Irreversibly In Love (Wally Darling x Reader)

5. Inspired

"Poppy, Was it?" I ask as i look up at the colorful bird. Her feathers ruffled in delight and i can't help but smile at her.

"Why, Yes!"

She was currently on my door step with a big wicker basket with a red checkered cloth on top hiding it's content.

"I've heard so much about you. Please come in! My name's (Y/n)." I said cheerfully.

She happily walked in and sat down on my couch. Shutting the door, I sat on the arm chair and faced her.

"Thank you for letting me in. I've heard so much about the new neighbor but apparently," She smirked slightly.

"Wally has been occupying all your time. So, You can imagine how hard it was to get ahold of you!" She says and i blush. Not realizing that wally was in fact taking up my time recently.

I mean he's just helping me settle in. That's all his intentions were... Right? He's friendly with everyone that's how his character was made to be...

"Yes, You know how kind wally is.... He helps everyone and can't help but welcome new neighbors." I say and she smiles warmly.

"That's true. He's a true friend." She moved and puts the basket on her lap. Taking the cloth off the top.

"I've brought you some goodies but i had no idea what you liked. I tried to ask wally but he seemed...." She trailed off and looked almost unsure of herself.

"Preoccupied." She finished and shook her head.

Sure, that wasn't odd.

"That's so sweet of you! You didn't have to go through the trouble." I said and she laughs.

"Don't be silly. I enjoy baking so much. I enjoyed the challenge." She took out a pie. A few pastries and tupperware filled to the top with cookies. My mouth waters at the smell of all the cookies.

She notices and smiles.

"Cookies? Here try them!" She opens it and hands me one. I take it and eagerly take a bite. It melted apart in my mouth and i sighed with content.

"These are wonderful, Poppy!"

Her feathers once again ruffled and i couldn't help but crack a goofy smile at that cute detail.

"I'm so happy you love them. If you ever need recipes or help with baking. My house is the barn as you might have guessed." I nod and she looks around for a second. Her gaze stopped at something and i followed it.

She was looking at the mess of art supplies i had and i flush in embarrassment.

"Another artist i see. Wally must be pleased." She mused and i couldn't help but feel exposed.

"H-He actually asked me to... Paint with him tomorrow afternoon... So i wanted to practice a little..." I said and she looks over at me. Clearly interested.

She looked lost in thought.

"He never lets anyone go with him when he paints."

I jumped at her sudden statement.

That's weird...
