The Cadet Leaps

Before you read, you know I’m not good at writing stories. So sorry.♡

Takes place somewhere in the 1990s.

It's two in the morning. Once again, you're having a sleepless night alone in your small apartment. Not a sleepless night because of stress or anything else. It was your neighbor. Your new neighbor moved in a few doors down a few weeks ago and every night he blasts loud music like no one's business. So loud the whole complex can hear. You cover your ears with your thick white pillow and go into a fetus position, wishing it will stop.

An hour passed and nothing changed except for your growing anger. You finally get the urge to walk over to his apartment and tell him that he's disturbing your sleep. You get out of bed and change into a white tee and red shorts. You slip on your bunny slippers and walk out to handle this situation. The music gets louder as you walk closer to his door.

You stand in front of his door. You hear multiple voices and laughter from behind the door. Who throws a party at two in the morning...in an apartment complex? Him. The disrespectful is atrocious. You bang on his door four times. The banging was so hard anyone would have guessed it was the police. The music gets lower and everyone stops talking. You stand there with your arms crossed with a look of confidence in your face. He opens the door.

A man stands there towering over you. His hair the color of coffee and messy as if he woke up didn't comb it. His eyes are very seductive. Maybe that's how he gets females; staring deep into their soul with those beautiful, brown eyes. His jawline is extremely strong as if cut from the gods. He wears a white plain white shirt topped with a light brown cardigan. He also wears a pair of light blue jeans and finally a pair of semi-dirty leather combat boots.

You're confused as to how someone can be this beautiful. You almost forget why you walked down here in the first place. He catches you off guard by speaking.

"Is there something that you need miss?"

How embarrassing. You suddenly gain a boost of confidence.

"Yes, there is something I need. I need YOU to turn your music down. I've let this slide for too long. I'm tired! I can't sleep when you and your company partying it up acting like a bunch of monkeys at two in the morning when everyone else in this apartment is sleeping. Turn your music down or I'll come in and destroy that stereo my damn self!"

He stares at you for a bit then chuckles while slightly shaking his head.

"Okay, I'm sorry I'll turn my music down tonight. Just for you."

"How about for the rest of your time here? Thanks!"

You said sarcastically and he laughs again.

"Fine. Sorry. Can I go back to my company now?"

"I guess. Bye"

As you're starting to walk off you hear him speak for the last time.

"I like your slippers by the way. Goodnight."

And with that, you hear the door close. You feel your face get hot as you remember you had on your bunny slippers. If you would've known the neighbor would be a Greek god you would've worn something completely different...but anyways. You walk back to your room and take off the clothes and plop back into bed falling fast asleep.

You wake up at ten in the morning feeling JUST okay. The sleep could've been better but it's whatever. You get out of bed and walk over to your bathroom. You take a shower and brush your teeth. You walk over to your closet and get dressed for the day.

Today you have plans on going to the grocery. You just got your paycheck from your job at the flower shop and plan on spending the money accordingly. You go to the grocery store for a few hours and come back with a load. You walk into the complex and walk up the steps to your door. As you're about to put the keys into the door someone pops up from behind you and it scares you so much you drop some of your groceries on the ground.

"Shit!" You yell out.

"My apologies. I wasn't trying to frighten you."

You can practically feel his smile through his words. You turn to look at him to tell him off once again but you can't. His beauty makes up for his mistakes. Today he's wearing a gray sweatshirt with a few chains around his neck topped with a jacket. He's wearing yet another pair of blue jeans. And to top off the outfit, he's wearing a pair of regular pair of black shoes. Somehow he makes the most basic looking outfits so good. Maybe that's what happens when you're hot, you can wear anything and no one would care because you're beautiful. He also decided to comb and style his hair today.

"Whatever." You finally bend down to pick up your groceries. He decides to help and it's an awkward silence as none of you talked for that time. You both get back up and just stand there looking at each other.

"Johnny." He finally speaks.

“Huh?”

"My name is Johnny."

"Oh right. My name is Genesis but you can just call me Bes."

"Genesis. I like that name. I'll call you that instead." He smiles.

"Nuh uh. Just call me Bes. I'd prefer it actually."

"Sure thing."

Now it's awkward again. He's just staring at you. Like he's studying your face. You feel quite uncomfortable, considering no one ever looks your way in the first place. He's like a deer stuck in headlights. What is wrong with this beautiful man? Are you just that ugly that someone has to figure out how you came to be? You were starting to feel insecure.

"Umm, are you okay? You're acting a bit odd." He looks more normal now.

"Hey, can I stop by later? Maybe at around midnight? If it's fine with you."

"I'm not sure if I can trust you." He chuckles.

"And why would that be?"

"You tell me, Johnny. You're handsome and as charming as they can get. Maybe you're trying to use your good looks against me to lure me into your home and hurt me. Hm?"

"You must watch a lot of crime shows huh?"

"Actually, yes, I do."

"Well, I'll tell you this. I would never hurt someone as cute as you. And I think what I will have for you would be worth the wait, and risk." You smile and look down. His charms are undefeatable. This is ridiculous.

"Fine. I guess I'll see you tonight."

He has the biggest grin on his face. He looks like a child that just walked home and saw a puppy in the middle of a room.

"Cool. See you Bes." He walks off. You can't tell if you're hot or the hotness from him brushed off on you. Oh well. You finally continued to take your groceries into your apartment and chill in for the rest of day. You go to your room and change into something more comfortable. You then head out into the kitchen and grab a bag of chips and walk back to the living room. You sit down on the couch and turn on the TV to MTV. All that's been going through your mind was Johnny. You're also nervous about what he has for you. Your mind starts to rush.

I think... no I know I like him but what if he doesn't like me. He was flirting with me a little bit like come on now. But he probably acts like that with every female his wondering eyes see. What if he really is the killer though? He got salty because I told him to turn that damn music down and he wants his revenge? I should've just minded my business. Wrong. I'm glad I might have possibly risked my life just to see him. Wrong. I don't know.

As you're sitting there on the couch watching whatever MTV is showing, you hear a few knocks on your door. You look up at the clock and see that it's midnight. It's Johnny. Oh my goodness. Stay calm. You walk over to the door and look through the peephole. Johnny is standing there looking cute. But he also looks so nervous. You open the door and see him standing there in glasses wearing a black sleeveless shirt and regular blue jeans with white socks with no shoes on. His shirt was a mess. Just colors all over.

"What's up?" You try to sound unbothered.

"Hey. Are you ready to come over?”

"Oh, I'm coming over to your apartment now? I wasn't prepared for all that."

"I know it's last minute but I would rather you come over to see. I promise I have no devious plans." He says smiling.

"Okay."

You both walk over to his place and he opens the door. He ushers you in. You walk in and stare in amazement. His place looks really nice. His floors are wood, walls are brick. He has posters of different bands on the walls. You look over to where the windows were and saw THE stereo. Then you thought about it, that stereo brought you two together. You decided NOT to throw it out the window. Out of nowhere, you feel his hand touch your shoulder and you jump a little.

"You get scared easily.”

"Nah I just jump for no reason when someone unexpectedly touches my shoulder." You reply sarcastically. He smiles. He's always smiling.

"Follow me." You do as he says. He walks you over to what should be his dining area. But what you see was much more intriguing. You see so many paintbrushes and paintings on the ground.

"What are you? The next Bob Ross?" You pick up one of his paintings.

"This is absolutely amazing. How long have you been painting?"

While you were staring at his works, he stared at another work of art. That was you. He loved seeing how excited to see his work and was hoping this won't be the last time he made you excited.

"I've been painting since my teenage years. It's been a hidden talent of mine."

"What other hidden talents do you have?"

"These aren't hidden talents particularly but I can act and make music." He says while starting to grab something from behind a chair.

"I've lucked up huh? I am friends with a multi-talented man who so happens to be very good looking."

"You consider us friends now?"

"Sure why not?" You say while crossing your arms and smiling.

"Well..." He walks over to you with a canvas in hands not facing you.

"I have something for you. It's not my best but I really wanted something done for you tonight."

He flips the canvas around and you become speechless. The canvas was a painting of you. The most lovely picture you've ever seen in your entire life. You couldn't believe that he did this in such a short amount of time. You finally spoke up.

"You...you did this for me? This is me. I don't know what to say this so amazing."

"I was worried you wouldn't quite like it. I did only take a so long. If I would have waited-" You cut him off mid-sentence.

"SHUT UP! I love this so much, Johnny. No one has never done this for me ever! I can tell you took your time with this piece and I treasure it so much."

He just stares at you and smiles.

"Thank you, honestly. That means a lot."

You walk back to his living room and while holding the canvas up you praise him more.

"I'm actually amazed at how accurate you painted me without any reference."

You turn to him and you catch him staring at you.

"Is that why you were staring at me earlier? That's wild! You stared at me for ten minutes and you paint this?! Unbelievable."

He starts to walk over to you.

"As you said, I'm multi-talented and good looking."

He puts his hands in his pockets as he watches you admire the work.

"Honestly, thank you so much, Johnny. This means a lot to me. I will make sure I put this on my wall and pray to it every morning and every night."

You walk over to him and give the biggest hug he has ever had. It takes him by surprise but he finally gives in and puts his arm around you. You rest your head on his chest and you feel him rubbing your head with his hand. You let go of him.

"You know when I walked in here. I was about ready to throw your stereo out that window. But then I realized, without that stereo, we would have never met. So what I'm saying is, thank you for playing your music loud the other night."

You lift your gift up with excitement.

"I would've never got this!"

You get to cheesy very hard and he laughs out loud.

"You're really adorable. Come here."

He pulls you in for another hug and this time while he hugs you he places a kiss your head.

"I hope to spend more time with you Bes. I like you."

You almost have an aneurysm.

He just said he likes me. But I won't tell him that I like him so I don't look desperate.

"I like you too, Johnny.”

Oh.

"How about you go back to your place and sleep because tomorrow I have a plan for our first date."

"Okay, Mr. Planner. Once again thank you for this. Truly adore it."

You both walk over to his door and as you walk out you had a few more things to say.

"I wish I had something for you, but I'm talentless and use-"

"Bes, when I opened my door and saw you standing at my door, I thought you were Gods gift to me. You being around is enough."

You blushed.

"Goodnight Johnny. See you tomorrow." You smile and wave.

"See you tomorrow Bes." He winks.

And after these nights, both of you will become inseparable and you both couldn't wait for what the future holds.
