My Neighbour

Riley

"You want my honest opinion?" Michelle asked as we sat in the coffee shop in town
"No I want you to lie to me, what kind of question is that" I laughed before hearing the bell on the door go, both Michelle and I briefly glanced over to see James, the boys and of course Beth walk int
"I think if you can't 100% see yourself with this Kyle guy, then don't be Riles" She said and I sighed gripping my cup of coffee in front of me
"As far as James is concerned. It looks like he already has his hands full so maybe it's best to steer clear of that too" She said slightly nodding to James and his gang over my the sofa's 
"I know" I said tapping my nails on the table in front of us
"Do you remember what we used to say" She said smiling, I looked at her with the same smile she was giving me 
"You don't need a guy to make you happy" We both said at the same time before laughing, Michelle took a hold of my hand during the laugh 
"You've got this Riles" she said giving it a little shake 
I smiled at her before glancing behind her to see James smirking my way

"I won't lie, I can see what's drawing you in" Michelle said making me realise she was looking in his direction too
"Don't you start! He's already called you attractive" I said nudging her
"What when?" She asked a little shocked
"When he came into my room a few weeks ago" I said making her eyes widen
"the boy has been in your room Riley? How did you get that passed your dad" she asked and I rolled my eyes
"He snuck in through the window" I said only making her eyes widen
"Will you quit it! Your eyes are about to pop out of those sockets" I laughed making her join in
I had missed all of this. Somehow all it took was one small trip with Michelle to make me realise where I'm going wrong

"do you know what's missing right now" I said sighing, Michelle gave me the same look we always shared 
"it wouldn't be me by chance would it?" I hear a familiar voice say, my eyes widen before turning to see Daniel stood there!
"What on earth" I squealed jumping into his arms as he spun us around
"You didn't think I would let Michelle see you and not me did you?" He laughed taking a seat next to me
"What! When did you get in" I asked still smiling widely
"this morning, I had work on Saturday so I couldn't come till today! But you have me until michelle and I leave tomorrow!" he said before we all started pouting
"What did I miss" Daniel asked looking between the two of us
"Riley got herself into boy drama" Michelle gossiped making me instantly roll my eyes
"Do you want a drink?" I asked Daniel who nodded 

As I got up to head to the counter, it was clear James had excused himself too. I don't know how he manages to get Beth to see past his obsession
"Cute reunion" He smirked leaning against the side of the till
"Shouldn't you be with your girlfriend" I asked and he smirked again leaning into my ear to whisper something
"I don't do that remember" He said before smirking leaving me to wait for Daniels drink

I got back to the table and both Michelle and Daniel looked like they had a lot to say, i was in for one long chat wasn't I
"What did he just say to you?" Michelle asked
"He is pretty good looking you know" Daniel said earning a scoff and laugh from both Michelle and I
"You two are fucking something aren't you" I laughed making them both proudly nod
I glanced over my shoulder to see James still looking this way while Beth continued to try get his full attention
That poor girl is getting strung along so much
