Does My Neighbor Like Me Novels & Stories

I ask not bothering about the fact that I'll be late for school. "Cookies or cake for the Donovan’s, our neighbors’" "Our neighbors’?" I point in the direction of the only neighbor I knew about. "Yep I met the mum yesterday, Naomi, she seemed pretty nice and she welcomed me with the Brownies in the freezer, I think it would be great if we do something just like that too." Oh, those brownies that I devoured last night. But our neighbors are also those jerk boys, no way. I'm not giving them any cookies or cake. "No mum, the introduction you did is enough; you don't have to give something in return."

He walked up to me, wearing a friendly smile. "Hello! Are you the new neighbor next door? I'm Jerney. I haven't been here for too long myself, but I've been here for about three years now. Welcome to Park Slope!" I greeted him with equal warmth. "Would you mind if I joined you for a walk?" he inquired. I nodded, and we resumed our journey with him leading the way. Ultimately, it became an enjoyable stroll as Jerney pointed out the best sights around us. I've come to appreciate this place, its atmosphere is undeniably inviting, and the locals seem quite friendly.

If I can't be honest with my best friend, then who can I be honest with. "Just please promise that this stays between us." "Of course. So what is it?" "So, you know I moved out right. My... uhm... neighbor is a guy. And we had a couple of interactions for the past month." I started. I guess I made the right call by not saying that we live under the same roof, 'cause by the look on her face... She's already cooking a story. "Is he hot?" "Seriously?" "It's just a yes or no, Psyche."

What could he possibly need my help with? Curious, I asked, "What is it?" "I made too much food. Can you help me finish it?" His request was so unexpected, I almost burst out laughing. All the irritation that had been building up since finding out he was living across from me just evaporated. I playfully kicked at him, my hands not staying idle either as I swatted him, "You're messing with me, aren't you? Do you think I'm a kid?" He let me kick and hit him a couple of times before gently catching my hand. "New neighbor, let's get along from now on."

Or did he not want me living next to me? That had to be it. Maybe he didn't want me as his neighbor anymore but was too shy to say it because it would seem weird. “Look, it's alright if you don't want me as your neighbor anymore. It's totally cool, I'll find a place somewhere else.” I placated him. There was no need to be weird over something so minor. I would find a new place in less than a week. Moreover, I wasn't exactly in a hurry. “No. It's not that. It's definitely not that.”

Even thinking about it made me feel uneasy. I spotted my three patient friends standing far away from the crowd and immediately sent them a message. [Please accept this! It’s just a little token of appreciation from me. Don’t worry, the entire complex belongs to my family. We can afford to give away three units! Pick any apartment you like. Don’t you dare refuse! Friends look out for each other, right?] All three of them looked at me, visibly stunned. From a distance, I smiled softly and waved at them.

We both said at the same time "Don't tell me you live here too" I creased my eyebrows and looked at the person with an oddly familiar voice. My mood fell. I just started my day and it's already like this? "Really out of all the people in the world why do you have to be my neighbour?" "Hello neighbour the name is Jaxon"

You can know him very well if you wanted to. "You won't get it, being my neighbor is okay but being my boss it's kinda awkward you know. I mean I will be interacting with him more in the office. I will address him formally and it's just felt weird". "B it's so simple when you are at the office he is your boss and when you are at home forget that he is your boss just be your neighbor. Don't complicate simple things maybe it is fated to happen like that. Just get to know him more if you wanted to. You are the one who told me that he is new in town make friends with him. We don't know what gonna happen in the future anyway.

Suddenly I feel nervous. It’s not like he would try to pull something on me on the first day we met, right? And certainly not while I am dressed like this? But why did he inadvertently try to ask if I had a boyfriend? Maybe I should invite him in and see where it goes? No, that’s probably a bad idea... we are neighbours after all. How awkward would it be to have a one night stand with your neighbour and have to see him all the time. Bad Blair! It’s ok to just have guy friends without benefits too! I’d best just go home and do some work...

Because Moon is not a name commonly used as a family surname. "Just Lei?" I nodded. "And you? Your name is also just Sol?" He nodded too. I smiled widely. His cold friendliness, okay that's my term to define his slightly strange demeanor, a mixture of friendly and kind, but also a strong sense of distancing, made my heart flutter. "Alright, Lei. Greetings. I live in the house across from that." Ah, so he's the new neighbor. I nodded without leaving my smile. For a local, my friendliness was terrifying. There aren't many people who would carelessly smile at a stranger.
