New Neighbor Novels & Stories

Good friends and neighbors get a lot more neighborly. Enjoy.. ****** Shortly after they were married, Lori and Dave moved into a new suburban housing development where they purchased a two-story four-bedroom home. It was the perfect place to start their new life together and to raise a family. Several months later, another young couple, Rosa and Carlos purchased the house next door and the two couples quickly became friends. Lori and Rosa got pregnant a couple of months apart with their first child and shared the joys and tribulations of motherhood. It was also nice to know that their children would probably become best friends too.

I just wore an oversized white hoodie and leggings. I got the cake that Damian gave me and cut a big piece for my neighbor. Then, I got out my apartment and knocked next door. The door opened and an old woman opened the door along with a little girl hiding behind her. I smiled warmly at them and bowed with respect. "Good evening, maam. I'm the new tenant from next door. I finished moving in recently and I wanted to share this cake that I received from work for my first day. I hope we all get along" I said and offered the cake politely.

Its been a whole week of silence and I was ready to end it. “Are you the new neighbor?” said T.K who just returned from work. “Yes I am.” replied the new neighbor whose voice rang a bell. I looked up and our eyes met. I was puzzled and began shivering all over. I got up and ran all the way to the bar. I ran as fast as my legs could carry me. “Mother, Mother.” I was screaming while approaching the bar. She came out with a bottle of whisky, placed it on a customer’s table and stared at me in confusion. “Fetty what is it? Where are your younger ones? Hope all is well.” She said while shaking me all up. “They are all fine.” I said

My prison. If I return—no. Somehow, I can’t stomach the thought of returning after what he said. What he did. What if he bleeds out and…God. I shouldn’t care, but I know Jaxon. He’ll be distraught with me gone. He’ll hurt and when he finds me again, he’ll inflict more pain— Another honk and my neighbor peeks out the window of his sedan. “I have places to be at, Mrs. Hawke. If you would kindly move out of the way—"

The man’s forehead creased – but it didn’t even lessen his appeal. “I don’t eat something from a stranger.” He coldly replied. Leila couldn’t help but smile at him. “I’m your new neighbor. I’m Leila. Now, we’re not strangers anymore.” She swiftly introduced herself and pointed at her bungalow house before raising her hand for a handshake. The man just stared at her like he was trying to solve a puzzle. Then, his expression darkened. All of a sudden, Leila felt the hair at her nape stand up. Her smile turned sour as she put her hand down with her lips slightly pouted. But her optimistic side was getting out of her control. She instantly got one of the plastic c

They didn't sleep around or act crazy. When the neighbors found out what happened to me, they rallied together and organized a fundraiser for me. I didn't have to work three jobs anymore. I slowly learned that real safety didn't come from guns or locked doors. It came from people looking out for each other. In the new neighborhood, Draven made a lot of good friends. He grew brighter and more cheerful every day. The smile came back to his face. As he got better, so did I. What Rina did to us became a wake-up call, a reminder to always hold onto your values and not throw yourself into relationships with just anyone.

Aunt Vivian took a long sip of her water, then glanced over at me with that too-casual look that always meant she was about to say something she knew I wouldn’t like. “Oh, and speaking of scenic men,” she started, setting her glass down with a deliberate clink, “there’s a new neighbor next door. Just moved in yesterday. Tall, dark hair, the kind of smile that makes women drop their groceries.” Naomi’s head popped up instantly. “Wait—what? A new neighbor? You didn’t tell me!” Aunt Vivian smirked. “Because you were too busy drowning in perfume and hair dye, sweetheart. But yes, he’s… let’s just say easy on the eyes. Delilah, you m

ROSE: Yeah, they started moving in early this morning LOGAN: (rushed in) You guys won't believe... ROSE: Just admit you can't do without us ANYA: I thought you rushed out now ROSE: Now, he's rushing in (they both laugh) LOGAN: Ha ha ha... not funny but guess what I just found out. The new neighbours have two kids. A guy and a cute girl. The guy would probably be in college and the girl, probably the same age as me. ROSE: (shakes her head) Get dressed. Let's go out and celebrate our victory.

I greeted. "Hello. I'm Mrs Effiong, your new neighbour," she said cheerfully. I glanced over at their apartment and saw a young boy playing soccer in the yard. "We just moved in yesterday evening. My husband is currently at work. I hope we can be good neighbors," she introduced herself with a smile, as the little girl handed me a box of chocolates, bringing back memories of when Erica had first moved in.

I hadn't planned on meeting anyone today, least of all, a stranger at my door. "Hello neighbor, " she said, waving, her voice light and friendly. "I’m Lena, your neighbor. I stay just down the hall. I saw you move in just last week and thought I'd stop by to say hello and maybe introduce myself. I hope I’m not interrupting anything."
