“Oh, no.” He shakes his head immediately. “Let me go switch this for something you’ll actually like.”
“Skye,” he calls, starting to turn.
I stop him. “Leave her. I’m sure they’ll be fine.”
He heads toward the gate, then pauses and turns back. “Should I knock, or…?”
I laugh. “Use the side gate. You’re fine. I’ll be in the kitchen.”
“I’ll be right back.” He flashes me a quick smile before disappearing through the gate.
I pull my phone out immediately and open the group chat.
There are already messages waiting.
June:
May, what the fuck just happened?
April:
May, please report back asap
Me:
OMG guys, I thought Neptune had let himself out, but turns out it was Skye. Aiden is my NEXT-DOOR NEIGHBOR.
April:
WTF?!
June:
Spill! What happened!
Me:
Apparently, he’s friends with my landlord, and he thought I was him, so he came by with beer and the sexiest sweatpants I’ve ever seen in my life.
April:
Those must be some sexy sweatpants for you to notice
Me:
He also had a backwards hat on. help!
June:
Where is he now?
Me:
He went to switch the beer. I said I was into wheat beer, and he went to change the IPA he brought for something I’d like.
April:
Aaaawwww
