The boy next door

Chapter 4

I opened my curtains the next morning feeling something I hadn't felt in a long long time - refreshed.

I looked outside and realised just how close our House was to the opposite one. I saw a messy room on the other side. There was a bookshelf and a computer ? It looked black and big.
This must be the boy's room. I don't know which ones.

" what the hell " a boy in a towel entered the room and saw me peering. I blushed and pulled the shades down , breathing heavily. Did it make sense that apart from being nearly naked , he was the most gorgeous boy I had met ?

" hey new girl" the boy yelled

" did I scare you ?" He asked again.

I won't respond. Don't respond Louisa. Louisa Margot Rhodes don't you dare turn your head. Why does his voice sound like velvet ?

" okay I'm guessing you're a mute since you won't answer " he said

Do not reply.

" he'lllloo?"

Self control

" we have a new neighbour. Only problem she's scared " he said changing tactics.
Nice try loser.

" oh crap my cell phone sucks. It doesn't have your number in it " he said and I controlled the urge to laugh. I looked into the mirror. No blush. I walked back dignified and rolled up the shades.

" hi " he said smiling with ease.
Here's a cheesy pick up line of my own.

I wish I had shades . Cuz the light in your smile is blinding me.

" hi " I said shyly.

" okay spill. Was it my pick up line or my good looks that made you open the shades ?" He asked grinning pervertedly.

" neither.  It was the fact that I would have to listen to cheesy pick up lines copied from the net for the rest of the day if I didn't " I snapped back.

" so you miss Amelia's girl ?" He asked

" yes " I said

" Alex what the hell " another boy entered and my breath hitched. I was gonna need inhalers if I was gonna stand with two hot boys in the same room.

" exactly my reaction " Alex grinned

" no I have no idea about your reaction. what the hell - you were supposed to be setting the table half an hour ago. And mom made me do it " he frowned.

" whatever " he said

" who's this ?" He asked noticing my presence

" this is uh ?" He looked at me stopping mid - flourish.

" Louisa " I smiled at the boy

" hey. Jacob " he said not paying any more attention. He exited the room.

" whoa he's rude " I said a bit stung.

" he's not a morning person " Alex said his hand on the sill leaning forward.

Careful , you'll fall down. Which will only make your face look human but still.

" I won't fall " crazy mind reader said

" I hope you don't " I said sincerely

" why ? You worried about me already ?" He smirked
Everything I said , he twisted.

" no I just don't want to be the one caught by all the girls in Mulling and beaten to death because pretty boy broke his nose " I hissed

" you calling this pretty ?" He growled and lifted his tee. Oh I wish he hadn't done that. My breath hitched.
