I woke up to the obnoxious sound of a truck backing up. I slowly rolled out of bed, every muscle protesting my actions, and looked out my window. Ugh new neighbors.

Recently they have been building and selling houses around mine like crazy, and quite frankly it's getting really annoying. I mean seriously who moves a month before Christmas?

I trudged down my stairs to get some breakfast before my best friend, Kayla, came over.

"Morning." My brother Blake sleepily said.

"Movers wake you up too?" I raised my eyebrow as I pulled out a bowl and some cereal.

"Yah, why can't we have a simple 'Sleep in late' Sunday?"

"I have no idea but I hope they finish soon, Kayla's coming over in about an hour." I eyed him as I watched his face change.

"Kayla? As in your best friend Kayla?" I smirked and told him that it was the one and only.

Blake has had this weird obsession with Kayla for the past few years. I know most people would think that their brother and their best friend being super close was weird, but honestly I loved having the two people I cared about most being friends. 

"Mom and Dad are still on that vacation and I have some errands to run. Don't let Kayla leave before I get back!" With that he threw his bowl in the sink and ran up the stairs two at a time. 

I finished my cereal and made my way up the stairs, man it really was too early to be awake.

I had just finished getting dressed when the doorbell rang. I ran out of my room and to the door. I opened the door before checking the peephole, thinking it was Kayla. I was so wrong. 

Before me stood the hottest man alive. He had blonde hair styled into a sexy quiff; he was wearing black skinny jeans, a nirvana shirt, and a black jacket. Damn was he tall, what is he like 6'5?

"Uhh....yes?"

"Yah uhm, my mates and I are moving into the house across the street." He said in a very attractive Australian accent. Oh lord I hope my face doesn't show what is going through my head right now. Wait what if he can read minds! Stay focused Lena. 

"Oh okay nice to meet you I'm..." 

"I know who you are, I caught your brother on his way out earlier.  Anyway the guys who have the keys are about an hour away and it's cold as balls out here." He cut me off. Rude.

"I'm sorry?" Why is he complaining to me? And why the hell is he so rude? I already don't like him, I think.

"I was wondering if I could chill over here. Please?" He didn't seem too sincere about his please but I don't care. If I was in his shoes I would want someone to let me in, I just wouldn't be so damn rude about it.

"Uh yah sure. Come on in." I stepped away from the door to let him in.

"Oh and my name is Luke Hemmings."
