WHY ME? by Mike Nach Page A

Hollywood,
drug wars, corrupt politicians…….. were passé.
    Vampires were the new
hot story!

BASIC INSTINCT?
     
    It was Sunday morning
when the doorbell rang. Standing on our doorstep was Eve.
    Eve was our new, next
door neighbor. When did she move into her apartment? Where were her household
things? It was as if she had mysteriously arrived from nowhere.
    Eve was about 5’6” tall
and blonde. She was a stunner. She had a dream figure. Mmm... I wondered about Eve’s
age. Definitely older than me. Who cares!
    “Hi. My name’s Eve Grey.
I’m your new neighbor. Thought I would introduce myself. May I come in?” Her
voice was very melodious.
    “Come on in!” Mom and I
retorted in unison. Mom introduced us. Eve smiled at me.
    What a coincidence! Me
Adam and she Eve!
    My name’s Adam Smith. I
am a 19 year old college student. I am 6’2” tall and my friends envy me for my
good looks and lean muscular body. I am a fitness fanatic. My mom Judith’s a
writer and a pretty good one at that. She earns royalties from her books. My
dad, who’s no more, had left us this apartment and a portfolio of stocks and tax
free bonds. We lived comfortably.
    Mom continued, “My
dear, dear Eve, I’ve baked some cookies. Would you like a bite?”
    “No thanks, Judith. I’m
on a diet. No offense, ok?” It sounded so impolite.
    Eve sat beside Mom on
the sofa. I plonked myself on a chair opposite them. Eve had worn a short black
dress. She crossed her legs, very slowly, while sitting on the sofa. My eyes
nearly popped out. She was not wearing underwear. What the hell! I remembered
Sharon Stone had done exactly the same thing in the film ‘Basic Instinct’. I squirmed
visibly. Eve noticed my discomfiture and she gave me a knowing smile.
    I averted my gaze and
asked Mom, “Mom, please bring those cookies and coffee. I’m ravenously hungry.”
Mom asked Eve whether she would like to have coffee. Eve asked for water.
    Mom excused herself and
went to the kitchen. Eve took my mom’s temporary absence as an opportunity to
come closer to me. She gave me a conspiratorial wink and caught my right hand
in hers and gave it a gentle squeeze. There was something in her touch. I felt
an exhilarating shiver run through me.
    Eve noticed this and laughed,
“Now, now, honey, calm down. Okay?”
    Eve then slid back to
where she had been sitting earlier. She waved her hand at me like a magician. I
was back to normal. I was too numb to notice the power she had over me. Mom
returned with the refreshments and resumed her conversation. I ate two cookies
and drank the coffee. My mind was somewhere else. I hardly heard what they were
discussing.
    After a while, Eve bade
us farewell and returned to her apartment.
    I helped Mom wash the
dishes.
    I was restless the full
day.

THE MAGIC TOUCH!
     
    I still remembered Eve’s
visit to our house. I was excited as well as sad. It was quite a while since I
started suffering from ED (Erectile dysfunction). I don’t know what triggered
it. Even though I became sexually excited, my organ was not responding to my
desires. I tried masturbating. My girlfriend tried to arouse me, but to no
avail. I went to the doctor. I tried the blue pills, everything. The works! Not
a chance! I was limper than a wet rag. I was going crazy. My girlfriend and I
broke up. What could I do? The mind was willing but my penis was weak. I had
become an unwilling celibate!
    Eve had awakened my
dormant desires, but how could I face Eve with this problem?
    O, God! Let me be
normal once again!
    My prayers were
answered. Our doorbell rang. Who could it be? I opened the door.
    It was Eve. She was
wearing a T-shirt and jeans. I was speechless! She looked ravishing.  I could
sense the goodies within the T-shirt. Eve nudged me and I came back to my
senses. I let her in.
    “Ma’am, could I borrow Adam
for some time? I want his help in arranging the furniture.”
    Mom had noticed Eve’s
attire and I could sense all sorts of ideas were going
