Danni's POV
the next day
I carried the last box of mine into my room. I didn’t have a lot of stuff, but I did make a lot of trips up and down the stairs. Dad and Frank carried up my bed and set it up, along with Nikki’s. Ray, Bob, Uncle Mikey and Alicia flew out because they had a show in LA next week. They were going to stay with us because we had a lot of extra room in the basement where Mikey and Alicia were going to stay, and Bob and Ray were going to sleep on our giant couch.
I ripped off the tape and dug through the contents. I had already put up some shelves, so I set my pimp cup on one of them at the far end. I put my Cd's on the shelf above my desk where my laptop was sitting. I really need to invest in a new one, as it was really old. I got it for Christmas a few years ago.
I really loved my room. It was much bigger than the one Nikki and I used to share. My bed was in front of the window facing the street; my desk was in front of the side window. I put my clothes in the closet; I would go through them later. Nikki and I have our own closets, and I’m so happy! I put my makeup and hair stuff in the small bathroom that Nikki and I shared, seeing that she had already put her stuff in there.
“Danni!! Get in here!” I heard Nikki yell. I went through the door and saw her standing beside the side window with her hand over her mouth.
“What?!” I said, worried. She tried not too, but she busted out laughing.
“I just saw penis...” she said, trying to hold herself up because she was laughing so hard.
“Wait... what? Seriously?!”
“Yes! I sat my computer down, and I looked up and saw Ryan, naked. He didn’t notice me; I think he didn’t anyway...” She looked at me and started laughing again. She stood beside me, looking out the window once again. Her window was really close to his.
All of a sudden, there he was in full glory. We quickly ducked behind the desk so he wouldn’t see us. Nikki and I just looked at each other. After a few seconds, there was a knock on the door.
Our dad walked in, and gave us a strange look. “I heard yelling, then laughing. What happened?”
“Lets just say we got to know our neighbor Ryan real well...” Nikki said, giggling. Dad looked confused for a second, and then shook his head.
“I’m buying you a curtain...” he said before walking out the door.

Nikki's POV
I couldn't stop thinking about Ryan. Not his penis, but Ryan in general. There was just something about him that I really liked; something about him that I’ve never felt with anyone, not even Dustin... I didn’t know what that meant because I still loved Dustin, and I still wanted to be with him even though we were 2000 miles apart. But on the other hand, Ryan was right next door. I mean, right next door. His window was only a few feet away from mine, which was kind of creepy, but nice at the same time.
I sat down on my bed, looking around my room. It was really big for my few items, but I didn’t mind. I had this really great view of the mountains and an old Victorian mansion down the street. It was massive in size, and it looked like it came straight out of a Scooby Doo episode.
I was about to get up and head down into the living room when my phone rang. I picked it up and sighed when I saw the name. I thought about just letting it ring, but I decided I should answer it, “Hey, Dustin.”
“I know you said not to call, but I just can't stand not being able to hear your voice,” he took a deep breath. “I miss you, Nikki. I don't understand why we couldn't just have a long distance relationship. It's not like we would never see each other. I could fly out and see you anytime I wanted.”
I shook my head, trying not to think about our breakup, “Dustin, I miss you too. I only broke up with you because it was the right thing to do. I didn't want to make you feel like you couldn't be with anyone else. I want you to be with other people. Maybe when I graduate I'll move back and we can be together again.”
“Nik, I don't care about other people; I care about you. I love you, and I know you love me.” It sounded like he was about to cry.
I didn't know what to say. He was right. We did love each other. I loved him more than I had ever loved anyone else. I sighed and was just about to say something when the doorbell rang downstairs. “Dustin, someone's at the door. We can talk later.”
“I love you Nikki.”
I sat there for a few seconds in silence. I thought about saying I loved him too, but I decided against it. I hung up and put my phone in my pocket. The doorbell went off again as I was walking out of my room.
Before I headed downstairs, I tapped on Danni's door. No answer. I pushed her door open and saw her sleeping on her bed. I laughed quietly to myself before heading downstairs. I was just about to open the door when Dad and Frank came running up from the Basement, pulling their shirts on. It's nice to know that they were already breaking in the new house.
I made it to the door before either of them and pulled it open. It was our new neighbor, Brenden. He was holding a plate of cookies. “These are for you,” he smiled. “It's nice to have new neighbors. It's been a while since anyone new has moved in here. I really hope you guys stick around for a while.”
My dad stepped up and grabbed the plate of cookies, “We plan on staying for quite sometime, and thank you for the cookies. They look delicious.”
Brenden blushed, “I made them myself.”
Dad and Frank took the plate of cookies and disappeared into the kitchen. Brenden was about to turn and leave when I stopped him, “You should tell your brother to keep his clothes on when he's in his room. I got to know him a little too well earlier.”
Brenden laughed, “I'll definitely let him know. It's going to be hard on him though, he loves walking around naked for some odd reason.”
I shook my head, “He sounds like some other people I know...” I gestured back to the kitchen where Frank and my dad were.
Without saying anything, Brenden walked through our yard back to his house. When his door closed behind him, I shut the front door and walked into the kitchen. Dad and Frank were already eating the cookies.
“You guys are going to get fat from eating all those cookies.” I grabbed one from the plate and took a bite. It was delicious.
Frank dropped his cookie, “Fat? Me? Never.”
Dad laughed and finished the cookie he was holding, “He sure seems like a nice kid. It's good to know that we have nice neighbors.”
Frank laughed, “What were you expecting, mass murderers?”
I finished my cookie and nodded, “That's exactly what he was expecting.
Dad was about to say something when Frank shoved another cookie in his mouth. I laughed, “I think I'll leave you two alone.”
I turned and walked out of the kitchen, heading back up to my bedroom. I was already starting to like this place.
