Hello – Lionel Richie

A/N: This one is going to be a good bit shorter than what you have come to expect from me, so I'm sorry for that, but it is how it comes...so idk.

Enjoy!

I walked through the grass in the park, trying to make the eye I kept on my little pixie look as conspicuous as possible. She had come out of her apartment about the same time as I had come from mine.

"Hello, Alice." I said politely – unable to be silent so I would not appear unthoughtful.

Her answering blush was more of a response than any words could be. I smiled gently and waited for her to move down the hallway so that I could get on with my day...following her, watching her, fantasizing about her, learning everything that made Alice Brandon.

We had been neighbors ever since freshman year and still remained unable to carry on a conversation longer than a few sentences. Her shy beauty astounds me. Even when asked a specific question that should require several minutes worth of talking, she was able to sum it up in a few short, quiet words. And then she would be gone.

The first time I followed her, we had only lived in this building for a few weeks into our sophomore year. She had been driving me crazy – always lingering in the halls when I would happen into them while she was there. Sometimes she would end up going to the library at the same time I did and she would walk behind me a few yards, never speaking, never making contact.

After that, I always made sure I was the one leaving last. I followed her to the coin operated laundry. We stayed there for hours, passing nervous looks and shy blushes.

I waited for her to approach me, to make some kind of move, but she never did. It was beyond frustrating. I never knew what to do. I had heard her talking through the paper thin walls before, obviously on the phone with a friend of hers, "Bella, you know how I am! I can't just wait for a guy to make a move on me! I want to always be the one that is in control of contact. If I don't want to be bothered by a guy, I shouldn't have to worry about him coming up to me. You know that it's just the way it is! Tell me, Bella! How many guys have I ever went out with who approached me first? None, that's right." After that, her voice faded, along with my hopes.

It didn't stop my dreams though. Alice was there in every dream...sometimes she was there just to talk, sometimes she wasn't.

Thus began my obsession.

I followed her like a puppy dog. Thankfully, hacking into the school's computer system was not that difficult. I changed our schedules to reflect each other. It made things so much easier when we were both in each of our classes. I never had to worry about missing out on any part of her daily goings on...except for what happened once her door closed for the last time each night.

I had no idea what went on then...although I was sometimes given little hints when she was too loud in the next apartment over.

She had brought a male friend over a little over 8 months ago. I knew undoubtedly, that I was in the process of a slow stroke the longer my night went on and I never heard the door – never heard him leave.

That was the first time I ever heard anything remotely inappropriate come from her room. I had been sitting on the arm of the couch that stood at the wall where our apartments were connected, thinking about what they were doing in there. He had to have still been there because like I said earlier, I never heard him leave.

I was becoming more and more angry from the detour my thoughts had taken. I could see him pinning her against the bed, the light from her beside lamp illuminating her hair and then her body.

I paced angrily, so sure he was fucking her, that I could almost hear her panting.

I stopped in my tracks, pressing my body up against the wall, trying desperately to hear anything that I could.

Finally, I found a thin spot between the sheet rock and I know my heart stopped.

"Ooooh! Mmmmm, yes..." she moaned loudly. From as loud as her voice was, I knew she was in the same spot against her wall that I was.

Embarrassment flooded my body quickly before the anger returned.

HOW DARE SHE? How dare she let him fuck her against the wall that stood in between us! It was sacrilege, it was heaven.

"Mmmm, Edward..." her voice broke into my purgatory, "Yes, Edward. Please make love to me."

Her voice was begging, my body was aching to go answer her call.

Goddammit Edward! I chided myself quietly, you act like you're the only moron on the face of the earth with the name Edward! I happen to know that it is still one of the most popular names of all time.

Sadly, I would take what I could get.

That night, I started my nightly fantasies which would leave me naked, spent and in desperate need of a moment to clean my wall.

As time wore on, I caught her getting off on our wall several times – each time more intense.

Each morning after, I would catch her eyes as she entered the hallway...privy to the glow on her face that made her look ethereal. I would live for those mornings. Her glances and smiles would last longer than normal...and they would stop all space and time for me.

We were still no closer than we were before to having meaningful conversations, but I'm certain she knew that I knew.

That brings me back to this moment in time – right now.

I circled the park, pretending to enjoy the cooler fall air and the soft green grass under my bare feet.

As I would get closer, I would see her eyes dart to mine for a moment before she would close hers again.

So she wants to play this way?

I made the circuit once more, finally stopping behind the tree directly behind where Alice was laying in the grass.

I stood there for long moments, peering around the tree at an oblivious Alice.

Suddenly, all my hard work paid off, she rolled her head around a few times on her shoulders before lazily opening her eyes, expecting to see me somewhere in her periphery. I couldn't help the smug feeling as a slow panic took her over. She obviously wasn't seeing what she was expecting.

The park was mostly empty, a few of snoozing grad students under trees and spread out across the grass.

I stepped quietly from behind the tree, gazing on this beauty that was reminiscent of a startled deer.

"Hello, Alice..." I said, my voice husky and deep, "Is it me you're looking for?"

I saw her visibly relax before she responded. "Hmm," she hummed, "You should know the answer to that Edward. You've only been following me around for three years. I've been wondering what has kept you from me for so long...I know you've heard me at night. I know this because I hear you...at night. When you're thinking of me? It's my name that you call as you abuse yourself."

Her hand was playing with the small bit of exposed skin of her midriff, her fingers made a slow circuit across the flesh, making me twitch in my pants and close the distance between us.

"You think highly of yourself, woman," I said giving her my hundred watt, panty melting smile, "How do you figure it is you I'm thinking of? I could have issues with my self image...I could get off on the idea of me getting off."

I smirked at her but continued my approach to her, unable to leave even a small space between our bodies.

The kiss was fire and sex and explosions. It was smoldering and hot. It froze me to my soul. It was nothing...it was everything.

I stood back from the bluest eyes I had ever seen.

"Well," she said politely, "Come on home..."

A/N: Like I said, a lot shorter...but que sera, sera. I hope it was enjoyable, nonetheless. I always love a good Stalkerward...or even better – an Obsessiveward. Obsessiveward is hot.

*snaps out of it*

Sorry...was I drooling? Lol, on to the creation of the next.

Hello – Lionel Richie

I've been alone with you inside my mind
And in my dreams I've kissed your lips a thousand times
I sometimes see you pass outside my door
Hello, is it me you're looking for?

I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your smile
You're all I've ever wanted, (and) my arms are open wide
'Cause you know just what to say
And you know just what to do
And I want to tell you so much, I love you ...

I long to see the sunlight in your hair
And tell you time and time again how much I care
Sometimes I feel my heart will overflow
Hello, I've just got to let you know

'Cause I wonder where you are
And I wonder what you do
Are you somewhere feeling lonely, or is someone loving you?
Tell me how to win your heart
For I haven't got a clue
But let me start by saying, I love you ...
