The Boy Next Door

A little later...

"Uhhhhh…" I intelligently mumbled, startled by the appearance of such a cute boy.

"Hi! I'm the new neighbor, I live in the blue house with white shingles right next to you." he paused slightly rubbing the back of his neck nervously, "and I was wondering if you would want some of my mom's "very blue blueberry pie"?"

I was so distracted by his appearance that I completely missed the fact that there was a basket sitting on my porch, probably the pie… well no shniz Sherlack. I very awkwardly fumbled around trying to gather the last shreds of my self dignity, because I turned bright red, like tomato level red when he offered the pie to me. Well what else was I supposed to do? He was so nice and the fact that he was here to give me, um I mean my family, a pie was just so sweet!

"Umm, do you want the pie?" he asked me hesitantly, flashing a pair of sparkling sea green eyes at me. Only then did I realize that it had been a good five minutes since he asked the question, and I had left him in the cold, on one of my favorite holidays. Nice.

9:30pm

Ok I've been trapped inside my little step-brothers pillow prison the gods they are so tired they won't notice me for a while! I thought I would have to be writing my will instead of what just happened! So after saying, well stuttering, that I would love the pie and that he should come in for cocoa, we finally got to talk a bit getting to know each other. I mean, ptf we're neighbors, it's not like I wanted to know about his life and would love to talk to him. His eyes were so mesmerizing, kind of like the tide, they could pull you in so deep that it would be hard and near impossible to stop, and swim away. And the fact that he was so easy to talk to, it seemed as if I knew him my whole life! Not to mention how my dad absolutely loved him, but my mom errr not so much. Any ways I was so sad when he needed to leave… oh well maybe I'll 'bump' into him tomorrow…
