Hot Neighbor

One

I was sitting on the couch watching yet another episode of Supernatural when my mom walked in carrying an armful of groceries.

"Can you help me put these away Athena? Brian's coming over for dinner tonight so I need to start cooking." Mom was never the best cook, but she tried and that was adorable. Don't get me wrong, I mean the three things she did know how to make were the best and no one could beat hers but when she tried anything new it wasn't typically very good. 

"What are you making?" I asked, hopeful it wasn't something new.

"It's this new recipe I found online, it's called-"

"Ugh, mom! Can't we just have enchiladas or something? I've been craving them for like a week and I know we have all the stuff to make them!" I begged her to make something different and she huffed and mumbled a "fine" before leaving me alone in the kitchen so she could change.

+++++++

The doorbell rang an hour later and I got up to answer it per my mother's request. I opened the door expecting to see my mom's boyfriend, Brian. But instead, in front of me stood some man I've never seen before in my life. 

"Uh hi, I'm Randy. I just moved in across the way and I was wondering if you could point me in the direction of the landlord's office? I tried to remember but I can't seem to get it right, sorry to bother you."  Well at least he seemed nice. 

"Sure yeah um, the office is in apartment 1A, right at the end of the path right here."

"Thank you! I don't know why I didn't think to try there. Thanks again."

I nodded and smiled before closing the door. My mom appeared behind me, asking who the person at the door was.

"Oh I guess we're getting a new neighbor. He seems really nice." She shrugged and went back into the kitchen. I walked back to the couch to finish my movie when my mom's phone started ringing.

"Hello?... Oh hey are you on your way?... No that's fine don't worry about it... Yeah we can do it next week, no problem.... Okay see you then, bye," She hung up and looked over at me, "Looks like it's just gonna be me and you kid. Brian canceled because Shane's sick." I nodded and went into the kitchen to make myself a plate and sat down at the table while my mom, Dani, did the same. We ate dinner fairly quickly before deciding to pick a movie to watch on Netflix. 

+++++++

The next day at school, I walked into first period still extremely tired and not very excited to be in my class at 7a.m. I found my seat and grabbed my phone out of my back pocket to text my best friend Delilah, but just as I was about to, the teacher decided it was a good time to make a class announcement.

"Alright everybody can you guys look up here please, I'll give you some extra time to finish last night's homework since I know most of you didn't do it," Mr. Jay laughed, he was pretty laid back, "but it looks like we have a mid-year transfer. His name is Blake Morani, so please make him feel welcome and all that. Blake, you can have a seat in the back near Athena over there." I didn't look up from my phone until I heard Jay say my name. I took a quick glance at this 'Blake' kid and did a double take. Holy mother of God, he was gorgeous. Six foot something, dark brown hair, tan skin, blue eyes, lord I could stare at him for the rest of my life. 

He took his seat next to me without even looking in my direction. Well that's that I guess. I didn't look at him for the rest of the period, too focused on the psychology lesson.

The bell rang after an hour and I hurried out of my seat and bumping into the new guy, he didn't look at me then either but I was too eager to find Delilah and tell her about this hot, but slightly rude, new guy. I rushed to my locker and opened it before she appeared next to me.

"Oh my God, you will never believe how hot this new guy in my first period class is! His name's Blake and he seems kinda rude but he's so gorgeous that I don't even care I just want to make out with him." I took a breath and Del stared laughing. 

"Um calm down, I'll believe it when I-" She stopped mid sentence as she looked past my shoulder and into the distance. "Shit, is that him?" I turned around and sure enough there he was, walking into the main ofice.

"Yes oh shit he's so hot, even the way he walks is hot, how is that even possible!" I shut my locker and pulled Delilah's arm to tear her eyes away from Blake. She followed me to our next class, which we had together, while mumbling profanities about how hot this new guy was.

I didn't see Blake again until the lunch bell rang. I was walking out of my class and out the front doors of the school when I noticed him getting into his car and driving off. Hm, he must have half days for senior year like me. I thought as I hopped into my car and fought my body's want to follow him to where ever he lived and makeout with him.

But as I pulled into the parking lot of my apartment complex, I realized that I wouldn't have to follow him because there he was, getting out of his brand new Challenger and walking up the path to my apartments. I quickly jumped out of my car and went to follow him to see where he was going.

And what do you know, he was walking up to the apartment that the new neighbor, Randy, moved into just yesterday.

Oh Delilah's gonna be so jealous.
