"No, I really don't think it's appropriate to say to a lady like you, since it's quite crude and vulgar, which I'm pretty sure you won't find pleasing to hear." I waved my hand and refused to speak a word, which only sparked her interest even more.
"No, please do say whatever it is you were trying to tell, since I'm dying of curiosity to know why you're hesitating so much." Camila said with an avid expression on her face and took a step out of her house to get closer to me.
"I promise I won't judge you or berate you no matter what you say, so I hope you can do your neighbour a favour and tell me what was on your mind at that moment when you first saw me."
"Even if it's not for a favour, you can at least do it for the pasta you ate." She emotionally blackmailed me with a grin on her face so that I didn't back out and decline.
"Fine...But don't blame me if you're offended by what I say."
I sighed and agreed to her request, which made her smile and get even more closer to me to the point where I could smell her jasmine fragrance so that she could hear every word I said, which she probably thought was more praise for her that she seemed to enjoy so much.
"It's just that when I first saw you, I didn't immediately think that you were the daughter of this household and thought that there's a chance of you being the person that spoke to my mother as well."
"O-Oh, I see..." She said in a reluctant manner as her eyes turned gloomy, regretting asking for my thoughts and thinking that I warned her not to ask because the truth would hurt her feelings.
"Oh, don't get me wrong. I didn't think you looked old or anything." I immediately waved my hands so that she didn't misunderstand my intentions, as she seemed to have gotten accustomed to me calling her young and looked to be sad that I broke her little fantasy that she was living where she was much younger than she actually was.
"I just thought that even though you look like a young girl, you don't really have the figure of one and look more 'grown up' in that aspect."
"A figure of a grown-up?...W-What does that even mean?" The frown on her face quickly vanished when she heard my suprising statment, and she looked down at her body to see if anything was off about it.
"Well, as embarrassing as it is to say..." I looked away, like I wasn't the most comfortable talking about this topic to a girl, while she stared at me as her ears turned red, somewhat already knowing what I was going to say. "...you don't really have the body of an average girl who's in her early twenties...And more, how should I say...curvaceous in nature?"
"I really apologise for making you continue yourself when you didn't want to do so, so please don't say anything anymore, as I already feel ashamed at making a young man like you say such things about this old body of mine."
She bowed her head with a look of guilt written all over her face for making such a mistake.
She then looked at me straight in the eyes while her blue eyes trembled from having her body complimented so blatantly and said in a timid manner, losing all the cool she had before,
"I'm going to take my hands off your mouth now, but do you promise that you won't talk to this auntie in such a way again, or else I'm afraid your mother will be banging on my door wanting an explanation for what I made her son do."
She hung her head as if she were to blame for making a kid like me say such things and looked to be pleading for me to be silent.
I was also expecting her to react this way and not get offended by the obscene things I said about her body, as in her eyes, I was just a little kid who followed what she said and said some questionable things without knowing if it was right or wrong.
But if I were to do the same thing in the body of a middle-aged man, there would absolutely be no excuses for my rude behaviour, and I would be lucky to be left off with a slap on the cheeks.
This was also one of the advantages of having a young body, as adults wouldn't really take you too seriously and would have their guard down, and they would easily brush off any mistake you make or problems you cause by just saying that you're young and dumb and are prone to slip up once in a while, which worked very well for me as I could do things that others could never do.
I also had a lot of pretty privilege, as normally people wouldn't get too offended when a handsome man or beautiful girl said something inappropriate about them, compared to how they would react if someone average looking did the same thing.
Seeing her look at me in a desperate manner, I nodded my head to show that I understood, which made her let out a sigh of relief and pull her hand away from my mouth, which actually felt nice because of how soft and warm her palms were.
"See...This is why I told you that it would be inappropriate to say such things to you and why I wanted to keep it myself." I said with a straight face, to which she didn't say anything since she knew that she was in the wrong, when I was the actual guilty one for saying such vulgar words to her.
"But since I've already told you what I thought when I first saw you, I think you should understand by now why I thought you were much older than you actually are...Or, is it that you still need me to explain?" I said with a smile on my face, which made her stare at me with an angry look on her face for teasing her, that actually looked quite adorable and made me want to pull her puffed-out cheeks.
