I was over at Suzanne's for dinner tonight. I was in the kitchen helping Suzanne. 

"Where is Andy?' I asked as her son was still nowhere to be seen

"I don't know, He told me he will be home by seven. let me call him and ask" She said 

I, on the other hand, got up to get myself a soda, and as soon as I opened the soda can it suddenly erupted on me like a volcano.

"Oh, shit," I said and walked over to the sink as fast as I could. I groaned

The soda was all over me. "Great now I'll have to go home and change again" 

Suzanne was already laughing at me. "Don't be silly, go clean up in the washroom. I will get you some clothes." She said

 "Okay, thank you " I made my way towards the washroom I opened the door a scream came from inside.

"April, close the door!" Alice screamed

"Oh I am so sorry Alice" I cover my eyes and close the door  behind me

 Suzanne laughed at me and told me to use the bathroom upstairs.

I went upstairs and entered a room that I assume belonged to Suzanne's son, Andy. I went inside the bathroom took off my clothes grabbed a towel from the shelf and dried myself when I heard a knock on the door. 

Wrapping the towel around myself I opened the door for whom I thought was Suzanne. What happened next was not even on my list of impossible things! I froze on my spot, my eyes ready to pop out any moment now. My heart was thudding. He was standing in the doorway. Fucking Aiden Dawson was standing in the doorway.

"What are you doing here?" We say it in a unison.

His wide eyes traveled down my body and then I realized that I was standing just in a towel.  I was but instantly I jumped to face the other way.

" What do you mean! I was invited here, what are you doing here?" I asked him

"Well FYI, it's my Fucking house you are standing in!" He exclaimed

" What! No ways! It's Suzanne's and her kids Alice and Andy's house" I said

" FYI I am  Andy!" He exclaimed

"You are not Andy you are Aiden!"

"Well yes I am Aiden but those people downstairs who are supposed to be my mother and sister call me Andy!" He threw his hands up in the air in frustration  

I was traumatized. How did I never see him around and how did I not know that he was my neighbor!  How in the heaviness of angels I didn't notice that I was living next to Satan.

I turned around to face him but he was facing in the opposite direction.

"So you are Andy?" I asked him.

"Yes, I am Andy," He said "And stop calling me Andy"

"How come I never saw you around?"

"Well To be honest It's none of your business," he said

"Jesus! Would it kill you to be nice Sometimes! " I asked him in extreme irritation

"Yep," he popped the P "And don't you think I am too young to die" I could hear him smirk. what a jerk!

"Why do I even bother talking to you!" I wanted to scream

Aiden turns around to face me. I clutch my towel tight, afraid that it is gonna fall any minute. His eyes meet mine. Suddenly the air was too hot around us. He looked at me with this intense eye and his expression was blank hard to make out what he was thinking.
