Neighbor

/-Riley-/
I contemplate for a while before joining him on the sofa.
He seems quite busy with whatever he's doing on his laptop.
"Dean? Can I talk you for a sec?" I ask hoping it's not a bad time.
"Go on I'm listening" he says without looking away from the laptop.
"I wanna go on with school" I say.
"Okay".
"I was thinking of moving in with one of my friends since the school's quite far from here" I tell him and he looks at me for the first time.
"No" he says curtly.
"But Dean I can't go to school from here".
"I'll have you transferred then" He shrugs and turns to the laptop.
"But my friends.. come on Dean. Fine, why can't I move in with a friend?" I ask.
"Because I'll miss you. I want you around me. I want to see you all the time" he says staring at me.
"Then you can stop by anytime. That shouldn't be a problem"..
"It is. I won't see you anytime I want. What if I wanna sleep over?".
"I'm sure we'll work something out. Please Dean. Please" I pout.
"Fine but I'll get your own place. I don't wanna be restricted" he gives in finally.

Dean did get me a place in a quiet neighborhood. The house is pretty and close to school like i wanted.
I've got a next door neighbor who I'm yet to see.
I wonder why it's taking Jamie so long to get here. He lives close by.
I hear the doorbell and sprint to the door to scold him only to meet him.
"You?".
"Yeah. We meet again" he grins letting himself in with a tray of cookies.
"How'd you know I live here?" I ask.
"Cause I live next door" He shrugs.
"Oh. So are you gonna tell me your name or what?".
He drops the tray and walks back to me. He places his arm round my shoulder and me to the dinning. I glance at the arm then him.
"I'm Liam. Don't worry I'm gay but you're free to crush tho" He winks and I chuckle.
"You're not even that handsome" I scoff. I also notice his hair's now red. He's hot and got this feminine touch.
"Since you're here, help me unpack" I say tossing one of the boxes to him.
"What? No. How about i help you eat the cookies while you fix a sandwich for two?".
I roll my eyes but before i can say a word, the jerk's already munching the cookies I'm supposed to eat.
"Why are you here again?".
"To keep you company and eat lunch. I'm glad you're here, you know. No more cooking for me" he grins disappearing into the kitchen. Probably to get a drink.
The door opens and Jamie enters with Tess.
"Riley!" They squeal and engulf me in a hug.
"I'm so happy you guys came. I was beginning to get worried" i say.
"Dean got you this?" Tess asks and I giggle.
"It's pretty. Please don't make it a dollhouse" Jamie pouts and I hit him.
"Why? You could have stayed with me" Tess scoffs.
"He doesn't wanna be restricted" I tell her.
"And you bought his excuse? He's just try'na buy you over" She says. Jamie and I exchange glances.
"I don't think thats what he's trying to do. Personally, i think he's not that bad" Jamie says.
"Dean's not buying his way outta anything. He apologized and I forgave him" i say calmly.
"I knew this was gonna happen. You know defend a man who stole your innocence without remorse. For Christ's sake, Riley he bought your parents and now he's doing same with you. You're letting him into your head. He's no saint" she snaps.
"Why're you sounding this way all of a sudden? Everyone deserves a second chance" I say.
"She's right. I think Dean's cool. He's always been tho. Stop trying to ruin her day" Jamie says.
"The bitch's fuckin jealous." Liam states appearing suddenly.
"Who the fuck is he?" Tess asks.
"My neighbour and friend" i say.
"Friend? I thought we were your only friends" Tess says glaring at me. Then him.
"Well you're not. Liam meet my friends, Tess and Jamie" I introduce them to each other.
"Wassup bro? Good to have you here" Jamie smiles and they exchange handshakes but Tess faces me with anger.
"First Dean now him? What more are you keeping from us?" She snaps.
"Why're you being so paranoid. What's wrong with having him as a friend too?" Jamie asks.
"You know what? I'm outta here" she huffs.
"No one gives a fuck" Liam states and she storms outta the house.
What's up with her? I thought she'd be happy.
"Lets get this party started" Liam announced and I frown. What party?
Music starts playing and the asshole pops the wine right on me. I state at my wine drenched clothes in despair and then at Liam who's busying screaming and trying to pop another. Someone's gonna die today.
I grab my own wine and pop it emptying the contents of him. Don't worry, it's Dean's wine we're wasting. Otherwise, I would have strangled them for wasting my money.

After the little party, Jamie goes home while Liam slums on the couch.
"I'm guessing you don't plan on leaving" i chuckle.
"Go away Riley. I'm trying to catch some sleep" He whines.
I chuckle and head to my room to shower. After that, I settle on my bed to sleep.
Halfway through my sleep, I hear a thud. I open my eyes and listen again.
Something's hits my window but I'm too lazy to check it out. I try to sleep again when my phone rings. I glance at the table clock. It's almost 2am.
"Perfect time to call Dean" i yawn.
"Come to your window" he says and i walk over sleepily.
My eyes widen as soon as I see him leaning on a Porsche.
"What are you doing Infront of my house? Go home, I wanna sleep" I say.
"I'll just keep throwing things at your window then" he says.
"Fine I'm coming down" I groan and hang up.
I step on my slippers and walk out to meet him.
"Wifey" He beamed.
"Mind telling me what you're doing here by this time?" I ask but his eyes drop to my boobs.
I suddenly remember I'm not wearing a bra. My nipples are clearly pointing beneath the singlet.
I cover my chest with my arms and he smirks.
"Perv" I mutter. He closes the gap between us and takes off my arms.
"I wanna stare cause every part of you is beautiful" he says huskily and my cheeks burn.
"Why are you here Dean?" I ask.
"I miss you. I couldn't get you outta my head" he says and my heart skips a beat.
"Its 2am Dean. You could have called" i say.
His arm snakes round my waist and our bodies jam.
"I didn't just want to hear your voice. I wanted to feel you too".
I think I'm loosing my breath. He's driving me crazy. His eyes drop to my lips.
"I know what's next. Just kiss me and get it over with" I blurt. I hate the fact that i sound so desperate.
He chuckles, "Do you even know what a kiss is?".
"Who doesn't know what a kiss is?" I roll my eyes trying to ease my nervousness.
"How many have you kissed before? Cause i doubt you know how to kiss".
I bite my lip. He's right. I've never kissed anyone before. I quickly plant a kiss on his lips.
"See? I know how to kiss" I say and he laughs.
"You call that a kiss?". I nod and he laughs.
"You've got so much to learn wifey".
I look away feeling embarrassed. He gently turns my face to his.
"This, Barbie, is how to kiss".
He claims my lips and my eyes shut tightly. Slowly, i begin to kiss him back.
I want to stay here forever. Is it possible to kiss that long? But it's not a bad idea right?
Sadly, he pulls away and i open my eyes to find him staring at me.
"Let's have a little ride outta the city" he says.
"Dean it's late. What if there are robbers out there?" I ask.
"Let me worry about that" he shrugs.
"I can't go out like this" i say pointing at my chest. He takes off his shirt and my jaws drop.
Holy shit. That torso. My hands itch touch his abs.
He lifts my jaw and I swallow.
"Can I touch it?" I ask.
"Can I touch yours? He smirks and my arms wrap round my chest.
"Then don't touch mine too".
Is he really gonna go out like this and have ladies drool? No way.
I still go ahead to poke to poke his abs. He doesn't stop me or try to touch mine. He simply smiles down at me.
"Get your shirt back on."
"Why?".
"Because you'll attract too much attention."
"You were worried about your boobs so I took it off to ease your worries" he says.
"Charming but get it back on" I say sternly and he grumpily pulls it on. I sigh in relief.
I get into the car and he zooms off like he just broke outta prison.
"Slow down, dickhead. You're gonna get us killed" i scream but he swerves quickly to the right almost throwing me off the seat.
I shut my eyes and pray inwardly that i don't get judged beside him Incase we die. The car stops.
"Were you praying just now?" He laughs and i get out of the car angrily.
How dare he laugh at me! I thought we were gonna die.
He runs after me and hugs me from behind.
"Sorry if i got you upset" he whispers kissing my cheek. A smile crawls on my lips.
"Forgiven. So where are we?" I ask.
He releases me and looks around. He itches his head.
"I dunno. I kinda lost track while watching you pray".
"So we're lost?" I ask trying to remain calm.
"And outta gas as well" he adds.
I end up laughing cause I know I'm so gonna kill him.
