{ Alexander's House }
ALEXANDER'S POV
{Yawns and checks the time}
I'm so tired ..... I need to go for a walk today {He ran his fingers through his hair}
{He had his bath, ate breakfast and stepped out for a morning walk}
AURORA'S POV
{She stretches herself, checks the time, and it's 7:09}
I really need to go running today {Yawns}
{She went to the bathroom}
Mum, I'm going to be out for some time. I'll be back before 9:00 { She shouted }
Okay sweetheart, when you're back you will help to deliver these cookies to our new neighbor {Emily said}
We have a new neighbor ? {She asks herself} Okay mum.
{She leaves the house in her sports wear}
{ After 30minutes }
ALEXANDER'S POV
{Walking} Hope I don't get missing {He said to himself}
{ Bike horns } Beep beep!!
{Alex looked forward and saw a tall, handsome guy. He was about to speak when he said}
Are you new here? I'm Charles {He stretched his hand for a handshake}
Yes i am, I'm Alexander {He responds to the greeting}
Do you need a ride? I live around though
If you don't mind, sure
I don't mind really, hop on {When Alex was on the bike he speeds off}
CHARLES'S POV
{When he got to the direction Alex showed him he stopped}
We live close,. I stay at the opposite {He points at the third house after Aurora's house.}
Okay, thanks bro for the ride {He smiled}
My pleasure, hope we meet again
Same here, hold on though {He goes inside and brings a can of soda {Cocacola]}
Take this as a “Thank You” gift {He gives Charles the drink}
You didn't have to, bro, thank man.
{He collected the drink and drove to his house. He sees Aurora running. She stops when she sees him}
Hey Charles, good morning {She smiles}
Hello Rora, How's your night ? {He smiles}
It was great. I hope yours was too.
Yes, need any help with your math assignment miss ? {He smirks}
Actually yes, why the smirk? {She gasps} You think I'm a dullard in math?
I didn't say so, miss Rora, you did yourself, by the way, you smile that way when you need a tutor {He teased her}
I never said I wanted your help, Mr, and besides, I didn't say I'm a dullard. Nevermind, I'll prove to you that I'm not {She said and ran to her house}
I'm waiting for the evidence {He shouted}
{ Emily's Housee }
AURORA'S POV
What does that punk think i am ? A dullard ? No no no he's crazy. I need to prove to him that I don't need his help in any of my assignments, especially mathematics {She says while removing her clothes.}
{She took a quick bath and went downstairs to have her breakfast}
Mum, I'm done. Where's the cookie ?
Check the breadbox sweetie {Emily said while downstairs}
{Aurora sees her mum dressed formally}
Mum, where are you doing ?
I need to deliver cookies to an event. It's a huge deal, so I shouldn't miss it. Take care love, and please don't make the boy freak out.
Is the new neighbor a guy ? {She asks her mum}
Yes dear, and if he wants to join us for dinner, he's welcome. I'll be off to work now, bye darling {She pecks her forehead and leaves}
I hope he doesn't {She said inwardly}
**************
AURORA'S POV
Breathe in and breathe out, aurora. You can do this {She encouraged herself.}
{Pressed the doorbell}
I am not expecting anyone{He thought} Who's that ? {He asks and looks at the door mortise}
What is she doing here ? {HE asked himself}
{ He opens the door }
Hello {Aurora said}
{She immediately recognized him} Are you .....
Aurora, do you live around here ? It's Alexander
Yes I do, oh yes Alex. {He looks at her hands and sees the box}
{She noticed he was looking at her hand} I came to give you this. It's actually cookies. My mum made them as a welcome gift for you {She said and cursed beneath}
Oh really, that's nice. Please send my appreciation and regards to her. Hold on, can i join you guys for dinner? I mean if your mum doesn't mind {He collected the box}
Ummm, actually she doesn't {She forced a smile}
Oh God, why, today of all days I even forgot what mum said. I have not tidied up the living room {She thought and bit
Her lower lips}
You sure about that {He asked, seeing she looked a little bit uneasy}
I'm sure, nice to meet you again Alex {She said and was about leaving}
{He steps forward and leans closer to her}
What are you doing ? {She asked nervously}
{He took a piece of feather from her hair and gave it to her}
Here, I'll be there by 7pm.
Oh, okay I'll see you then {She smiled nervously and left}
{He closes the door behind him. She let out a deep breath she didn't know she had been holding}
Strange {She said inwardly}
{ Emily's House }
{ By 6:50pm }
Mum, where's the table cover ? It's almost time, Mum.
It's inside the cupboard hunnie, I know. I just need to add the icing sugar to the cake I'm delivering tomorrow morning.
Okay mum, I'll be downstairs in a few minutes.
{After 5minutes she went downstairs to fix dinner, and also to wait for their guest}
{ 7:00pm }
{Door bell rings} I'll go get it mum. {Aurora opens the door and sees him dressed in a blue shirt that fits him properly and white trousers}
Welcome, please come in {She couldn't help but stare at him again.} Please sit and make yourself comfortable.
{She goes into the kitchen to get the jar of water}
His eyes are so beautiful, Oh God his lips are killing {She thought, as she remembers the way he looked at her}
Aurora! Our guest is waiting {She heard her mother say and snaps out of her thought}
I'm coming, mum. {She gets the water jar and leaves the kitchen.}
ALEXANDER'S POV
{He loos around the house} It's small but neatly arranged and cozy {He thought} Thanks again ma'am. I enjoyed the cookies {He smiled}
It's my pleasure dear {Emily, Aurora's mum said, staring at the handsome and well-behaved youngman. She smiled}
You look very good to be living in this type of place {Emily said}
