After work, I decided to just stay inside and clean up. I still haven't really settled into my apartment. I feel like I've been working since I moved to Chicago and when I'm not working I'm at DeVale's house. There's nothing wrong with spending time with someone you're trying to get to know but I want us to take it slow. Especially, since I just got the real scoop on him and his next. I know it's none of my business and I shouldn't be worried about his past but I have a right to know who I'm dating. I don't date to date anymore. I'm dating to marry one day, I want to find my soulmate.
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"Coming." I said putting one of my boxes down.
I walked quickly to the door and looked through the peep hole. I didn't recognize the man at my door but he was holding an envelope. So I opened the door and looked him up and down. He was so sexy. His height, his eyes, even his bald head was attractive.

"Yes?" I ask looking at the tall, very handsome man.
"Are you Crystal?" He asked.
I squinted. "Um that depends on who's asking." I say shaking my head.
He chuckled and held up the envelope. "I got your mail." He said. "I know everyone else on the floor so I figured the new person who just moved in had to be you, Crystal." He said handing me the envelopes.
I smile softly, "Thank you." I say trying not to be awkward.
"So, where are you from?" The man asked me.
"I'm from Tennessee. What about you? Are you from Chicago?" I ask him.
"Uh no I'm from Manhattan." He said. "Well I'm sure you got stuff to do so I'm gonna head back to my place. Have a good night." He said.
"Yeah good night. It was nice meeting you...?"
"Boris." He said holding his hand out.
I smiled as I shook his hand. "It was nice meeting you."
