The Guy Next Door

Ch. 1

Olivia

Ding!Ding!Ding!

I groan loudly as my alarm almost gives me a mini heart attack raising the covers over my head not wanting to get up. I try to close my eyes again when my alarm starts to sound louder and louder every time I ignore it. I make a big sigh reaching over towards my phone finally turning off the ringer.

"Wake up sleepy head!" I look up towards Jordan with his shirt off with gym shorts on all sweaty with a piece of bacon in his mouth.

I make a gross face. "Ughhh...how are you up so early?" I question pulling my covers over my head again.

"I had 6am workouts for the team and mom and dad said breakfast is ready so get your sleepy ass up before I eat all the bacon!" Jordan says snatching the covers off of me. In this moment I wish I was the only child, I finally lift up stretching my body out as Jordan starts to walk out of my room.

"You might wanna take shower first!" I shout as he shoots a middle finger at me nodding his head and I laugh a little and I get up letting some light in my room before heading down stairs. I rub my eyes stepping down the stairs when I get to the last step and see Kia my best friend pouring herself some orange juice. She looks and me and smiles.

"Good morning livvy! Juice?" She asks and I sit at the table and sip the juice she gives to me. This has been a tradition since eighth grade since she only lives about six houses down. Jordan walks in and smiles at her coming toward Kia.

"Hey baby.." he says and he instantly kisses her and I grab a piece of bacon as there kiss gets more heated and I shake my head.

"Can you guys not! I'm really trying to keep my food down and it's too early for that!" I say fixing the rest of my breakfast.

"Hater!" Jordan says kissing Kia again.

"Jay knows when he's all sweaty like that I can't stay away.." Kia smirks as Jordan walks away handing her breakfast.

"Gross.." I say shaking my head.

"Ok I'm gonna go get cleaned...oh liv don't forget to get the morning paper for dad cause I already took out the trash earlier! I'll be ready to drive us in thirty minutes" Jordan says and I nod finishing my food.

"Liv aren't you excited? We're half way through high school...member when we were younger we prayed for times like this? Prom homecoming college!" Kia expresses. I nod putting my plate in the sink.

"Can you slow down...yes I'm excited but it's only the first day of junior year Kia no need to be speeding up the timeline so fast.." I laugh walking towards the front door to get the paper.

"I can't help it!" She responds smiling as I go outside and see the paper is on the yard instead of the porch like it's supposed to be. I walk toward it bending down when I hear a noice from across the way and I lift the paper and look beside me. I see our next door neighbor Spencer taking the trash out shirtless as he looks up at me.

"Morning!" He yells smiling and I nod my head at him with a little wave. I go to say something else when his girlfriend walks out toward him in a robe showing him something on her phone laughing. And they both laugh at whatever she's showing him when she notices me.

"Oh hey good morning! Olivea right?" His girlfriend says and I grin almost laughing.

"Morning and it's Olivia!" I say shaking my head as I start to walk back before I see them start to make out right in front where everyone can see and I finally get back inside.

"Ew gross...Spencer and Alicia have no decorum whatsoever so ever.." Kia says looking out the window by the sink and I giggle at her.

"Wasn't that what you and Jordan were just doing?" I ask.

"I mean yeah but we're inside his home and I'm not half naked I have a little class!" Kia finishes and I open the paper for my dad. "And she's a year older than all of us...she should probably act like it.." Jordan walks back down stairs cleaned and dressed.

"What's your problem with Alicia anyway?" I ask already knowing the answer but maybe her answer is different this time.

"Oh I don't know...she's bitchy snotty oh and she forgets your name purposely just to piss me off.." she finishes and I laugh.

"Shouldn't I be pissed off?" I ask.

"Same thing! If you're pissed I'm pissed. And it doesn't help that Spencer just ignores it and lets her do whatever and now he we barely see him.."

"Kia just say the real reason why you don't like her.." Jordan chimes in while brushing his hair and I look at him and laugh.

"Hey she kissed you knowing we were together!"

"Babe it was eighth grade and it was harmless...it was a stupid spin the bottle game and we weren't official until after that." Jordan explains

"Call it women's intuition and she very much did it to get me riled up.." I laugh at Kia being dead serious when I hear a knock on the door.

"It's open!" I yell and davita comes in with a grossed out look.

"Do they not have a room to do that in? Instead of right in front?" Davita asks and I look out to see Spencer and Alicia still making out.

"Well good morning D...ready?" I ask and she looks me up and down.

"Yeah but you're clearly not.." I looked down and we both laugh.

"Yeah and she's gonna get left if she isn't ready in ten.." Jordan shouts holding on to Kia and I shake my head.

"Ok ok I'm going!" I grab the paper and head up stairs to my dad's office to hand him his paper. "You know that you can read the newspaper online like everyone else.." I say and he looks at me from his desktop.

"Naw I don't trust that.." he says as I hand him the newspaper as he drinks his coffee. "And why aren't you dressed?"

"I'm going just woke up a little late that's all.." I say and he laughs.

"You've never been an early bird..just like your mother.." he says and the mood doesn't change like it usually does but my mom leaving was a big change for everyone. She wasn't happy. But to move across the world is what rocked us to our core. "Did you call her by the way?" He asks.

"Uh no...I will though" I say being half truthful because I haven't been in the talking mood I'll shoot her text but I'm just not ready to face her just yet. The divorce was already hard on all of us I just need time to accept it just like my dad is.

"Those two are really going at it.." my dad says looking out the window knocking me out of my thoughts and I see him looking next door to the make out session that's going on.

"Dad.." I say laughing as he faces me.

"What? Ever since Spencer's mom's been working more Spence has been doing whatever he wants and I know she knows it too...I know his dad and brother died but.."

"Dad...don't." I say looking at him and he sees my serious face and he nods sighing.

"Sorry...I just think he needs discipline more than ever right now...but I have no right to be talking about there situation" I nod agreeing. "...if anything were to happen to your mother.." he starts when Jordan walks in.

"Liv we're leaving!" Jordan says looking at both of us.

"Go ahead Jay liv can take my jeep.." dad says and Jay looks at him.

"Dad? What? How come she gets to take the jeep! And I get the Mercedes?" He responds and i smirk at him.

"Oh I don't know maybe cause you totaled my other truck last year so you really shouldn't be talking.." my dad says and I laugh louder as Jordan groans leaving the room and I do too.

"I have good first day!" My dad yells and I head to my room to change.
