Neighbours

Twenty Nine

I woke up and was clueless of what to do, I didn't feel welcome enough to go down stairs , I stayed upstairs for 5 more minutes making sure I looked okay and sorting my hair out, I slowly walked downstairs and gently opened the living room door, he wasn't in their, I continued walking through the house into the kitchen to find him In shorts with no top on leaning over the counter drinking out of a sports bottle full of water I'm guessing, I stood by the door and he asked me a couple of questions, he look hot, tired and sweaty
G "did you have a nice sleep..was the bed comfy enough" I nod
E "yes thank you"
G "you hungry?"
E "no...um I'll get going" he looked at for a couple of seconds
G "you don't have to"
E "no seriously I bet your fed up of me"
G "no you've been no trouble...sit have some breakfast"
E "no thanks I'm not hungry...can I ask you a question?"
G "yeah sure!"
E "why are you sweaty?" I laughed
G "I finished my morning run" he smirked
E "how many times do you have to run a day?"
G "two" he licked his lip slightly
E "can I asked you something else?" He nodded
E "why did you help me last night or this morning" his face went serious
G "well I seen you on the bridge, I knew you was upset but didn't want to seem weird to you so I just asked you if you were okay and then I seen you later on and just thought fuck it so I asked you"
E "but why?"
G "I don't know I guess I just felt bad for you and thought that you were a nice person, luckily you are, and well your really pretty" I tried to hide my smile
E "thank you, and thank you for all of last night and letting me stay and for waiting at the hospital with me"
G "oh yeah how's the pain?"
E "I haven't got any"
G "you know your welcome to stay whenever you need to or would like to"
E "thanks" I was falling for him already, he stopped me from thinking about Harry, I couldn't help but blush at him, he was perfect.
I went upstairs and put my jeans on, I put my hair up in a ponytail and Gabe drove me home, he stopped outside of mine, Harry was standing on his doorstep talking to Liam who was leaving, I thanked Gabe one more time and gave him my number,
E "we should go out together one night or something"
G "yeah definitely" I kissed him on the cheek and got out, I walked to my front door and opened it, waving him off, my mum and Tom was sat on the sofa cuddled together, they both turned round and looked at me
M "where did you stay last night?"
E "at a friends house"
T "what happened to your hand"
E "nothing don't worry about it" I walked upstairs
M "don't worry she'll get use to it one day it will just take time" I heard her say to Tom, the fact is I don't hate him anymore it's just that they both get in my business which makes it sound like I hate him.
Later on that day Gabe asked me if I wanted to go for some quiet drinks and meal, I sang doing nothing and was really bored so I said yes, by 7pm I was dressed and ready for him to pick me up, he text me when he was outside.
We got to the restaurant and we ordered some drinks,
G "have you spoken to Harry or Theo yet" I shook my head
E "no I think I'm just going to leave it, like Boys in general, I'm just going to find new people and get some true friends"
G "that's a good idea"
E "who needs a boyfriend or a girlfriend"
G "exactly" we both laughed
G "you look really nice tonight" he looked me up and down
E "thank you..I like your jacket!" I put my hand on his shoulder and wrapped his arm around my waist, we both smiled at each other, I turned back to the bar and took a sip out of my drink, a lady walked up to us

Waiter "Your table is ready if you'd like to follow me through" we both nodded, I grabbed my drink and followed the lady, I sat down and Gabe sat across from me, it was quiet, there wasn't many people.

We ate and ordered dessert
G "you should come to a fight with me on the weekend"
E "I don't know"
G "come on it will be fun"
E "I think about it?" He rolled his eyes at me
E "oi!"
G "just come you've never watched one before"
E "because their not very nice to watch"
G "well I think that you should come with me"
E "fine! But If I don't like it I'm never going again and leaving"he nods, calling the waiter over, he orders some more drinks
G "do you wanna stay mine again tonight" I knew he was only asking because I told him that I hated living with my mum and her boyfriend
E "no it's alright"
G "sure cus it's no problem, have a think about it"
E "okay"
G "you know if you wanted to you could move in with me and we could be room mates"
E "wow hold your horses we only met 2 days ago"
G "and I reckon were going to be good mates"
E "same"
E "so tell me how you got into boxing"
G "well when I was little I always got into little fights at school because I enjoyed it, when I left school so college I went and trained in a gym had my little girl and then became a professional boxer who's fights are broadcasted on tv so yeah not a very interesting story"
E "you never told me you had a little girl"
G "yeah me and her mum only speak when we have to and it's usually about her there's not much conversation between us"
E "do you wish their was"
G "only for my daughter, like I don't want her growing up and feeling like she has to do something to keep peace like I don't want any secrets and I want her to know that we both care for her together that were both there for her at the same time and that we can be a team without any nasty comments or remarks to each other"
E "what's her name?"
G "Isabella"
E "I think i need to meet her" I laughed
G "yeah sure when I have her for the day next we can something all together"
E "sounds like fun"
