Does My Neighbor Like Me Novels & Stories

He pulled me into a hug. Kissed my cheek. “You okay?” he asked. I nodded against his chest. “Better now.” We unpacked breakfast—coffee, pastries, fruit cups, the kind of simple food that felt like luxury when someone brought it for you. We sat on the couch. Then Noah looked at me. Serious again. “I met your neighbor downstairs,” he said. “David. He doesn’t seem to like me here.” I frowned. “David? He’s… reserved. Don’t mind him. He’s nice. He’s never been anything but kind.”

she screamed, as if she had been expecting me. I was caught completely off guard. “Do… do you know me?” I asked carefully. She laughed lightly, as if the question made no sense. “Of course I do. We were neighbors before you and your husband moved away. I didn’t know you were back.” Neighbors. The word settled in my mind. I nodded slowly, choosing not to push further. I needed her help first and I didn't want to chase her away. “I actually need a small favor,” I said.

Like strangers who weren’t really strangers. When we reached my door, I turned to him, unsure what to say. He beat me to it. “Sorry for stealing your snack. I was… being an asshole.” I laughed softly. “I was kind of being a major diva about it. I mean it's just granola” He pointed to the door next to mine. “That one’s me.” My eyebrows lifted. “You’re my neighbor?” He nodded. “Guess so.” There was a beat. Not awkward. Just… loaded.

The fastest he could think of. “Can I help you?” His voice was strained and glaringly unfriendly. The neighbor seemed…baffled. Slightly. “Uh, well like I said earlier, I’m the new neighbor.” He cleared his throat. “And I’m sorry to bother you—because it clearly looks like it— but I was curious about one thing.” Theo cocked his brow, silently urging him on. “So, I was wondering if you have some kind of hearing loss or something?” It was Theo’s turn to be baffled. “What?”

"Well, I suppose I should head over to that massive manor across the street and officially introduce myself as their new neighbor." "Of course, of course. Don't let my silly neighborhood gossip about the Blackthorns intimidate you or color your perception of them. I'm sure they're perfectly lovely people once you take the time to actually get to know them." I smiled. "Thank you again for hosting me so graciously today, Minnie. I'm truly delighted that my new neighbor is such a sweet, lovely woman compared to the miserable old crone who lived next door to me in my previous apartment building."

Aside from my physical condition, how would I ever explain the mental mess I was in? “I didn’t want to bother you… It wasn’t that big of a deal anyway…” I tried to downplay the matter. He was still staring at me with his filled with honest concern eyes for a while, then he sighed. “Well, at least you had someone by your side. You must be grateful for all her help…” “Her?” “Your neighbor, you said she brought you things…” Ah… ha, ha, ha… yes… I’m really grateful…to her” though I probably shouldn’t say that the neighbor was a HE.

I don’t intend to follow Miracle's advice and be friends with them because of how I was intimidated by Rajiv the first day. But I can see that they are all nice so I am looking forward to a good relationship with my new neighbors.

Anna's pov The man wasn't happy with my words as he clenched his fists. I would recognise him anywhere. It was that man that pushed me. I think he moved to our neighborhood recently but he was rude and my neighbors ain't rude. They were always nice and friendly and even called out to me if I didn't see them. How can you see someone walking along the way to see you and you expect them to see you and greet you at your doorsteps? Tsk!

Latika said and Ria nodded. I smiled at them and started talking about how I spent my weekend. I didn’t do much except spending it with Ri and Di. And in the middle I just kind of looked at him. I am starting to feel myself as some stalker or something. I still didn’t tell both of them that he is my neighbor too because they may think really bad of me. But after one month of this close friendship I don’t think I can hide it anymore. So I closed my eyes and said “He is my neighbor!”

“I think they’d appreciate that. Thanks, Esme.” “What are neighbors for?”
