Friday Fictioneers/Peephole

THE CHALLENGE:
Write a one hundred word story that has a beginning, middle and end. (No one will be ostracized for going a few words over the count.)
THE KEY:
Make every word count.

This week's story is 102 words called..... Peephole

Breathing softly, slowly, pressed against my front door. I make no sound, sipping my sangria while I patiently wait his arrival.   
I listen intently for a key in a lock, an open door, and his heavy footfalls. They call  me to my peephole, hoping for a glimpse of the neighbor next door. Every night I dream of him, yearning to touch his thick sinew, lick dark chocolate skin, but just a glance of his half smile is enough for the evening.

There goes that Ghetto swagger right passed my door. I strain to see his backside as he steps away from view. 


Thank you.....please join in on the fun!

    I think it's time for her to make a move - one way or another. Nicely done.

      Fear of rejection is a powerful deterrent.
      Thanks Sandra.

    She's got a serious case of lust - why doesn't she just open the damn door and ask him in?

    Valentine's day is here-she should ask him out-no point in watching and lusting after him secretly ;-)Good one!

    Dear Glynis,

    I wonder where this could be leading. Perhaps, as others have said, she should declare herself. Nicely done.

    shalom,

    Rochelle

      Thank you Rochelle,
      It leads to her first opening the door.

    That crush from distance... so overbearing... but yet so tense... wonder if she ever dare to go forward.

      If only she'll open that door to her passion.

      Thanks Bjorn!
