A/N: I only own the OC
I hope that you enjoy my newest story.
I was looking for a second start after my divorce. I needed a change and I knew that things were going to start looking up. I sighed as I looked around at the boxes and other things that were in my new house. I had decided to buy a house outside of Tampa away from where I used to live with my ex-wife. I wanted a new area and a new start.
I walked into my kitchen and looked at what I could possibly cook right now, which was very limited, since I hadn't actually bought any groceries. I found cereal and went to the refrigerator to find water, beer, and Gatorade. I sighed and contemplated going to the store, but I really didn't want to have to do that right now.
I looked over and saw a car in my neighbors driveway. I finally worked up enough nerves and hunger to walk over there and ask for milk. I knew that they might recognize me, but I was hungry. I didn't really care, plus I was living next to this person now, so I could at least be friendly.
I walked up and knocked on the door. I waited and was surprised to see a woman open the door. She was shorter than me, had curly brown hair, and was dressed in a tank top and running capris.
"Hi." She said in a cheery voice.
"Hi… I'm your new neighbor and I was wondering if I could borrow some milk?" I asked her and she smiled.
"Sure, but it will cost you." She said and I was unsire what she meant.
"Ok?" I asked her.
"Just your name… I'm Constance." She said and I smiled.
"I'm Matt (Evan Bourne)." I said and she smiled.
"Nice to meet you. Come in." she said and moved to the side.
I looked around and her house was nicely decorated in a bold theme. She had an amazing green living room, but the best part was the smell. She was cooking something amazing.
"What are you cooking?" she asked me.
"Huh?" I asked her as I turned me attention back to her. She smiled as I looked at her.
"What are you cooking with the milk?" she asked me and I scratched the back of my neck.
"Cereal." I admitted and she scrunched up her nose.
"How about you stay and eat with me? I have plenty." She said and I smiled.
"I can't impose." I said and she nodded.
"You aren't… it's a welcome to the neighborhood kind of thing." She said and I laughed at her justification.
"Fine, but at least let me go get a bottle of wine for us?" I asked her and she nodded.
"If you want to, but you don't have to." She said and I smiled.
"It's the least. I will be right back." I said and she nodded.
I ran to my house and found a strawberry wine that Phil had been making fun of me for having. I grabbed it and checked my reflection in the mirror before running back to her house.
I knocked and heard an 'It's open!'. I walked in and she poked her head out from the kitchen I had been in earlier.
"I found it." I said and held it up. She smiled and nodded for me to follow her.
"I hope you don't mind, but I want to eat outside." She said and I nodded.
"Sounds great." I said and she smiled.
I walked out there and found a plate of some type of pasta sitting with two settings on a small tile table. She put some wine glasses down and I opened it.
"Thanks again." I said as I sat down.
"I just hope that you enjoy it." She said.
We sat down and ate; she was an amazing cook.
"So what do you do?" I asked her.
"Promise not to laugh?" she asked me and I nodded. I knew that she would laugh at me anyways.
"I'm an event planner and have my own company." She said and I was shocked.
"That's awesome." I said and she smiled.
"What do you do?" she asked me and I sighed.
"I'm a professional wrestler." I said as I looked down. I was waiting for her to laugh, but I looked up when I didn't hear anything.
"That's cool." She said and I smiled.
"Really?" I asked her.
"I can't make fun to anyone's dream." She said and I smiled.
We sat and talked for a long time.
"I guess I should let you get to bed since you have to work tomorrow." I said and she smiled.
"Perks of owning the company… I don't." she said with a laugh.
"Well, then I am having a cookout tomorrow… you want to come?" I asked her and she smiled.
"I would like to." She said and I smiled.
"I will come over and get you then." I said and she smiled.
I walked back to my house and sighed. I at least had one good thing around me so far, so maybe things really were looking up. I just couldn't wait for tomorrow.
