Y/N POV:
I just moved into my new house in Cincinnati, Ohio. I pulled up in front of the house and got out of my car. They already dropped off my moving truck. I opened the truck and started to unload the boxes. It was around dinner time when I arrived in Cincinnati. My new neighbor across the street pulled into their driveway. I didn't pay any attention to them trying to pick up a heavier box.
"Excuse me, do you need some help with that?" I heard a voice behind me. I turned around, and it was my new neighbor. "If you don't mind, I'm Y/n, by the way." I introduced myself. He picked up the box with ease. "Joe." He responded. I picked up another box and started to head up to the front door. I set my box on the kitchen island. "You can just set the box down here." He set the box down, and I definitely did not look at his biceps flex as he did.
He started to walk out the front door and towards the truck. "Oh, you don't have to help with the rest of it. I should be able to get everything else." I walked after him. "It's no problem at all, and I would be able to go inside and leave you out here. It's gonna get dark soon." "Thanks for the help then." I smiled and grabbed another box.
It was a couple of hours later, and we were bringing the last boxes in. We sat on the floor. I handed him a water bottle. "Thanks." He said. "I guess I owe you dinner for helping me unpack." I said. He laughed. "You don't have to do that." I rolled my eyes, "yes I do. Now, how does pizza sound?" He smiled as I pulled out my phone. "That's fine." I ordered the pizza, and I sat next to Joe. We just talked and got to know each other.
Soon, the doorbell rang, I got up to go answer it when Joe shot up and pulled me back. I stood there stuned, and he took off and answered the door. I soon realized that he was paying for the pizza. I ran up to the front doorbut I was too late he closed the door pizza in hand and had a cute dumb smirk on his face.
"Why did you do that?" I asked him. he looked at me. "Because you don't need to pay for it." He walked past me and sat back on the floor. I sat beside him, grabbed a slice of pizza, and pouted. He looked at me and laughed. "Why are you pouting?" He asked. "Because I was gonna buy you food for your help, but you beat me to it."
He had a smirk on his face. "You can pay me back another way." I looked at him confused. "What other way?" I asked him. He looked at me, "You can say yes." He said."Yes, to what?" I asked again. "Yes to a date." He smiled. I smiled and said yes to a date to him. I grabbed his face and made him look away from me as I kissed his cheek. I got up and ran away laughing.
"Where are you going?" He yelled as he chased after me. I was laughing as I ran. I soon found myself trapped. "Dang it." Joe was in the doorway of the room. He was coming closer. I started to back up as he got closer. My back hit the wall, and he took both of my hands and pinned them above my head. As he was holding them with one hand, his other hand went down to my waist, and he started to lean in. As I thought we were about to kiss, he started to tickle me.
"Ah, joe, stop." I yelled. He stopped. We were still close. I looked into his bright blue eyes. I tried to slip one of my hands out of his grip, but he tightened his grip. "Where are you going?" He leaned in until our foreheads were touching. I could smell his colone. I smiled. "What are you smiling at?" He questioned. I slipped both my hands out of his and wrapped them around his neck. I leaned in and was about to kiss him. He closed his eyes. I smirked and pulled back.
His eyes shot up and looked at me. "You have to take me on that date first." I lightly pushed him back and headed back to the living room. Joe came down after me and gave me his number before leaving because it was getting late. I got a text later that night.
'Tomorrow at 8. We are going on our date.'- Joe
'OK, see you at 8' - y/n
'I'm also getting that kiss'- Joe
'You can try'- y/n
I smiled at my phone and went to bed. The next day at 8. I heard a knock at the door, and I was almost ready to go. I opened the door and turned to walk in the other direction back to the living room to put on my heels. I yelled over my shoulder that joe could come in.
When he was entered into the living room, I was putting one of my heels on and was latching its buckle. Started to put on my other heel, and when I finished, I stood up a little too fast and tripped over myself and landed in Joe's arms. I laughed and looked up into his blue eyes. It reminded me of yesterday.
"Ready?" He asked. "Yeah," I mentioned and found my balance again. Joe was wearing a red suit. I was wearing a black dress. "Wow," Joe said, looking at me up and down. I blushed and thanked him we left to go to our date.
When we came back from the date, joe opened the door of his car for me and helped me out, and walked me up to the door. I stopped at the door and turned towards him. I smiled. "I guess you deserve a kiss." I told him. He smiled. "I guess I do." He looked at me and leaned in. I leaned in and met him in the middle and kissed him. Once we pulled back.
I bit my lip and asked, "So, when is the next one?" He smirked "of what a date or kiss?" He asked. "Date." I lightly hit his arm. "What about next week?" he answered. I smiled. "That works." I leaned in and kissed him again before entering the house. I went up to bed smiling.
