The Walk

Ian Cross

A man walked up to her, he seemed to know her, "Hello!"

He said kindly with a grin. "You must be Alexis Archer, nice to meet you."

He held out his hand, Alexis gave it a shake. "Yep, that's me. I suppose your my landlord"

The man gave a slight bow, " I am Ian Cross, your landlord and help in the Big Apple."

" Help is what I really need mostly, not really sure about paying rent every month" Alexis raised her eyebrow.

Ian Cross laughed," Well it would be a problem ,wouldn't it?"

" Let's go" He opened the main door to the lobby,"We have 24 hour security in the building".

The doorman have a nod."We have 13 floors, each with 25 apartments, your apartment is on the 13 floor, fully furnished with heat, gas, electricity and water." Ian pressed the 'up' button on the panel," Oh and if you have any problem, I live on the 10 th floor."

" Thank you, Mr Cross." They both entered the lift, Ian pressed the button for the 13 th floor." Please call me Ian"

The elevator gave a 'ding' and the door opened to reveal a beautifully designed corridor. The floors were carpeted and there were pictures hanging on the wall. There were golden ornaments decorating the corridor.

They reached a red oak door, a golden plaque read, '1309'.

"Here are your keys, I'll let you get comfortable" Ian said.

"Thanks Ian" she was left alone in the corridor. She inserted the key inside the lock, the door opened.

She opened the door, she gasped. The door opened to reveal a beautiful decorated living room, the walls and furniture were white. The white sofas surrounded a brown coffee table.There was a fireplace to warm her. The silver frames clung onto the walls.

Her house was a transition from white to brown to blue and black. 'It's perfect!!' Alexis thought. The apartment was a few minutes away from Central Park. The view was absolutely amazing for 6000 $ per month.

Alexis's parents were both architects, her elder sister Lola was a lawyer. Alexis also had a younger sister, Cece. They were very close.

The evening came, Alexis had put her clothes in her walk in wardrobe, her fridge was stocked up with food. Her favorite thing in the world!!!! ( I mean who can't resist food!)She lay on her bed, scrolling through social media. She smiled as she looked at her screen, with pictures of her enjoying with her best friends. Maddie and Sasha, had gone to college in New Zealand. Amber had joined a nursing school in Berkshire and Levi had gone to Ibiza to peruse her dreams as a DJ.
