The Boy Next Door

Unexpected guest

I open the door just to meet the icy blue eyes of Jared Smith.

"What the hell are you doing here?" I ask pissed off.

"Feisty. I like it,"He smirks. He walks past me and into my house.

"You can't just walk in here and act like you own the place," I yell at him. I strain front of him, his tall frame towering over mine." Get out!" I glare at him. He just smiled and walks past me again. This time his skin touches mine and my stomach explodes. Stop it. He shouldn't have any affect on me.

"Umm. I'm pretty sure I can. At least that's what your mom told me," He says sitting on the couch."In fact she just called me and said to come over and check on you," he smirks.

"Not true!" I can't believe he would say that." In gonna call my mom and ask her. When she says she didn't do that, I kicking you out," I exclaim.

"And if I'm right then I get to stay here as long as I want," He proposes.

"Deal," I agree. There is no way my mom would do this to me! I run into the kitchen and take out my phone. I dial her number and wait for her to pick up.

"Hello?" Her voice rings in my ear.

"Did you send Jared over here?!" I ask probably loud enough for Jared to hear.

"I did," She answers. My jaw drops. My own mother has turned against me.

"Mom how could you!? I told you exactly how I feel about him," I yell.

"Sorry, honey. I got to go. Love ya," She hangs up. I stand there for a minute contemplating what the hell I'm gonna do next. I'll just go up stairs to my room. He can't go in my room.

I walk into the living room and cross my arms over my chest. Jared is sitting on the clutch eating my popcorn and watching TV, while smirking his head off.

"I am going up to my room and u will not bother me at all. Got it," I demand. He just nods his head." And no messes!" I say while I walk back into the kitchen.

I grab another packet of popcorn and put 1 minute in the timer. I press start and wait.

Strong arms snake around my waist and I'm pulled against a hard body. I gasp and Jared chuckles. My heart is pounding and fireworks are going off everywhere he's touching me. Don't fall for it! Get away from him!

"See how much I affect you, Malia. Just give in," He whispers in my ear and I shiver. Remember to breath, Malia!

"You will never affect me," I whisper back.

Beep beep!

I quickly elbow him in the side and he backs away holding the place where I hit him.

"That's for touching me," I state. he looks up at me still smirking. Oh he's asking for it. Before I can stop myself, I form a fist and punch him in his pretty bad boy face.

"And that's for this morning's note."

He obviously didn't see that coming, because for a second it looked like he couldn't breath. A red mark started to form on his peek and I smiled. He glares at me. I turn around, grab my bag of popcorn and head up stairs.

*************************************
I set down my pencil as I finish my math homework. It's been about an hour since the kitchen incident and Jared hasn't bothered me at all. I'm not even sure if he left.

I decide to go check when I hear a knock on my bedroom door. I get up and open the door to see a shirtless Jared standing in front of me. I accidentally scream and cover my eyes. The nerve of him!

"What the hell do you think your doing?!" I yell at him. I know I can't see him, but I can feel him smirking at me.

"I'm affecting you," He says.

"No, you are not!" I say.

"Then uncover your eyes and prove it," He challenges. My weakness. He fricken found my weakness. I'm a very competitive child and can't turn don't a single challenge.

I slowly start to uncover my eyes and find he standing VERY close to me. I take a step back, keeping my eyes on his face. He raises his eyebrows and smiles.

He takes a step closer and I take another step back. A step closer. A step back. A step closer. A step back.

Thump!

I hit my sliding glass window with my back and panic starts to rise in the pit of my stomach. He takes another step, closing the gap between us and pinning me. He puts his hands on my sides and sparks explode inside my stomach.

His eyes stare daringly into mine and I have a sudden urge to kiss the daylights out of him. Don't give in! Prove he isn't affecting you! He moves his head closer to mine and I start to close my eyes.

"Told you I affect you," he whispers in my ear. I feel a breeze and I open my eyes. He's no where to be seen. I hear the front door close, indicating he left and bringing me out of my haze.
