After two hours long ride we finally reached New York. I sleep all the way tightly clutching Noah's hand in mine but he didn't mind. Then he booked two cabs for us in one cab it was Mary and me and in the other was him. After half an hour we reached our apartment building. Both army and I stepped out of the car. She started helping Noah with the bags whereas I was looking at the tall building in front of us.
It must have 60 floors, I went inside with one bag. There was a girl at the reception table. She smiled at me once she saw me and I smiled back while I was looking around at the lobby and the architecture of the place. This place screams luxury, which I have only seen in movies or the five-star hotels where we stay when we go on vacations.
I was looking up at the huge chandelier when I was knocked into a wall, I groaned loudly as I fell back. I looked up to curse at the wall but only there wasn't any wall ahead. There was nothing in front of me but only a faint smell of men's perfume around me, I looked around to see a man in a black leather jacket walking towards the elevator without even saying sorry or even helping me up. He was the one I was knocked in, I huffed and glared at his back as he waited for the elevator to come.
"Hey you, stupid hard wall" I called him but he ignored me, he went in the elevator as the door opened and only then I was able to see him as he was looking straight at me with those deep ocean blue eyes which pierce through my soul. He looked so intimidating that I wanted to stand back but the stupid person in me won't let anyone intimidate me so I stood up and glared at him.
"Don't you have eyes you stupid, crazy, idiot, lunatic, prick...." He only narrowed his eyes at me and then lift the door closed. I went silent and felt humiliated as I sensed eyes on me. I looked around to see the receptionist and some other people looking at me and they looked scared and eyed me as if I am crazy.
"What?" I yelled at them and they looked away as they went their way. I was frowning when Noah and Mary came in.
"What happened?" Noah was by my side in an instant.
"A hard wall happened, a guy knocked into me and I fell and you know what is crazy he didn't even help me or even apologize. Instead, he glared back at me as if it was my mistake" I yelled and Noah sighed and assessed me to see if I got hurt.
"You have to get used to this because most of the people here are like this," he said and went to the reception, he talked to the receptionist and she gave him the keys to our apartment. He signed a few papers and then we head towards the elevator, our apartment was on the 15th floor and this building has 60 floors.
My mood was spoiled because of that one guy and I was angry. But that anger went away as soon as I stepped inside our apartment. Our apartment number was 1502, there are almost 5 apartments on each floor but the 60 th floor has a penthouse which belongs to the owner of this building, Mr Langstone.
"Wow," I said as I walked inside the apartment when you enter you instantly met with a medium-sized living room, with a couch in the middle and two chairs on each side. There was also a small dining table of four on the left side. There was a led on one wall but the other wall in front of me was glass from where you can see the whole city.
On my left side was an open kitchen and ib the right was a hallway with four doors, three bedrooms and one bathroom. I chose the master bedroom with an attached bathroom. The room was big but not like my room back home. But it was good with white-themed walls and furniture.
"I love it," I said as I jumped on Noah who chuckled lightly.
"Go freshen up, I will go and buy something to eat," he said.
"We will do grocery shopping tomorrow," he told Mary who nodded at him. I went to my room, and a few minutes later two men came with our bags which we left in the lobby.
I freshen up and we had dinner, Noah brought Chinese food for us. After that, we all went to sleep and I went to my new room where I will spend almost five years.
***********
The rest of the days went with unpacking and buying necessary things for the house. Tomorrow is Monday and it would be my first day at college Noah will also leave tomorrow and I will miss him. He make everything so easy these few days, he showed me a few places so if we need anything it would be easy for us.
Everything from here is within walking distance, even my university is a few blocks away about 10 minutes walk away. On Friday we visited the University and he showed me my classes and we met with a few of my teachers too.
New York is a big city and is always busy. The only thing that still makes me queasy is crossing the roads, the traffic is awful here. They don't stop no matter what for you. I even saw an accident yesterday and the people didn't even blink at it. Noah pulled me away from that place not letting me look at the person who died on spot.
He guided me on how I should wait for the crosswalk light before crossing the light. He looked so scared because I am very poor at crossing roads. I get nervous while crossing but I think I will manage.
I was waiting for his call but he didn't call me all day and I was getting worried if he is alright or just busy. I didn't call myself because he had told me to never text or call him. So I sat impatiently waiting for his call but it was 10 at night so I sighed and laid down on the bed. I was sad and almost about to cry when my phone rang and I picked it up without looking at the caller's name.
"Hey, where were you? You know how worried I was... I thought something happened to you and ... I know you might be busy but still... you could have sent a text. I wanted to call you but you have already told me not to ... and.." I was rambling when I heard a heavy sigh.
"I was out of the city" he only said and I frowned, he looked off.
"Are you okay?" I asked him. He hummed in response.
"I am tired so I will talk to you next week," he said and with that, he hung up and I sat there holding the phone in my hand and was looking at the phone. What happened to him? He wasn't fine. Is he sick or sad or hurt?
I kept asking myself what happened to him and prayed that God makes his problems go away and make him happy! I forced myself not to text him because he doesn't like it when I text him. So with a sigh, I laid down and tried to sleep but my mind was still on him. I wanted to tell him that tomorrow would be my first day and I like New York but... I closed my eyes not wanting to think more about it. I have to wait for next Sunday now!
