Novel & Cerita Should I Date My Neighbor

I am going on a date. To be continued...

He enquired. "Sure." I returned his smile. I sauntered towards him, sighed when I stood in front of him. "Should we eat dinner or something? I'm quite hungry." "We should go on a date." He winked. "Everyone's gonna stare at us, huh? They'd think we're the cutest couple in this locality."

I wondered how he would look shirtless. Don't you think about that, missy. Focus on your job and not men. Maybe we could just be friends. Or we could remain acquaintances. Whichever would be the best. I shrugged and headed for my apartment. I was about to unlock the door when I saw my neighbor coming out of his. About time. "Hi!" I shouted so he could hear. He purely waved back without a word. "Can I have a word with you?" I asked. "If you feel it's necessary." He spoke.

One hand on the wall and the other on my ass. I pull back for air and he kisses down my neck. "Jaxon. Uhm.. I think we should stop." I say and he looks at me confused. "What? Why? He asks and I close my eyes and lay my head against the wall. "I just think we're moving too fast. I'm sorry if I-" I say but he cuts me off. "Hey. I get it. I think we should get to know each other better also. You wanna go on a date with me?" He asks and I smile. I nod and he smiles kissing my lips softly.

This is no time to be a jackass. "That's a good idea. What if they both came to dinner at your apartment. We can have our first date some other night. You're right. They need to see each other right away. Then if they want nothing to do with each other after that, they can be with other people." Hazel pushes me down on the couch and stretches her whole body out on my chest. Our lips brush a little when she does, and my heart pounds. She puts her head on my chest and listens to the beat. Our lips touch again, and I close my eyes.

He pops his head in and smiles, "Got a minute?" Wishing that he didn't, I reluctantly reply, "Sure, I have a couple reports to type up, but I have a few minutes." He walks in and drags the chair around the desk, so he can sit right next to me. "I was hoping you might go out to dinner with me tonight?" Stunned, my mouth drops open a little. "Actually, I can't. I have a very needy dog and usually my neighbor watches her, but I told him I wouldn't be late tonight."

I stared at the chicken who looked like it hadn't been cooked well. Neil cut off his steak with a fork and knife then fed himself. And a thought came into my mind. Since he knows a lot of relationships and love advice, maybe I should ask him about my date with John? "Hey, I have a question." He continued chewing without glancing at me like he didn't hear me. "What should a woman do on a date?" Now his eyes glanced up to me, still chewing on his food. "Dressed appropriately. Fix your hair. Avoid talking negative stuff. And just enjoy." Then he continued eating his food.

"Alright. Don't worry, I'll be there before you know it, ok?" "Hmm... Why don't we make it a date, hmm? Maybe we should go out on a date tonight. I'll make a reservation at the restaurant," He said to me, and I smiled. "That would be a good idea, but what do you think about coming over to your house to make that instead? We could have the date in the garden. Something simple and romantic," I smiled as I rested my back on the wall. Having the scenario in my head felt so romantic.

Nat suggested. "Double date?"I and Drake questioned in unison. "Yeah I mean if it is alright with you guys. Can I bring Zita alongwith me and you and Drake could come?" I was feeling that she was upto something but I didn't question her. I silently watched my friend to know his reaction.After his unfortunate past he didn't date much. "Yeah sure why not."He grinned. "Great!Just text me whenever you people are ready." I nodded. "I should leave Etienne.I have some work to do."

He questioned. "I am not gay, okay? But if you want one, I will be yours." He spoke dirty and I scoffed. I knew he was joking. I knew he was my neighbor but I don't want to be friends with anyone at this time of the year. My entire life is upside down and I can't even get it fixed. "I just wanted to be friends okay?" He asked and sat on my couch. "Alright. Friends. Yes. But by tomorrow morning, when the cops are coming for me you should be ready with your stuff because we are going on a date." I told him.
