You pulled the last box out of the back of your car and hauled it inside with frustrated sigh. You had just moved out of your apartment that you had shared with your ex, and back into your parents' home. To say you were frustrated and disappointed with the turn your life took was and understatement.

When you moved in with your significant other, you hoped it would help your relationship because you had trouble communicating. Sadly, things turned from not great to insufferable quickly and you moved out as soon as the lease was up. Adding insult to injury, the only place you could go was back to your parents house for the first place in years.

"I still think its too bad you couldn't have just bought the house next door," your mom said as you sat the box on the table. "But I'll have to introduce you to the young man who did purchase it, he's very nice."

"Mom, moving back in at my age is bad enough, buying the house next door would not have been much better."

"Don't worry sweetie, we'll get your life back on track soon enough," your mom said rubbing your arms.

"I didn't realize I was that far off track," you muttered before retreating to your room.

A few weeks later you had settled into a routine that quickly felt like a combination of who you were since moving out and being an adult, and who you were years before when you were a teenager. For the most part living with your parents again wasn't too bad since you never had to cook, and your laundry was done before you even realized that it needed washing. The downside was you couldn't stay out late without it being an issue, but you weren't going out much, having sworn off dating for a while.

On a particularly sunny and warm Saturday, you were sitting out in your bathing suit when you heard your mom talking to someone.

"(YN), come here a moment," she called. You rolled your eyes and slid on your sandals before joining her at the fence. "Ray, this is (YN), (YN), this is our new neighbor Ray."

"Nice to meet you (YN)," he said as he extended his hand over the fence in greeting. He was so cute and your parents hadn't told you! You pushed your sunglasses back to the top of your head and smiled as you shook his hand.

'No, no, you're not dating for three months, besides you don't even know his deal,' you scolded yourself. "Nice to meet you too," you replied.

"(YN) just moved back in after a breakup," your mom explained rather unnecessarily.

"Thanks mom," you said rolling your eyes. She smiled and walked away. "Well that was awkward," you said with a laugh.

"That's moms for ya," he laughed. "So, what do you do?"

You chatted about your job for a little bit before asking about his work.

"Oh, I'm a musician, I play guitar."

You tried not to gasp audibly as your eyes went wide. Either your parents didn't know, or they were holding out that knowledge from you. They knew your type included musicians.

"Oh wow," you murmured. 'What part of three months of you not understand?!' your brain screamed.

"Yea, it's what I've always loved to do. Actually I gotta get going, I have a rehearsal soon, but I'll see you around."

"Yea, nice to meet you."

Ray turned to leave, but then turned back. "Hey, (YN), sorry if this is really forward, but would you like to go out sometime?"
