Love Next Door

Chapter 1

Once upon a time, there was a boy named Ben. He always hit on girls whenever he had the chance. He didn't want only one girl- he wanted many. Ben couldn't control those ferocious hormones of his. One day, he saw a girl in his neighborhood who lived next to him. Damn that ass , he thought. The girl saw him staring at her.

"Oh, uh sorry." Ben stuttered.

The girl just kept staring at him, and blushed. Ben was utterly confused at the girl.

"Um...I'm Stephanie. And why are you staring at me like that?" the girl named Stephanie asked.

"I'm Ben...oh sorry, I just saw you there and, and um, I think you're really cute and pretty."

Stephanie blushed, and felt her heart pounding, but she didn't say anything about that. "UGH EW pedophile!!!"

"No! I'm just speaking the truth."

Stephanie crossed her arms and turned her back to him. "Whatever. I don't want you saying that ever again. Plus, you don't even know me." And with that, she walked away.

Ben walked into his house, into his room, and sighed. Why did I feel that way? I never felt that way before...what is it? Is this my true love? Ben thought. No, it couldn't be. There are still all those other people I've hit on...

Ben got frustrated. He thought and thought for a while. Finally he realized, his love was true.

After that day, Ben never saw Stephanie again. He missed her to the point where he couldn't think of anything but her. He kept replaying the moment. Her voice, her face, her smile. She was the most perfect person in the world. He wanted her. I need to see her, I need to see her, I HAVE TO!!

After a few hours, Ben gathered up his courage and walked next door, to Stephanie's house. He wasn't sure if he should do it though. What would he say? What would he do? What if she started to think he was stalking her? Ben shook his head and let out all his doubts. He hesitated, than knocked on the door.

A few seconds passed.

Finally, someone opened the door.

It was a girl. Not an old one. Probably in college. Probably his love's sister. He tried to ignore his thought as he looked at her. Her body, her face- Ben controlled himself. She's too old for me. NO. Stephanie's my true love.

"Can I help you little boy?" the girl said.

"Um yeah. Can I talk to Stephanie?" Ben asked.

Stephanie's sister's eyes widened.

"OH MY GOD! ANNIE! I THINK THIS DUDE IS STEPHANIE'S BOYFRIEND!" she screamed. "Oh yeah, my name is Bonnie."

The girl named Annie came hurling to the door. So did Stephanie.

"What are you doing here?" Stephanie asked.

"Just ignore that question. So, how long have you guys been dating?" Bonnie said, with a huge smile.

"We aren't dating." Ben said. I wish we were though.

"Aw come on! You don't have to deny the truth." Annie said.

Stephanie just stared at Ben, again. She cleared her throat.

"Okay. This dude is Ben and he just saw me outside. End of story. I have no idea what the hell he's doing here." She explained.

Ben nodded. Woah, three hot girls.

"What are you doing here?" Stephanie asked once again.

Ben didn't want to say it in front of all these people, but he had no choice. "I- I um...I think I'm in love with you Stephanie."

"AWWWWWW STEPHANIEEE!!!" her sisters' both squealed.

Stephanie blushed so hard. She could feel her face heating up.

"Oh." Stephanie replied. Then, she pushed her sisters' away, and closed the door.
