The Novel Neighbor Novels & Stories

Restless and unfulfilled, I grabbed my smokes and a lighter and headed out to the stairwell for a puff. Just as my hand touched the door to the stairwell, I heard a faint, frantic moaning. At first, I thought it was just a cat in heat. Then, a familiar scent hit me. It was a perfume that immediately made me think of my charming neighbor from next door, Demi Wilson. Every time I ran into her, that sweet, intoxicating scent always arrived first. Then came the flash of a red slip dress or perhaps a bodycon dress, with a neckline plunging incredibly low.

“Here. Eat before Mom starts forcing seconds on everyone.” “Thanks.” I took a bite. Juicy, smoky, perfect. Mom appeared next to us, wiping her hands on a dish towel. “Bella, come meet the new neighbors. They just moved in down the street.” I followed her to a nice couple in their forties. We chatted about the neighborhood, schools, how rainy Seattle winters really were. Polite stuff. Easy. The whole time, though, my eyes kept drifting. Scanning the yard. Looking for one person.

"We have new neighbors" Her words threw excitement in our entire house that's because after six years someone finally moved into that haunted house! Yes, the house across the street is famous for being haunted and this rumor made everyone abandon that house! Julia rushed to me and shouted with joy "Let's go welcome them" as her loud voice reached our ears, we all went outside in the rain holding the umbrella just to see our neighbor, we were waiting to take one glimpse of our neighbours.

"You are never going to tell me about the neighbor nextdoor, right? Don't think I don't have my eyes on you, kid." Believe me I didn't see that coming. I felt warmness creep up my cheeks as it always did whenever thought of Emem crossed my mind. Noticing the intent gaze my mother was giving me, I covered it up. "By the neighbor nextdoor you mean the slim dark girl?" I pretended not to understand, "what happened to her and why should I tell you about her? She's your neighbor too. You could just walk up there and do the enquiries." "Don't act like you have no idea what I'm talking about." She said.

I keep my plan to keep my hands off her long enough to return to my apartment. We take a moment outside the front door as I find it difficult to get the keys out of my pocket before pressing myself against her back and kissing the nape of her neck. The soft scent of her perfume fills my senses, and all I can think about is removing her clothes. "Are we going inside or are we going to put on a show for your neighbors?" " she inquires.

“Did I embarrass myself in front of Isaac? I never thought I will be having a hot neighbor like him”. I hope he didn’t think that he has a weird neighbor. I went back to my bed and tried to fall asleep again but unfortunately, I couldn’t my mind was active but my body was lazy.

Standing in front of Shirley was not the group of people who delivered candy earlier but the middle-aged man who had just asked for directions. "Oh, I'm sorry, did I intrude?" the neighbor next door said awkwardly. "I'm really sorry! I just moved in this morning and there are some things I'm still not sure about, so I wanted to ask." Shirley felt even more embarrassed. At this moment, Anna walked out of the room. "Shirley, who's here?" Hearing her mother's voice, Shirley felt relieved and turned to answer her mother, "Mom, it's the neighbor! Just moved in this morning!"

SHAYLE Oh my god. He actually recognized me. The shock hit me as I blinked at him, heat crawling up my neck, and for a moment my tongue glued itself to the roof of my mouth. “Uh… I’m your neighbor,” I stammered out, clearing my throat way too late. “Next door.”

Ruby watched the numbers light up one by one. Eight. Nine. She swallowed hard. Ten. When the doors opened, music hit them. Loud, pulsing, rhythmic. Not rude, not angry—just… wild. The hallway lights flickered red and gold compared to the calmer lights downstairs. Ruby stepped out carefully, clutching her backpack.
