The Boy Next Door- Chapter 2

Okay, I promised you an update by the weekend, so here it is! I just want to thank you all for reading this, and also for the follows, favourites and reviews, it means a lot! I'm sure that you want to get started as soon as I do, so I'll make this short, okay… GO!

BPOV:

The plane journey was long. That's all I have to describe it. The films didn't really interest me and there is only so many times you can watch the same episode of Friends before you're reciting the lines along with the cast. I tried to sleep, but that clearly wasn't happening; what with the old lady snoring next to me; the 3-year-old behind me playing the drums on my chair and my brain refusing to stop thinking about my new neighbours.

Once we had landed, then gone through the gruelling inspection that was airport security, and collected our luggage, we were allowed to leave along with our parents. I looked around and found my dad easily, being that he is taller than most people. Therefore, I was surprised to find that stood next to him was a person that seemed to resemble nothing other than a brick wall- he was HUGE! He was tall, at least 6'7", with short (and seemingly curly) dark hair, lots of muscle and a massive grin on his face, that was directed at me. Had I seen correctly? Was this stranger smiling at me? As I got closer, I saw that my mum and dad were joined by 5 other people.

The first was the big friendly giant; as I had now decided he would be called until I knew his name, the second was another male; he was tall, though not as tall as the BFG, with blond hair and a fairly muscular figure. The third and fourth we two girls; the first was small, almost pixie-like, with short black spiky hair and yet another huge grin plastered on her face. The second girl was taller, maybe 5'10", with long flowing blonde hair, my self-esteem instantly took a knock when I looked at her. Now that I thought about it, they were all extremely beautiful, but they all looked pale in comparison when I looked at the fifth and final person.

He was yet again tall and muscular, like the other males, with gorgeous bronze hair, with some golden blonde highlights that seemed to shine even in the light from inside; I couldn't imagine what they would look like in the sunlight. His face was also beautiful, enough that I thought he might be a model, although somehow he seemed as though he would be modest about his looks, so maybe not. When I gazed into his eyes I was lost, they were a piercing green, could eyes even be that green? As I ogled him, he looked over at me, and a small half smile stretched across his features, which made him even more stunning. I knew instantly that I loved that smile, and wanted it to be reserved for me; I didn't want to share it.

I reached them, and my mother grabbed me up into a powerful embrace. I hugged her back, glad to see her, she still said nothing. She passed me to my dad, who also hugged me.

"We missed you kid." He said kindly.

"I missed you too, I had a great time!" I replied.

I glanced at our five guests, who until now had been silently watching our exchange, and then looked at my mum expectantly. She looked back, with a mischievous smile.

"Bella, I want to introduce you to our new neighbours. Their parents are at work today, so couldn't come, but they just couldn't wait to meet you, so I said that they could come along and meet you here." She said, beginning to ramble on. I nodded, letting her continue, and eager to find out the name of this glorious boy, wondering if it did him justice.

"This is Emmett and Jasper," she said gesturing to the first two boys. I now knew that the name of the BFG was 'Emmett', so decided I would refer to him by his real name now, although I quite liked calling him the BFG.

"Alice," she said, pointing to the little pixie-like girl.

"And Rosalie" she continued, pointing to the other girl, the blonde one. I nodded, waiting for her to reveal the name of the last boy, my decided favourite.

"And last but certainly not least," she said smiling a little to herself.

"Edward."

Edward. I liked that. It definitely did him justice. Unique. Not often heard of. It seemed to fit him nicely. But before I could give it any more thought I got a small nudge from my mother, reminding me that I was yet to introduce myself.

"Um… Hi. I'm Bella. It's nice to meet you all." I said, smiling at each of them. The big one, Emmett, stepped towards me, and I expected him to shake my hand, but I was very wrong. He grabbed hold of me around the middle and span me round, capturing me in a big bear hug. He placed me back on the floor and I stumbled a little, before falling forward. Used to my clumsiness, I prepared myself for hitting the floor; but before that a set of strong arms enclosed me, putting me back on my feet. I looked up to see bright green eyes looking down at me worryingly.

"Are you okay?" he asked.

"Um, yeah." I replied, slightly dazed. I looked down to see that his hands were still on my hips. He looked down when I did, and seemed to notice too; letting me go and stepping away awkwardly. I saw Alice and my mum exchange a knowing look, and briefly wondered what that was about. However, this wonder was quickly replaced by the burning sensation that was on my hips, right where Edwards hands had been. When I looked at him I saw that he was looking down at his hands as if he had the same feeling.

I then looked around to see a smirking Emmett and everyone else staring at me. Luckily, my mum saved me from this uncomfortable moment.

"Right, well I think we'd all better head back and continue this at home." She said smiling. I threw her a grateful glance and we all left, walking towards the door.

I was glad to be home.

Okay, well that's it for this chapter. I can't believe I wrote over a thousand words! Please review, it really spurs me on to write more. I will definitely have an update by next weekend; maybe even another this weekend, depending on my mood!

Lots of love,
