Chapter 74

***25 votes please homies😁😎***

My phone rings as I finish pumping gas into my car from the first gas station I came across upon entering the city of New York. I close the tank and pull my phone out of my pocket.

"Hey Alex!" I smile as I hold the phone between my ear and shoulder while getting out my wallet.

"Hey Macie! I just called to see if you were getting close yet?"

"Yeah, I'm actually already in the city I just had to stop for gas. I'll probably be at the apartment in like twenty minutes depending on traffic." I swipe my card and slip it back into my wallet as the receipt is being printed out.

"Great! I'm already here, so text me when you arrive. I'll help you carry up your stuff."

"Sounds good! See you soon!"

"Okay, bye!"

"I'm so excited, ah! Bye!" I squeal and end the call. I rapidly hop back in my car and start the engine, turning out of the lot and into the busy streets of New York City.

I pull up at a red light and quickly plug in the aux cord and shuffle my New York playlist consisting of Jay-Z "Empire State of Mind", Frank Sinatra "New York, New York", Billy Joel "New York State of Mind" and Taylor Swift "Welcome to New York". What can I say, I come prepared.

"It's been waiting for you
Welcome to New York
Welcome to New York."

The last Taylor Swift lyric plays as I pull up in the front of the tall tan building that I'm going to be calling home for the next while.

To: Alex🎯
I'm here, can u open the garage for me pls?

From: Alex🎯
Will do, be down in a sec

I drive around to the side of the building and wait a minute before the heavy white door is lifted from the ground and I move forward and into the empty parking space next to Alex's car. I take out my keys and open my door only to be bombarded with a hug as soon as I exit my vehicle.

"Macie!"

"Alex!" I giggle as he lifts me up and spins me around. "I'm so thrilled to be here! Not to sound like a basic bitch or anything but literally I can't even right now, omg!"

"Now all you need is some Starbucks and Ugg boots in July, then you'll be ready to go!"

"Shut up!" I playfully slap his chest as he lets me go and I open my trunk. "Can you help me unload all my shit please?" I smile and bat my eyelashes.

"Fine." He sighs sarcastically and rolls his eyes before stepping forward and filling his arms with bags. "Ugh, I was hoping we could make it in one trip. You girls and your over packing."

"Shut up Alex!" We both laugh as I myself grab a load of bags and shut the trunk.

"Uh Macie, the elevator's this way." Alex nods towards the opposite direction than I was headed.

"I knew that." I raise my eyebrow and follow him out of the garage and into the elevator.

"Sixth floor." He instructs for me to push the button when the doors close. I do so and wait as we're carried up and the doors open once again.

"What number?"

"602. It's this first one here to the left." I turn the handle and push the door open to finally see the actual apartment. It's even nicer in person.

"Damn, this place is really nice!"

"Right? Now let's toss these in your room and go grab the rest of the stuff. I thought you might want the room with the attached bathroom, so it's the last one down the hall on the left."

"Aw, thanks for considering my feminine needs."

"Ew, gross." We both laugh as we set down the bags and I look around. The black and white theme of the room looks absolutely magnificent yet simple. We turn around and head back downstairs to retrieve the rest of my luggage.

"Let's go shopping after this. I want to get stuff to decorate my room." I tell Alex as I grab the last box out of the trunk and lock my car.

"Sure. Let's buy some picture frames and shit so we can actually get photos developed."

"Omg, I brought my Polaroid! We can take a bunch of cute pics and get one of those little collage picture frame things!"

"Okay, I'm actually really stoked about this."

"Me too! Let's hurry up so we can go!" I push the 6 button and wait eagerly until we reach our floor and throw my stuff in my room.

"To Target!" Alex declares and swings the set of keys around his finger, catching them in his hand. I laugh silently to myself, drawing his attention. "What?"

"Alex from Target."

"Oh my god, do you know how many times I've already gotten that? Even my mom calls me that when we go to the store."

"Ha! Sucks to be you! Now let's go!" I grab Alex's hand and pull him out the door.

...

"Should I get the rug? Scratch that, I'm getting the rug." I pull a dark purple carpet off the shelf and toss it in my cart next to the light purple and mint green decorative pillows I decided I needed.

"Wait, get this too. It'll match the pillows." Alex hands me a mint green lamp shade which I don't hesitate to add to my collection.

"What'd you get?" I go over to his cart and dig though his items.

"I grabbed some picture frames and a carpet and shit."

"Oh! We should probably also get some practical supplies like towels and toilet paper and laundry detergent."

"Dammit, I forgot that living on your own requires you to actually have responsibilities." He laughs and pushes his cart over to the laundry detergent isle.

"You grab this stuff, I'll go get us some dishes and we can pick out food together after."

"Okay. But no square glasses. That's shit's not normal."

"Agreed. See you in a bit." I head off to the next isle to grab my required items.

"Omg, that's Macie Taylor!" I hear someone say behind me as I throw a set of cutlery in my cart. I turn around to see two girls probably a few years younger than me with their phones out.

"Um... Hey, you're Macie, right?" One of the girls asks nervously.

"Yeah, hey! What's up?" I smile as they walk over to me.

"We literally love you so much! I totally forgot you were moving to New York."

"Haha, ya! I just got here today. I'm moving in with my friend Alex actually. He's somewhere around here." I hug them both briefly and watch their facial expressions change.

"Wait, he? What happened with you and Danny? You guys were my otp, don't tell me you broke up!"

"Gosh no! Danny and I are still together, Alex is just a friend."

"Does Danny know that you're living with another guy?"

"Uh, yeah." I laugh awkwardly and stuff my hands in my pockets.

"And he's okay with it? He's not jealous or anything?"

"No, not really. Um, I actually have to grab a few more things, but it was really nice meeting you guys! Do you want a picture?" The girls nod and I smile as they snap a few pics.

"Thanks so much Macie!" They wave as they walk away and I see Alex pass them as he comes towards me.

"Fans?" He laughs and I nod. "How about we  go grab some food."
