The perfect melody

Chapter 1

Melody's POV

I jolt up out of my sleep when I hear a loud crash from the apartment next door. I turn on my light and put my slippers on to go check it out. I walk out into the hall to see a tall dark haired very attractive looking man moving boxes.

"Hello?" I say standing at my door

"Oh sorry. Am I being too loud?" He asks excitedly

"well I mean yeah. Its 9 pm what are you even doing?"

"Im juts moving the last of my items. Ill be done soon I promise" he says apologetically

"You couldn't do this at any other reasonable hour" I say while I cross my arms over my chest after noticing his wandering eyes.

Maybe I should have put my robe on. Well, too late now.

"well not everyone can be asleep by 9 so no I can not" he replies

"Well can you hurry up I have an Interview in the morning and I'd like to get some decent sleep before then." I turn y back to him and walk into my apartment

He huffs out a breath as I Shut my door

Jerk

I climb back into bed trying to get comfy again when I hear banging again. he has to be doing this on purpose. Nothing I saw in that hall would make that must noise. I turn over trying to ignore the growing irritation I feel but it's hopeless. The longer I toss and turn the more irritated I get. I let out an annoyed groan and I put my slipper back on and this time grab my robe so his eyes can't wander where they shouldn't. I knock on his door and to my surprise I'm the one with the wandering eyes. He's standing infant of me shirtless and sweaty which is not good for my unwanted celibacy.

"did you need something or did you just come here to stare at me?" he says cockily with stupid smirk on his face

I roll my eyes in return and regain normal brain function

"What could you possibly be doing the your making so much noise now!?"

"Putting my bed frame together. Is that a problem?" He says leaning against the door frame and god does he look good doing it which only pisses me off more.

"You can't wait until the morning?" I'm trying to keep myself calm but he's making it very hard right now

"no. Why would I do that?" he asks

"gee I don't know. Maybe to be considerate to all the other people in this building!" I try to keep from raising my voice but the longer I stand here arguing with him the angrier I get

"Relax cupcake. Im almost down then you can get your much needed beauty sleep" He rolls his eyes and goes to shut the door. I slam my palm against it stopping him from closing it

"What's that supposed to mean?" he doesn't reply just simply chuckles and closes the door anyways

I stand there for a moment like a deer caught in headlight with my mouth agape.

What a fucking dick! I can't believe he said that.

I stomp back over to my apartment slamming my door closed.

How could someone that good looking have such a shitty personality. How dare he shut the door in my face and with that stupid fucking smirk on his face. God I could punch him in that pretty little face of his.

To my surprise it was pretty quiet after that but now that I was so riled up I couldn't bring myself to fall asleep. Since I couldn't fall asleep I decided to read a chapter of my book. one chapter turned into five and I didn't end up falling asleep until after midnight. Tomorrows gonna be a fun day.

The next morning

I wake up to some much needed peace and quiet. I drag myself out of bed even though I just wanted to stay in bed all morning. I get ready for my interview and I put on a ling floral dress and did simple makeup look to mask how tire I am. I grab my bag and head out the door and notice more boxes sitting in front of my new neighbors door. Now that I think about it I never got his name. Maybe I'll introduce myself when I get back.

I head to my interview and it was short and sweet. She said she liked my personality and that she would love working with me. It was a bakery and a floral shop together that has always caught my eye. I never had the balls to apply until now. I mean what's the worst they can say No. I've heard far worse in my life a no wouldn't even dent my ego. Well maybe a little because I really want this job. The owner said she'd give me a call by the end of day tomorrow to let me know if I was the best candidate for the job. I left the shop feeling lighter without the added anxiety of a job interview. I stop by the grocery store to grab some of my favorite raspberry tea and then I head home.

It's about 12 in the afternoon now and I notice the boxes are still out in front of his door. I wonder if I should introduce myself now or wait until later.

Oh what the heck no time like the present.

I knock on the door and wait for a response.

The door pulls open and he is standing there shirtless again with messy hair and sleepy eyes.

"I'm sorry did I wake you" I ask feeling bad for bothering him. Who knows when he went to sleep last night clearly he's a night owl.

"It's fine. What do you want?" He says his voice deep and raspy

God either I'm a horny bastard or celibacy has really gotten to me over the last year and a half.

"Um- I just wanted to properly introduce myself and tell you to bring your packages in the owners kind of bitchy about that" I say fidgeting with my fingers as I ramble

"I'm melody" I offer my hand for him to shake and he gives my hand a dirty look

"Bailey" he says

"I know we kind of got off on the wrong foot last night but hopefully we can get past that" I say cheerfully

"I'm not interested in making friends. Not with you at least." He says bending down to grab his packages

"See I was trying to be nice considering how I came off last night but clearly those were your true colors. If you want to be a dick fine by me but if you so much as make a peep tonight I will be right back here again. I won't be so nice the next time." I say

"That was you being nice? You should work on that" he says

"You wouldn't know anything about being nice you jerk" I say turning and rolling my eyes at him
