Rude Awakenings
Kate just wants a good night's sleep, but her neighbor, Colton, is determined to make that impossible with his nightly escapades. She’s tired of the constant noise and his arrogant attitude, yet there's an undeniable, infuriating pull between them. Can she resist the bad boy next door, or will their fiery clashes ignite something she never expected?The rhythmic creak and thud from next door was Kate's unwelcome alarm clock, a familiar symphony of her neighbor's nocturnal activities. Another sleepless night. She dragged herself from bed, the faint moans from Colton's apartment seeping through the thin wall, a constant reminder of her mounting exhaustion. Clutching a glass of water, she nursed it slowly, willing the noise to subside. When it didn't, a frustrated groan escaped her lips.
"Fuck off!" she pounded on the wall, anger flaring.
"Put a sock in her mouth, for the love of God, Colton!" she yelled, the words laced with a desperate plea for silence. "I'm considerate, you asshole! Some people have to work in the morning, so keep it down!"
The immediate silence that followed brought a smug smile to her face. Finally. She drifted back to sleep, a small victory won. But the peace was short-lived. The next morning, a casual encounter in the hallway shattered it, igniting a new kind of battle with the infuriatingly handsome man next door.
