I stood infront of the new apartment complex that I would be living in almost mesmerized by the scene as I took it in before walking inside with by luggage. Once I walked in I already noticed some people walking in and out of the elevators. I walk with my heels over to the elevator with some people already there, I get in the elevator and push the button with the number 5 which I assumed meant the fifth floor.

Soon I arrive at my floor and go to find my bedroom soon seeing 2 men in suits leaning against a wall and then I decide to simply walk up to them and ask them if they have seen room 521.

"Excuse me?" I say in hopes to sound polite "do you know where room 521 is?" I ask them causing them both to glance at me.

"Sure it's right down that hallway" The man who was on the right leaning against the wall said in a rather deep but not so deep voice, I mean. He sounded nice enough.

"Alright thankyou" I say nodding and then walking off to the way he pointed.

Soon enough I reach my apartment and 2 hours later finish unpacking. That's when I heard a sharp knock on my door. I turn my head slightly startled by the sudden knock.

I quickly get up and walk over to the door opening the door peeking through the small hole that I made "yes?" I ask to whom was behind the door.

"Hey, I'm Damien. Your neighbor." The person behind the door said in a deep voice almost like he doesn't even wanna be here talking with me

"Oh, nice. I'm Naomi" I say opening my door further open so I could see the man behind my door and so he could see me.

I looked at him and noticed he had a black suit on, he had blackish hair and a sort of necklace on his neck with a watch on his wrist. He looks kinda hot I thought and realised while he looks fancy I'm just in a basic sweatpants and hoodie outfit so much for being comfortable on the plane I think to myself again.

"So, Naomi how old are you?" He asks as I snap out of my trance and look up at him.

"Oh I'm 21, what about you?" I ask and then start observing everything about him more. His body language, the way he talks, his posture. Why does he look so.. fancy? Even though he's meeting his neighbour this isn't normal behaviour... I think to myself as I zone out before I hear a half annoyed voice say.

"Are you even listening to me?" I hear Damien say as I have to look at him again his eyes seemingly cold but also... Captivating. Those brown golden eyes.

"Tch, pathetic" I hear him say and I finally snap my attention to him.

"Oh sorry what were you saying?" I ask finally sounding interested in what he's saying and not staring like a freak whose obsessed over him.

"I said I'm 23" he says glaring down at me as I just nod along to what he says before saying.

"That's nice I suppose, wanna hang out next Sunday?" I ask him hoping that he would say yes but also no because of the way he glared at me.

"Sure, what's your number?" He says his gaze softening the slightest bit as he still has that cold glare on his face.

"Okay, here you go" I hand him my phone over so he can look and put in his number.

He types in his number into my phone and hands the phone back to me. "There you go" he says before turning around and leaving without another word.

I just look at his retrieving body before looking at my phone and back at him as he turns the corner towards the elevator.

I close the door before hopping on the shower and then back to bed with a long shirt with short sleeves and some socks (yes we will sleep in socks).

As the morning rolls around I wake up to my phone ringing for what seemed to be the one hundredth time this morning.

I lazily pick up my phone as it seemed my hands were too weak to even hold up my phone as I pick up the call.

"Hello?" My voice hoarse at it sounds out through the room in an echo.

"Where have you been?! I have been calling you 10 times already!" My friend's voice sounds out. She seems atleast somewhat frustrated at me not answering my phone.

"I was asleep until you woke me up" I groan as I roll out of bed and stand up my legs still weak from the long night's sleep.

"Well you sure like to sleep, don't you?" She laughs through the phone, "How's your settling in going? I'm thinking of going to a club tonight if you're up for that"

"Ugh, I don't know about that. I still have a lot of stuff to unpack and to buy groceries" I complain as I stride over to one of my luggages on a mission to find something atleast appropriate for the streets.

"oh come on, girl! You have to have fun, it's LA after all!" She goes on and on trying to convince me.

"Fine! Fine. I'll go, send me the address" I grumble still half-asleep for the sudden call and having to wake up.

I don't even hear a 'goodbye' or 'okay' just the beep that signals that she hung up.

I groan in frustration and and find some clothes for tonight and also for the day. I pick out a crop top and some black jeans with high heels along with an oversized zip up hoodie to top it all off. And for the night I pick out a tight beige coloured dress that fits tightly along all of my curves and a slight slit on the side.

Once I put on my day clothes I start unpacking. Putting my clothes in sections to keep it all organized putting up a few paintings and putting my books on the desk and some other stuff along with that and a few hours later I finish.

I feel my phone buzz in my pocket signaling a text. I slide my phone out of my pocket and turn it on seeing a text from Damien.

I click on the text as my phone unlocks and opens the text. "Hey, wanna go on a walk to a café to get to know each other more? You're quite fascinating" I read the text ou'loud and smile to myself at the last part.

"Yeah, ofcourse! And I have to admit you're quite interesting too" I text him back slightly nervous for what he will say as my leg bounces anxiously as I wait for his text.

"Great. I'll be waiting for you outside the apartment complex." I read the text and immediately jump to my feet as excitement fills up my body with adrenaline.

Looks like I'm in for an adventure today...
