WILLIAM'S POV

I HAD JUST finished making the noodles the twins requested for yesterday and had taken it up to them,they were so excited.

They are going to spend some weeks at my aunt's house so they wanted to eat it one last time before they left,because apparently my noodles were "bomb" their words not mine.

I am gonna miss them,they have never been away from home before i feel like a freaking parent sending his kids off to college.

I don't know why but i have been thinking about her, the new girl from next door,

I was finishing up with the dishes i had just used when my mom walked in i had a lot of questions and stuff i simply wanted to know about our new neighbor and my mom apparently had all the answers because she was the one who leased the house to them so i cleared my throat bracing myself for what i knew whas about to come "So, who uhm" She turned to me "Who is she?" I asked trying to sound nonchalant.

She cocked her head to the side clearly confused by my vague ass question "Who is Who?"she asked turning back to continue what she was doing in the fridge 

I cleared my throat again,i dont know why I'm so nervous all of a sudden, i shouldn't be i'm just inquiring about our new neighbors, no big deal but knowing my mom it probably is gonna be. "Uh..About the girl, uhm nextdoor " i asked, wiping the sink.

She pulled my arm to face her and the look on her face almost immediately made me regret asking her, she wore this obnoxiously huge grin on her face as she wiggled her eyebrows 

" No ,no way you need to stop" I told her unable to supress my laugh despite myself. 

"Stop… what?" she asked in between bouts of laughter.

"That,that thing you are doing with your eyebrows and the rest off your face,"

"I am not anything with my face" she tells me i must look really comical because she is now gasping for air laughing

She eventually straightens up turning to face me with a semi serious look "I'm sorry for my outlandish outburst my good sir what was it you wanted to know?"she asked jutting her chin up moving to grab a knife and a choping board for her apple.

" Ok, so i uh i was asking who is she, the new girl next door?" i finished wiping the already clean counter for the tenth time

"Oh, our new neigbour" she shrugs and i wait expecting her to expand on that ,when she doesn't i turn to her and she is slowly skinning her apple, oh i know she is enjoying every bit of this.

I let out an exasperated laugh crossing my arms infront of me " I am fully aware that she is our neighbor mom, i know that, its obvious" i walk to her side " i was asking who she is"

"Oh so thats what you were asking i i didn't-" she paused mid sentence the knife in her had stoping half way through a slice she looks up at me.

" Why are you so intrested in her anyways," she drops the knife turning to face me fully, i look away shrugging i open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out so I stand there looking like a fish taking in water.

I clear my throat because even i dont know why im so intrested in a random girl that i didnt even see clearly i only heard her voice, which sounded so smooth and confident "I was just-uhm i 

She chuckles tilting her head back to look at me, she gasps which makes me roll my eyes picking up a slice of apple and throwing it in my mouth because im already used to her overdramaticness it doesnt even surprise me anymore

She pauses looking at me dead in the eye a sly smirk playing on her lips "Wait you like her,dont you?" She says it more like a personal realization than an actual question 

I step back a little taken aback by her question "Oh my gosh what?" A laugh escaped me "I do not like her" i tell her putting air quotes around the like her , i literally just met the girl for Christ's sake geez mom"

"Ok" She raises her hands in mock surrender before grabbing her plate and exiting the kitchen.

It was the next day and i needed to clear my head so i threw on a random shirt a pair of running shorts grabbed my headphones and was jogging out of the house when i saw her i was wearing my glasses so i could see her clearer than the last time, so it felt like i was seeing her for the first time again, but now in higher definition.

And woah, my breath was caught in my throat as i found myself unable to look away,her hair was a mess of beautifully braided tangles on her head, she was sat crisscrossed on a chair of her balcony scribbling something in the book on her lap.

I couldn't bring myself to look away.

I was sucked in, i was stuck.
