Benny's Pov

I was on my way to get Shiloh. She was coming with me to look at an apartment close to hers. It's been only 2 days since Tyler and I had dinner at her place. All weekend long we was texting each other. She would send me funny pics of her and I did the same with Tyler an I. I just pulled up to her apartment building and saw her walking out. She was wearing my old hoodie and shorts and booths. Thank you who ever mad shorts. She may be short and might have a little bit of a belly on her, but she gets me all hot and bothered. She jumped in my old truck and looked at me. I smiled at her. 

" Do I get a good morning kiss?" I asked her. No I haven't asked her to be my girl yet, but I think I'm going to ask her real soon. Shiloh moved closer to me and kissed my cheek. 

" Good morning sweetie?" Shiloh said to me. God, this woman drives me crazy. 

" Morning babe. Thanks for coming with me. I know Tyler wanted to come, but John wanted to take him school shopping." I told her. 

" No worries. I like spending time with you?" Shiloh told me. 

Me to baby me too. When I'm with her I can't see straight some times. Her and Tyler together I'm a big sap. Don't tell no one!!!

" Are you ready" I asked her. 

" You know I am." Shiloh told me. I pulled out of the parking lot an drove to the apartment where I was meeting the Realtor. 

I just pulled in to the parking lot and saw David Moss the realtor who was helping me find a place to live. Grandma was moving back in with us tonight. I know Tyler and I could stay there, but I need to get us our own place. I need to do this for Tyler. I am his father and I want him to be proud of me. And I think it is time for us to have our own place where we can call home. 

" Thanks for meeting us David. This is Shiloh Franklin. A good friend of mine." I said to David as I shook his hand. 

" Hi, nice to met you. Well this apartment has 2 bed rooms, 1 bath room. A good size kitchen and living room as well." David told me. I was looking at the building. 

" Which floor is it on?" Shiloh asked him. 

" 3rd floor." David told us. 

" How much is the rent each month?" I asked him. I only get $2,200 each month and I told David that I don't want to pay a lot for rent. 

" The rent is $300 each month. Due on the 5th of each month." David told me. 

" It's in your price range Benjamin." Shiloh told me. I looked down at her. Shiloh helped me with taht. I was okay paying up to $500 in rent but that's it. 

" Yeah. Can we see it?" I asked David. 

" Sure follow me." David said.  

We followed him to the front door and saw an elevator. We got in and there was a young woman in there. 

" Which floor honey?" She asked us. 

" 3rd. Thank you ma'am." I told her. 

" Your welcome baby?" She said to me. 

" I'm Sandra Dee." She told us. Shiloh giggled at her. 

" Is there a problem?" Sandra asked Shiloh. 

" Oh, no but your name is Sandra Dee. Like in the song. " Look at me I'm Sandra Dee lousy with virginity I won't go to---" Okay then you don't know that movie sorry?" Shiloh said to her.
