VIOLETS POV

I was still so curious about that one guy that came up to me, well.. I guess my neighbor now but I couldn't let that get to me since today I had to meet up with my new manager. Thats where I was on my way to right now.

I headed down to the coffee shop he instructed me to meet him at, it was literally in time square so I guess it was pretty easy to find. It was called Java

Once I finally found it, I peeked in through the glass, the whole building was glass with one wall of brick, damn. If someone threw ONE rock, that whole cafe would be shit out of luck.

I looked in seeing a tall man sitting with a coffee in his hand looking around, that must be him. It looked like him from the website. I walked in trying not to get pushed around since this place was PACKED. It was insane. Lets just say there were TONS of crying babies and mothers with large expressos in their hands chatting to each other with huge bags under their eyes, and tech nerds, you get it, right?

I made my way across the cafe to him, his and mines eyes met and a giant grin came across his face.

"Hello my love!" He grinned getting up extending his hand out for a shake.

"Nice to meet you, Jon? Right?"

"Yes! Jon, and you're Violet!" He chuckled running over and pulling the chair out for me guiding me to sit down. Huh, he's nothing like my old manager, my old managers name was Jerry and he was a total asshole. One time I saw him burn a cigarette on one of the dancers just for the laugh of it. He was terrible.

"Wow.. You are even better than I expected!! You're gonna fit SO well at the place." He clapped his hands together, he was so energetic. His hair was flopping everywhere, I had such a urge to fix it for him.

"Im very... excited!" I say looking up briefly from the menu.

"Great!! Now we are gonna need you every Monday, Wednesday, AND Friday. I know its not a lot but its just to start out. Once you get the hang of it, you will be full time. If thats a problem then thats fine. Theres plenty other fish out in the sea." He winked,

Hm.. Well he does have an asshole tone to him.

"Okay, yeah. Im down for that." I say nodding my head,

"Perfect! Alright, see you on Monday! I will show you the ropes then. I would stay because you're lovely but I have another meeting." He says standing up, this guy was so tall and had HUGE muscles, it intimidated me a bit, he had slicked back black hair with a pig like face.

Once we both said our goodbyes, he left and I decided to eat lunch here. I got just a burger and fries,

I headed back to my apartment since the moving trucks were probably there by now. Actually I was probably late to meet them at my place.

I made my way back there when I saw the same exact person from before. It was that weird kid again. He had that same dumb black hoodie on.

"Hey kid!" I yelled over trying to grab his attention which didn't work, he just kept going.

I raced up to him passing everyone,

"Hey!" I say nudging his shoulder which automatically made him squirm.

"Hi?" He says looking at the ground walking ahead, he kept trying to walk faster than me which didn't work, it was as if we were both racing each other. It was actually funny.

"So you're my new neighbor, huh?" I say,

"Mhm."

"Cool. Im Violet."

"Ok.." He says blankly. It was as if he didn't have a soul, or anything, no tone, attitude, actions, no nothing. I mean I get it, sometimes there are assholes *cough cough him cough* But damn, a least show a little respect.

"And whats your name?" I say looking over to him which he automatically pull his hoodie over his face more so I couldn't see.

"Elliot." He mumbled.

"Nice to meet you, Elliot. You seem like a really funny guy!!" I say in a sarcastic tone,

He ignored my comment and kept walking, at this point we were coming up to the building so there wasn't really any point to make more awkward conversation with him.

I walked faster up once I saw that the moving truck was on the curb, two older men were leaning up on it.

"Im so sorry for being late" I ran up quickly getting my wallet out for the bill,

"You should be. We were about to leave." He spat chewing on a toothpick hanging out of his mouth.

"Well look buddy, I'm here so lets go." I say back with a 'not so nice' tone.

He mumbled under this breath and him and his friend started unloading.

"Hey, Elli. Can you come help me with this?" I turn to him running over to a bookcase. I honestly didn't need his help but I felt like teasing him and annoying him today. (lmao)

"Uh.. I guess." He shrugged walking over grabbing the one end, we both guided up the stairs carefully trying not to slip on any left over shit that was on the steps.

"So El, tell me more about yourself." I looked up at him trying to hold on tight to this damn bookcase, it was heavy as shit and I literally have no upper arm strength.

"Nothing really." He did a little chuckle. Nice, I'm breaking him.

You could say Im the type of person to just annoy you over and over again until I break you.

---3 HOURS LATER---

"Thats better." I say nodding in approval looking around at my apartment, it was finally finished and it looked pretty good. Best part with my career, since you get loads of money means that you can buy more shit. My whole place was filled up.
