A/n: first off it's so cold where I am🥶 and second this chapter is so relatable for me because my dog escapes all the time and I have to chase after him 😂🙄

David's POV
As I grabbed the last box marked  "Kitchen" I slammed my car door shut and headed up the steps to my new house but suddenly I heard someone yell a name which caused my attention to turn.

"Loki!", a female yelled. "Come back here right now!"

I walked down the steps to see what is happening and saw a girl wearing a black Nike sweatshirt and matching sweatpants with her hair pulled back in a ponytail whilst chasing something down the road. I looked ahead of her a bit and saw a black husky running after something.

I chuckled to myself remembering how I had to chase after my dogs back home. 

My thoughts got interrupted by the dog almost taking me down. He ran in between my legs and then around my yard and to my door and back down towards me trying to keep my balance steady.

I smiled and fixed the box underneath  my arm and squat down to pet it with my other hand.
"Hey, buddy.", I said softly.

The husky looked up at me panting heavily, but there was something about him that was intriguing, when I looked at him it seemed that he was mischievous and caused chaos. It reminded me of something I just couldn't think of it.

"Oh my god I'm so sorry about this.", the female said, making me lookup. She looked more beautiful up close. She had beautiful  [your eye color] eyes and could see freckles shining on her from the reflection of the sun. And I loved how there were a few strands of hair that weren't fully pulled back into the ponytail it was super adorable.

"Loki got too ahead of me and he thought I was playing with him when I started chasing him down.", she apologized.

Well, that explains it...

"You know what it's fine I understand  I have dogs as well.", I brushed it off with a slight chuckle.

"Really?" she asked arching a brow.

"Yes, they are just back home in Scotland.", I answered her.

"Interesting..", she replied. "So you must be the new neighbor?"

"Yes, I am.", I said grinning extending my hand out for her to shake. "I'm David."

"Well nice to meet you, David, I'm  Y/N Y/L/N.", she responded shaking my hand.

I smiled brightly hearing her name it sounds so wonderful. Which caused her to slowly crack into a smile too.

"Uh. So.. D- do you need any help with unpacking?", she stammered.

"No I don't think so, this is the last box to bring in but thank you.", I said.

"Okay..", she mumbled to herself.

She looked so sad oh man..

"But, I guess  you can help me unpack though?", I suggested. She looked up and smiled softly.

I motioned  Y/N and Loki into my house after I opened the door.

"Wow. This is a mess.", she said looking around my house I have boxes laying around everywhere which is hard to walk around because of it.

"Yeah, I think I do need your help..", I winced.

She giggled and bent down to grab a box.

While we were unpacking we started talking.

"So what do you do for a living?", Y/N asked.

"Uh, I'm an actor.", I replied cutting open the box and grabbing a couple of DVDs.

"Really?!", she exclaimed.

"Yep.", I muttered, putting the DVDs in the entertainment center.

"You in anything I ever saw?", she queried.

"Uh, have you heard of Doctor Who?", I said.

"Yeah... Wait a minute!", she squealed.

I smiled to myself that she finally realized who I am.

"You play the doctor!", she yelled.

"The one and only. I'm surprised you didn't realize it was me like I'm tall, jagged brown hair and Scottish wow..", I teased.

"Yeah, yeah," she said rolling her eyes. "What are you doing here?"

"Well, I just finished filming and I thought I should settle down," I replied.

"Ooh, can you give me a little hint of what it's about?!", She asked smirking.

"No Y/N I can't, you just have to wait until the release date!", I said laughing.

She giggled, "Had to try...."

I nodded whilst pulling out my phone out of my sweatshirt pocket to check the time.

6:30 pm

"Um I think you should head back to your house it's getting late...", I uttered softly.

"What time is it?", she asked.

"It's 6:30 pm," I answered.

"Really?", she queried. "Already?!"

"Yep.", I said sadly.

"Well, I guess I should get going.", she responded, clipping the leash onto Loki's collar.

"Yeah," I said and walked the two to the door. "Well nice to meet you two."

"Yeah, nice to meet you too!", she replied turning and heading down the steps.

She then stops in her trails and turned around. "Um... Since you are new here and all, I should point out that  there's always a festival happening around this time.  It's at the country field. You can come to it if you want..."

"Uh, sure I will consider it.", I said smiling.

She nodded and headed the rest of the steps and go back to her house.

I sighed and leaned against the doorframe.

I wonder if I will ever meet her again...
