New neighbors

“GET UP YOU BRAT," Rafael said and threw Aaron on the floor.

"Hey, how can you wake someone like that, do you want me to die? " Aaron said while rubbing his eyes.

"why don't you get up on your own then huh? why do you need someone to come and wake you up?" Rafael said, "Now get fresh and come down for breakfast everyone is waiting" Saying so Rafael went outside.

When Aaron came down, all the family members were already seated at the dining table.

"Good morning everyone, " Aaron said and sat on his seat in between Bryan and Diane. Diane served him food. And he happily started to devour his food.

"How old are you that you can't even take your own food?" said Rafael.

"I really think one of these days you will burn from jealousy," Aaron said while taking a big bite of his breakfast.

"you!"

"Shut up both of you eat your lunch quietly otherwise I will not give you anything to eat for the entire day," Mrs. Shaw said. Both of them stopped fighting and started to eat their breakfast quietly Bryan and Diane both smiled at their behavior.

"Ma’am I have packed the extra soup" a maid came and said to Diane. He nodded at her and then told her to go.

"Why did you pack extra soup?" Aaron asked.

"Aaron, we have new neighbors. I am going to give them some soup" Diane said.

"I will also come with you," Aaron said and Diane nodded in agreement.

Soon Aaron and Diane were standing in front of their neighbors' house waiting for someone to open the door. Soon the door opened revealing a handsome young man who was slightly shorter than Aaron. Aaron thought that the man looked quite familiar.

The man had a smirk on his face as soon as he saw the other two "yes, how can I help you."

"Hello my Name is Diane Shaw and this is my younger brother Aaron and we are your neighbors," Diane said and gave the soup container to the man.

"It's nice to meet you. My name is Felix Shroff," the man said. Before anyone else could say anything another man appeared at the doorstep "who's there Felix"

Aaron's eyes widened when he saw the other man and he suddenly blurted out "Hayden? Hayden Shroff"

Hayden then looked at Aaron and had somewhat the same reaction as the other "Mr. Shaw"

"What a surprise Mr. Shroff I didn't know that we would be neighbors" Aaron then looked at Felix who still had a smirk on his face "and you Felix Shroff you are his partner I have seen you in business meetings"

"I am glad you recognized me, Mr. Shaw," Felix said.

"Mr. Shaw come inside please," Hayden said and all of them went inside

"Aaron how do you know Mr. Shroff," Diane asked.

"The Marsh' corporation and the Shroff corporation opened a joint venture two years ago, I and Bryan met him two years ago and since then we have been good partners and Mr. Shroff is the only person with whom we have a good friendship in business " Aaron explained and Diane Nodded in agreement.

"So Mr. Shaw how is Mr. Bryan," Hayden asked.

"Mr. Shroff since we are neighbors and also good friends how about we drop the formalities, please call me Aaron besides I am younger than you I don't like to be addressed formally, and to answer your question my brother is doing just fine," Aaron said with a smile.

Felix appeared with water and placed them in front of the guest " Since we moved here yesterday we don't have anything to offer you except water" Felix said and Hayden looked at the other two apologetically.

"It's okay Mr. Shroff we understand," Diane said and took a sip of water and then said " since you guys just moved yesterday, why don't you guys have dinner at our house today"

Hayden and Felix exchanged a look "okay" Hayden replied suddenly they heard the front door open and a beautiful young woman entered the house , she looked the same age as Aaron , she was also quieter than Aaron. She had a poker face.

The young woman was so beautiful that Aaron couldn't take his eyes off her , the unknown woman a slim body, pale skin, and her eyes were also beautiful, but the unknown woman had a cold aura and she didn't even look at the guest that was present there and directly spoke to Hayden

" I bought all the items you told me to bring , is there anything else that you want?" the woman said.

" No, Amber," Hayden said "by the way ,meet them they are our neighbors, Mr. Aaron, and his elder sister, Diane"

Amber looked at the two guests and then greeted them, and they greeted back.

"Aaron, Ms. Diane: Meet my younger sister Amber," Hayden said.

This statement shocked Aaron "wow, Mr. Shroff I never knew you had a sister "

Hayden smiled at the other's reaction "my sister is not a very social person , she doesn't like to interact much with others"

"Brother I'll be in my room , if you want help then you can call me," Amber said and then went to her room without even sparing a glance anyone else

"Mr. Shroff, why is your sister so...." Aaron didn't know how to complete his sentence

"cold?" Felix said and Aaron nodded "she is like this ever since she was born, always keeping a poker face and neither approaching anyone nor allowing anyone else to approach her, she is a rock," Felix said with a smirk.

"looks like Mr. Shroff's little sister is really a well-behaved person," Diane said

Before Hayden could say anything else Felix spoke "oh please Ms. Shaw, she is the most arrogant person in the entire world."

Hayden shook his head with a sigh and said "when will you two stop behaving like this?"

"Behaving like what?" Felix asked.

"Behaving like kids , you two are adults now and still make me worry about you , I can't even think about leaving you two in the same room. Who knows what you two will do?" Hayden said.

"Simple , either we will irritate each other to death, or maybe strangle each other to death," Felix said with an evil smile, and this time Hayden just facepalmed.

Aaron and Diane chuckled at the two.

"Don't worry Mr. Shroff you are not the only one facing this problem of two adults fighting like kids this happens every day at our home also, you will see when you come to dinner at night"

" I am glad to know that there is someone else here who understands my problem," Hayden said.

"Okay we are leaving Mr. Shroff , it was nice meeting you," Diane Said "we'll see you at the dinner tonight," Diane said and then left the house

While leaving Aaron's mind was surrounded by only one person.

'who are you, Amber'

Aaron thought Amber's cold personality and dazzling poker face really attracted Aaron's attention. The more Aaron thought the more interested he became, he really wanted to get closer and know more about Amber Shroff for some odd reason.
