“Wow, what a gorgeous apartment building.” The moving day arrived, and Jessica stand in front of the building which looks really fancy.
“Alright this the last box. Sorry it took me so long” one off the two movers says that wiping the sweat from his forehead looking exhausted.
“Oh, don’t worry about that. Thank you very much for everything. I can take care of the last box so you two can rest for a bit.”
Knowing that in that box was not a lot of stuff, she lets them take a break and she picks up the box when a motorcycle races passed her and even though he is the one who races way to fast he scream at her:
“Get of the damn road!”
“Well you could have gone a little slower you know.”
Taking off his helmet he looks at her and was ready to murder her. Taking her box, she excuses herself and turns around.
“Wait. What floor are you on?” not sure if she should answer him, he already took the box and walks towards the entrance and to the elevator.
“So which floor?” walking inside the elevator Jessica presses the button for the second floor while thanking him for the help. Letting her out first she doesn’t walk to her apartment instead she says:
“I can carry the box to my apartment thank you for your help.”
Taking the box from him he looks at her and says:
“My name is Luke Wester and my apartment is over there."
Pointing down the hall.
“My name is Jessica Hower, nice to meet you”
The first impression of him was really scary but he is actually a nice guy.
Walking to her apartment she notice the door next door slightly open, knocking at the door, she calls inside the apartment which is dead silent.
“Excuse me! You left your door open!”
Hearing noises from inside she is unsure what to do and was about to call again, when she hears footsteps walking to the door. There standing is a man who looks like he just woke up.
“Who are you?”
“Uhm, my name Jessica Howler. I just moved next door and your door was open, so I wanted to tell you that. I am sorry if I startled you.”
She hopes that he would tell her his name, but instead he looks away silently, following his gaze he looks at the nameplate on the door.
“Anthony Morales, nice to meet you Miss Hower”
“The pleasure is all mine, Mr. Morales. Well have a nice day.” Walking to her apartment, she opens the door and puts the box in her hallway. Not being able to relax, there was a knock at the door, opening the door to find another man at the other side.
“Hello, I am your neighbor Taylor Knight.”
“Uhm hello, my name is Jessica Hower, nice to meet you”
“The pleasure is all mine; I hope we get along Miss Hower.” Holding out his hand, Jessica took it and shakes it.
Saying his goodbyes, he walks back to his apartment with a smile and she notice how good looking he is. Before she can close the door, a man who looks really familiar walks passed her, nodding his head to her.
Noticing how messy his hair is and how he looks like to be in a bad mode she decided to introduce herself another time. Closing the door, she starts to unpack her stuff.
That night she was still not done with unpacking, so she decided to grab dinner at Timeout, the bar and restaurant next door to her apartment building. Jessica can’t believe that such a great restaurant is right next door after she orders her food. The owner of the restaurant is a man in his forties with a friendly smile.
“It’s the first time I see you around.” Hearing a voice next to hear she looks up to the owner with a box in his hand. “Everyone who walks in here for the first time and who orders something can have a box of fried chicken on the house.”
“Yeah, it is my first time here. I just moved into the neighborhood. Thank you so much”
“Just make sure to come back to eat again sometime. Having a young lady like you here brightens my day and my wife will be happy to hear that too, my regular customers are all guys.” Laughing at that he puts the box on the table.
“My name is Dominic Davis by the way”
“Jessica Hower”
“Tell me Jessica, what is a cute young lady like you doing here alone? “
“Well, I just moved to the apartment building next door.”
“The building next door? Isn’t it the building were teachers live?”
“Yeah, I am a teacher myself, but why are you asking?”
“Because I know the perfect guy for you, my dear!” saying that like a typical uncle, Jessica starts laughing.
“Really?”
“That’s right! Uncle Dominic will have it set up in no time! Wait a second”
Going back to the kitchen, Jessica feels a tap on her shoulder, looking back she sees a guy who is clearly drunk, looking at her up and down.
“You are looking for man, honey?”
“What? Uhm no not really hahah” trying to brush him off he sits next to her and takes her hand
“I can tell that you are starving for a man! What do you say about to get to know each other better, hm?”
“Will you please let go of my hand?” trying to free her hand from him, he puts his arm around her shoulders.
“What is your problem girl? I am being to nice to you, so how about you being, grateful for that.”
Suddenly a hand grabs the arm of the guy and a strong voice says to the drunk man:
“Knock it off.”
Peeling the man of Jessica she sees the guy with the messy hair from before.
“Can’t you take a hint? She is not interested. No woman would date a loser like you, no matter how lonely she would feel.”
“What did you just say?! Me, a Loser?!”
“Am I right?” turning to Jessica she stutters:
“W-Well yeah that’s true.”
The drunk guys curses under his breath and stumbles out of the bar.
