His eyes were warm but lifeless as he stared at me.
"you have no idea who i am do you? " he murmured without a tone of surprise.
"No," i reply defensively as i let him in through the door.
Although i know he's my neighbour ,i still know nothing about him. A million thoughts are running through my head, what if he kills me? My mind keeps buzzing in the back of my head. He takes a seat opposite to the marble coffee table i have lying around the living room. He looks very relaxed as if he knows what he's doing and does this all the time . Why have i let a stranger in my house, my mind keeps thinking repeatedly.
"You've seen me before i suppose? " he asks.
"only once," I nod nervously as i look around for a place to take a seat, but there's no furniture here as I've just moved in.
"so what makes you move from the upper eastside to the lower eastside?" he once again asks again as he helps himself to a glass of róse from my cabinet .
"what's it to you? " i reply flirtatiously. There's something about him that makes me go weak at my knees. He's a tall and muscular figure, he has those deep green eyes that'd make you fall in love almost instantly . Dark circles surrounds his eyes, he looks hurt almost as if he hasn't slept in days. The White T-shirt glued to his body is stained with what seems to be mustard . Awkward silence fills the room. He has one of those physiques you only get to see in movies.
" I knew your mom, " he just blurts out ao casually that it pisses me off.
My mom died a few months earlier due to lung cancer a cause of her unfriendly realationship with cigarettes. We've just finished unpacking our home . My family and I used to live in the heart of Manhattan but when my mom found out that dad was cheating on her a few weeks prior to her death she made us move down here, the lower eastside, Crosby street, the place where my mother grew up.
"Are you just going to stare? " he asks blankly.
"How did you two know each other?"
I ask trying to be as blank as i could possibly be.
"well you're mother and I had quite the history you see, she was my best friend before she dropped out of school to run away with the west guy; which I'm assuming is your father," he says again with that casual tone that pisses me off so much yet is such a turn on.
My mother was quite the rebel, she dropped out of school at the age of 16, ran away with my father and eventually gave birth to Matt.
Matt is my older brother, he's 18 which makes him a college freshman.
Matt and i both inherited our mother's beautiful ocean eyes. Some people often mistaken us for twins thus ignoring the age difference between us. I'm kasie , I'm 16 (still in highschool unlike my mother).
"what's your name anyway? " i ask .
"Dawson, Tyler Dawson," he replies.
"well Tyler , I'm kasie, " I exclaimed.
"You have your mother's eyes kasie, ' he just randomly blurts out.
"Oh cliche," i say trying to be funny.
"kasie, " he says in this tone that i have yet to discover the meaning of.
"yes? " i ask unaware of what was to happen next .
" can i have your phone, " he just simply says with confidence.
I hand my phone over, not really caring what he's about to do with it, since my mother's death my phone has been as dry as ever.
"here, " he hands me my phone back and starts to get out of his seat. I see he has saved his number . What a classic. without being aware of what I'm about to get myself into, as soon as he steps out the door , i press dial.
I see his figure turn around and give me this stare that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. Slowly but gently he makes his way towards me, not breaking the eye contact. Moments later he cups my face with his hand and slowly leans in, allowing our lips to interlock. His hands are in my hair as we make out , and the rest was a blur......
