The Neighbour - Part 2.

'Can you hand me the toolbox first, otherwise I can't help' Estella says. Simon looks to his left, right into her eyes and says 'You are already helping, you don't have to do anything'. Estella frowns and doesn't agree. 'If you don't need my help, i will just lay down for a bit and watch you work'. Simon gets off the bed while Estella lays down. He gets the toolbox and puts it down near the window. 'So are you single?' he asks. 'Yes, I am. It's been a long time since being with someone' she replies. 'Why, you are very pretty and you seem nice' he says while getting some tools out of the box.

'It's not easy to date, especially in a wheelchair' Estella says. She watched Simon climb back on the bed with the tools in his hand and he looks at her. 'I would date you, but you can do way better than me' he says. Estella feels flattered but says 'So why don't you ask me?'. Simon seems to be thinking and is fixing the window at the same time. After a few seconds, he replies; 'Wel first of all, we've only met like an hour ago. And I didn't know you were single. But... If you still like me after tonight we can go out'. Estella says: Let's see first If you can fix this window, but let me know. I won't ask twice.'

They both feel the tention and while Simon is fixing the window. 'What do you do for living?' she asks him. He tells her about his job in IT, and the projects that are all around the world, so he has to travel a lot. Estella is playing with a strap of the top she is wearing. He looks down at her and sees her laying there, with her lifeless legs and nice hair.

'So do you also know about the devotee thing? Sandy was dating one a while back' he says. Estella tries to get to sit back up. She struggles a little. 'Yes, I've heard about it and Sandy told me' she says. 

Simon seems to be finished and gets off the bed. He puts the tools back in the toolbox. 'That was just 10 min work' Estella says. 'Yes, easy fix' he says while looking at her very intens. Estella smiles and Simon walks up to her, goes sit next to her on the bed. 'Sorry for the way we've met' he says. They both laugh and he reaches for his shoes while Estella loses balance and grabs his back to hold her self. 'Oh sorry' she giggles and let her self fall on the bed again. He turns around while sitting. 'So, your balance is that bad' he says. He lays downs next to her. Both with their legs hanging on the edge on the side of the bed. She inhales and exhales deeply tries to rolls on her side, she reaches in the air for some guidance. He takes her arm and pulls her to the side. They look at each other, then he looks at his watch. ' We have 15 min left' he says. Estella smiles and touches his face. He pulls her closer and they can feels each others breath. Hearts are pounding and then her lips touch his. They kiss and it feels so intens that he grabs her closer, holds her tight. 

After a few minutes, he looks at her, and says 'I do need to tell you something'. She aks' What is it?'. 

First thing comes to her mind, could he be a devotee, since he brought it up earlier? She wouldn't care if it was so.

He seems to be doubting to say something. 'I've been intimate with your friend, Sandy'.

Estella pushes him off her, and tries to go sit back up. She feels weird. 'Can you please get me back down stairs and in my wheelchair'. She is not asking, she is demanding. He looks at her but doesn't move. 'I just want to be honest' he says. She looks at the window and just feel stupid. 'Please get me down stairs' she repeats. He stands up and go stands in front of her. He takes one hand and strokes her head. 'Estella, I am sorry.  Maybe If I tell you the story you would understand, please give me a chance to explain' he says. 

She waits. He starts telling. 'I was here 5 months ago, Sandy was naked, she fell during showering, she got to a phone and called me. I came by, and had to help her back into the wheelchair. I helped, made sure everything was alright but I was a little drunk. That night I had a party at my house. And so after I invited her and some time after she also came to my party. Me and my friends had way too many drinks and we did a bet. Very stupid, but the last person who could drink  5 shots,.. so the slowest one... had to kiss...Simon didn't finish his sentence. 'You know Simon, it doesn't matter, just get me down stairs and we will never discuss it again' Estella says. Simon picks her up, very dissapointed they both leave the room and go down stairs. Simon puts Estella back into her wheelchair and she rolls into the kitchen. She looks for plates and cutlery and sets the table. Simon seems to be headed back up stairs again to get the toolbox. After a few minutes Sandy comes back home and seems exited to start cooking. 'Did you make love yet?' she asks. Estella turns red and replies; 'Almost, but then we said you guys were intimate'. Sandy starts to laugh. She rolls up to Estella and put her hand on Estellas knees. 'Dear, he saw me naked a few times, we kissed once when  being drunk and losing a bet. He is a good friend, nothing more' Sandy says. 'That might be the case, but we kissed and the idea is very weird' Estella says. 'I know, but let's make dinner and discuss it at the table. Where is Simon?'. 

Estella: Upstairs I guess.

Sandy: I brought wine, let's just have a glass. 

Estella: Sure.

The two women cut some vegetables and prepare the pasta. After an hour they are almost done. 

Simon gets back, and also pours a glass of wine for himself. Estella and Simon just avoid contact while Sandy is trying to lighten the mood. 'I leave for one hour and I come home to this' Sandy says. It's a joke but also the truth. Estella brings a bowl to the table and Simon puts the glasses down on the table. Sandy joins and they start eating. 'Okay guys, tell me what happened' she asks them. Sandy is always very straight forward.

'Only the truth is spoken in my house' Sandy adds. Simon start to tell what happened and Estella just keeps eating. 'Estella, it was nothing' Simon says. Estella replies 'Look, I don't care. I'm glad you told me. It happened, can we just leave it behind?'. 

After a few more glasses of wine the mood is way better and every body seems to be full from the home made pasta. 

Sandy starts some music and cleans off the table. Simon is sitting across Estella and he says ' Let's do a bet, If you can't make a wheelie for 3 min straight you have to kiss me again. If you can, I will pay you  50 dollars. The wine is talking, and Estella laughs but doesn't agree. 'This is how bad things happen' she says. 'Sandy!' Simon yells. 'Let's do a bet!'.

'I'm always in for one, what's the bet?'Sandy asks. 'If you can do a wheelie for 3 min straight, you get $50' he says. 

Sandy: No, you,.. get in me wheelchair and you two pop a wheelie, the longest holding gets $150, the loser has to kiss me. 

Estella: No... You guys are crazy.

Simon: ahhhww Come onnn...

Estella: You guys do the contest, I will be the prize. I'm not going to compete.

Sandy: Deal!

Simon: Deal!

Estella transfers out of her wheelchair, goes sit on a sofa. Simon takes her wheelchair and they start.

Estella holds a timer, and the countdown begins. After 1 minute Simon already loses the battle. 

Sandy start to yell and rolls to Estella. Simon gets up out of the wheelchair and goes sit next to Estella on the sofa. 

'Can we go again, this wasn't fair!' Simon says. But no, Sandy is already too exited. 'I am the winner, my beautiful lady, I am here to receive my prize' Sandy says. Sandy transfers out of her wheelchair next to Estella. And they both lose balance when Sandy is not balanced trying to lean into Estella. They are laying next to each other and Sandy kissed Estella. Simon watches the two women kiss and sees Sandys hand moving over Estellas breasts. She starts kissing her neck and Estella is just laying down, drunk and with the eyes closed, enjoying her friends lips on her skin.
