Next door lover

Where it all began

This street isn't the most visited as you know, it's a rather calm street where not much people venture in and especially not live in, but we have our little community. At 6 everyone comes out and we all hang out outside talking for hours. It's the best part of the day for me, it makes those moments unforgettable and since it was Christmas time we were all frozen but the shinning Christmas lights were keeping us warm.
Love was in the air that night, when I saw him. He's a Uber eats delivery boy, he wore a motorcycle helmet most of the time which made hard to see him, I could only see half of his face, the only thing I saw of him was his black curly hair peeking out of the helmet. He looked at me, I looked at him and he went to his apartment which was right in front of my mothers shop. I didn't really think of it until I kept seeing him over and never seeing his face, everyday I became more exited to come to my mothers shop because I would see him.
Christmas break came around and I was decorating my mums showcase when I saw him come out of his appartement, I was laying my head on the fake chimney literally staring at him when he stared back I was zoned out . I went back to decorating, this time I was head in the chimney ass up very classy I know, when he passed by a second time, I didn't pay attention to him but I felt the stare.
It was night now, my mothers friends where hanging out when I saw him pass a third time, this time he said hello and I smiled and said hello back. After this whenever he would go outside of his apparement he would search for me, and I would search for him too.
Christmas break ended and I never really saw him after those moments, about two weeks passed by when one night we were all hanging out when I started speaking about him to Françoise, she said she's in charge of the apparement so she can tell me his name and age, We agreed. She talked to him a lot actually, she was always chatting with him so I asked what his name was she said "quite frankly I don't know, I think I've been calling him the wrong name because every time I call him he makes a face"
Like every afternoon, I was coming home from school, when my mom wasn't at her shop so I waited in my mums friend shop, He came out.
I said "I kind of fancy him", this day I actually saw his face, after that I only saw him, everywhere I went I saw him. When I was with my grandma he passed right next to us so I showed him to her, even when I was going home 15 miles away from where we live we were next to each at a red light, he would park his car in front of where I live sometimes, but what was funny and very cute is that every time he was opening his door he looked back to look at me.
Françoise got back to me and told me his age but since she didn't know his name she just crossed the road and looked on his mailbox which cracked me up, but at least I got his name which helped me majorly in my social media research, I found him on all socials, but never made a move.
A week later my cousins shows up at my mums shop and we spoke about boys, and told her how crazy this street is and how much cute boys I saw. I showed her his socials and at that moment he came out of his apartment, Françoise told us he was here, we ran to see him not very discreet of us but when we came out I smiled and said hi. it's funny because body language says a lot about people and he was oriented in my direction he kept looking back at me even if I wasn't speaking to him.
Eventually my mum ended the fun and sent me to go pickup olive oil, she later said it was because we were awkwardly standing here and she thought I didn't want to speak to him but anyways it ended my only chance of speaking to him.
When we came back he was gone, it left me disappointed and ever since that moment nobody saw him until three weeks later, I went running, when I was walking back to my apartment I saw him bringing in a piano with his two friends a girl and a boy, he saw me I saw him but a friend saw me first so he said "you run?" I replied "yes I do" he asked "how many Km" I said "1 but I just started" he asked me if I wanted to run with him I said no and went back to my run, when I came back I met up with Françoise we all talked and when it was time to close I eventually saw him he was at the door saying goodbye to his friends when he saw me he stopped saying goodbye and immediately stared and his body was turned in my direction, I kept talking with my friends and he eventually threw an awkward peace sign at me and I waved back, he struggled to go back inside and I was fighting going back home too ,I was left wanting more.
A day later I was walking home when I saw him in his car he saw me and stared, I went back to my mums shop where he was, he was playing with a dog and waiting to get in his apartment I didn't look at him went in the shop and when I came back he mouthed hello I smiled and waved he went in his apartment and came out a few minutes after I was sitting facing his front door when he came out and sat in front of his house glancing at me from time to time , he was waiting for a friend when the car finally came he got up and got in the car I was starring to see if he would look at me, when going away he glanced at me which definitely confirmed that he fancied me. My mother and Françoise told me last time he came out with a bike, but the bike had a flat tire they all laughed and told me that only bad things happens to him.
When coming back to school I was walking down the street when I saw him on a bicycle yes that same bicycle and idk how he saw me but he did and he looked at me for a while. I strived for these little glances I don't know how long it's gonna last or how it's gonna end knowing that in the course of two months we've only spoke twice and it was to say hello.
What was really weird and awful, was that we saw each other everywhere, sometimes even three times a day without saying hello or talking it was torture we obviously liked each other but It couldn't possibly work between us and I knew nothing could possibly happen between us.
I came back home from a date, my mum and her friends were waiting on me. I was at the other end of the street and he was on the opposite side, I didn't look I was distracted from my date that i didn't even care. We spoke when he walked by us and said hi to everyone and me, his friends continued walking and at the same time they turned around like if he said something about me. Anyways he comes back in his car, he gets out and says laughing « y'all are gonna get a ticket if you don't go home » we laughed Françoise said «  don't worry we'll run » he says « you don't even have the right shoes » he says goodnight and goes away my mum mumbles  « we can go in your apartment » I said oh god. He went to open his door and looked back at me, I was looking at him too and then we all went home.
So a few days later, I came down to recharge myself from a heartbreak, I wanted to go get crystals for my self care day, which I did so I come back from the Crystal shop when at the same moment he gets out of his car like, so I notice him but he doesn't notice me, I walk home, sit and show what I bought to Françoise. So he comes home, looks at me I say hi he says hi, and asks how I am I said good smiling and continue my unboxing, I noticed that he took really long to get in his apartment which leads me to think that he was watching my unboxing.
Anyways, I was strolling down my street with my best friend watching the shops, it was so fun watching people just being happy. We finally settled down at my mothers shop with Françoise, his friend passed by car and he opened the door but I barely saw him.Moments later I was trying to send a message to my svt prof when he came out of his house, he said hello to Françoise I looked up and smiled he looked at me but it just felt weird I feel like I was doing too much so idk. Later my friend went home and we hung out on the side of the road when another friend came buy, I didn't look this time but I got up to see who it was, I couldn't see because they already went inside. They came out 10 minutes later and he was only wearing swim shorts and neon orange shoes? Like what, keep in mind that it's freezing outside. We were all stoked to see him half dressed, we didn't know where to put ourselves so we just laughed and stopped looking at him. He didn't look at me. Françoise asked me you see he says hello now it's good. And I said it's been 3months thank god. But I was still confused as why and how it goes so slow like time goes buy so quick but with him it slows down. I haven't spoken more than 1 word each time so it's very discouraging to say the least. I'm kind of giving up what is this even leading to? Obvs nothing like I'm 16 and he's 27 but at the end of the day I just want my kfc for fuck sake.
