[M4F] The Neighbor
All characters and participants are 18+
Mike and Rebecca were your neighbors growing up. They had a 3 year old that you would come babysit for them when you were in high school when they needed a night out together. Rebecca was always a little much. She would have all kinds of crazy rules when you would babysit. Very specific things of what the baby could have for a snack or dinner for example. She was way too controlling and would get upset about even the slightest deviation from her rules. Mike is a lot more relaxed, more let the baby be a baby. He would often be the go between the two of you.
Mike and you developed a friendly relationship. He always complimented you and made you feel at ease. Something you never experienced with the boys your age. You developed a little crush on him. Rebecca was not happy about it and became even more of a bitch towards you.
After a couple years of babysitting your little crush turned into a big one., but you began to notice that Rebecca was becoming more rude and controlling and less affectionate toward Mike. Their nights out became fewer and fewer. Until one day you weren’t babysitting at all. When you were away at school the two got a divorce, Rebecca moved out with their child and now it was just Mike next door.
Depressed about losing his family Mike really didn’t do anything besides work. He believed he was too old to now to date. He often stayed home and took care of yard and pool. Only really socializing with your parents.
That summer you come home from college, unaware about what has happened. As you pull into the old neighborhood, your car filled with boxes you see Mike jogging through the neighbor hood. He’s shirtless, sweating profusely, like he has been running for sometime. You pull up to your parent’s house and realize no one is home yet. Mike turns the corner heads towards his house. His hands on his head, breathing heavy and slowing his jog to a walk. As approaches his home you hear him shout out to you. “welcome back” with a big smile across his face.
