Chapter 1: Galaxy of Blue eyes looking at me.
"Hail (Hail) What's the matter with your head? yeah...
Hail (Hail) What's the matter with your mind and all your sighing?
And-a ooh-ohh
Hail (hail) Nothin's a matter with your head, baby, find it
Come on and find it
Hell, with it, baby, 'cause you're fine and you're mine
And you look so divine" -
- I sang to myself while the oh so famous 'Come and Get Your Love' song played in my bright blue sony earbuds. I recently heard it again when I watched Galaxy of the Guardians- might I add that it was an A-mazing movie, and since I've watched it probably a good 20 times.
My iPhone was tucked into the pocket of my navy blue hoodie as I walked up the stairs carrying a black swiss army duffel bag and two classic Bankers boxes that you usually see people who get fired carrying out of their workplace. I kept second stacked on top the first. I could really see where I was going but my new condo was the first door coming up these green painted stairs. Whoever chose the colour scheme for this building must be loosing their cheerios. I was reaching the last set of stairs. I was on the 11th floor, and the elevator of course had just had to be out of order. I didn't have much. Surprising as it is I'm only 18. Finishing up my senior year of high school. I live alone. Not by choice. My mother left me. Abandoned me would be a better way to put it. She ran off with some 27 year old and decided she wants to travel the world. She had me when she was 16. Needless to say, she was not an ideal role model.
I decided to move into another smaller condo, it was still a fair size, but much cheaper and easier to maintain. As sick as she was to leave me, she sent a cheque of 3000 dollars home at the beginning of each month to pay for rent, food, and or any other necessities. When she first started doing this it boggled my mind as to where she was getting the money. One, she could have pulled the most devious bank job, stolen a credit card-(which she has done before), or is receiving the money from her little boy toy Sam the 27 year old living the previous life of a frat boy.
I worked, but that money was going away for school, or any other purposes I may need it for in the future. Rent here was going to be about 1000 utilities included in the price, so I will attempt to save as much as I can from her.
By the time I reached the top my legs were burning as I powered through without stopping once. I placed the boxes and duffel bag down and lay down on the floor, my headphones still plugged in as I continued to sing along to 'Come and Get Your Love' by Redbone.
I was brought out of my thoughts of relaxation when I felt some nudging my in the side. I flinched and opened my eyes peering at the person. My eyes widened in shock. He was gorgeous. Dirty blonde hair colour with blue piercing eyes narrowing in on my own. He styled an eyebrow piercing which looked rather attractive on him. A grin began to creep onto his face showing off his cheekbones and chiseled jaw.
I quickly sat up and got up stumbling a bit. I straighten my clothes. I was wearing black workout tights with zippers on the side and lines. My navy blue sweatshirt matched my old worn navy blue converse that I paired with the outfit, which might I add was one of my favourite outfits to wear.
He was much taller than me around 6'2 and I was much closer to the ground at a level of 5'2 1/2 (yes the half counts ) He sported a white t-shirt and a black cargo shorts with nike runners. You could see he was fit. The definition of his chest showed through his shirt and his arms were muscled and strong looking. I was pulled from my thoughts again when I heard a deep chuckle emit from the gorgeous creature in front of me.
I looked up at him to see his blue eyes filled with pure amusement.
"Those were a lot of stairs, and I was multitasking. If I didn't lie down I was most likely going to pass out, the possibility of a concussion being thrown in there, for all you know I could bump my head and bam in a coma." I said finished my ramble, something I did when I was nervous and basically anytime I was around the male species to put it simply.
"Well, you've proven very well that your alive and healthy, and actively thinking.:" he said humour in his voice.
"They need to fix that elevator. Stairs are not for the unfit." I huffed.
He let out a deep hearty chuckle which I blushed too.
"So, your the new tenant moving in across." he said putting his hands in the pockets of his cargo shorts.
"Yeah, I just finished up bringing the last of my things. Across?" I asked confused.
He licked his lip and smiled at me.
"I live across from you with a few buddies of mine, looks like were neighbours." he said in a mischievous way.
I narrowed my eyes at him and laughed.
"Should I take that as a good thing?" I asked.
"I'll leave that observation up to you." he said winking as he walked to the door that was yet across mine and pulled out a set of keys.
"Hey" I called out to him, which he turned to look at me after he opened his door and walked closer.
"Raven." I said
"Raven" he said trying it on his tongue. "I like it" he said with a smirk.
"Seth." he said sticking out his hand.
"Pleasure to meet you." I said smiling and feeling a small blush rise at his minuscule compliment.
He grasped my small hand in his warm calloused one.
"The pleasure is all mine." he said with a wink.
