“Well I don’t know. Sometimes people do because they think I talk too much.”

“Please! If anybody talks too much, it’s me! Promise.”

“Can you do it again?””

“I don’t know if I can. I’m not usually that clever.”

“Oh my god– Did you just–”

“I think I did.”

“Wait– so you do actually want me to stop talking?”

“Oh, come on. Do you really think I’d want you to stop talking, Owen? Your voice is like butter.”

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I’ll just stop talking now and just stand here and smile instead.”

“Maybe that wouldn’t be such a bad thing. I don’t think most neighbors talk as much or as frequently as we do.”

“Well I meant it as flattery. You can say I’m the worst all you want but I am the best and you love me and both you and I know it.”

“You’re the worst because you’re so effortlessly charming and every time you say something sweet I want to kiss you. It’s awful. You’re the worst.”

“I’m curious about how good it would be. I don’t have any doubt that it would be good it’s just… how good, you know? Now that’s more like it. Oh you’re very very welcome, love.”

“I don’t know whether to be flattered or offended by that curiosity. Of course it’d be amazing! But, you’re the worst, you know that?”

“Is that an invitation?”

“It might be...”

“Yeah, you’re right. Now I’m curious… but you’re right. If it was someone else I probably would still go for it but I’d rather not make things awkward with you. Like the best neighbor ever? I am the best neighbor ever. Just like you’re the best neighbor ever.”

“Wait, wait, wait. You’re curious? What are you so curious about? Yes. You’re the best neighbor ever. Aww, thank you.”

“This is the time I would usually suggest to someone that we go back to my place but I’m not sure of how fantastic of a plan that would be. With the neighbor thing and all… unless you’re still up for making some questionable decisions.”

“I don’t wanna do something I’ll regret later and feel awkward about forever. And I don’t want to have to move away to avoid awkward interactions afterwards because you’re like the best neighbor ever.”

“What I’m picking up from that is that that just made you even more curious?”

“Unfortunately.”

“Incredibly horrible,” Eden answered. “I would just absolutely hate that, you know?”

“Babe, it was sarcasm. Or reverse psychology. Whatever name you wanna give it,” Eden smiled softly.

“You know, you don’t sound all too confident about that.” Owen said with a slight amusement in his voice. “Does that mean you want me to continue until you do satisfy your curiosity or…?”

“But that’s the problem.. I don’t know if my curiosity could be satisfied with kisses like that,” Eden stressed.

When Spencer felt Eden’s arms wrap around her neck she dropped her hands to the girl’s waist, and pulled her closer. 

“Your lips are so soft,” Eden whispered into the air, attaching her lips to Spencer’s again and feeling a flutter in her tummy when the girl pulled her in closer. She hadn’t felt like this in a while.
