Neighbors Daughter Novels & Stories

My best friend insisted I get a professional to check the entire place for spy cameras, so I did. Finally, my life resumed normal once more. I started looking for a new lady roommate. This time, I was much more cautious than before. I no longer want another creepy roommate. Late at night, when all was quiet next door, I finally had the night to myself. "That idiot. If he were to watch the video earlier, he would have realized I'm not a woman." Yes. Yours truly, a man.

The kids couldn’t hide their excitement and Karl knew them too well to miss it. I smiled listening to them converse with Karl. “We’re having a playdate today,” they chorused again. “Well isn’t that fun. Who are these friends of yours?” “Her name is Natalia. She’s Uncle Lennox’s daughter,” Jayden said. “Your niece!”, Braden added. The line went silent for a while. I hadn’t thought of what Karl would think about it. I assumed he would be okay with it since he wanted the boys to have a friend too. So I didn’t actually tell him about it.

She probes. "We kissed," I confess. I continue. "But, I am so scared. Sarah will be so angry with me. What if she finds out?" "Why do you even care?" She questions. "Because she is my sister, and I am messing around with her best friend,” I answer. “Someone I am not even supposed to look at twice, let alone do anything else with.” "Aiden is not your cousin or brother, he is just your sister's best friend," She tells me.

He was observant enough to notice something funny about me. “Birthday yesterday? You mean Nex? Single mom with different-colored eyes?” I became puzzled by the question asked. “You know Nex?” “We’re neighbors. Right next door to each other,” he answered. “If she has a friend like you with her, I guess it will help make things easy on her.” “What do you mean by that?”

I shouldn’t be in here alone. Jona is a good and hardworking niece. She felt like something was missing in her heart from when she was young. She avoided getting close to people and never had a romantic partner, but everything changed when she discovered she wasn’t actually related to her aunt who she had thought was her family.

He still saw me that way. Like a little sister. Just like Millicent. The thought settled in my chest like something heavy. Millicent was his cousin, but Mick had always treated her like a younger sister teasing her, protecting her, looking out for her without ever being asked. And me? I was Millicent's best friend. I had simply been included in that same category, without question or discussion. It felt safe. Familiar. Warm in a way that I was grateful for. But it also hurt in a way I had never found the words for.

"Helpful, is she?" "Exceedingly," Danielle said, waving a hand dismissively. "Though she is quite stiff. I suppose that is what happens when you spend your life buried deep in work." Conrad leaned back, his eyes tracking the way Danielle’s pulse fluttered in her neck. "Tell me, Danielle. I have been curious. What exactly is your relationship with Nadia? You seem to have a very specific rapport with her." Danielle froze for a fraction of a second before her smile returned, albeit slightly strained. "Oh, didn't I mention? Nadia is my cousin. A distant one, of course."

Her expression was innocent and pleading, as if she was begging for mercy. Her right hand, adorned with a sparkling diamond ring, drifted toward her rounded belly. A flicker of alarm and tenderness passed through Julian’s eyes before he composed himself. “I do know Ivy. She’s a junior employee at my company. We’ve crossed paths a few times. “I didn’t think she was important enough to mention, and I didn’t want you to overthink things. So I just treated her like a neighbor I barely knew. Clara, be good. Don’t jump to conclusions.”

"No, you're not." "Yes, I am." "Jane, we don't share parents. We don't share blood. We don't share DNA." "So?" "So that means you're not my sister!" "That's not what sister means." "What does sister mean then?" "Sister means the person who grew up with you. Sister means the person who knows all your secrets. Sister means the person who would do anything for you." "Would you do anything for me?" "Yes." "Then where were you when Dad died?"

V I don’t know why he's mean mugging my besties. But he won’t let me go at all. We have been connected at the hip. Since I agreed to be his girlfriend. But these are best friends. And I don’t appreciate him keeping me from them! I introduce them to him. “Manny these are my besties. Sondra, she does my hair. This is Shontayvia, my next door neighbor and partner in crime. And this is Kevin, he’s like my little brother. That’s his girlfriend, Tina, over there.”
