The Other Side Of The Fence

“Stop flinching, I will burn you with this curling wand Teddi Bear! Don’t test me!” I giggled as Landon flitted around behind me. Matt had asked me if I wanted to move our date up, and I couldn’t help but agree. I don’t think anyone could really blame me though; Landon wanted to go on a date with him, without ever seeing him.

“I’m sorry! I’m just so nervous!” He sighed, rolling his eyes a little, as he dropped another curl off of the curling wand, I watched it drop, bouncing slightly as it fell the entire length of my hair.

“Dear, sweet little innocent Teddi, you have nothing to be nervous about. Quite obviously this man likes you; he wanted to move up the date to a Tuesday night instead of Friday. He’s obviously excited to see you, and I’m trying to make sure he wants to see you every night this week. But you’re messing with my magic here lovely!” I smiled, nodding at his words. Landon was right; Matt was obviously just as excited for this date as I was, so I had to just focus on that, not on the nerves raging in my stomach.



I sat in my office watching the monitors, there was a strange man in Teddi’s apartment, but he just seemed to be helping her get ready. She was smiling, laughing, and enjoying her time spent with him. Jealousy reared its ugly head, making me ball my fists. She was going out with me tonight, who was this man, and why was he spending time with her before we went out. I could only hope it was a friend, but she had only been away from her basement for a day, how many friends could she have made already?
She laughed, looking straight at the camera, her smile shining through the monitor to me, making a smile appear on my own face. She was beautiful, beyond beautiful, and this man was just dolling her up even more. He wasn’t masking her natural beauty with a lot of makeup, just defining those large eyes, making them even more noticeable, and adding a little bit of color to those pale cheeks, making her look flushed. I watched as she took her phone out, and quickly tapped away at the screen, I couldn’t help but laugh at her. She was using both pointer fingers instead of thumbs, like it was a type writer. The man behind her laughed, wrapped his arms around her, and showed her how to do it properly, making me want to knock him out even more. He needed to remove his hands, and quickly. She was watching his thumbs tap away at the screen, before he handed it back to her, picking up the curler he was using for her hair, and going back to the long locks. She had put some color in it, but it only made the chestnut brown that much better, soft red through it, bringing out the deep color of the brown, I just wish I could run my hands through it. I was zooming in on her face, when a vibration on the desk next to my monitor brought me out of it. I grinned quickly unlocking the screen, I should have known whatever message she was sending would be directed towards me.

Matt, how am I supposed to dress for tonight?!

I couldn’t help but laugh just a bit; this man had to be helping style her, so she had to know what to put on after her hair and makeup were finished. Something inside of me wanted to reply with ‘what you’re wearing right now is amazing’ but I knew that wouldn’t work out well in my favor. But it was the truth, the tight fitting jeans, and black tank top worked well in my opinion. It showed off just enough to make me want to rip it all off. But I knew I had to take it slow, I was going to be her first everything, so I had to just wait for the prize.

Just something casual beautiful, you’d look beautiful in anything.

I sent the reply, before quickly turning back to the monitor to watch her reaction. Last night she did a happy dance, thinking no one was watching her, and it was the most adorable thing I had ever seen. I don’t think she’d do it again in front of this strange man, but I wanted to see her reaction anyways. I wasn’t disappointed when she opened the phone, and a large smile spread across her face, bringing out small dimples on either side of her mouth. They were nothing like mine, not as deep and wide, but they were small, barely noticeable, I thought they were perfect. She showed the man, and he smiled, clapping a bit, doing his own happy dance, obviously he wasn’t any competition, he was too happy to see her talking to another man. She tapped away quickly at the screen before turning to the man, large grins spread across both of their faces as they ran out of the bathroom. I switched views to the bedroom, the man ran into her closet, and started going through all the clothes she had picked up yesterday, including the lingerie she had bought. I had enjoyed watching her put all of that away, knowing it was all meant for me, and only me. I’d be the only man to see her in that state of undress, and more than that. The vibration sounded from my phone again, making me grin as I quickly picked it up to see her message.

Okay! I’ll try to decide on something! See you in a bit!(:

I looked at the time; I had another 45 minutes before I was supposed to pick her up. It would only take me fifteen to get to the apartment, but I still wanted to leave a little early, and maybe meet this mystery man that was there with her. I watched as he picked out clothes for her, and headed to the top drawer of her dresser, making me growl deep in my stomach. He was touching her underwear, only she and I had a right to do that. He’d have to pay for that eventually, but for now, I was a little more interested in seeing what he picked out for her to wear. He picked up a black lacy bra, and matching shorts, wiggling his eyebrows at her before throwing them to her, along with the dress and leggings he had picked out. She ran into the bathroom to change, and I decided to give her privacy as she did that, if I saw that now, it’d be all I thought about tonight, and I’d probably make an ass out of myself on our date. I didn’t want to do that, I didn’t want her to think anything less of me, and I really didn’t want to make her feel uncomfortable tonight. The strange man was back in her closet, throwing shoes out all around him, obviously searching for the right pair for her, she walked back into the room within moments, swirling around to show off the finished product. My breathe caught in my throat, she was beyond beautiful in the outfit, he had picked out something that complimented her body perfectly. I looked at the clock, I still had a half an hour before I was supposed to pick her up, but I couldn’t wait anymore, I wanted to see her. I quickly shut off the monitor, grabbed my phone and keys, made sure I had my wallet, and headed out of the house.
