Chapter 60: EP 58 - THE GIRL NEXT DOOR.
The members of the Adventurers Society had rounded up their game a little earlier. They called it a day and all went back to their respective homes. Obi ran up the stairs and dropped his bag on the bed. He lay there for some minutes. He had almost gotten to the point of falling asleep where the blaring of a horn surprised him. He looked out from the window and saw a truck. It was from a moving agency that helps in the transportation and arrangements of the movers' belongings to their new residence .
He came down and saw his Mom putting fruits in a basket. He walked to her side and rested his hands on the counter. "Since when have you been on dieting??" He asked scratching his head and made to take a juicy apple.
Tasha smacked his hand , making him drop the fruit as she wrapped it with a China cloth.
"It's for our Neighbours."
"Wait?" Obi stopped her. "We have new neighbours??"
"Yes, we do. If you actually took a walk around the neighbourhood instead of being up in your room doing God-knows -what , You'd know that the Larsons left a month ago."
"Yes mom. That wonderful and all... but are you going to give me that?" Obi pointed to the Apple in the basket
Tasha smiled and handed him the basket of fruit. "No you are going to go over there and give this to our new Neighbours ."
"Why me?? Can't you give it to Ada??? Ada is more hospitable you know."
Ada who was in the sitting room who was watching a lifetime movie , hale and hearty , began to cough and sneeze."Mom , I'm feeling a bit sick."
Tasha went over to her and patted her head. "She not feeling well, So You have to do it Tobi."
"Its obvious she's faking it ."Obi retorted and Ada coughed more pretentiously.
Tasha out her hands on her hips and gave him a stern glare .
"Tobi Brown ..."
Three minutes later, Obi found himself standing on the front porch of his neighbours house holding the basket of fruit. He never knew how his mom did it! Tasha always had her way.
That little Imp!
It was obvious she wasn't sick and yet his mom sent him!!!!
He was so going to deal with her.
But that was for later.
Obi rang the doorbell. He waited for some seconds but nobody came out. He turned away and was about to go home. At least now he could say in his defence nobody answer.
A sense of dread seeped into him when the red door creaked open. He spun round and his jaw dropped.
She was stunning.
Her beautiful , long, flowing ,black hair , her sparkling, glittering crystal brown eyes , Her lovely curves and sweet demeanour
It was all too much to take at close range.
Obi felt the arrow of Cupid pierce through his heart as he stood mouth agape.
The girl tapped him. "Are you OKay?"
"Yes...Yes." Obi recovered and handed her the fruit basket. She looked at him queerly and he remembered .
"I am so Sorry! I didn't introduce myself. I'm you're next door neighbour, Tobi Brown but you could call me ...
"Obi ?"
He nodded in affirmative . Obi was about to say otherwise but she was so cute so he was going to let it slide.
"My name is Blair. Blair Willows. Nice to make your acquaintance , Tobi." She headed back inside and intending to shut the door when her black hair peeked out .
"Thanks for the Fruit Basket. We really appreciate it."
And she banged the door in his face.
Obi went home feeling as if he was struck by a lightening and walking in air. When he got home , he went straight upstairs under the puzzled gaze of his sister.
He fell to the bed and looked out the window. He saw Blair picking up some boxes from the outside with her Parents and smiled.
Obi couldn't believe it.
"l think am falling in love!!!" .
