Savannah's POV

Yes, these two fit guys are my next door neighbours.
Yes, my brother is living amongst them.

After an hour or so of chatting, my parents head to the dining room to sort out dinner. That's when my brother takes his chance by tackling me to the floor, getting me in a headlock and ruffling up my hair. "Owww watch my hair you dickhead" I bellowed. I heard sniggering from Matt and Theo. Some laugh louder than others. I glared at Matt.

Adam is in a fit of laughter not concerned for the damage he has dealt with my neck. "That's what you get for not seeing my message." He finally lets me free. 

Oh yeah, I forgot about them. I give a half smile whilst sitting on the sofa and grab my phone. 2 messages still waiting for me.

Adam:
Guess who's coming over???
Oh and living next to you with my mates for the rest of your life hahaha

Even his messages irritate me

And a message from Callum. Oh, he's a very good looking guy. Brown soft hair which is usually gelled back but when he's running late and doesn't have time to do his hair he looks even better. The rough look suits him. But he doesn't like it because he wants to look smarter than he is. He's only a few inches taller than me built muscular with a big headed vibe in him. He's a friend of mine that Adam doesn't like very much he just says "There's something weird about him" but I do understand what he means because for the past 2 weeks he hasn't stopped messaging me every night asking for a "surprise"

Callum:
"Hey, babe want some fun?"

I couldn't help but let out a sigh. Hmm, no thanks. That was last night at 12:00 am. I'm so glad I slept way before then.

Savannah:
"Hey I'm busy"

Mum calls us to go to the back room and I'm still hooked on my phone looking at some Instagram videos. I hear the rest of the guys go out of the room and then I quickly turn my phone off and head out the door. 

That's when I hit hard against someone. Their body is firm and I could already feel each tender muscle on their chest. His clothes weren't doing any justice. He coughs and brings me back to reality. I loosen my hands as they're clenched on his top and I stare up at Theo wide-eyed, blush creeping up to my cheeks. I try to take a step back but his hands on my waist hold me in place. "Sorry" is the only thing that escapes my lips. He's still staring, his eyes diving deeper into mine. Why isn't he stopping? Is he a statue? His eyes flicker to my lips and back to my eyes and he takes a small swallow.

Theo finally takes his hands off me and scratches the back of his head. "Oh um sorry." I have to get out of here I can feel my body temperature increase every second I'm next to him. But he won't let me. He gently holds my wrist and I look at his touch "What was bothering you earlier?"

I had to blink a few times and look at him puzzled. "What?- What do you mean?"

"What was on your phone that bothered you so much?"

Eh, why the fuck does he want to know that? I don't even know the guy. "Oh, it doesn't ma-"

"Are you both going to eat or starve to death?!" Screamed Adam.

Theo shifts awkwardly and runs back into the dining room. I head in after him a few minutes later.

As soon as I get into the room Adam shoots daggers at me and the only seat available is the one opposite Theo. Awkward...
