This is what the neighbors saw, or at least what I think they might have seen had they been watching.

I'm standing on a chair in my backyard, wearing only my bikini. I should have known better. My neighbours are the typical kind, nosy and annoying. However, I stood there trying to fix the rip in the fabric of the umbrella.

I heard the phone ring and ran into the door, emerging a few minutes later with the phone at my ear. As I chatted away about work, school and friends, I paced around the backyard.

Only moments into my conversation, the back gate openned slowly and a handsome man entered the backyard, laughing into the cell phone pressed against his head.

I squeeled, dropping the phone into the grass. I ran over, jumping into his arms as he spun me around kissing me deeply.
