Hey guys! Back again with another chapter for my lovelies. This bit will focus on the neighborhood watch meeting that was mentioned in my last chapter. And yes, our newbie Anna will make a larger than large appearance and she will her moments with besties Josh and Sally as well as her budding romantic romantic interest Aidan (you know I can't deny you guys that!).

Have at it. I own nothing.

...

Aidan let out a sigh of impatience while he leaned against the archway that led to the kitchen, looking out into the sea of people that had invaded his home. Although this neighborhood watch thing was initially his idea, it had gotten very old very fast. Sure, he wasn't gonna lie, he had enjoyed it a bit the first time around; the normal swarms of neighbors treating him like a normal person he so desperately wanted to be. Being a part of things.

But, right now. Right at this very second, watching out for new dangers like the latest taggers or goddamn vandals was the last thing on his mind.

No. The only thoughts that had occupied his mind were of a certain brunette who had yet to show up an hour after she was supposed to.

Maybe... maybe she changed her mind.

Maybe she doesn't want to-

He shook his head to clear that thought from his head. She was coming. She had to. She told Josh she would show when their invitation was extended.

He had been so pre-occupied with his thoughts that he was almost jolted out of his skin when Sally misted in front of him. "Hi!"

Turning to head into the kitchen, so as to not look like a crazy person, he muttered, "Jesus. Don't do that."

The peppier tha nusual ghost walked over to step in front of him. "Jeez. Relax, Aidan. I just wanted to tell you-"

"Whatever it is, can it wait? I have my mind on other things." He leaned against a counter, pinching the bridge of his nose.

She glared a little at him before supplying. "May I have a guess that it's about a small, blue-eyed brunette wonder who just walked through our door?" She questioned smartly as she looked over his shoulder.

He followed her gaze and saw the object of his affection being helped out of her jacket by Josh, while sending a small wave towards the kitchen, no doubt at him and Sally.

Anna looked stunning. She wore a simple, cream blouse that accentuated her every curve and hip-hugging jeans. Her hair hung loose over her shoulders appealingly and framed her beautiful face.

He could feel his whole body tighten and stand at attention at the sight of her.

He turned to Sally who was smiling widely at him. "That's what I was going to tell you about. She was picking out an outfit when I showed up at her place earlier. She was freaking out a little actually." Nodding to herself, she went on. "I'm almost jealous. Your new girlfriend can pull off a pair of good jeans."

"She's not my-"

"Yeah. Okay. Right." Sally rolled her eyes before disappearing.

...

"What the hell took you so long? I'm almost bored to tears here." Josh whispered as he hugged his best friend tightly. Way too tightly.

It felt great to be so loved but, Anna was starting to have trouble breathing and she made sure to say so.

"Josh... Josh. Your taking my oxygen."

He loosened his grip slightly but, didn't let her go. "Sorry. I'm just glad your here." She smiled as she layed her head on his strong shoulder. "That and Aidan has making me batshit crazy on whether or not you were gonna show up."

He pulled away finally and looked at her with wide eyes. "Don't tell him I said that. I'm not in the mood to see black eyes and fangs so soon in the evening."

She smirked and rolled her eyes. "Don't worry. I won't say anything."

Sally appeared next to Josh's shoulder and Anna fought back a laugh at his start. "Jesus! Do not do that, Sally!" He said in a harsh whisper, making sure no one heard him.

The spirit rolled her eyes. "Calm down, princess. I just wanted to warn our freshly arrived houseguest that a certain member of the undead wishes to see her."

Anna couldn't help an eyeroll of her own. "Unelievable. He sent you here to get me?"

"Uh, no... not really. But, I'm just suggesting you get a move on because he looks like he's about to have a conniption fit."

Anna moved past her friends to head over to the man waiting on her so eagerly.

...

"Thinking about me?"

Anna bit back a grin as Aidan turned his head from looking at his feet to look at her.

"Most definitely."

His answer made her smile brightly.
