I was so buzzed coming home from the party that I literally walked home in my tight black dress and bare foot, I forgot my heels because they hurt, I laugh walking down my quiet street and noticed my neighbor watching TV, he never goes out on weekends come to think of it I never really introduced myself to him,

all I know is he's a college student just like me and keeps to himself which is super boring "Wow look how pretty the sky looks" I say staring up the night Sky as I made it to my porch I knock over potted plants and trip over my welcome mat making the neighborhood dogs bark

"You gotta stay quiet Star" I giggled and made it towards my bedroom, as I get their I reached for my zipper on my back as I tried to reach it felt stuck or jammed, I groan in annoyance and let out a heavy sigh "Man.." I look around my bedroom and try to find something to get it unstuck but to my Vail I failed and almost gave up.

I tried pulling it over my head but it just made me yelp in pain, I tried pulling it down, it just caused me to hurt my shoulders and it was kinda tight as I pulled, I even tried putting a little oil on the zipper to make it move, but instead just made everything smell like corn including my fingers, I groan as I lay across my wooden floor, I checked my phone and saw it red 9:56 almost ten I peeked through my window and saw my neighbor still awake, I could ask him but he'll think I'm weird.

I groan wondering if my other neighbor Alicea was home but her lights were out, and Cameron was also gone, I looked back at my only neighbor that's awake or here, I made my way down my stairs almost tripping on my last step before I stepped outside my porch and looked to my left looking at his house. I walked slowly over to my neighbor feeling weird and nervous or just completely awkward because I haven't met this guy since I got here months ago.

I also have no idea how I'm going to ask him to help me unzip my dress..As I knock a few times I heard his heavy footsteps and the locks on the door move, I felt nervous he'll look at me like I'm some kind of weirdo "May I help you?" His voice was deep and husky making my spine shiver a bit, I looked up at his light eyes, they looked caring and sweet I could get lost in them if I wanted to. I also took notice he was wearing loose red basketball shorts and a tight grey shirt which showed off his muscles,

I blushed a bit and shook my head while I kept my eyes from his body "Uh..yes! I'm sorry to be bothering you so late, I have a tiny problem and I wanted to ask for your help? If you don't mind?" He raised an eyebrow and looked down at me, probably looking like a mess

"What do you need help with exactly?" I laughed nervously as I rubbed my arm "My zipper on my dress is stuck and I tried everything, even oil but it just doesn't want to come out" he smirks and chuckles a bit "Why did you come to me? I barely know you, heck I don't even know your name?" I sigh trying not to look at him"Well, my neighbors from across the street aren't there and I just really want this dress off so I can sleep" he crosses his arms and laughs more

"Well, I'll help you out or at least I could possibly try, but I need a name first" I smiled feeling hope that he actually accept my request "Star..my name is Star butterfly I'm your neighbor that moved in a couple months ago" I stuck my hand out and he shook it "Marco Diaz, now come in" I entered his house it was comfy and pretty big kinda similar to mine but more darker than my house

"Wait right here I have tweezers" as he disappeared I roam around his living room, he had photos of his family and friends, a photo that stuck out was a picture of a girl with a seashell necklace and teal eyes, she was pretty to say as I went to touch it he scared me "Um, don't touch my things, especially that one" he said snatching the photo and placing it faced down, I backed up in defeat hopefully not causing him anymore annoyance

"Okay, sorry" he motions me to turn and I did and he tries pulling it with a couple hard tugs, it was quiet and awkward to say so I broke the silence "So, who's the girl in the photo?" I say smirking and looking at him behind my shoulder, he was quiet for a moment and noticed me "Just a friend of mine" I looked down at my feet smiling a bit "She's really pretty.." he softens his tugs and sigh softly "Yeah..she was" I could feel the room getting a little tense so I stopped asking about the girl in the photo and went back to my zipper

"So, any luck?" He groans a bit as he tugs hard pulling a couple strands of hair with it "Ouch!" "Nope sorry, and I think you made it worse with the oil you put..I think you might have to cut your dress?" I spun around immediately and glared at him "Are you insane? My father bought me this dress on my graduation day, it was expensive" he chuckles as he scoffs while rolling his eyes "Like how much $500?" I shook my head "No at least $10,000" he looked at me as I said something terrible "Your kidding?"

"Absolutely not, I'm not cutting this dress, so please find another way that doesn't lead to cutting this dress, please?" he left looking for something else I stood in place waiting and he came back with a couple things "I'm going to get rid of the oils on the zipper, who even told you cooking oil helps you get unstuck?" I shrugged and tilted my head "I thought it could, don't judge me" "Are you one of those rich girls that don't know how to take care of themselves?"

I shook my head "Nope I can take care of myself, Also I'm not rich, my parents are rich I earn my money by working" he smirked "Same goes for me princess" I looked up at him and he turns me around "Hold still" as he tugs again I get this pain on my shoulder from all the pulling "This is hurting me" "Sorry, I'm trying my best here" I rolled my eyes and checked my phone '10:36' god I've been here for half an hour

"Star, I know this is a $10,000 dress but I might have to break the zipper, but I'll only do it if it's okay with you" I pout and thought about it, it's my favorite dress but I also want sleep "Okay...but wait! Before you start, I'm not wearing..um..a bra, do you have a shirt I could use when you break it?" As I said that his face turned red and left quickly almost tripping over his couch which made me laugh

"Hold up!" He yells back and he comes back with a red hoodie "All my shirts are dirty so I'll let you use my hoodie, just bring it back tomorrow" I nodded and thanked him, as I turn around once again he started pulling the zipper and it hurt until I felt my back feel exposed, as my dress fall slowly to the ground I quickly cover myself with his hoodie and zip up before turning and looking at my hero, well more or less

"Thank you so much Marco" I wrapped my arms around his neck and held tight, I bet he felt weird since he doesn't know me "It's no big deal, here" he handed me my dress and the broken zipper, I might have to get it fixed "Hey, maybe tomorrow you want to go get some pizza or just hang out? It's the least I could do for causing you trouble at ten at night?"

He chuckles and smiles at me "Sure, sounds cool" I smiled and nodded "That's awesome, and I'll wash this up for you and bring it back" "Yeah, see you tomorrow?" "Yup, tomorrow around noon?" He nods "Yeah, totally bye Star" I walked out his door as he watched me go "Bye Marco, this feels weird you know?" He gives me a weird look before he replaces it with a smile

"What is?" I looked down I'm wearing booty shorts and nothing underneath the hoodie "Look at me, I just came out of your house half naked and we're strangers, thank goodness no one is awake or here" he takes a few seconds and immediately blushes "Star, that's a little too graphic, just go home you need sleep" "I live right next door..hey I live right next door, your my neighbor" "Star are you drunk or something?"

"I'm a little buzzed but I'm fine, but I'm leaving I want sleep, see you tomorrow!" I yell and he shushed me to lower my voice "People are sleeping..lower your voice" I covered my mouth and ran to my house almost tripping on the steps, I waved at Marco and entered my house, as I go upstairs I dove into my comfy bed and feel relieved that the dress came off and also meeting my neighbor..
