{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}

{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]}

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}

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.}

{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}
