The Open Shot (The Hotshots Series Book 1)

Chapter Five

Yellow

We went back to the hotel around nine-thirty, yes, we A.L stayed with me since she insisted on helping me move to my new home. I don't have a lot of things, just my clothes, books and my laptop is all I have. The night I drove back to where my ex and I lived together I packed all my clothes and books and loaded it to my car except for my computer and bookshelf and chair. I left him a note that I'm coming back to get those. Once I get settled in the new house I get them. All in all, I have five big luggage's for my clothes and three medium boxes of my books which are quite heavy.

Now it's around ten in the morning. And we're good to go. I already asked for a luggage trolley just waiting for it. When the room doorbell rang, I thought I was the luggage trolley I asked when I opened the door it was Luke, smiling brightly while holding a coffees

"Hi, hope you don't mind me here" he says, of course A.L sticks to her words that she'll bring Luke to this.

"Of course," I replied, and I let him in.

"Finally, you are here" A.L says to her brother "did you get my message?"

Luke nodded and then turned to me "I also got you coffee I don't know what you usually drink so I just got you iced caramel latte" he handed me the coffee.

"That's exactly my drink thank you Luke" I reached for it.

"Glad I got it right" he sighs in relief then the room bell rings again this time it was the luggage trolley I asked.

Luke is a huge help. He did not let us carry the heavy luggage nor the boxes even loading it to the car. I felt a little bad about it. He must have felt exhausted since he played a lot last night and now, he is carrying heavy luggage and boxes.

"Where's your car?" I ask him

"I commute, I'll use A.L's car I'll be trailing you of just send me the location" he suggests

"Great idea dear brother." A.L agrees and tosses her keys to him.

"Ok I'll send it to you just in case" I sent him the link from the maps

"Oh, I know this area, one of my teammates lives here too." he says. Great, now I'm his teammate and I will be neighbor.

"Let's get going folks" A.L says she is already in the passenger seat of my car.

I turn to Luke "Drive safe" I say

"You too Yellow"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Just in an hour we arrived at the house. The relator is sitting on the porch waiting for me. I went out the car A.L did as well. Luke had still not arrived.

"Hi, sorry we're a bit late, this is my friend A.L" I told the realtor.

"It's definitely understandable Ms. Hartley" she still looks great young "Come on I'm going to show you your new home" we followed her.

The house is furnished. I just must buy some furniture like a couch, a bed, a tv, refrigerator, and kitchen stuff and utensils. The good thing is that there's already an oven. There's already built in cabinets in every room this house has three rooms one masters and two guest rooms one upstairs and one downstairs which probably I will convert the one of those in to my workspace. The patio is wide as well which I really liked. After the tour the relator handed me the keys and told me to call her if I have questions and something is wrong in the house.

When A.L and I headed out the house Luke was waiting for us outside but he wasn't alone. I suddenly feel shy and stunt. It's him jersey 22 Luke's teammate in the middle of these two tall men, a little girl who looks exactly like him.

I haven't clearly seen him this close last night, but damn this man is more than handsome. Green eyes shade of a jade, his hair in the same rich chocolate shade, the strands so sleek they reflected the bright afternoon sun. And the fact that he is so tall. Dude this man is stunning.

"How's the house?" Luke asks.

I turn my head to him "I pretty nice" I say

"Hello auntie A.L" The little girl says to A.L

"Rory girl, oh my gosh Yellow you and War will be neighbors."

"Oh" that's all that came out from my mouth. I don't know what to say to be honest,

NEIGHBORS!?

Like the guy who caught my attention last night will be my neighbor.

"I was also surprise to be honest, anyway Yellow this is my teammate Warrick and his daughter Rory" Luke says

'His daughter' Eco's to my head he's married. Okay he is off-limits. It's a good thing, for me, right? Right?

I smiled at them "Hello, I'm Yellow, your new neighbor I guess, and A.L is my best friend" I say

The little girl looked at me amazed. "Wow, your name is Yellow like the color?" she asks

I nod "It's actually a nickname my real name is Yolane Willow" I tell her

"My real name is Aurora Soleil; it means arrival of sun and sun"

"Wow you have a beautiful name and you are so smart you must be your parents' sunshine"

It's just a wild guess since they named her after a sun

Her eye twinkled like she can't believe I guessed it "How did you know my dad call's me sunshine"

"Do you want a secret?" I ask her, she nods

I crouch level her ear and whispers to her ear "My dad calls me sunshine too."

"Really?!"

"Yes, it is. That's we have something in common you know" I replied

She looks at her dad Warrick "Dad what is common means?" she asks.

Warrick's glance at me first then turns to his daughter, "I mean you two have the exact same thing sunshine, like you and her have the same pink bear or something else" he explains. He did not hear what I whispered to his daughter. But gosh I don't know but just watching him explains it to his daughter looks so hot. Something is definitely wrong with me, I'm a hundred percent sure about it.

"Oh. Okay me and Miss Yellow have something the same!" she giggles

"That's right Rory! I like you now" I say she's really smart and cute and when I say I like her I mean it.

She giggled "I like you too Miss Yellow, but I had to go back inside our house. I'm watching Sleeping Beauty" she says and runs to their house.

After that I look at the guy standing in front of me "Sorry about that Rory is a little chatty. Warrick by the way"

"No, it's totally fine, nice to meet you. Uhm... I just going to unload my stuff" I say

But Luke stopped me "Nope they are heavy let me and Warrick do it for you."

"Isn't it a little... too much?"

Warrick shakes his head "No it's not Yellow" he's voice is deep. I avoid thinking about it.

"Th-thank you"

"You're welcome"

And they started to unload my stuff from my car and brought it inside the house. Me, Rory and A.L stood there watching the two-man going back and forth.
