Neighbors

New Neighbor

It was a hot day, but then in Phoenix when is in it a hot day? Today Diego had to walk home, his mom was working late and like always his dad wouldn't show up until 5.  But it wasn't to bad on the days he had to walk he would walk with his friends, they would go to Circle K and buy Hot Cheetos and a large 44 oz drinks with a lot of ice. They walked together laugh, talk about nothing and one by one said goodbye, Diego only had one friend that lived in the same apartments his friend lived somewhere in the middle Diego in the front they would walk together and wave goodbye by the mail boxes.

Diego's mouth was on fire and his forehead was covered in sweat, Hot Cheetos not the best snack in this weather but he loved them. He took a big sip of his drink, it was mostly ice now, he took the lid off and bit down on the tiny crunchy cubes. It was a great way to stay cool and cool the inside of his mouth. 

He saw a large U-Haul truck, either someone was coming or leaving. As he got closer he could see that they were emptying out the truck, a new neighbor, and it looked like it was next to where he lived. 

The apartment on the building next to where he lives had been empty for about a week a young woman with a cat use to live there his mom called her La Marijuana, because there was always a scent of weed that came from her apartment. Diego's mom was happy to see her go. Someone new, Diego wondered what type of neighbor she or he would be. He took the keys from his pocket, he had to walk pass the apartment, Diego's family live on the second floor. He walked slower trying to get a peek since the door was open, he threw back the cup putting the last couple ice cubes in his mouth. His head turned, and there he was. 

A tall well build guy was coming out, he was wearing jeans and nothing else. The benefits of living somewhere hot, his body was slim, strong muscular arms, abs, square chest covered in dark fur. Diego followed that fur all the way down, a trail of hair circling his belly button and disappearing under his jeans. He had a bulge too, very noticeable, he yelled something to someone inside the apartment. He had perfect white teeth, dark eyes and a jawline cut and turned in all the right places, his face was covered in fur, but trimmed just right. He raised his arm, he had a red bandana, he ran it across his face lifting his arms and flexing. This mans armpits were covered in hair, he tuck the bandana in his back pocket and walked back to the truck not even seeing Diego. His back was just as impressive as his front, square shoulders muscular, his back with a cut in the middle separating his muscles and the jeans grabbed his muscular ass, perfect, and tight. 

Diego was crunching on the cubes and had his keys in his hands, he hadn't stopped walking but maybe he did, he was dazed a man's voice took him out. It was an older man, he was coming towards Diego carrying a box, he had said something. For a second Diego thought the man had seen him staring at the shirtless guy, he felt his face turn red. 

"Hi, good afternoon young man"

"Good afternoon" he was able to say.

"You live upstairs?"

"No, I mean yes but not here on the other side"

"Oh, ok. Well my son is moving in, he's the loud one over there" He pointed with his head, he was definitely pointing at the guy without a shirt. Diego felt his face turn red, he must of seen him staring.

"Ok" the only words he could say.

"It's hot though isn't it, big drink like that would hit the spot. Well it was nice meeting you we still have more stuff to take out the truck" he seemed nice, and maybe Diego didn't look as much as he thought. He saw the muscular guy coming again, he had two boxes his arms flexing. Diego ran up the stairs trying to get to the door before he crossed his path.

He ran inside and shut the door behind him, he leaned on the door the empty cup in his hand. He felt the breeze from the a/c hit his face, a drip of sweat fell from his head down his face. He felt so strange, dizzy like he was going to throw up. He wanted to scream to run, this feeling felt so different from anything he had ever felt before.
