Midnight.
While Tyler suddenly woke up from his forced nap,
"Ugh..." Olivia, his thirty-two-year-old neighbour, grumbled.
She had been twisting and turning for the past hour, but found herself completely unable to catch a wink.
"I have an appointment in the morning too..." She sighed while rubbing her forehead.
A moment later, Olivia threw the heavy blanket away.
She lay on her bed staring at the ceiling for a bit.
Her pyjamas felt tighter than usual. Lying on her bed, feeling the tight embrace of the fabric on her skin, Olivia debated taking it off, before realizing that her sleeplessness was caused by something else.
She pursed her lips together, a slightly embarrassed expression on her face, before getting up and walking to the living room barefoot.
The first thing Olivia did was look through the window. The streets were empty. There was no one around, as one might expect at such an hour.
She felt rather ashamed of being up at such a time, especially because of what was keeping her up...
Olivia stared at the building opposite hers.
'No one light is on... Everyone is asleep.' She sighed. 'Even the young guy next door must be asleep...'
Olivia roughly pulled on the curtains and jumped on her sofa.
Normally, she would be facing the window because of the TV's placement, but the TV wasn't the goal that night.
She lay on her stomach, feet hanging just barely off the sofa, and turned her laptop on.
Just doing that was enough to make her gulp. Enough to make the tension and frustration that hung in her body to start fading.
'Alright...'
Just as she typed the first letter, Olivia turned towards the curtains again to make sure.
She sighed at how paranoid she was about this, then typed the rest of the letters.
It took a moment to find appropriate videos, and the System brought Tyler to her window just as Olivia had finalized her selection.
There was something comforting about those videos.
Olivia always opened four tabs with the same four videos.
No matter how much she searched for new ones, they never hit the same.
Would you like to add the current open tabs to your favorites?
"Hell, no." Olivia muttered with a frown, almost offended by her laptop's question.
After all, she told herself every time that it would be the last time...
Gulp-
Tyler was transfixed by the view in front of him.
Because of Olivia's position, he couldn't see her laptop. Not that he cared one bit, as Tyler currently had the greatest view in the world.
Her thick thighs were envelopped nicely by the green pyjamas that adorned her body. Never had thighs seemed so squishy and soft, apart from that time when Sofia, his step-mother, had shown up with leggings.
Olivia's glutes were perfectly accentuated by the tightness of her nightwear. Both butt and thighs were being pulled down by gravity in such a way that made it seem like they were jelly or butter that was currently being melted down, slowly melting.
It was almost like gravity, just like the System, was trying to get Tyler to enjoy the best view possible.
His gaze lowered slightly, and temporarily remained on the soles of her feet.
'What the hell...?' Tyler thought to himself, confused by the sudden rush of heat he felt rising from his chest and stomach.
Unlike many, Tyler was never into feet. However, when it came to the hot women that surrounded him, a bit of skin, no matter where, turned out arousing.
Olivia's feet rose, momentarily hiding her butt as she bent her knees.
"Maybe I should look for a new one..." Olivia whispered to herself as she scrolled, kicking her feet slowly and rhythmically.
Tyler's mind was so engrossed by her that he didn't even think about leaving.
It was almost like he had been more scared of being caught and falsely accused of doing something creepy, than of being rightfully caught and accused.
The thought didn't even cross his mind though, as Olivia kicking her feet turned out to be rather arousing. Rhythmically, one of her buttcheeks was hidden by one foot, then the other buttcheek by the other foot.
Watching those movements, looking to the right side, then to the left side... It was almost like Tyler was being hypnotised!
While he was stuck in a trance, peeking through the tight space between Olivia's curtains, the horny and lonely neighbour decided to accept that scrolling further was useless, and that she might as well jump right into it.
'I should leave... The System wanted me to come here, but I have no reason to stay here... I should-'
A sudden and loud moan echoed, causing both Tyler and Olivia to freeze at once.
"Ah!" She exclaimed, tapping the space key again and pausing the video.
Olivia rubbed her forehead. The video has started right where she had paused it last time. It was a feature that Olivia absolutely hated.
Feeling sudden embarrassment and shame, she turned towards her window once again.
Tyler's body, which had frozen, turned to stone as the woman he had been looking at was now looking straight at him.
He maintained her gaze with a blank mind, completely unable to think.
Crouch to hide? Run away? Make up some kind of excuse? Apologize?
None of these were good options.
As the two stared at one another, Tyler started to curse the System.
If it wanted him to creep around, why not take him to a different neighborhood? To a different street at least? Not the woman next door!!
Neither running away nor hiding were good options. She had seen him now, and he lived in the building next to hers, his window faced hers! How could Tyler ever get over the shame and...
Olivia turned back to face her laptop screen.
"I'm a grown woman in my own apartment." She sighed. "What the hell am I scared of?"
Despite realizing that she couldn't see him through the curtains and the darkness he was currently basking in, Tyler didn't feel one bit more comfortable.
His heart rate had increased exponentially since she had looked his way and, despite the fact that she had turned back and away from him, it refused to settle, continuing to beat, seemingly louder and louder.
'...'
Despite his heart rate, Tyler's legs and feet refused to obey him.
It was such a close call, yet his body refused to move away.
It only took moments for his mind to surrender to his body. 'Since I know she can't see me now... It's actually safer than it was before... So...' Tyler shook his head, trying to chase away that line of thinking.

"It's not like anyone would care..." Olivia whispered.
Tyler's brows furrowed. He could hear her. Just barely, but he could.
'If only my freaking heart would calm down, I would be able to hear her better!'
Olivia let out a sigh.
"Not like anyone would creep around a thirty-year-old woman, or..."
Tyler couldn't help but gulp at those words.
"Care about what a grown woman does." She sighed, gaze going back to the screen. "Even the women in these videos are much younger..."
The fact that so many video titles included -Teen-, 18, or -Barely Legal- seemed to prove her point.
The fact that her ex-husband, a high school teacher, had cheated on her with a 17-year-old student didn't help either.
