Little Things

008

I thought Mrs. Jones lived with her husband at the other apartment, was this their daughter coming from college or something? I don't remember them moving out or anything..

"Hey, do you mind helping me out a bit? I've been doing this for an hour and I really want to speed up the process" They said. They're voice was so husky, it sounded attractive.

"Oh yeah, of course! I'll just put my things inside and I'll help you" I pull out my wallet that happened to have a keychain where I keep my keys and slowly jiggle it in the doorknob.

"I know I don't control whatever you do but don't you think it's a bad idea to put your keys and wallet in the same chain? Like if someone steals your wallet, they now also have access to your apartment"

"Oh.. Well I just,, I keep my wallet safe but yeah maybe I should change that.." I cleared my throat, trying to hurry unlocking my door. When I finally get it open, I rush to my bedroom to put my things inside.

I finally walk out, still wondering what happened to Mr. and Mrs. Jones. They were greeting me good morning yesterday so did someone move in that quickly?

"I'll take the heavy boxes, you can take the sorta light ones, I guess? I put a lot of the really light ones in first to try and speed the process but it didn't work" They chuckled, handing me a box. "Just set it down on the floor inside, I can unbox them myself"

After a couple tens of boxes that I helped them put  inside,  we both collapse on the couch at the end, feeling tired.

"Do you want water? I can get some" They offered, getting up from their seat

"Yeah, water would be great. Thanks"

They went over to the fridge, grabbing two water bottles and handed one to me before sitting down on the couch again.

"Thanks for helping me with the boxes, by the way" They thanked me "Oh and my name is Siren! Actually my real name is Syreen but my parents nicknamed me Siren because it sounded similar"

"Oh my name is Daphne! Syreen sounds like such a pretty name" We shook hands, cheering our wwater bottles before drinking it together. "So what made you move to Miami? More specifically this apartment complex? Not to be rude or anything"

"Oh well I grew up in Colorado and my parents used to live here.. Do you know Julia and Damien Jones?"

"Oh yeah! Mr. and Mrs. Jones were really nice to me.. And you're their daughter?"

"Yup! I got accepted to go to University of Central Florida because my parents don't want me to stay in Colorado and I couldn't find a place to stay so my parents told me to just let me stay in their apartment in Miami while they stay in Colorado" They explained "You can go if you need to do something, I'll go unbox some things"

I sat up on the couch, staring at the ground contemplating if I should continue helping or not. I mean, I still had things to do... I think..

"Alright, I hope you enjoy Miami" I shook their hand one last time and went back to my apartment.

I kid you not, I started kicking my feet and doing little jumps after finally getting in a room alone. They are so respectfully attractive that I respectfully want to die.

I went into my bedroom, shutting the door behind me and my phone was still exploding with notifications. It was like putting it in silent didn't help at all.

I grabbed my phone and turned it on to my lockscreen and all the notifications either came from Kai, Nick or the groupchat. They were annoying sometimes and I love them for it.
