My Next Door Neighbor Joe Sugg

Chapter 4

I sighed as I finished setting up the furniture in my bedroom. I finally had a bed. I smiled and jumped into bed, it feels good to have a place to sleep now.

I walked downstairs and looked around. The kitchen was all set and my living room was filled with empty boxes. It looked quite messy but at least the furniture was set up. I looked around my kitchen, I don't have much food. I should probably go grocery shopping.

It was a bit late but I needed food. So, I grabbed my keys and went to the store.

As I looked around, I heard my phone ding. I looked at it and it was a message from Bryce.

Hey Vanessa! I was wondering if you wanted to go out for coffee tomorrow :)
It's Bryce btw

I chuckled and texted back.
Sure, just tell me the time and place and I'll meet you there!

A while later I heard my phone again. As I was reading the message, I bumped into someone. I looked up and saw a tall guy with bright green-blue eyes and messy brown hair.

"Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. I wasn't looking, are you okay?" He looked at me and my face flushed.

"Y-yeah I'm fine. I was j-just looking at my phone. It's my fault, s-sorry." Come on Vanessa! Stop stuttering, what are you doing?

He smirked and seemed to be inspecting me. "My name's Pj, you look oddly attractive."

"Um thank you? My name's Vanessa." I gave him a confused look. Should I be happy he said that?

"It's a compliment, don't take it so seriously!" He laughed and looked at my phone as another text came in.

"Oh sorry about that! I'm just texting someone." I ignored the message and smiled apologetically at Pj.

He shook his head and smiled back. "No, it's okay. You should probably text your boyfriend before he gets mad."

"Huh? That's not my boyfriend, why would you guess that?" Did he look at the screen?

"Sorry, I just thought a pretty girl like you would have a boyfriend. Does that mean I can have your number then?" He blushed and pushed his hair to the side.

"Sure, why not?" I gave him my number and said goodbye as I walked away to finish shopping.

I could hear laughing coming from next door as I was getting some ice cream. I chuckled and shook my head slowly. It's going to take a while before I can get used to all these youtubers.

Speaking of youtubers, I have another interview next week. Someone named Zoella, I think. She was really sweet in her emails so hopefully this interview goes smoothly. But she lives in Brighton. That's a problem.

I sighed and turned on the tv as I grabbed a spoonful of ice cream. Just then I heard the doorbell. I groaned and got up lazily.

My face instantly lit up as I saw it was Joe. I smiled and opened the door. "Hey, sorry to bother you. Um my friend came over and he wanted to meet you."

"Oh uh, I guess I can go to your place for a second." That's weird but I guess it wouldn't hurt to meet him.

"Hey Caspar! Come here!" Joe called out to his friend as we entered his apartment.

I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. A tall blonde guy came running towards me. He hugged me and started laughing. "It's just like Joe said! You are pretty cute!" He let go of me and stepped back smiling.

"Wait. Joe said I was cute?" I raised an eyebrow at Joe and crossed my arms.

"Well, I didn't exactly sa-" Caspar interrupted Joe before he could finish talking. "Oh yeah. He wouldn't stop talking about you! I just had to meet you after that."

"Huh, you talk about me Sugg? Don't you think that's weirder than calling me cute right up front?"

"Calling you cute? Who else said that?" Caspar looked between Joe and I.

"A waiter called me cute and someone got jealous." I smirked as Joe's face got redder by the second.

He sighed and rubbed the back of his neck. "I was making sure he wasn't a creep. That's all. Also, almost everyone has been calling you cute! Why are you teasing me about it!?"

Caspar and I laughed as Joe pouted. "Anyway, I have to go now. I have a date tomorrow." I stuck out my tongue and walked towards the door.

I felt a hand grab my arm. "Wait! What are you talking about? Who asked you out?" Joe pulled me towards him and grabbed my shoulders.

"Is it so surprising that I've got a date?" I was a bit offended. Why is he acting like this?

"No, it's just that you said you didn't want to date anyone!" He was shouting at me. Caspar stood behind Joe, he was trying not to laugh.

"That doesn't mean I can't go out and have some fun right? And it was Bryce, the cute waiter, who asked me out." I slipped away from Joe and walked out of his apartment.  He looked disappointed but I didn't think much of it.
