Chapter 2

So, what now? It hasn't even been 24 hours since I moved in and I'm already
drooling over the neighbor. "Snap out of it!" I said to myself and went
upstairs. I found my journal and wrote in the description of my fantasy
man. I flipped through the pages to find my new-year resolutions, and there
it was - "I will not fall for cute guys who I'm not acquainted with". So,
is a 3-minute conversation considered to be an acquaintance? What am I
doing? For all I know the guy's married with 3 kids AND an office
affair. And before I could cause any more brain damage to myself, my Mom
came home.

"Ian, are you up there?"

"Yea, Mom, I'm coming"

"So, did you meet our new neighbor Marc?"

"You mean the guy you asked to check on me, is that what his name is?" I
said trying not to sound too desperate.

"Yes, he's a software engineer and works from home. He's new here too,
maybe 3-4 months"

"Mom, how long have you been talking to him? Seems like you two are hitting
off"

"Ha Ha, very funny Ian, as much as I would want to, I'm in love with your
dad, apparently!"

Sometimes I wonder if my Mom is an undercover CIA agent. Give her a few
minutes and she'll probably create a 15-page report on you, without even
trying. I looked around in the groceries my Mom brought, found my candy bar
and was about to go to my room when the doorbell rang, I told my Mom that
I'll get it and went to open the door. This time I was ready when I saw
"him". "Oh, hi! Mr. umm..." now what? I realized I didn't even realize his
last name, "Oh, it's Reynolds, Marc Reynolds, but you can just call me
Marc. And somewhere in the awkward silence that followed my Mom came to the
door to see who it was.

"Oh Marc, come in, come in. Is anything wrong?"

"No, everything's fine. I just came to check if you needed anything"

"Well, we are out of coffee. And I forgot to pick some up at the store"

"Its okay, I always have lots of coffee around, it helps when I have to
work late, I'll just get some" And just when I was starting to feel
unwanted, my Mom turned to me and asked me to go with Marc and get the
coffee, I never could understand why parents needed so much coffee. Well, I
followed Marc to his place and no one talked till we got there. "So how do
you like it here?" he asked as we entered his place, "Here? Uh, Its quite
nice, peaceful". He looked at me as if I just said something shocking, and
then smiled as I followed him into his kitchen.

His house was well decorated, so just to make an idle chat, I started my
round of questions, "You've got a great house, does your wife do all of
this" He gave me that same look again, and said; "Your Mom didn't tell you
about my umm lifestyle, did she? I'm not married, I live alone, not many
friends either, well I think that might change" and he highlighted that
last part of the sentence with his alluring smile. He handed me the coffee
and walked me back to the door, when I noticed that his walls were filled
with paintings, almost all were of male forms (especially one naked one
that really caught my attention). "I'm guessing you have a thing for art?"
I asked him as he opened the door for me. He laughed and looked back at the
paintings and said, "Oh no, I just like those guys. Well, drop by
sometimes, and tell your Mom if she needs anything I'm a phone call away"

 I thanked him and as I left his porch it hit me, *I just like those
guys*. Hmmm...
