But He's My Grumpy Neighbor Novels & Stories

He said to me, I nodded at him. He brought his body even closer to me so I could feel the warmth of it his body, I smiled out of nowhere and then I looked up to see his face and then the spot light in our place disappeared. Wrong timing! "My name is Kent and I'm your neighbor." I heard his name but the last thing he said I didn't understand because the music was so loud. I just nodded so that he wouldn't notice that I was a bit out of my mind again!

“Oh, baby, you’re attracted! Is she older than you, too?” He clears his throat, ignoring how red he feels. “My neighbor’s a guy.” Her teasing look turns into an amused one. “That makes it all better. He’s older than you, isn’t he?” Then she grins. “No, you don’t have to answer that. It’s all written in your face.” He sighs and finishes his cigarette. “I didn’t plan to control my voice. It’s just that I owe him one because he was the one who took care of me when I had a flu.”

What are you up to right now?” “Oh, just waiting for Mr. Next Door to return from the gym so I can torture his ears tonight.” She laughs, full and loud. “Lulu! Leave that man alone! Why not just be friendly for once? You need a man in your life. Imagine your neighbor! Built-in cuddle buddy.” “Frey, what the hell? Are you seriously trying to hook me up with that grumpy-ass man?”

I was in league with one of his grandsons to betray the other. Isn’t that classic?

he muttered and with that he stepped back, flashed me a dry smile that didn’t quite touch his lips and walked away. ***** “Girllll! Your face is everywhere! Proud friend moment, I’m so proud of you,” Betsy squealed over the video call. I giggled and leaned closer to the camera, “What’s going on?! Why the noise,” I asked, she rolled her eyes to the back of her head and hissed frustratingly, through the camera, I saw her stand up from her bed and walked into her living room. “It’s my nonsense neighbor. He has been blasting music since I got home. My head is literally throbbing,” she said and I chuckled, her face was knotted in a tight scowl as she flopped down onto the chair and adjusted the c

I couldn't understand why my friend said the man looked familiar, but then I realized it was Joe, my neighbor and Lesley's husband. Sometimes we would travel together, and I would post our group pictures online, so it wasn't surprising that my friend recognized him.
