The Neighbor
Chapter 5: Part Time Job
Two Days Later...
There's a knock at Angel's door. She goes over and answers it. It's Ethan
Angel: Mr. Burks I mean Ethan hi
Ethan: Sorry to bug you but I was wondering if you could help me with something?
Angel: Yeah sure of course
She leaves her house and follows Ethan to his. She helped put stuff onto shelves and other things he couldn't reach in all the rooms except one
Angel: Anything you help with in here?
She gets ready to grab the knob but he quickly gets in front of her
Ethan: Actually this room is off limits
Angel: Oh yeah I forgot you had books right?
Ethan: Yes... exactly
Angel: What are you? Some kind of writer?
Ethan: Y-Yes I'm a writer
Angel: So your that type of writer. The one who doesn't let anyone read their books. Keeps it very private
Ethan: Exactly
Angel: That's understandable, not judging. What's yours is yours. Is there anything else you need help with?
Ethan: No that should be it. Thank you so much Angel for being so kind
Angel: Anytime Ethan. By the way sorry about the whole shyness when we first met. This is the real me
Ethan: That's good you opened up to me
She laughs
Angel: Yeah, well see ya
She starts walking away
Ethan: Oh wait I almost forgot
He takes his wallet out
Angel: Oh no that's ok. You don't have to do that
Ethan: I insist
He takes out a twenty dollar bill and gives it to her
Ethan: There's more to that if you're interested in helping me some more. Like a part time job
Angel: Hmm...ok then
Ethan: That's great
Angel: I have a feeling we're going to be friends
He smiles
Ethan: Me to
Angel: Just come on by if you need anymore help
Ethan: will do, thanks again
She smiles then leaves. Ethan watches as she goes back into the house then closes the door
