"Come on, you didn't expect it to be something more did you?"
"Sure Hunter, why would I think like that? Why would someone like you...
It has been a week since I found out that Alex, or as I used to call him 'Hunter', is Claire's cousin who moved from New York, and they so happened to move into the house next door which has been abandoned for years. So let's just say, he's now my freaking neighbor and my oh so sweet mother thought it was a good idea to invite them over for dinner.
Right now I am in my room getting ready for whatever is to come. I didn't want to dress up but my mom insisted that I do, so here I am. Just as I finished applying some lip gloss, the doorbell rang.
"Honey, can you please get that, must be our guests." Mom called from the kitchen.
"Sure Mom."
Making my way downstairs, I opened the door only to come face-to-face with deep hazel eyes I know so we'll.
"Hi." Looking behind him, only to realize that he's alone. He must have noticed as he said, "Mom is on her way, sent me up early to give these cookies to your mother."
"Sure come in, she's in the kitchen."
"Oh dear come here, how is your mother doing?" That sent him off to the kitchen and I watched as he talked to my mom calmly and I think I even saw him smile.
I so wish he could talk to me so easily. How I will kill to see that smile directed to me.
The sound of the doorbell brought me back to reality and I hurried to go open the door.
"Hello Mrs Hunter, I'm Daisy." I smiled at Alex's mother outstretching my hand out for a handshake.
"Daisy"She tested my name on her tongue "beautiful name for a beautiful young lady, and please call me Emma." She said ignoring my hand and pulling me into a warm hug.

The dinner went on surprisingly well as mom and Emma chatted excitedly like two old friends meeting after a long time. As for the 'kids', we ate quietly and let the elders talk.
I kept glancing at Alex and he looked so calm today. We all know that, that's not normal right?
I was even surprised that he initiated a conversation with my mom.
"Your house is very beautiful Grace, I love it especially the garden." That's it, something is wrong with this boy.
"Thank you dia, you can check it out if you want." Mom smiled at me too sweetly and I already know that whatever she's going to say, I won't like it. "Sweetie can you show Alex around?"
"Of course mom." "Come on, let's go." As I said that, I was already making my way towards the backdoor.
I opened the door and turned to him, "Here you go, feel free to wander around."
"But your mom said to show me around."
"Come on Hunter, we both know the last thing you want is for me to be less than a hundred meters from you."
"Can't you just shut up for once and do as you're told." Ladies and gentleman, the Alex I know is back.
"Or what? Are you going to tell her? Jerk!." I scoff, making my way to the bench that's in the garden after closing the door behind me.

Before I can even reach it, the hot, sexy god was already in front of me.
Finally! You just admitted that he's hot.
Arrgh, just shut up!
"What the hell is your problem?" He said, reminding me that I was not alone.
"You...You are my problem. You act like you hate me for whatever I have done to you, and now you be acting like you enjoy my company. I don't know if you're bipolar or..."
I don't know what the hell happened, but I felt cold, soft lips on mine. Then realization hit me...Alex freaking Hunter is kissing me. What the hell?
Pulling me closer I found myself responding to him. His hands on my waist sending chills up my spine. His lips are so soft and he tastes like smooth chocolate and his scent hit my nostrils with full force, a mixture of rain and old spice.
I don't even know how we ended up against the wall, just that I felt it against my back. The kiss was rough, showing anger and how frustrated he was with me.
A couple minutes later we pulled apart for oxygen and he groaned as he started kissing my neck.
"Alex." I moaned, and that seem to break the spell as he pushed himself away from me.
"You really talk a lot, that will teach you to talk less when around me." He said, turning away from me.
"Oh." Out of all the million things I wanted to say that's the only thing that managed to get out.
"Come on, you didn't expect it to be something more did you?"
"Sure Hunter, why would I think like that? Why would someone like you kiss someone like me?" I humorlessly laughed "Doesn't make sense right?" Feeling my lips tremble I decided to get out of here before I cry in front of this jerk.
"Cherry?" I heard him call after me which only made my blood boil more.
"Don't fucking Cherry me, just leave me alone, don't talk to me, don't come near me, just stay away from me you bastard...I hate you." With that said, I made my way inside the house.
Thank God the moms have moved to the living room so I don't have to pass by them as I run to my room.
I didn't even change into my PJs, I just jumped on to my bed and cried myself to sleep.
