Milan Ren Vaughn and Kairo Benton have spent months turning their apartment hallway into a silent warzone. She's convinced he's loud, messy, and allergic to respecting her peace, while he swears she was born to complain about anything he does. Their neighbors know the tension. Management knows the tension. And Christmas is the only thing keeping the building from falling apart. So when the manager assigns them to co-run the annual Christmas charity event, neither of them takes it well. Still, the holidays won't wait, the toy drive needs saving, and someone has to hang the lights - even if it means working side by side with the one person they can't stand. But as the season settles in, something unexpected begins slipping through the cracks. Late nights of planning feel calmer than they should. Their banter softens. The glow of the holiday lights makes everything seem a little less harsh, and a little more... possible. Moments that should've meant nothing start to feel like something they can't explain. They promised their truce would end after Christmas. But the holidays have a funny way of revealing gifts you never knew you needed - especially when they're wrapped in the person living right next door.

I finished washing myself and stepped out the shower. I screamed when I seen Quincy sitting on the toilet stool. I quickly covered my private parts while he held a stern face. "What are you doing? Get out! Where is my towel and clothes"I said looking around for them but I couldn't find them. "You have a very sexy body"He said licking his lips. "Your such a perv" "Here"He said handing me a towel and I quickly wrapped it around my body. I tried to go to the door but he grabbed my arm and sat me on his lap. His arms were wrapped around my waist tightly. "Where you going Jayda?"He whispered in my ear. "Can you leave me alone? What do you want from me? I barely know you Quincy"I said struggling to get out of his hold. "I told you to come downstairs but you didn't want to listen. So I did this" "I'm all ears. What do you want to tell me?" "I wanna apologize for throwing a knife at you. You just got me angry when you put your hands on me"
