A peeping tom

Blake ushered the trembling old woman into the apartment and sat her down on the sofa. He rubbed her back affectionately and waited for her to calm down before asking, "Are you okay, ma'am?"

Blake handed her a tissue and she gratefully took it to dry her eyes. The woman finally looked at the handsome man beside her and even she was astounded by his good looks and spectacular body.

'Is he Emily's boyfriend?' she internally questioned before deciding not to jump to conclusions since they very well could be siblings or cousins.

"Are you Emily's boyfriend?" she questioned Blake.

Blake was a bit taken aback by her question but didn't hesitate to respond. "No, I'm her roommate."

The elderly woman breathed a sigh of relief. She thought her grandson was handsome, but he could never have held a candle to the shirtless man beside her.
