"Hey!" He calls from his balcony.

I can't believe Laura lives right next to the idiot.

Why him? Of all people in California she has to live by the most annoying.

"You live there?" I yell back.

"No, I'm just robbing. Thought I'd take a break." He replies sarcastically.

I roll my eyes, "I wanted a break from you and your stupidity." I retort.

"Oh you know you missed me." He smirks.

"What was that? I can't hear you." I lie.

"Fine. I'll come down then."

Great.

He disappears inside the house only to reappear at the front door with a stupid smile on his face. I hesitantly open the door.

"Hey." He greets, wiggling his brows.

"Bye." I say, closing the door.

"Wait!" He wedges his foot in the crack of the door, preventing me from closing it.

"What?" I hiss.

"Can I come in?"

"No."

"Why not?" He frowns.

"Why in the name of Gandhi would I let you in my house?"

He grins, "Who wouldn't want me in their house?"

I sigh in frustration. Is he getting more annoying or is it just me?

He waves his hand in front of my face,"Hello?"

I knock it away, "What?"

"I said I'm sorry."

I furrow my brows, "Sorry for what?"

He looks sheepish, "You know..for acting like a flirt. And being pretty annoying."

I raise my brows. Wow, the idiot understood he was being stupid but still chose to be stupid. That's a whole new level of stupidity.

"And your concerned now because.."

He runs his hand through his dark brown hair, "I don't know...you look really annoyed by me. And.. I don't like it."

"That's because I am really annoyed by you." I confess.

"Well...lets start over then. Fresh start. We never bumped into each other, never met." He offers.

I have to admit I am surprised by his offer, but just because he asked to 'start over', doesn't mean that will change who he is. You can't fix stupid, plain and simple.

"I don't know.." I trail off.

I rather just act like we never met and stay like that. I don't understand why he wants to bother with it.

"Come on...I paid for your bagel."

"The one that you knocked out of my hand?"

"Still. Come on. Lets start over. I promise I won't act like a whatever you've been thinking in your head."

"Idiot, jerk, flirt, d-"

"I get it." He interrupts.

"So...start over?"

I sigh, "Fine. We can start over."

He smiles. A smile that made my heartbeat pick up. Wait what?!
