Feminine Persuasion

Chapter 1

One must look back at events in their life and laugh at times. One must even remember those that have come into there life and smile about them. But when someone has had such an impact on your life that you can no longer go back to how things were before them, you are forced to remember them everyday just by looking at yourself in the mirror, and seeing their physical effect on you.

I remember a person that at one time was just my hot next door neighbor at my apartment building, Ann. I can recall the first time I saw her. I had just moved into my studio apartment and I was carrying some groceries from my car and she walk by. It was like a scene in a movie. Time slowed down, my heart beat jumped up, and she just walked by me and smiled. Her hair seemed to glide through the air like a woman in a shampoo commercial, she seemed to glow like she was royalty and her smell was something that stuck with me for days. And I couldn't help but notice that we were about the same height. I remember thinking of her later at home and wondering about her. What was she like? Did she have a boyfriend or a husband? Any kids? How old was she? I was shocked to find out later that she only lived right across the hall from me. The only thing stopping me from hitting on her was that I had just gotten out of a relationship that seemed to crash my whole world.

I was engaged with a girl that I thought was the love of my life, until I found out she didn't feel the same way about me, and was having an affair. I moved out, changed jobs, and tried to pick up the pieces of my life anew. I began working in a warehouse at a retail store working nights. It paid ok, enough to live in a shoebox apartment, and put food in my tummy and gas in my car. I had started looking very mountain mannish. From my depression, my hair grew to a little past my shoulders and looked a mess, my face was covered by a thick facial hair, and I had even put on weight. I had a bear belly from trying to drink my sorrows away, love handles, man boobs, fat ass and thighs, and I was also hairy all over, plus I was only five foot seven. I could understand why such a beautiful girl like my neighbor wouldn't want anything to do with me, let alone any women.
