She was touching herself.
My dick pulsed again, extra hard.
I didn’t know what to do so I just stared at the wall. Should I even do anything? WhatcouldI do?
Nothing. That’s the answer, nothing.
But then I heard another moan, I could have sworn I heard my name. I crammed my ear up to the wall, desperate to hear more but it didn’t help.
“Stop it,” I scolded myself. She was doing something very private, and I shouldn’t be eavesdropping.
Okay, she definitely moaned my name that time.
I heard it. Clear as day.
I was reaching for my phone before I could talk myself out of it.
Me:You okay next door?
I heard her phone beep through the wall. Man, the walls really were thin.
Gertrude:Yep!
Gertrude:All good!
Gertrude:Why?
I put my phone down, feeling guilty. What was I doing? Why was I trying to get involved? I didn’t even know if she was doingthat, I just had a suspicion. It’s none of my business.
Me:Oh just thought I heard something, never mind. Night.
Gertrude:Night!
I put my phone down again but was strangely unsatisfied, I wanted to keep talking to her. I kinda missed her even though I only saw her a few hours ago. How weird was that?
Me:Do you put exclamation marks after everything?
Gertrude:Yep!
Gertrude:Anyway if that’s everything, I’m gonna go back to sleep!
I scoffed loudly, “Oh yeah, like you were sleeping!” Then clamped a hand over my mouth, I was still pressed up against the wall. I heard her gasp, and slapped a hand to my forehead.
“Idiot!” I hissed.
I looked back at my phone and saw she was typing.
Gertrude:I heard that!
Me:I know you heard that.
Gertrude:I know you know that I know you heard that!
There was a beat. Neither of us replied and I wanted to goad her, I wanted her chaos all around me. Heronlinestatus taunted me, teased me, she wanted more too.
We were playing with fire.
Flirting with it.
