The One I Was Waiting For.

He is not worth it

As Jack, Rob and their mom walk inside their house, Mandy sprints inside our house, to our mom and dad. They are sitting in the living room on the big purple couch. Dad is reading a newspaper and mom is on the phone.

"Mom!" She shrieks, sitting near mom.

"Miss Monica, can you hold on for a minute?" Mom quietly says on the phone and then keeps it on hold.
"What is it, sweetheart?" Mom asks her politely. I know what you're thinking. Yes, everyone in my family is this polite and neat. It's just the way we are taught to behave.

"Jack is here with his family. Don't you think we should be polite and greet them as our new neighbors?" Mandy questions her, excitedly.

"Yeah, we would love to. But after I come back from the hospital at night." mom says and uses her fingers to caress Mandy's cheek.

"But it will be too late by then." Mia dramatically pouts.

"Darling, you can take Rich and Mish with you. Then you can invite them for dinner tonight. Okay?" Mom tells her, giving a reassuring smile and Mandy grins at it.

"Now, we three are going there to invite them and help them unpack!" Mandy runs towards me, holds my hand and drags me out of the house. Rich is forced to follow us. His sister's wish is his command. He's just the best!

We stand outside our new neighbor's house. I am actually quite excited too, to see Rob. Richard rings the bell.

"Coming!" A female voice, which sounds like jack and Rob's mom calls out.

She opens the door and pulls Mandy into a hug.

"Hey sweetie, I am Janet." She says to me, extending her hand.

"Mishi here!" I smile.

Janet and Richard exchange some words and then we are allowed to enter the house. It is a huge one, just like ours. It is like the mirror of our house. These people seem richer than us, though.
Soon, we start helping Janet and Jack in unpacking. But Rob is nowhere to be seen. Jack is already my friend because of Mandy and also because he is in our school. So we have a lot of fun unpacking his stuff. The funny thing was when I found porn DVDs in his Suitcase's secret pocket. His face was priceless.
After a while, suddenly we hear some loud music from a room upstairs.

"Here we go again!" Janet says, seeming mad at Rob playing the music so loud.

"I told you to throw his music player on our way," Jack mutters.

I laugh and stroll towards the side wall to set a photo frame there. I finished setting it when Rob walks down the stairs. Only I notice him. He is shirtless and is wearing blue pajama pants which hangs from his hips in a sexy way. His bare chest is perfectly toned and I just want to touch it. I can't help but stare hard at it. He walks past me as I stand at the doorway of kitchen. As he walks by, a lovely scent touches my nostrils and I am really turned on by it. Oh my! What is this guy?
He opens the fridge and takes out a beer can. I wonder how this fridge is full of food and drinks. They just moved here. He opens the beer can and takes a sip from it. I am still staring at his chest, but as he looks at me, I look away.

"Mishi, right?" He asks as he walk in my direction.

"Yeah." I give him a smile.

"What's with your hair?" He makes a disgusting expression pointing towards my hair. I am in a messy bun with a few loose strands.

"What?" I ask as I can't understand why he's mentioning my hair.

"You look so much like a boy. Look at your outfit, your hair. They're just not like a girl!" He smirks smugly.

I am stunned by his mean comment to me. He just met me.

What. A. Jerk.

"I don't really care what you think of my hair or outfit." I reply in a cold tone and turn to leave.

"Oh I think you do!" His words stop me.

"Excuse me?" I turn again to him.

"The way you look at me, babe. That just shows how attracted you are to me." He says, touching my cheek with his index finger. His finger distracts me but I slap it down in anger.

"Really? You think so? You're full of shit." I laugh sarcastically, saying this and turning on my heels. I just walk out of their place, my ears burning with rage.

What the hell was I thinking?

I am attracted to a jerk like him? He must be that typical player guy, fucking every girl he meets. I am just so out of here!

I decide one thing and that is to stay away from him. He's not worth it. I can't see myself attracted to him. He's an asshole.

I didn't want to be alone at home, so I decide to go out. As I reach out to find my driver, I see him sitting across the parking on a bench in our huge garden.

"Mike! I've to go out " he runs to the car as I say and then I'm transported to my best friend's house.

Gee! I am still in the T-shirt, pants and bun. But do I really care?
