Tyna Williams

He was my new neighbor and I hated him instantly. Some fall in love at first sight but for us, it was pure hatred at first sight. We should have stayed enemies forever but life was unpredictable. In the end, one kiss was it all it took to turn us into something more.
From then on, we could no longer tell what we were... Friends? Enemies? Friends with benefits? Enemies with benefits?
It was unclear but I could tell that something had changed because the player next door had become something more to me...

Rylie Myers never thought it would be possible to hate someone with every fibre of your body but meeting Blake Weston changed that.
Blake was Rylie's new next door neighbor and Rylie couldn't help but dislike him from the moment she saw him and the series of disastrous encounters that followed didn't help.
Their enmity was mutual and should've stayed that way... but one accidental kiss was all it took for everything to change.
And before they realized it, they were stuck with each other, forced to keep up a charade that involved them being something more than enemies.
The only question now is what happens when fake feelings start getting a little too real?

The Player Next Door

Just then, as though God finally decided to have pity on me, Blake's mom appeared at the door just in time to yell "What is going on here?!" 


I hurriedly pulled away from Blake who didn't seem to be that bothered. 


"We were... Uh, I was... just leaving. Bye!" I stammered, running out of the room, brushing past her as I did. 


My face was probably as red as a tomato but I didn't bother stopping until I got home. I didn't even say goodbye to Grandma Nellie. 


Once home, I rushed up the stairs to my room, locked the door and crashed into a heap on my bed. 


The only thing I could think was, "What just happened?" or more aptly put, "What almost happened?" 


Amazing how a little back massage can get a girl who claims to hate you, or at least used to, ready to get down with you.
