Neighbor

Being rejected by my ex-husband, and giving birth to my son, i decided to start a new fresh life away from him. So i traveled from New York to LA with my kid hoping i could forget my past. I bought a new ordinary house from the small amount of money i had earned from my tireless work. A house big enough for me and my son liam to live. The neighborhood was charming so i couldn't help but take a stroll in the yard to feel the calming breeze brush over me. I recalled something, pleasant one, but later awful. The vague memory of the happy moments of the past, tucked in the corner of my brain. Warm tear drops rolled down my soft cheek. I felt nostalgic and my heart started to collapse. I tried to forget. forget hard, but it did not work. The memory faded into a dark nightmare. "mommie?...are you alright?" liam noticed how quiet i was being. i quickly closed my eyes and let the final rays of the sun spray over my pale skin. It was overwhelming. All of a sudden, i heard someone. It was a deep voice. It was, voice of a man. "enjoying already?" he said resting his hands on the wooden fence bordering the two houses. His blue eyes sparkled as the sun set into the mountains. His muscular body was visible from the shirt. And he was good looking though he seemed he was in his late thirties. I knew he had taken a shower from just taking a glare at his fresh face and wet hair. "is it too soon to?" i asked trying to tease him. "no i don't think it is" he said with a genuine smile, "uhmg.......,....the view, it's beautiful isn't it?" he took a sip from his hot cocoa, "it sure is" i smiled back at him and so did he. That moment my heart skipped a loud beat. I started to sweat and my cheeks blushed. I thought to myself 'what is this feeling' , a feeling that i never felt in a thousand years. 'or could this be lo...?' no its too soon for it, or 'is it something known as......arrhythmia!' " just got here eh?" he continued to start a friendly conversation."y-yes indeed,.....you?"my voice cracked because my heart was beating like hell. " i just moved here a couple of months ago, oh by the way, i am William , jus' call me will", he let out a warm handshake ," Georgia, and that's my son, liam" i uttered while shaking hands with him. His fleecy skin touched mine, and i started getting goosebumps through my nerves."nice to meet you Georgia",he smiled at me and then to my son who was sitting on the grass playing with his new toy cars he got for his birthday , "where's his dad? i only see you two?" He had a big exclamation mark on his face. What he said, made me completely loose my strength. Depressed, and anxious. I said to my self.. 'oh Jesus, why me?, i can't tell him about liam's ada,.... well,, yet....uhhhh' I tried my best to answer but nothing came out of my f*****g mouth. I froze. Finallyyy he said. "I'm very sorry.. i was just..... i didn't me-" he knew what was in my mind. "I-it's o-okay,, you don't need to be sorry......" i comforted him but he refused that it was very rude of him to ask something very personal. Weell that maybe true somehow " i literally didn't mean to ask you that, if you really felt hurt i owe you an apology" he was very genuine and sad, it was as if he really cared about me. that was kinda cute. But it was almost supper so i waited for a moment to seize an opportunity to flee as i was almost fainting from hunger. I had to tell him that i forgave him,.. seriouslyyy... for a moment i thought he was a psychopath.(ikr) what am i ?!.... god?.... "okay i forgive you.........,,,, are you even human? you don-" he cut me before i could finish what i was going to say. " oh are you saying' i am psychotic?... you see deary,... you are included in my first priority", oh s**t,, he read my mind.. is that even possible?.."they are women....not just woman......beautiful and extraordinary ones.."he let out a smirk in his face... i was not sure what he meant. "well then, i am happy you have me on that list of yours" i mocked him. To be honest, i was happy he said that. It is nice to have someone who cares about me. We stared at each other smiling and giggling for almost five minutes, until my stomach started to growl out of nowhere,"grrrrr, grrrrr" i gave and embarrassed smile. He felt an overwhelming desire to giggle "how long have you been with an empty belly?" he queried while giggling. My face turned red and i started to fidget. "all my life? i guess?" i answered shyly, "wow, ..you should go and eat or you'll die," he said while removing his hands on the fence, " anyway it was nice meeting you 'Georgie', hope to see you tomorrow,... and you too liam," he gave a smile with his lips and turned around and headed back to his house. I saw a smirk on his face while he turned around but it didn't mind. What matters to me is the name he called..... "georgie" i uttered quietly. I really liked that name. "common liam,.. lets get inside" i lifted him from the ground and gave him a kiss on the cheeks. "mommy i am hungry" he said while rubbing his stomach "mommy's hungry too.....muffin.., what,... you say we eat some spaghetti?" i squealed,"yes, spaghettti my faavorite!"
