The new girl nextdoor

chapter 51

Tara's POV

Once I got out of the shower and changed into an unpacked pair of clothes I walked into the kitchen and started making a sandwich, I grabbed marmite, lettuce, cheese and of course the bread and put the sandwich together. Once I made the sandwich I put it on a plate and carried it to Mark's office I entered the room and saw mark editing bits out of his videos I walked up behind him and placed the plate of the desk next to the keyboard, mark looked up at me and smiled "thank you" he reached up and pulled my lips down on his although we have kissed many times I still feel the sparks and passion behind every single one. I blushed when we pulled away "you're so cute when you blush" mark said touching my heated cheeks I shook my head and giggled "I'll leave you to you're work babe" I told him then kissed his forehead before walking out of the room.

I was sitting on the sofa in the living room reading "a song of fire and ice" when my phone started ringing I put down my book and looked at my phone the number was unknown I answered the phone "hello this is Tara" "hey Tara. It's Ryan" his friendly voice called out "Ryan, what can I do for you?" I asked "well I was thinking that I could check out that apartment you told me about" "oh what time? I've still got the old keys I'll let you in and show you around" I told him "that would be great, thank you. Umm could I come over now?" He asked "yeah sure. Is Matt coming over to?" "Na he's out" "oh, shouldn't he come too?" I asked "na he's fine with it" Ryan told me "okay cool. I'll see you soon" I told him then hung up before putting my phone back into my pocket.

Fortyfive minutes later I went down stairs to the main entrance and saw Jane sitting behind her desk "hello Tara dear" Jane smiled at me "hi jane" I replied and leaned against the desk "you and mark are going to Europe soon, aren't you?" She asked "yes. Tomorrow I fact" "oh wow! You'll enjoy every second of it my dear" she smiled warmly at me "it's going to be a dream come true. I've always wanted to go to the UK" I told her Jane just smiled in replie "is their something I can help you with my dear?" She asked "oh no, I'm just waiting for my friend. He wants to look at my old apartment" I explained. Jane and I made small talk for a few minutes before Ryan walked in through the front door "I'll see you when I get back" I told Jane "have fun my dear" she answered before returning to work. Ryan then approached me "hi Ryan" I smiled at him Ryan then pulled me into a hug lifting me off the floor "ryan-cant-breathe" I struggled to say Ryan chuckled as he placed me back on the ground "I forgot you were a hugger " I said placing a hand over my rib cage "sorry about that" I shook my head "it's fine. Just next time not so hard" I told Ryan he nodded in response "come I'll show you the apartment" I told Ryan then we made our way into the elevator.

Ryan and I stepped out of the elevator then I lead him down the hallway and stopped in front of my old apartment room 206, I put the key in the lock and turned the key opening the door "go on in" I gestured Ryan into the room. Once Ryan and I were in the room I closed the door behind us "well this room is the living room as you can see its quite a big living room" I told him "it's bigger then our one" Ryan laughed "and to the left is the kitchen and dining area" I pointed into the next room I stayed in the living room as Ryan walked into the kitchen to have a look around, when Ryan came out several minutes later he smiled at me "I love it! Show me the rest." After I finished showing Ryan around the rest of the apartment we made our way into mine and marks apartment "would you like a drink?" I asked as Ryan sat down at the table "coffee please" he answered I nodded my head and started boiling the jug "where's mark?" Ryan asked "Mark!?!" I called out, moments later I heard footsteps coming down the hallway "what is it babe?" Mark asked as he walked into the room "Ryan. What are you doing here?" Mark asked with a big smile, Ryan then pulled mark into a man-hug i smiled at their actions as I made the coffees.

~hey guys
Hope you liked this chapter,
I made it a bit longer since (yet again) it's late and I'm deeply sorry about that, I've just lost a close friend and I haven't really felt like writing. I'm not sure when the next chapter will be. But thanks for reading and I'll see you in the next one!
Bye-bye! :)
