Chapter Eight

Rose's P.O.V.

I stare at Emilio in complete shock. He's my new neighbor?

The manager of the apartment complex told me there was someone new moving in next door, but out of all people, Emilio.

I mean this really must be a small world.

I take a good look at him, he was lazily rubbing his eyes, making him look a thousand times more cute than he normally is. My eyes scan down his body, to see him shirtless, wearing some grey sweatpants, hanging loosely around his waist; showing off his defined V-Line.

I tear my eyes away from his body, slightly biting my lip. I look into his eyes and see him slightly smirking, leaning against the door frame; obviously catching me staring at him. I blush realizing he knows I was fully checking him out.

"Like what you see Flor? You can take a picture, it'll last way longer." His voice is raspy, and deeper than normal. Causing my heart to pound against my chest. His morning voice was amazing, it was music to my ears.

I continue to scan his face, seeing his cheeks and eyes slightly swollen from sleeping, and his luscious, full, pink lips slightly swollen as well; making them look even more kissable than ever.

"In your wildest dreams hot shot." I respond calmly, looking up to him, still not believing he is actually here right now.

"Oh well, maybe flor." He shoots back, a playful wink sent my way.

I just look at him and chuckle, looking down on the floor.

"Flor are you doing anything today? We haven't seen each other in a while and it would be nice if we could hang out." Emilio says hopefully, he has stopped leaning on the door frame and gives me his full attention. He taps his fingers against the small table next to the entrance, a small nervous habit I noticed he does.

"I'm probably going to be chilling at home all day, if you want we can order in pizza and watch some movies?" I tell him, excited that he wants to actually hang out with me and spend time with me outside of the coffee shop.

"Yeah sure that would be amazing!" He exclaims, "What about at 3?" He says hesitantly, waiting for me to confirm the time.

"Yeah that's perfect, come over to my place any time after that." I confidently tell him, "Don't worry about bringing anything, I have lots of movies and snacks at my house." I quickly add on, making sure he doesn't bring more food.

"Okay, I can't wait, see you later Flor." Emilio says, a smile evident on his face, I leave him with that, and he doesn't close the door until I finish walking and am inside my apartment.

I close the door behind me, not able to get rid of the smile printed on my face, this boy makes me so happy just being in his presence.

I instantly walk into my room, getting ready for the day, and ready to hangout with Emilio later.

Emilio's P.O.V.

It is almost 3, so it was almost time for me to go over to Flor's place to hang out.

Flor was the last person I would have thought would be my next door neighbor. Do you know how much this could change things?

We would be close to each other no matter what. Anytime of the day, any day of the month; she's just a couple steps away.

I still can't process in my mind that I'm actually going to hang out with her, just me and her, in her apartment.

I change into a plain black hoodie, and some comfortable black ripped jeans, and I slip on my black and white checkered vans.
