The New Girl Next Door

Tasmine’s POVHi, I am Tasmine Kelly, I’m a sixteen-year-old girl. Four days ago, I thought I was an orphan. Instead, it turns out my sperm donor has a heart and now wants me to live with him. Not in Brisbane oh no in the small town that he popped up from! What better way is there than to rip a young girl from her only home mere days after her mother was buried and ship her off more than half a state away from a place she had called home?As he continued to drive as he felt it was better to drive half of Queensland instead of flying, it was a great way for him to get to know me. I was quite happy staying with my mum’s best friends, but nope he must step in and become a father suddenly. Sixteen years he had a chance to get to know me, hell he could have stepped in and helped me look after my mother who was fighting cancer, but he didn’t, now he wants me to live with him?I am not a crazy person who jumps on a ride with a stranger, I know who he is. After mum had died, I ended up findin

Tasmine’s POVI grabbed my backpack and followed him into the house, ok cool not bad I thought, he knows how to clean so that is a good thing. He has kept all of the lovely Queenslander period items throwing into the rooms casual comfortable furniture, photos, artworks, and concert photos all over the big walls, wow he knows how to have fun, if he wasn’t my dad I would have said he is cool.“Come on in I will show you to your bedroom,” Dad said as I followed him into my room as I froze holy crap really? It was pink everything, and very princessy and so not me at all, I think I would be sick if I had to stay in this room. He really was not joking about it being pink and a small bed. I am very glad we had gone shopping before we got here.“Oh, um wow it’s very pink and small. Also, ridiculously small in size, is there another room I could have?” I asked hopefully, he looked like he wanted to laugh but also have the child he missed back in that room. I get it, but I would feel too suffoc

Tasmine’s POVIt’s one of those mornings where you want to sleep in but no one lets you, Lee was very keen for us to leave the house before seven-thirty in the morning, he is lucky I am even up this early on a weekend, which I know it’s not the weekend just yet but it sure feels it to me right now.I got dressed in one of my mother’s favourite outfits for me, a white dressy singlet, that I had teamed up with my high waisted pastel pink short shorts, with my mum’s colourful sheer chiffon retro floral batwing shawl baggy kimono, with the matching necklace that my mum bought me when she found the pants, I know I am angry at her right now but she did have a good sense in fashion.Walking out of my room towards where dad was waiting for me he looked up from his phone and right away I knew I was in trouble. “Oh, you are not wearing that today!” He snapped at me, I glared at him, “Nothing wrong with this! My mum bought me it and this is hers!” I snapped at him, I glared at him as I swished t

Tasmine’s POVThe younger three Emma, Henry, and Liam run around playing, screaming, and laughing while Theo and Ava are chasing them, Amanda, Elijah, and I are in one of the cubby houses, watching them running around. “So, Amanda, are you single?” Elijah asked if I wanted to vomit right now. “Yes, and no we are not doing anything.” She snapped at him.“Ok, you only have to tell me once, so cousin what is it like living with Uncle Lee?” Elijah asked, with a smirk on his face. “So far ok, I guess,” I said. I don’t get a good feeling from him, it's creeping me out a little. “How are you doing after meeting your whole family?” he asks me, I let out a loud sigh, “Amazing, wished my mother had not taken off with me, wishing she left and left me here, would have loved growing up with you all, and in this house.” I said with a bitter tone to my voice.Amanda smiled at me, “Yes, I know, hey you know Uncle Lee has an outdoor cinema.” Amanda said with a big smile on her face, both I and Elijah

Tasmine’s POV“What the hell Noah are you insane?!” I whispered to him, he is laughing, he has a cute laugh. “Just watching your beautiful ass trying to garden, it’s very cute you know.” He whispered, I looked at him stunned, “What? Yooou thinkkk Imm beautiful?” I stutter, why the hell am I stuttering? “Yes, I find you are very beautiful, even when you stumble on words.” He said with a smirk on his face.“That’s not funny, shoo I don’t want my dad to see you! I’ll text you ok.” I said, trying to hurry him off, with an eyebrow up in surprise, “You do not have my number.” He said, oh right dumbass, I quickly looked around to see what dad was doing, I couldn’t see him. I quickly found a dirt patch and wrote my number on the ground taking off back to the house as nothing had happened, halfway up the stairs my phone buzzed, a text from him. I smiled. “Food’s ready, why are you smiling like that?” Dad asked me.“uh like, what?” Play stupid Tasmine, “What you are doing right now.” He stated,
