The bad boy next door

Balconies

~🔸Cleo pov🔸~

The silent atmosphere was killing me I had to say something. 

"Dad this dinner is delicious," I tell him planting another forkful of the pasta into my mouth. One of grandmas recipes and Billie's favorite.

He grunted in reply. The afternoons events hadn't gone to plan. After all the excitement Billie had collapsed into a pool of emotions. Sulking in her room most of the afternoon only making her appearance at dinner. Nothing we say to could cheer her up. I told dad she's just nervous but he wouldn't take it. We both know Billie and we both know that this was unusual behaviour for her. 

After everyone had eaten I collected the plates and put them in the sink. Rinsing each one before stacking the dishwasher. I was climbing the stairs when my phone rang within my pocket. I continued to walk into my room before answering as I knew it would be Tori angry at me for not calling her.

Tori: Cleo?

Me: yep hey

Tori: for God sakes women I've been calling for ages.

Me: nice to hear your voice too my lovely best friend!

Tori: oh yeah hey how are you?

Me: oh jolly well thanks

I stood up from my bed and walked towards the window. Peering out I can see across and into our neighbors house.

God I'm such a creep

Tori: you still there?

Me: ...... Yeah

For a second I though I saw some movement in the window. Squinting my eyes I look closer. Parting the curtains I peer through....

And straight into the eyes of the source of my curiosity.

He looked around my age with jet black curly hair green eyes and olive skin.

"Ahhh!" I scream.

Tori: what?!

The boy screamed the exact same time but hit his head on the tip of window sill.

"Crap, Tori I have to go!"

Tori: what!? Wait?!

But I didn't I hung up on her and then ran out onto the balcony.

The boy did the same but was rubbing his head.

"Oh my god, are you okay I'm so sorry!" I tell him. He smiles but then grimaces as this action hurts. I stand helplessly. It's less then a meter between our balconies. Climbing onto the edge of mine and grabbing hold of his I jump. Landing swiftly on the railing I jump over it. I walk up to him and place my hands over my head. 

"Are you okay?" I say quietly. He steps back a bit but smiles.

"Sorry, this is awkward of me. I don't do this often," I say blushing and stepping back. 

"No it's okay, yeah I'm fine" he says. I nod and turn around preparing to climb back into my house. 

"Wait!" He calls I freeze and turn. "I don't know your name." He smiles. 

"C..Cleo" I say simply.

"Well c...Cleo my names Jasper, nice to meet you!" He smirks. 

"Yes well I wish I could say the same, serves you right for peeping in my window" I say curtly before turning and climbing without hesitation back into my home.

Closing my balcony doors behind me I sit on my bed. I find my self smiling.

Yes he's hot. Real hot. But seriously.

Shaking my head I flounce towards the bathroom for a hot shower.

I watch as she climbs into her house. Smiling I do the same except into my own.

What a cutie

Did I just think that?

Sighing I lay on my bed.

Cleo

Hmm

Feeling the weight on my eyes I slowly shut them I'd deal with my homework tomorrow.
