"Okay, that's the last box." I said in a relief tone, unpacking the last box to my new apartment.
My apartment wasn't too big but not too small. It has everything it needs - duh - and 2 bedrooms, with a fantastic view of the town.

'I guess I should go out to the store and buy food now.'

Looking in the mirror one last time to check that I didn't look like I didn't come come back from the dead from moving in, I grabbed my keys and wallet and set off.
I was wearing blue high waisted shorts, flats, a and a simple white top tucked into the shorts.
While locking my new apartment door, I felt someone staring at me. I turned around, looking left and right, but no one was there.

'Meh'

Walking down the hall and outside, the feeling of the sun shine upon my skin felt so wonderful. I decided to walk to the store instead of drive.

Once I made it back to the building of my apartment after shopping, I opened one of the two doors to the lobby, I smiled at the lady behind the desk and went into the elevator, pressing the number 10. Once I reached the 10th floor I started to walk towards my apartment door, number 11, but a man caught my eye, unlocking what must be his apartment door, number 6. He turned around and smiled at me. He was tall, brown hair and green eyes, wearing a black top of some sort and a back leather jacket over top, with jeans that fitted oh so well, and back sneakers.
I felt myself burning up inside, he was so damn attractive. I gave small smile back and hurried to my apartment door. As I was unlocking it, I looked to my left and he was still there watching me.

"Need help?" He asked.

The door unlocked just as he finished he's sentence.

"Oh, haha no thank you, I got it." I replied.

He chuckled and walked into his apartment, as did I.

Closing the door behind me, I already couldn't get him off my mind. What was it? The leather jacket? The stare? His smile? Eyes?
I sighed and made my way to the kitchen where I began to unpack the food that I just bought.

As night came creeping along, I walked towards my bed and fell onto it, and fell asleep pretty much straight away. I was exhausted.

Waking up to the sounds of birds at my window, i smiled to myself. Today is my first day at one of my two jobs. Today, I'm working at the florist. I got up out of bed, had a quick shower, had breakfast and got dressed. I did my hair and make up and went to the front door. I noticed a piece of paper under my foot. As I bent down to pick it up I saw there was writing on it. It read,
"Just thought I would let you know, you're stunning.
xo - J.P"
I smiled at myself knowing I have a secret admirer. Who's this 'J.P'? I questioned. I placed the note in my pocket and continued to go to work. I was secretly hoping I would see that hot guy at number 6 when I got out, but he wasn't there.

'Damn.'

Making my way to my car I set off and surprisingly made it to work earlier then I expected. I got ready for work and started putting flowers together, making them look pretty and nice. It was a busy day, and I served every customer with a good attitude even though I felt like stabbing someone with the garden scissors by the end of the day. Just when I thought the number of customer may have stopped for what I was hoping ten minutes, I heard the jingle of the bell, giving me notice that a customer had just opened the door. I sigh and turn around to find that man from the hall standing at the door of my work.
