Her heart was racing and her mind went blank. There he was, before her with his short black hair dripping wet down his muscular neck, then trickling into the well tamed triangular patch of chest hair,finally catching speed through the packs on his fit stomach and traveling into the unknown of his black and blue plaid pajama pants. Adrine was shirtless. All Analisette could think of was how badly she had wanted a front row seat to that in high school. She knew she was being impolite, but couldn't allow herself to look away. It was after all long awaited.
Adrine watched her look at him with desire little did she know that the feeling was mutual. He did not intend on her seeing him like this so soon,but he enjoyed the attention.
Breaking the silence,"Good afternoon," Adrine said with a smile. Still lost in his glistening skin,"Yes it is." Adrine turned his head and silently laughed at her reply. Analisette began to blush realizing what she just said. Finding her Rosy cheeks very alluring he chose to keep his attention on her beautiful brown eyes. "So I take it you found my note?"he said. "Yeah,I nearly tore my apartment to shreds looking for my keys.But thank you for helping me last night. My friend Dia took me out and I became best friends with a group of Pina Coladas. Some welcome back, right?" She said with a guilty laughed. "Might as well live it up, life's too short." He said with a shrug. Analisette caught a glimpse of her watch as she brushed her long brown wavy hair back and realized it was twenty minutes to one. A disappointed Rudolf Brushiwitz ran through her mind, she had told him that she would be at his apartment at noon to discuss any changes that occurred in a year. Shaking the regret out of her mind and remembering her mission,"So, do you have my keys? I have-had an appointment with Rudolf at noon." Adrine slightly closed the door and grabbed them off the set of key hooks behind the door and handed them to Analisette. "Does this mean you'll never speak to me again?" Adrine said jokingly praying she didn't say yes. Analisette smiled then replied,"Maybe,Maybe Not." Analisette began to walk down the hallway to the stairwell since Rudolfs apartment was the next floor under hers. She was at the entrance to the stairs and realized she didn't hear Adrine close his door. Analisette looked back, and there he stood still in his door frame watching her leave....
When Analisette reached Rudolf Brushiwitz apartment door she was the happiest she had been since Jean Luc. Knocking a little jingle on his door hoping that would cheer him up so he wouldn't be too disappointed in her lateness. He opened the door and peeked through the chain lock. "Your late Analisette." Rudolf said annoyed. "Our appointment was for noon that's twelve o clock. Fifty minutes ago." Analisette wanted to slap him for treating her like a child with that statement,but she knew she couldn't say anything wrong or he would find a way to evict her. Composing herself she replied,"I'm very sorry Rudolf,I guess I'm still lagging.It wont happen again." Shutting the door in her face she wanted to pound her fists on the door and scream obscenities, instead she listened as he released the chain lock. Stepping fast careful to not to reveal what might be behind the door, he stood in the hallway with a small packet of papers. Cracking a smile to be polite Analisette stood awaiting Rudolfs instructions. "Okay. Nothing really has changed except the roof and the basement.. Analisette laughed to herself and wished so badly that she could roll her eyes,but looked on attentively. "..The roof is now a garden for the entire building and i ask that you show respect to every ones hard work.You may plant anything you wish but you must clear your choice with me first.. Analisette shook her head with agreeance and continued her act. "..In the basement no one is allowed anymore.No exceptions." Confused,"Where am i supposed to do my laundry Mr.Brushiwitz?" He turned two pages in the packet and showed her the list of the nearest laundry mats. "I have done business with each one and they give everyone a discount.understood?" "yeah, was there any specific reason why we don't have them here anymore?"Analisette said still confused. Rudolf closed the packet and handed it to her opened his apartment door and replied,"Yes.If you have any concerns contact me.Welcome back Ms.Gomez." He shut the door before she could thank him and agree. She began to walk back up to her apartment when she saw two little girls playing in the hallway. Analisette loved kids with a passion and chose to greet them. "Hey girls.Having fun?" They both looked up at her and smiled shyly. "Its OK girls i live right upstairs,Your right for not talking to me,Is your mommy or daddy home so i can ask them if its OK to talk to you." The older looking girl replied,"My name is Abby that's my little sister Susie, Our mommy and daddy are-um-their talking about stuff that's why we have to sit in the hallway, because mommy don't want us to see her cry." Analisettes heart went out to these girls who knows what happen behind their apartment door. "Listen mama,[ripping a piece of paper off her packet from Rudolf and taking out a pen she wrote] I'm going to give you my name:Analisette but you can call me Alise I live in apartment 4A that's the fourth floor apartment "A" and this is my number below my apartment number OK. Give this paper to your mom and tell her if she needs a babysitter or help of any kind to give me a call." Abby followed her every word and shook her head yes and shoved the paper in her pocket. Analisette said bye and went to her apartment hoping and praying that they would be okay.It wasnt long before her worry for those two beautiful little girls and their mother caused her to need fresh air. "Lets see what this Rooftop Garden is all about."
Adrine had worked out after seeing Analisette again. His attempt to get her off his mind for a moment. It only made him work out harder and faster than ever before. He needed some air and to give attenion to his greens in his section of the rooftop garden. Throwing on a white ribbed tank top,blue jeans and worn in tan work boots he headed upstairs to the garden...
