You could feel the gushing wind onto your face as you drove on your motorbike to the other side of the water on the Manhattan bridge . This was the way to Brooklyn and this was where you would start your new life .

New York seemed busy to you but yet so lonely as you didn't know anyone except your cousin Amy Santiago who worked in the same place to where your new job was so you weren't completely lonely in the new place .

Your apartment wasn't too fancy but Brooklyn is expensive and this apartment was perfect for just one person to live in and quite affordable since an old lady died there around a year ago .

As you parked your motorbike you caught a glimpse of a man walking on the other side of the street but as soon as you took your helmet off he noticed you and began walking towards you . As you got off your motorbike you heard a voice .

"Hey haven't seen round here before "

"Yeah I just moved here "

"From England ?"

"How do you. . ?"

Cutting you off he said " I can tell by your accent "

"I have an accent ?" You never realised you had an accent until he pointed it out . Seemed pretty strange as you always thought you just spoke... well...normally .

"Hell yeah it's really obvious . Anyway is that one yours ?" He said while pointed to the apartment that had a sign in the window that said 'sold' .

"Yep that's the one "

"That's cool I live right down there "he pointed to an apartment building down the street . " I gotta get going I have important work to do , do you want my number in case you need anything ? or not it's fine "

"I think I'm good for now thanks "

"No problem I gotta run bye , hope to see you some other time " he said while walking away with a smile on his face .

"Bye ! Hope to see you too !"

A huge smile formed on your face while unlocking to door to the building . 'He's so cute ' you thought to yourself . Maybe you weren't that lonely in the big city after all .

As you set your alarm for 6.30 while sitting in an empty room on a half deflated air mattress you couldn't stop thinking about the guy you met earlier that day . You didn't know who he was nor knew his name but yet you knew that he was charming and kind .

After some time you went to sleep ready for the first day of your new job .
