Today’s Snippet

Now that Piper was standing in front of her neighbour, a very handsome neighbour none-the-less, to talk to him in person suddenly didn’t seem like a good idea anymore. But she hadn’t been able to go asleep. She’d been tossing and turning in bed, the small messages playing havoc in her mind. In the end, she’d decided to walker over instead of writing another note.

Jon wasn’t at all what she’d imagined. His warm chocolate brown eyes took her in. Was he disappointed in what he saw? More doubt crept up in her. She’d introduced herself. Wasn’t it now his turn to say something? He didn’t. He just stood there, wearing only some track pants, which hung very low on his incredibly sexy body, and a worn-out blue t-shirt with Perth printed right across the chest.

She bit her lip and blew out a breath. “My apologies—”

He held up his hand. “No, don’t be. I—”

“Expected another message?”

That slow smile that spread across his face, was about the sexiest thing she’d seen in a long time.

~~~ Touch Me ~~~

She loves the feel of his skin beneath her hands …

Lexie Marshall packs up and moves 3,000 km east with her daughter Zoe, to forget and move on. Now, all that matters is her daughter and her new job. She tries hard to stay focussed, but the sexy and extremely kind park ranger, Jesse, is not making it easy. And when her husband shows up in the small coastal town creating chaos, all she can do is hang on and trust her new friends.

After his last girlfriend walked out on him, Jesse Parker is doing just fine on his own. Until his accidental meeting with single mother Lexie, when he rescues her and her daughter from getting lost in the forest. But when her past catches up with her, he is right in the middle of it all and it might ruin his career.

Will returning to her old life be the only chance to save his career?

Yet, why was he message-flirting with his neighbour?

He still contemplated his reply when he was distracted by a knock at the door. The door leading into the hallway.

“Mate I have to go. Let me know when you arrive and I’ll be at the airport.”

His friend didn’t have a chance to reply as he disconnected the call as soon as he’d spoken the words. His curiosity was spiked. He moved over to the door and a smile tugged at his lips.

“Hi. I’m Piper from—” She pointed over her shoulder. “—the other cabin.”

“I’m staying a cabin in a caravan park. It has two rooms. It’d be great to have you here for a week or two.”

“Perfect,” Keith replied. “I check flights once I get off the call. How do I get to your place?”

“I’ll pick you up. I reckon it’s only an hour or so to the Melbourne airport.”

“Deal!” He let out a chuckle. “I’ll ask whether Gareth would like to join me.”

Jon joined his friend in the chuckle, knowing how much their friend disliked to fly. “Good luck with that one.”

“Any nice female surfers there?”

Jon scratched the back of his neck, and all of a sudden he thought of his cabin neighbour, wondering whether she surfed as well. “There’s a surfing competition on in town. I’m sure you two will meet someone.”

“How about you?”

He cocked a brow. “What about me?”

His friend let out a snort. “Women. Have you met anybody, yet?”

Keith knew about Paula, who had packed her bags the day she’d been told that Jon had survived the heart attack, but might never fully recover. They’d been engaged for two years and had postponed their wedding until they were both able to take time off. So much for through good times and bad times. No, Jon had burnt his hands when it came to women.

Yet, why was he message-flirting with his neighbour?

“I could take some time off and join you at Bells Beach.”

It’d be good to have a friend around, even if it were for only a few days. So much had happened in the last three months since he’d packed up and left for a holiday. A holiday that had turned out to be much longer than planned. But he wasn’t ready to go back, yet. His boss had been really good and understanding when Jon had asked for six months leave without pay. He had enough money from his investments to keep going for a while, although he’d hoped he would’ve figured out by now He what he wanted in life. Most certainly not his job which had caused him so much stress.

“Can you book me a room at your hotel?” Keith asked, breaking into his thoughts.

“I’m staying a cabin in a caravan park. It has two rooms. It’d be great to have you here for a week or two.”

“I’m near Bells Beach, hoping to get to ride the surf there.” Jon looked out the small window and into the dark distance where the moon shone in all its glory. “And I haven’t made it to Melbourne, yet, let alone Sydney.”

“Mate, we miss you here.”

Keith’s words were spoken in no more than a whisper, but the goosebumps on Jon’s arms reflected the intensity of it. “I miss you guys, too, but I have to do this.”

“Have to?”

Jon blew out a breath. “I have to figure out what I want to do.”

Silence hung heavy between them until his friend broke it. “I could take some time off and join you at Bells Beach.”

“Jon here.”

“Jono. How are you? Where are you?”

A smile tugged at Jon’s lips. He was glad to hear from his friend, Keith. They had a lot to catch up on, yet, Jon also appreciated the distraction from his note-writing adventure.

“I’m in a small place along the Great Ocean Road.”

Keith chuckled. “Must be small. The connection is crap.” He paused. “Tell me, when are you coming home?”

Wasn’t that the million-dollar-question. It’d been ten months since he’d woken up in a hospital barely surviving a heart attack. A heart attack. Him. He was in his mid-thirties and had already Escaped death on his CV.

Before he could change his mind, he wrote on a little note: Considering that we’re in a Neighbour-relationship, may I ask for your name? As before, he snuck into the hallway and slid the piece of paper under the door. He stood, but before he returned to his cabin, he still and listened. It was quiet. When he took a step back, he saw that the lights were off as well. Disappointment trickled through him, he’d been looking forward to more old-fashioned messaging. Shoulders slouched, he sauntered back, but picked up speed when he heard the buzzing of his phone.

“Jon here.”

“Jono. How are you? Where are you?”

Today’s Snippet

A smile spread across Jon’s as he read his neighbour’s note. Neighbour-relationship? He chuckled. Despite the seriousness behind it all, he actually enjoyed their game of writing / receiving messages. Hopefully, it was also distracting her from her worries. Only a few minutes ago he’d opened the door to the hallway, but hadn’t heard anything, but the TV.  Was he reading too much into her words? Did she think he’d complaint about the noise that made her apologise it wouldn’t happen again? Clearly, his remark that it’d broken his heart was enough indication that he was trying to lighten up the mood. Good grief, he was overthinking what was supposed to have been a little lift-me-up for his neighbour.

Should he continue?

Before he could change his mind, he wrote on a little note: Considering that we’re in a Neighbour-relationship, may I ask for your name?

She picked up the piece of paper, made her way to the shared hallway, and carefully slid her second note under his door. Unlike before, she snuck back to her rooms, giggling like a small girl hiding secrets from her parents. Giddiness swept across her and her body tingled when she finished her cup of tea.

Good Lord, she was desperate for a life. Small notes from a stranger had her beaming with excitement like a teenager.

She blew out a breath, again letting her mind wonder where she had gone wrong in her marriage for her husband to betray her so badly.

She glanced over to the door, but no return note was to be seen. Something like disappointment trickled through her as she sat on the couch. She placed her cup onto the table and reached for the TV remote. The movie she decided on didn’t hold her attention, though, and she lulled into a snooze.

She read it again. Was he flirting with her? Or showing honest concern? Had she cried that loud? Embarrassment shot through her again and it made her cry all over again. Good Lord, she was a mess. She returned to the kitchen bench and finished her tea before taking a tentative sip. Closing her eyes, she devoured the taste of the hot drink for a moment as it filled her body with a comforting warmth. How she hated to admit that her dad had been right when he’d warned her not to get involved with Darren. But she’d been head over heels in love and none of her father’s “gut feelings” had convinced her. She choked back a laugh as she remembered the many Christmases they’d spent at her parents’ home. They’d been married for over six years, happily married she thought, and each Christmas she let her dad know just how happy and successful her relationship with Darren had been. He’d climbed the promotion ladder, she’d been content in her position in the local veterinary practice, big house, big holidays, big cars … they’d had it all.

Until last week.

The subtle breeze coming through the window moved her neighbour’s note. Again, a smile formed on her lips and she reached for the notepad.

“Long story,” she muttered as she scribbled the words. “I’m sorry I broke your heart already so early in our … hmm … neighbour-relationship. It won’t happen again. I promise.”
