My city romance

       

" Summer I don't want this me and your father have thought over it like you asked and you are not moving I don't like the idea of you being so far what if something happens-"

  "Mum I told you and dad I was moving not asked, if you want to help with the rent then fine but with or without your approval I'm moving to New York I'm old enough to leave home now and I don't need you and dad babysitting ME okay"

  I was due to leave for my flight to New York which is in two hours and waiting for a taxi but as I stand waiting at the door with my bags in hand my mum is still trying to change my mind about my sudden move to my favorite city with my dad stood behind her.

"Beep beep" I turned to see the taxi outside

  "Right mum, dad that's my taxi" I say trying to get away of this house that suffocates me the more ever minute I say there.

  You see after I finished high school I was shipped off to Europe by my parents for a 3 years and only getting a post card now and again from them , when I got home only 2 months after returning I decided I couldn't live there anymore.

"Summer if you walk out of that door you will not hear from me or your father again!!!" She shouted frustrated knowing that she is not getting her own way
  "It's not like you care anyway I was in Europe for 3 years ON MY OWN, ALONE!!! And how many post cards from you and dad did I get ?, 6 telling me how your having a great time on your many extravagant holidays and at Christmases, and how many phone calls did I get none!, I got one shitty texts saying that you hope I have a good birthday when I was 18, And don't tell me they wouldn't allow me to take calls because every night Carla called to see how I was doing every fucking night for 3 fucking year she is more family to me than my own parents!!!" By the time I was finished the colour had drained out of my mum's face and my mum look on her face and my dad was no where to be seen.

I turned round and headed to the taxi I could hear her shouting me when I was inside but I couldn't stand to look at her I could feel tears welling up in my eyes but held them back knowing they wasn't worth it.

After getting off the plane I headed to my new apartment which wasn't to far from the airport having brought my belongings and bike a couple of weeks ago ( yes I ride a motorbike)  knowing then I would only need to bring the clothes I had kept with me until I moved.

  The apartment wasn't huge but it wasn't tiny it was just right for me and my new roommate which I haven't met yet but have messaged when I advertised for a roommate about month ago when I started looking for a place to live also making sure I'd have a job to start as soon as I moved.

  By the time I got to apartment it was getting late so it was in complete darkness when I entered knowing that my roommate was turning up in a couple of days, I flicked the lights on walked over to my room, put my bags down and getting into bed and falling into dream land as soon as I hit the pillow.

  Next morning ......

  I was awoken by the sound of the a door closing and the sound of a blender sitting up I looked at my phone saying it was only 5:30 am remembering that I locked the door last night I got up and heading to my door that leads to the living room I quietly open my door looking around the room, that's when I noticed the light on, I grabbed baseball bat the I had in my room.

  I opened the door to see a tall man standing in the kitchen with his back to me bracing myself I held the bat ready to hit if I needed to.

  "Who are you what are you doing in my flat!" The guy turned around he look shocked but also amused.

"Hey chill but the bat down this is my flat okay" he said holding his hands up

  "No it isn't this is my flat I just moved in last night"

"No it's my flat!" By now we where both face to face with me still holding the bat in hand

  "If you don't explain I'm calling the police" I looked dead into his eyes to show I was serious

  "Okay chill this is my flat my roommate is due to move in today my name is Kyle, Kyle Jacob's, Are you sure you have the right place??" lowering the bat now I just realized what is going on

"But I thought you weren't arriving until the day after tomorrow"

"What ?" He said confusion clear across his face

  "I'm Summer your roommate remember we emailed a couple of times"

  "Wait what !! your Summer ?? But I thought you weren't due till tomorrow" he said now looking less confused and a little shocked

  "Yh I got an earlier flight so it got me in late last night, I thought you went arriving until the day after tomorrow ?"

"I decided to come earlier and get settled in before you arrived and make sure all of my shit was out the way" looking around I notice a lot more boxes than what I brought a couple of weeks ago

  "Ohhh I mustn't have noticed the boxes last night sorry about that" I said sitting on the bat stool next to the kitchen island

"Its fine I was getting worried that I had got the wrong flat with some girl chasing after me with a baseball bat hahah" he said chuckling to himself and sitting across from me

"Yh sorry about that it's like my go to weapon if I ever get burgled hahah" I said resting the bat on my shoulder

  "Well our meet and greet didn't really go as I expected but I'm Kyle Jacob's and I'm 22 and your new fat mate " he said holding his hand out to me and smiling he had deep chocolate brown eyes and brownish blond hair that was all over the place which probably means he just got up.

"I'm Summer Waters and I'm 21 nice to meet you Kyle" I said taking his hand.
From that moment I had a feeling I was going to enjoy my new life and that I was were I was meant to be.
