Rapunzel's POV
The noise coming from the house next door was finally reducing. They must be done with unpacking most of their things . That was good news to me,since I was almost done with the cookies. I put all thirty-six of them into a plastic container before going upstairs to change tossing my apron along the way. I was actually pretty nervous, it was my first time welcoming someone to the neighborhood. I didn't know who they were because my former neighbors didn't say who they sold their house to. Whoever they were I wanted to make a good impression.
After putting on skinny jeans and a black T-shirt, I tied my hair into a pony tail, grabbed the cookies from the kitchen and made my way over to my neighbor's.
Standing at the front porch of my neighbor's house, I could hear a lot of movement from inside. My neighbor (whoever they were )was still busy setting up. I didn't want to interrupt but if I postponed this now , I would probably end up eating the cookies myself. So I gathered my courage and knocked three times in the door.
The noise suddenly stopped and a muffled voice called out " coming!"
The door opened to reveal a pale guy with platinum blonde hair and blue eyes. He wore a blue flannel shirt over a gray T-shirt and blue ripped jeans. The black pin earrings along with his black nail polish contrasted deeply with his snow white skin.
"...hey" he said looking at her in fascination.
" hi I'm Rapunzel von der sonne
, I live next door" I said trying not to look into his eyes for too long." I'm jack frost , nice to meet you"
"Same " I said and I wasn't even kidding" which is why I came over to give you these 'welcome to the neighborhood 'cookies !"
He then smiled and for a brief moment, I couldn't remember how I had gotten there.
"They smell great ,thanks" jack took the container from me ,he was about to go back inside when he turned to me laughing nervously " aren't you going to come in ?"
I blushed,internally chiding myself for getting carried away. He smiled warmly in contrast with the 'cool' vibe he had going on. "Oh right "
I didn't come visiting very often when my old neighbors were still here , but I was familiar with the layout of the house. The wallpaper hadn't been changed, the nasty yellow with rose patterns. I was willing to offer some home decor advice to jack, but I realized he already had it covered,with all the paint buckets I had seen on my way in. There were still a lot of cardboard boxes strewn around the place.
"Redecorating ?" I asked stupidly, like anyone would want to keep such a monstrous wallpaper, but I was at a loss for what to talk about. Thankfully he Ignored this and just nodded.
"Yeah...wouldn't want anybody thinking this place belongs to an old couple now would I ?"
I giggled and I swear he grew red. Was he blushing ?
"Um ...I'll just go put these in a bowl" he said awkwardly raising the container " you'll probably want your container back , please have a seat" before I could tell him he could keep it he had already rushed into the kitchen. I sighed sitting on one of the dinning table chairs , looking around for anything interesting. There was a box on the couch with a flat screen TV in it,waiting to be set up once the paint job was done. Beside the couch was a box , in it were Jack's PlayStation , movie/video game connection-
"Oh my gosh!,you play Detroit: become human ?!" I asked excitedly. Another stupid question.
"Yeah " jack said coming back into the living room. He placed a glass of orange juice in my hand and placed the now open cookie container on a upturned box between us." Do you play ?"
"Oh no" I laugh nervously, he looked at me in confusion although he was still smiling. " I used to watch other gamers play it on YouTube, but I haven't exactly played it myself."
"Would you like to come over some time and play it " jack offered. Blushing I said "yes "as smoothly as possible, but internally I was having trouble trying to piece together whether or not he had asked me out.
"The cookies are great by the way,I like chocolate chip"he said offering it to me "I can't possibly finish all this on my own."
"OK so where did you live before coming here ?"I asked .

we sat there talking for over thirty minutes, before we decided to start with the painting. By the time it was 9:15 pm, we were done with painting. The walls were now painted white with rainbow hand print patterns.
He walked me to my front door , claiming he wanted to make sure I got there safely. "Today was really nice " he said with a satisfied smile.
"Yeah ,it was " I said smiling back
"Can I have your number ?"he asked before quickly adding noticing my stunned expression." We need to book our gaming session"
"Yh obviously" we both laugh and exchange numbers.
"Good night"
"Good night "
