sarea | a story about my neighbor's son; trick the gender genie!

I'm pretty sure it's not on to lust after my neighbor's 19-year-old son (or wait ... Jade, is he 20 now? Or maybe, hopefully, 21? When was that BBQ?), but it can't be helped. But this isn't about that. This is about him apparently having a brother I never knew about ...

So the other night, returning late from El Greco, he had followed behind me into the parking lot, and after I got out of my car, I could see two tall male figures and a girl (he always has friends over, so I didn't think too much of this). But it was dark so I couldn't make anyone out clearly. Sean has always been pretty friendly to me, and I've said hello to a friend of his here and there. But I don't know him or any of them well enough to really tell who's who, especially in the dark and if they're wearing hats or whatever.

Anyway, so the three of them had gotten out of their car and were heading up to Sean's place, and I was following a bit behind, but one of the guys had dropped his basketball (or it fell out of the car, I don't know, whatever), so he stopped to get it, and then he was all, friendly like, "Hey, where did you get that Corvette?"

"Oh..." was my witty response. I mean, what do I say? "A car dealership" is accurate, but kinda bitchy. Go into the whole car-swapping-with-my-dad thing? I don't think so, for the 10-second walk up to our doors. <g>

"I didn't know that was yours," he continued.

"Yeah ..." I said. Okay, I was tired, all right? And the subject did not make me feel comfortable, and there was no way to continue it in an interesting way.

"Is this yours?" he asked, holding up the basketball.

I had no idea where it came from, so I was surprised and confused. I said, "It's not yours?"

Then he grinned and was all, "No, it is. I think it belongs to my brother." And then we were in front of his door and he called in, asking his "brother" if it was his basketball, and wishing me a good night.

Here's the thing. I have no clue who I was talking to. If Sean has a brother, maybe I was talking to his brother and not Sean? I mean, he was wearing a baseball hat (backwards, of course), it was dark, and if they really are brothers they probably look somewhat alike. But I didn't know Sean had a brother. And the guy -- whoever he was -- was acting way peppier than Sean normally does (he's friendly but a bit reserved). And then I was like, well maybe it wasn't his brother, but a friend joking around that he was. I mean, the other guy and the girl had already entered their condo, so one of them obviously had a key, and I'm pretty sure no one but Sean lives with his dad there. Then again, this guy acted like he totally knew me, which is possible 1) if he were Sean; 2) if he were one of Sean's friends who's around all the time and has seen me about.

The whole thing is just very odd.

I went home today to take Talis out, and Sean -- I'm pretty sure it was Sean -- was about to get in his car. (Okay, I have always found him passably attractive, because he's tall, young, and looks/acts like a total punk, but he had cut off most of his hair (a la Orlando Bloom in "Black Hawk Down"), and he was wearing this black tank that was really very flattering. It's not even that I'm super attracted to him, but when we interact he makes me feel all "heehee," if you know what I mean. God save me from 20-year-old hotties.) He smiled and said hello, asking how I was, and I responded in kind, and he seemed the same kind of friendly like he -- or whoever -- had been on Friday night. So maybe it was him??? Am so confused.

Not that any of this matters or would be of any interest to anyone but Jade, who knows who I'm talking about. She's even had the dubious honor of hearing him have sex with his girlfriend when she walked by one day with Talis! Hahahahahahhahaa.
