She's just not that into you

Chapter 1: Cookies

*RILEY'S POV*

I wake up gasping. Desperate for air.

I look around my bedroom.

I'm alone. No one's here. No one can hurt me.

I take a deep breath collecting myself. I'm okay.

I get out of bed and open my blinds letting the 6am sunrise shine through my bedroom enlightening my home.

I ponder to the bathroom and begin getting ready for the day.

my fit ^^

It's on the chiller side of the autum today so i think this can work. I style my hair with a small bit of gel and water until i feel ready to leave the house.

I'm taking myself to breakfast this morning like i do every Sunday while my mum is at work. I step out my front door and i look seeing my neighbour moving her boxes into her car.

"Are you moving?" I ask stepping over my garden and onto their grass that i mow for them.

No wonder i haven't seen her in days.

"Yes we are, sweetie." Marianne smiles gently. They lived here ever since me and my mum moved in when i was 2 so 15 years ago.

"Who is moving in?" I say.

"My daughter." She smiles.

I now smile too.

A new friend?

"She's a huge sweetie like you and around the same age."

"That's great!"

Marianne gives me a big squeeze, "You have my number so call me if you need anything, alright?"

"I will, thank you."

"Thank you."

Marianne is like another mother to me. She always gives me advice, tells me how to do things. She's a real saviour.

"Wait, does your daughter live alone?" I ask.

"Yep, moved out when she was 16 and now she's seventeen she wants this house since we're moving."

"Why does she live alone?"

Wouldn't you want to stay with your mum forever? I know i do.

"She likes it that way." Marianne smiles unaffected.

I shrug it off. Atleast someone new is next door, and my age? This is so exciting.

Marianne soon drives off and i stare through the windows of the home.

Scratch this boring lonely breakfast this morning. It's time to bake some cookies.

~~

I stare out the window as a car pulls up. It's a deep black Porsche will silver accents. It's amazing.

My jaw drops as the most beautiful woman ever steps out the car. She's got big brown eyes and dark brunette hair. She's tall, easily 5'11 but still way shorter than my 6'3. I can't see much of her facial features from here and i feel drawn to see her fully.

I take time to look at her outfit. Her figure is perfect. She is perfect.

her outfit ^^

I watch as she goes inside and then i wait. I wait because i don't want to go to her house straight away with cookies, that just looks like i'm stalking her, which i'm not.

I'm giving her time to settle.

But once it's been half an hour and i get impatient i grab the cookies and march over to her door. I stand infront of the house.

'She's a sweetie just like you.' I recall Marianne's words.

I take a deep breath and knock on the door.

I hear a groan from inside and loud thudding footsteps before the door swings open.

Woah.

Shes even more beautiful up close. Her leather jacket is now removed and i can see the curve of her shoulder, her long tan body. She could be a model.

Her deep eyes pierce through me, "Can i help you?"

Her voice his low, husky. Dominant.

I can't quite decide if she's mad at me. I haven't even done anything wrong.

I smile, "Hi i'm Riley. I live next door and i just wanted to bring you some cookies as a welcome gift."

I move my hands closer to her which lay the cookies. The note on-top has my phone number too. You know, just in case of an emergency.

She frowns and takes the box from me.

I stand there and rock back and forth on my feet as i bite my cheeks. She stares me up and down and watches every nervous tick. It's like he can see through all my lies. My bubbly exterior.

"This is where you say, 'Thank you so much.'" I prompt for her, she's clearly having some trouble.

She doesn't say anything.

Heat rushes up my neck as i get embarrassed and flushed under her stare.

"I just wanted to introduce myself and see my new silent neighbour."

I walk across the garden and her gaze follows me.

"Goodbye silence girl with no name." I smile waving at her from my door as she watches me, my box of cookies and phone number i'm her hands.

"Adele." Her husky voice echos as i reach my door.

I tilt my head as my brows draw together.

"My name is Adele."

"Nice to meet you." I smile.

She doesn't say anything but just goes back inside as do I.

That wasn't so bad was it?

I pull out my phone waiting for Adele to message.

She doesn't.

i want to give him a big cuddle
