Apartment shopping | 037

                                  Alana's POV

"Could you come over to help me look at apartments?" I ask Olivia through the phone.

It's been about a week since I've decided on moving and I still haven't mentioned it to Billie. We've been getting really close and I really like her.

I.. kind of want to ask her to be my girlfriend soon.

Is it too early?

I don't even know.

"Yeah, of course! I can come over in like.. 15 minutes? Is that good?" She asks.

"Yup, that's great." I say to her. "Okay, I'll be there soon. Love you." She says. "Love you, too, Liv." I tell her before hanging up.

I already talked to my landlord about my apartment and I don't have to worry about the selling process or anything, he said he'd take care of it, I guess.

I've been living here for years, so he's super nice to me. I've literally gone to him and his husband's house a few times for birthday parties, barbecues, shit like that.

I go to my messages to text Billie. I'm planning on buying the apartment online if I find one I like today, so I'm gonna tell her soon. Tomorrow might be the day, but I'm really nervous for some reason.

Irl:

Okay, what the fuck? The kissy face emoji? Girl..

She's giving me so many mixed signals recently, so I don't really know what's going on. She keeps going on her phone a lot, giggling and texting someone again, so I'm hoping I'm not just getting led on or whatever.

I'd be low-key pissed because we may or may not have made out a few times again..

Let's not talk about it.

I really like her and I didn't expect this to happen. I'm so worried about this whole thing.

Whatever.

Liv knocks on my door and I get up to open it. "Hey, Livie." I smile at her as I open the door. She walks inside and I shut it. "Hey." She responds, setting her stuff down. "Okay, I am seriously so excited to help you find an apartment. New York City apartments are fucking awesome." She squeals excitedly, making me laugh.

"I know, I'm so happy." I giggle as we walk to my room and lay on my bed. Rocky comes in and sits in the middle of us. "Oh shit, I just totally forgot that you moving means that Rocky is leaving, too! I'm gonna miss this little baby so much." She frowns, petting him.

"I forgot about that too," I sigh. "God, I'm gonna miss you and Co so much." I say and Liv tilts her head to the side, knowing I have more to say. "Okay, and Billie." I laugh and she smirks.

"You really like her, Lana, don't you?" She smiles and I nod slowly. "Damn, I would've never expected that, honestly." She chuckles and I roll my eyes.

"What about all of the 'Oh, Alana, just admit you like her! Alana, you guys are in your enemies to lovers trope! Alana and Billie would be so cute together!' blah blah blah?" I mock her.

"Okay, yeah, but like, I never thought you'd go through with it." She scoffs and I laugh. "True." I shrug. "Anyways, let's get to looking for apartments!" I say with a smile.

I pull out my laptop and start searching.

"Ooh, that one's really cute!" Liv points to one as we look through the pictures. "Eh, it's not my favorite, let's keep looking." I say and she nods.

After about an hour, we find the perfect one. It's a sky rise apartment and it has a view of the city. There's two bedrooms, two bathrooms and it's all really pretty. I can already tell I'm going to love it.

Rent is low-key expensive, but it shouldn't be a problem. I look up the apartment building's landlord's number and I call them.

The call rings twice and a woman picks up. "Hello?" She says. "Hi, I'm Alana Williams. I'm calling about your available apartment on the 20th floor. I'd like to rent it." I tell her.

"Oh, ye- wait, did you say Alana Williams?" She gasps. "Uh, yes?" I furrow my eyebrows. "Holy shit, I'm a huge fan! Sorry, this is kind of unprofessional, but I love your music." She chuckles.

"It's no problem! I appreciate it." I say. "So, the apartment?" I ask.

"Oh, yes, sorry. It's still available, are you willing to pay the monthly rent?" She asks me. "Yup. I live in Los Angeles currently, so I probably wouldn't be down in New York until a few weeks, but I can buy it now." I say.

"Perfect, should I send over the documents?" The women asks and I tell her yes. "Okay, could you send me your email and address?"

"Yeah, of course. And what is your name?" I ask her. "Brittany Levine." She replies.

"Alright, thank you so much, Brittany." We end the call and I add her as a contact.

"So?" Liv asks.

"I'm getting the apartment!" I squeal and she gasps, leaning in to hug me. "This is so exciting, Lan! I'm so happy for you!" She says.

"Thank you, Livie." I chuckle and pull away. My smile falters as I notice her expression drops. "What's wrong, Liv?" I ask.

"What about.. Billie?" She quietly mumbles.

"Um, I think I might ask her to be my girlfriend... I think we have something going on." I tell her and her eyes widen, smiling once again. "Okay, you need to update me immediately when you go over tomorrow, come over afterwards if you don't spend the night with her." She winks and I laugh.

"Okay, will do." I nod.

I'm honestly freaking the fuck out about this. I really like Billie and I really want this to work out.

I can't wait for tomorrow.
