The Novel Neighbor Novels & Stories

And why did it feel like she’d just brushed against something dangerous enough to destroy her? She unlocked her apartment with trembling fingers and stepped inside, leaning back against the door once it shut. Her chest rose and fell too fast as she tried to steady herself. This was ridiculous. He was just a neighbor. A rich, arrogant neighbor with an unsettling presence. Nothing more. Yet, even as she told herself that, she couldn’t shake the feeling that she had already been noticed in a way she couldn’t undo. Next door, Caeldrin Blackwood stood in silence as the door clicked shut behind him.

I breathed, maybe a little too loud, because he heard me. His head tilted slightly in curiosity. "Oh, hey. You must be new to 5A?" "No, no, just visiting," Dad answered, patting my shoulder. "But my daughter will be working for the Walkers." Archie grinned. "Guess that makes us neighbors, then. I live next door." "Great," I squeaked, my voice way too high-pitched.

MY PREGNANT NEIGHBOR Written by Sylvia Adaobi Peter ⚠️❌DO NOT COPY OR REPOST ⚠️❌ Episode 12 "How did you know I was here by the way?" Denise asked with a smile. "I went to your new apartment, met with someone who told me where you are." "Who?" "A grumpy girl. She asked me to take you away." Miley said and laughed. "Who is she? Your neighbor?" Denise rolled her eyes. "Not really. She's a friend to my neighbor who brought me here."

I turned the page I was reading and put the book on my desk. There was an unusual movement in the house next door because a new family was moving. Before leaving for college in the morning, I caught a glimpse of a moving truck that had brought their furniture, but apparently they had already finished moving their things. I was curious to know who my new neighbors were, but I assumed that in due course I would meet them. I closed the front door of my house and went to a cafeteria that was around the corner.

we said at the same time,we finally looked up at each other. Oh, no, it’s the guy next door, he’s attending this college? 😍 Alexander’s P.o.v😍 I looked up at the person i bumped and it was my neighbor but she had a different color of eyes. “Why are you starring at me like that?” She asked as she packed her books. I tried to help her but she smacked my hand off. “Am just trying to help you” “I don’t need your help, it’s bad enough that you are blind” She said and stood up.

For once, neither of us rushed inside. “Goodnight, jealous neighbour,” he said. I narrowed my eyes. “Goodnight, delusional neighbour.” He smiled and disappeared into his apartment. I went into mine and shut the door. Three seconds later, there were three knocks against the wall. Knock. Knock. Knock. I stared at it. Then smiled despite myself. And knocked three times back.

I wondered. I walked slowly towards the window with my arms wrapped around me. I grabbed the window handles to pull them back to close it but I stopped midway when I noticed the lights next door. Who could that be? The house beside us was empty for over a year. I squinted and could actually see the inside of the room through the window adjoining mine. Like seriously, I could strangle the guy who constructed these houses like that. So damn close! Anyway, we finally got some new neighbours. What an odd time to move in though, I couldn't help but think. I just hope they would be nice. My parents could have some pals.

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 might want to go say hi.”

“Nope, he might even cook us one of his fabulous delicacies since he’s a chef. “Carly giggled mocking her sister.” “Thanks, grandpa and aunt Carly, I’ll tell him after I return from school tomorrow.” Neil excited and ran to his room. Carly cleared her throat “Jack will be here tomorrow, that’s why I invited our new neighbor.” “I see, they will get along well since they’re men after all, I would love some company too.” Mr. Trevor added and they went to their rooms leaving Celeste at the dining table.
