The Next Door Down// Gawsten

III

     "How's lover boy?" Otto asked as he walked through my front door. "None of your business. " I said matter of factly. He only scoffed in response. At this point, I'd been walking Charlie for about a week and a half, and seeing Awsten every morning became routine. He was quite charming, and not to mention very good looking, but Otto didn't need to about that.
     Otto and I had been watching TV silently, when suddenly he says "Why don't you  just ask him on a date?". I shake my head, "Wow, Otto I've never thought about that!" I falsely exclaimed with sarcasm. "Did you think about the fact that I barely know the guy and I can't even order for myself at places like McDonald's, what makes you think I can just waltz next door and say 'hi, I walk your dog, wanna go on a date'?" I said. Otto just shrugged and left.
