time for an apartment

madeline's pov

a few weeks later and i was on my way to some studio for my first round of fittings and costumes.

it was a saturday morning and after this i had a meeting with my new landlord to sign for and hopefully secure my apartment.

after working a (definitely legal) amount of hours this week i had enough to even buy a mattress tonight if i get it.

im actually very exited.

i walked into the place and was met with alot of stuff actually. rows and rows of outfits, sewing supplies, a platform in the middle, mirrors, dressing rooms all of it.

"hello?" i called into the space.

"ONE SECOND HONEY!" all of a sudden a lady came tripping out of some cupboard.
"you must be madeline" she said once she regained her footing. "oh gosh you're beautiful, you look like a model" she smiled and lead me over to the little platform.

i took my hoodie and jeans off being left in my cami singlet top and some bike shorts. easy to put outfits over the top and comfortable enough.

she first takes my measurements while asking me different questions about what i usually wear, what im comfortable in. anything i'm absolutely opposed to wearing.

"i honestly live in jeans and jumpers but i love dressing up, im not opposed to anything really" i explained and she nodded writing down another measurement.

"what's your favourite shop for clothing?"
"i make a lot of my clothes or find them thrifting" because i can't afford new clothes "so i couldn't really tell you"

she laughed and kept asking me more questions. about me and the clothes i make. after she had everything she filed it and passed me some outfits.

"so we still haven't decided an overall wardrobe for your character yet, so we're after some if your input in what you're comfortable in so try these on and we will go from there" she said passing me outfits in different clothes hangers.

i tried on different styles and outfits letting her take photos after each one.

After just over 2 hours we were done and she said that she would stay in contact and gave me her number directly.

i had to start saving all these people in my phone as their name and position so i could remember it all.

after the appointment it was lunch time and i decided to just eat the nacho chips and dip in the park before heading to hopefully "my" apartment.

i met with marlyn who is an older woman and she seems very lovely. "you're young aren't you" she smiled while heading up to the apartment.

it was on the 5th floor which was cute but i hope the elevator always works. she was telling me all sorts of things and i tried my best to pay attention.

"washer and dryers are down stairs, there is laundry detergent but a well dressed girl like yourself probably has a preference" she smiled "it's only 25 cents a load since it hasn't changed since the building opened. however it is owned by my brother in law so i can't help you if the prices go up im afraid"

i nodded along and eventually we reached my apartment. she unlocked it and it was everything i wanted.

"loft space up there, the previous tenants used the downstairs as a library, kitchen was just redone last year so no problems there. she showed me further in. this is the bathroom in here. and a larger closet space here" she showed me the two other doors.

"it's perfect" i smiled spinning around "are the people here nice?" i questioned.

"oh very, there's a group of girls across the hall and a lovely gay couple a couple doors down"

"and the rent is still..." i trailed off waiting for her to answer.

"1,200 a month or 300 ish a week darling" she said and i nodded. it's to be expected for here. "i have the forms here if you're ready?" she said and i nodded walking over to the kitchen counter.

i signed and gave her the first payment. from then on she left me her number, the repair guys and a little booklet.

once she was gone i kind of just stood in the middle of the space in awe. i have my first apartment, in new york. alone.

i can't believe it. there has to be a catch. there always is with something this good but ill enjoy it while it lasts.

oh my gosh now i get to go buy stuff for my apartment and decorate and everything.
currently there's a lot of exposed brick which is extremely cool. and i already know how i want to decorate it will just take a while to get everything.

my phone started ringing and i picked it up.

"hey is this madeline?" god how many people have my number. before i could ask who it was they continued.

it was the director on call to me who had just finished talking to the writers. anyway he was calling to tell me we have a meeting on wednesday evening. then a table read friday night.

my life is about to be a whole lot busier.

i locked up my apartment. god my apartment. and headed back downstairs to my car. calling nola i wanted to see what she's up to.

"hey madz what's up" she smiled.
"we have some shopping to do" i said grinning. i never willingly go shopping with her.

"oh my god, miss i save everything is spending money. willingly. who are you and what have you done with my madeline" i just laughed at her words

"where are you i'll pick you up"
"oh im already driving, ill meet you there" we agreed to meet by a mattress store and she was very confused but just kept making jokes about caleb and i. which was ridiculous.

when i parked my car i got another call and i answered it without looking. it was probably nola wondering where i was.

"madeline!"
