The New Boys In Town (Book Two)

Somebody To Love

I didn't bother showing my face up again that day. I'm sure they've had enough of me anyway.

There was a knock at the door.

I sighed, getting up from the couch. I turned around before opening the door, I just stared at the couch.

Memories...

I slowly opened the door.

"Oh, Hey Roger" I smiled at Roger.

"Hey, Lils. Mind if I come in for a while?" He asked.

I nodded, "Sure" I opened the door some more so he could come inside.

We walked towards the couch, both of us sitting down.

"What's up, Roger?" I smiled at him.

He shrugged, "We're new here, I just met you. I feel like getting to know you a little more" He scooted closer to me.

I smirked, "Alright. What would you like to know..?"

He took a stran of my hair, gently placing it behind my ear.

"What is a beautiful woman, like yourself, living here all alone?" He smirked.

I chuckled, "Roger, we've been through thi-"

"I know, but how come you haven't tried looking? I mean.. A lucky man for you just might be right in front of you.." Roger started to lean towards me, tilting his head.

I realized what he was doing, I gently pushed him away.

"No, Roger... W-We can't.."

He pouted, "But Lily.... I have a fancy for you.." 

I shook my head, "No. You have an urge for me. You have an urge for women, Roger." I chuckled.

"No, Lily. You're different." He said, gazing into my eyes.

"Well, I'm fancying someone else right now. I'm sorry, dear" I whispered to him.

He sighed, "At least I tried?"

I chuckled, kissing his forehead. "That's for trying. Now, go off then. No one will know of this."

He smiled, "Alright, alright." Roger walked towards the door.

"Um, Roger?" I called out to him.

He ran back towards me, "Yes, love?"

I blushed.

"Would you mind sending Freddie over here? Please?" I asked.

Roger sighed, "Alright."

No long after Roger left, Freddie came inside and quickly sat beside me.

"Is everything alright, darling?" He looked concern.

I laughed slightly, "Yeah. Just everybody seems to have a liking on me all of a sudden, it's odd. Why now?"

Freddie shrugged, "Love can come in many forms, dear. It can also come at the most unexpected timing.." He wrapped one arm around me.

I looked at him, chuckling a little.

He looked at me oddly, "What?"

"Lovely hat, Fred. A feathered fedora..." I played with the feather.

He smiled, "Well, it's fashionable.." He smirked.

I laughed, "Well, it looks very cute on you." 

We looked at each other.

"I think it would look cuter on you, darling." He took his hat off, slowly making the hats way towards me.
