Susan suddenly appeared in front of me, "I heard the Walters are your new neighbors? "
I chuckled, "Is that a question or....?"
"Answer me!" she demanded.
I knew how she felt, I also felt the same way when I saw their convoy of cars pull up that day.
"Yes" I replied and when she shouted "OMG"
did I realize it was a trap, a lot of girls and boys pulled up in front of me, who would have thought that being neighbors with a family would turn me into a celebrity over night.
"How did you manage to be neighbors with them?"
A girl asked, and for a split moment, I was embarrassed. "What do you mean, Pat has always lived there" Susan spoke on my behalf.
The girl seeing that it was getting out of hand as other people started staring at her began to defend herself, "I meant, I didn't expect them to move to a place like that. I know they'll go somewhere more .... secluded".
"Well, I live in an estate, so I guess it's secluded enough." I answered.
"Have you started making friends?" another girl asked.
somehow I knew what they all meant to ask or rather whom they were asking about.
CHARLES WALTER! Who didn't know him
Everything about CHARLES screamed Sexy
From his face, to his daily workout routines, which I'm sure no girl in this class has missed because of his physique, to his wealth, his fame, his circle of friends.
CHARLES was just that guyyy any girl would open her legs for, without his asking.
"I'm working towards it. Their security is really tight and all, but I'm working towards it".
"I heard no one is allowed to move into the neighborhood anymore. How close is their house to yours?"
"Theirs is opposite mine"
"OMG, you are soooo luckyyyy" the girl exclaimed. Some felt genuinely happy, others not, of which I gathered must be Jealousy
Susan on the other hand was all over me to get her Charlie's number.
"You are not that type of girl, but me? I don't mind. Maybe I could pay you a visit and then we could ....."
"what?" I asked, interested in the part she was intentionally leaving out.
When she kept winking at me,.I decided to burst her bubbles, "Suzzy, their security is really tight. No one goes in without an invitation. And now? I think it also applies to the main Estate gate."
The disappointment on her face made me laugh.
truly I was indeed Lucky. If not for Gramps, we wouldn't be living in a place like that. That was why I understood the girl who was shocked that I lived there.
Where I live didn't show in how I dress and carry myself.
When I got home however, I caught mother staring at The Walter's home
"Pat, did you know that Ms J is a housewife?"
I shook my head, "Hello Mother"
She seemed to get herself for a bit, "Hey" she greeted back before continuing her statement, like she was annoyed at my interruption.
"I've been watching them since morning. She swam today, drank champagne while reading a book, fixed her nails and called for massage".
"How did. you know that?" I asked, she looked at me, frowned and continued. "Since I had nothing to do, I decided to see what they were up to".
She sighed and continued, but left the porch, "This is the type of life I want to live. Carefree, and at Peace. Not having to work and yet being taken very good care of."
she sat on the dining room , watching me eat, "She has children your age."
I smiled, "I know "
"I don't think they'll be that strict with us, since we're their neighbors"
"we're not their only neighbors, Mom"
"The less boring ones". I chuckled "I mean we can't be compared to those Old people and their caregivers" she continued, smiling
"We are not in their league, Mom"
"Don't say that" was her only reply. But she knew it was true. We all knew.
That night, I lay in bed, naked, legs wide open, fingers inside of me as I fingered myself to the video of Charles.
Susan was wrong, I am also that type of girl.
