It's Courtney!" Courtney snapped.
"Woah someone's snappy today. I've must've interrupted something..." he looked her up and down "oh yeah I know why you're pissed. You were masturbating and you didn't get to finish." Duncan said nodding.
Courtney blushed wildly" wha-I-I was not mast-"
"It's okay babe If your sexually frustrated, I happen to be an expert that can help you with your problem," Duncan said with a wolffish grin.
"No, you pig! I'm pissed cause your fucking music is blaring! And I am not sexually frustrated!" Courtney coldly said.
"Hmmm looks like it to me babe."Duncan teased.
Courtney just glared at him "shut up! Just turn your music down!" She snapped before storming back into her apartment.
Courtney sat on the couch and checked her phone to see she got a text from Bridgette.
She texted her the address and had to be there around 4 pm.
Courtney looked at the time and it was 12:45.
She got up and went to her bedroom and went to her bed. She felt tired as she laid down thinking.
Courtney started thinking about Abraham and herself and realized that their sex life was boring. He never really did anything outside of the box. She'd always give him a blow job and he'd barely eat her out for more than 15 seconds. Then they'd have sex in the same positions. It was always her on her back or her standing up against hands against the wall with her ass poked out.
She wanted to spice things up and she was going to.
——————————
Courtney walked out of her apartment in a black short sleeve crop top with light blue skinny jeans and black converse.
She put on her silver hoop earrings and her clear lipgloss along with her purse. She quickly double-checks to make sure she had everything.
Phone? Yup. Wallet? Keys? ...where the hell are my keys.
Courtney scanned the room for her Keys and found them on the counter.
She grabbed her keys and headed out the door, locking it on the way out.
Her phone started ringing before she was walked away from her door.
She grabbed her phone and saw it was Abraham.
Courtney sighed. She didn't feel like talking to him at the moment but it could've been important.
"Hello?"
"Hey sugar, just wanted to see how you are doing."
Courtney mentally cringed at the Nickname he gave her that she once adored.
"Hey and I was just about to head over to Bridgette's house, I was going to go to the store she asked me to get hotdog buns and some vegan stuff she liked," Courtney informed him.
"Oh okay," he said not interested.
"Do you want to come? It's just a hangout."
"Uh, I don't know I'm not really a fan of Geoff he's too loud," Abraham said into the line. She could hear the frown in his voice.
Courtney sighed "okay well what time are you going to be home?"
"Uh about 9ish-10ish it just depends how fast I can get this paperwork done."
"Okay, I'll be home around that time if I'm not there you can come by if you change your mind I'll text you the address."
"Okay sugar see you later. Love you."
Courtney cringed again at the pet name for her. "Yeah, you too."
She hung up the phone and put it in her purse making her drop her keys again.
She silently swore and reached down to get her keys. Fate must've hated her today cause her neighbor came out as well.
Duncan let out a whistle at Courtney which Courtney glared at him. "Pig!" She said walking away with her keys in her hand.
Duncan just smirked as she walked down the hall to the elevator.
——————————————————
Courtney parked in front of the house and walked up to the house. It was pretty nice. Very modern. Courtney called Bridgette and told her she was there. Courtney stood at the door with the food Bridgette requested in hand waiting for Courtney to open the door.
Soon Bridgette opened the door with an excited smile "hi Court! I'm glad you made it and yes! You got it! Your such a lifesaver" She smiled hugging her. Courtney hugged back "well of course I made it." She laughed.
While they walked inside Bridgette decided to introduce Courtney after they put the food in the kitchen. Courtney automatically remembered the guy from her apartment that day when that Duncan guy came into her apartment.
"Hey, Trent this is Courtney my best friend." Bridgette introduced.
"Nice to meet you," Courtney said politely.
"Hey it's nice to meet you too... this might seem crazy but have I seen you before?" he asked eyes shining with remembrance.
"Yeah, I've seen you moving boxes in my apartment building." Courtney meekly said
Trent snapped his finger "thank god you told me that was going to drive me insane until I remembered. It's nice to see you again."
Courtney smiled back as Bridgette, Trent, and Courtney began to have a conversation when a girl with dark brown hair and teal highlights came up to them. She wore a black skirt and a matching black crop top.
"I don't think I've seen you around I'm Gwen," Gwen said with a small smile.
"Courtney it's nice to meet you." Courtney smiled.
"Sorry to break the meeting but I wanna steal my best friend thank you," Heather said sending Bridgette and Trent a smile then scowling at Gwen before walking away with Courtney.
"Heather why don't you like her?"courtney questioned walking next to Heather.
"Because she's a bitch. And she always dresses like roadkill and would it kill to get a tan?" Heather said flicking her hair.
Courtney just rolled her eyes.
"I agree Mi Amore she could use a bit of sun, "Alejandro said smoothly putting his arm around Heather's shoulders.
"See even he agrees with me." Heather pointed out which resulted in another eye roll from Courtney.
"Wait till you meet Duncan though he's a great guy," Alejandro says.
Courtney thinks about her asshole neighbor and shakes the idea from her head. What a stupid idea.
Heather just scoffed " you mean a skeez."
Alejandro chuckled at that before leaving to get Heather a drink.
"Anyways how are you and Abraham?" Heather lead Courtney outside to the patio chairs.
The only person there was Geoff, grilling the food and he didn't even notice them come out the cause of his earphones blaring in his ear "Taaaakkeee mee on! I'll be gone in a day or tooooo!!!!!" He sang horribly.
Courtney sat across from Heather "honestly I feel like everything is so boring. It's like ever since I caught him cheating I just feel different I can't explain it. It's like everything seems dull now." Courtney sighed.
"Do you not love him anymore? Maybe you lost feelings for him." Heather questioned.
"It can't be that... maybe I don't trust him as much as I used to. Well I mean I trust him now after counseling and stuff."
"Wait so how do you feel about him right now. Describe how your feelings towards him."Heather says.
"I just feel like when I see him I still feel resentment towards him for what he did and a small part of me can't trust him. Sometimes I dread seeing him cause it's like he sucks the fun out of everything or is just so self centered it ruins everything. Then not to mention my sex life is boring. He on the other hand doesn't see anything wrong with it. We always do the same positions the same thing and he doesn't do certain stuff. I never really noticed this stuff until after I caught him. I don't know I just feel like my life is boring." Courtney shrugged looking away.
"Maybe you just need a break or something to bring back your spark?"Heather suggested.
"That's what I'm thinking. I'm just glad that counseling worked cause he seems to spend way more time with me now than he use to." Courtney said.
"Have you checked his phone?"Heather asked.
"No-why would I do that? I'm not going to invade his privacy!"Courtney asked baffled.
Heather sighed " some men don't stop cheating they just hide it better. He's the one who fucked up your trust so you're entitled to."
"Besides it's not like he has to know," Heather added on.
"Well, I'll keep that in mind," Courtney said doubtfully.
Heather was going to say something but Bridgette came outside and interrupted "Geoff! Your best friend is-"Bridgette stopped yelling when she noticed Heather and Courtney sitting there.
"There you are I want you to meet Duncan!"Bridgette said excitedly.
"Please don't tell me he has green hair and piercings with a choker," Courtney begged.
Bridgette looked at Courtney like a small naked Leprechaun Jumped on Courtney's head and started dancing "uh yeah...how'd you know?"
"That's my asshole neighbor!"Courtney raged.
"Woah seriously? Okay, now I see what you mean." Bridgette chuckled.
"Told you he was a skeeze." Heather implied snootily.
"Okay come on Duncan isn't that bad he's actually very nice once you get to know him."
"Nice? I don't think so Malibu but thanks." A male velvet voice flowed from the doorway.
All three girls looked back to see Duncan leaning against the doorway "Alejandro told me Geoff was out here. But look I see the Queen baldie, Malibu Barbie, and my uptight neighbor."
"Shut up! Don't you have a Celine Dion standee to run from?" Heather snapped.
"Careful Heather I might get a sumo wrestler for your birthday." Duncan fired back.
"Okay okay okay, I was going to introduce you guys but you know each other already so yeah no need to argue," Bridgette said awkwardly.
"Can't promise anything," Duncan smirked before making his way to Geoff leaving the three girls by themselves once again,
"Ugh, how can you like him!? He's disgusting and aggravating." Courtney said indignantly.
"I agree." Heather added on
Alejandro walked through with Heather's drink and Heather got up so he could sit down. Once he sat down she said on Alejandro's lap.
"Anywho so guess who I saw at the..." Bridgette said changing the subject much to Courtney's pleasure.
——————————————————————————-
Courtney sat in the chair with a glass of wine in her hands talking to Heather, Geoff, and Trent. Her phone rang bringing her out her thoughts. She looked at the caller ID and saw it was her husband.
Courtney got up and excused herself before left the room to the empty kitchen. Not seeing the eyes trailing on her as she left.
"Hello?" She answered the phone
"Where are you?" Abraham said getting straight to the point.
"I'm at Trent's house," Courtney replied.
"Who the hell is Trent? And you said you were going to Bridgette's house."
Courtney mentally faced palmed herself. She forgot to send him the address.
"I meant to say we're going one of Geoffs old friends. Bridgette and Heather are here and we're hanging out-"
"You didn't even send me the address?" He interrupted annoyed.
"Well sorry, I forgot. I'll just send you the address okay. "
"Okay fine," Abraham said frustrated before bluntly hanging up the phone.
Courtney huffed and sat down on the stool to the island.
She just wanted time to recollect her thoughts for a moment. Unfortunately for her a voice she grew to hate broke the silence.
"What's wrong Princess having problems with your boy toy?" Duncan teased. Duncan put the pieces that she was married and found out that Courtney was a goody goody with a snooty attitude. So he gave her a nickname she didn't like. Princes.
Courtney shot daggers at him "first do not call me Princess my name is Courtney. Second, get out."
"Aht aht aht Princess is that any way to talk to your neighbor? What happen to being neighborly?"Duncan smirked.
Courtney groaned "what the hell.." she exasperated out.
"Do you want from me?" Courtney snapped the rest. However Duncan didn't answer, he grabbed a clean glass and the bottle of wine. Duncan poured a glass of wine standing up and tossing Courtney a knowing grin like he knew something she didn't.
Even though she didn't want to talk to him she did want to know. "Hello did the dye in your seep into your eardrums?"
He turned around "Babe I don't want anything from you. It's you who gonna want something from me."
Courtney looked baffled at what he said: "excuse me?"
Duncan took a sip of the wine before walking closer to Courtney "babe I can tell when a woman is sexually frustrated and you definitely are. Clearly, your boy toy at home isn't doing it for you." Duncan said knowingly.
"Your wrong! You don't know anything about my sex life you ass!"courtney spat. Usually, people would get the hint and back off or even get angry but Duncan just looked amused. He leaned towards her ear "you say that now but I know that boy toy doesn't give you the orgasms you deserve sweetheart. So when your ready to be satisfied...you know where to find me." Duncan said flirtatiously.
Courtney felt her breath hitch and her body gets turned on at Duncan's words. She was trying to calm her body down and Duncan chuckled at her lack of words.
"See you later Princess," Duncan smirked walking back towards the doorway.
"That's not my name!" She called out frustrated that she let him win that.
