LIANE

    This morning I make my way across the country to live with my brother and his roommate in Italy. I'm going to be modeling on the side with one of their friends, but the main this is that I had finally decided to give my dream of being an author a chance and this was the perfect place to do it.

I got off the plane after the longest flight of my life and started heading towards baggage claim when I saw my brother standing there waiting for my arrival.

"Liane!" He said waving his arms frantically ensuring that I notice his presence.

I waved back slightly, trying not to draw attention to the fact that the crazy guy belonged to my bloodline.

"You do realize your causing a scene right Matthew?" I said giving him a tight hug, it had been a while since I'd seen my brother and even though he drove me mad, it was nice to be on the same continent.

"Oh please, you'd be lost without me" he replied smugly, he was right of course, If it wasn't for him I would be a 25 year old living in my parents basement right about now, but I'd never admit it.

"Yeah yeah, let's just get my bags" I said with an eye roll as I walked over to the luggage carousel.

We got my bags and headed towards the car. Matthew was a pastry chef but he still had a decent car, a navy blue, 2019 Honda Accord. He put my stuff in the back while I hopped in the passenger seat. A moment later he slams the trunk and gets in starting the car.

The whole way back to his apartment I starred out the window at the beautiful place that was now my home.

Soon we arrived at a small apartment building and parked on the street. Matthew got our first and went around the back to get my bags. I got out of the car looking up at the building amazed that I was going to live here. Everything was so beautiful here, I know I'll get plenty of inspiration.

Matthew shut the trunk and I grab one of the suit cases as I follow him inside.

No stairs. You've gotta be kidding me.

It's then that Matthew decided to inform me that his apartment is on the top floor, at least the building is only 4 stories tall.

"You gonna make it?" Matt laughed as he watched me struggle up each step

"Haha very funny, I've got it." I rolled my eyes and continued tugging my bag up each step.

We finally make it to the top and my arms and fingers ache from carrying my suite case, that on top of the jet lag had me wanting to do nothing but collapse.

We walked down the hallway and Matt stopped at a door that read 4D, he knocked twice before getting out his key and unlocking the door.

He pushed the door open and walked inside holding it open for me. I walked inside slowly taking everything in. His apartment was nothing like I would have pictured it. The floor was hard wood and there was a large kitchen to the right with a dining table that only had room for 4 people, passed that was a short hallway and to the left there was 2 doors along the wall, leading to what I imagine is bedrooms. There was a living room in the middle of it all with a giant window that had long sage green curtains hanging from it.

"This place is beautiful" I beamed as I walked further inside.

"You can thank Grayson for that" he replied.

"Your roommate?" I questioned. I had never met the guy and Matt pretty much mentioned him once in a blue moon.

"Yup-" he was interrupted by his cell phone ringing, "I'll be right back your room is down the hall on the left" he whispered while holding the phone away from his ear.

I made my way down the hall and opened the first door.

Nope,bathroom.

I opened the next door and sure enough there was my room. Decorated only with a clock on the wall, a bed side dresser, and maroon curtains. The bed was made with all white pillows and blankets, this place could definitely use some touch ups on my part.

I set my bag down at the end of the bed, kicked off my shoes and jumped face first into the soft pillows.

"Hey Liane" Matt called as he walked closer to my room. "I've gotta go to the bakery for a while, you gonna be alright here?"

"Yeah I'll be fine" now that he was leaving I couldn't wait to take a nap, I was exhausted and I wanted nothing more.

With that Matt left the apartment and I finally had some time to relax.

3hrs later

I woke up feeling way better and made my way into the kitchen. It still seemed that no one was home so I decided that I would play some music while I cooked myself some dinner.

I danced around the kitchen with my spatula singing along to every song that came on.

"Midnight memories oh oh oh oh oh" I belted stop the top of my lungs and I flipped my grilled cheese in its pan. Then I grabbed my phone to text Matt.

Liane: There anywhere good to go dancing around here

Matt: There's a place about a block away called H.E.S , if you go be careful.

Liane: Great thanks!

I pulled up google maps on my phone and navigated to the night club, it was only a 5 minute walk. I decided I would head there way 11. I needed something to do in the meantime, and unpacking my bags would be a good idea considering I would need something to wear.

After an hour I had all my things sorted out and put into my closet and dresser drawers. I also picked out and put on my outfit for H.E.S, it was a little black dress that hugged my waist perfectly, accentuating the curve of my hips and ass. I quickly put on some make up and small heals and started making my way to the club.
