"So, do you live close to where was?" I asked trying to make a conversation. This was awkward. I just need to not die, and go home tomorrow. I held my journal tight under my arm.  
  
"Yeah I live about a mile away" he said keeping his eyes on the road. This was really really awkward, I'm going home with a guy I barely know. But, in my defense his so beautifully attractive.

   "Nice" I said quietly. There is a charming beautiful man right next to you Nichole, and you can't even manage to start a conversation. Good job.

   "I'm sorry." He said quietly turning into a parking lot. He looked sad. These words frightened me a little bit. What does he have to be sorry about? He did nothing wrong.

   "Wh-what do you mean?" I stuttered a little bit. Yes, of course these words made me nervous. No one, just randomly says 'I'm sorry'

"Well you've just been out in the cold for so long, it must've been terrible." He said putting his hand through his hair and parked the car. He looked at me with his big brown eyes. I don't understand how someone could be this humanly attractive. I really need to stop thinking about how attractive he is, but I can't help it.

Relieve did run through me when he said this. "It okay" I managed a smile. At least now I know he wasn't about to do something crazy.

"Come on let's go" He said nodding his head.

He lived in a tall apartment building, with many windows. We walked in, and I saw one door for stairs, and an elevator. The rest was a long hall, I don't really know where it led too.

I pushed the elevator button, I am not about to walk up flights of stairs. I' am too tired for that crap. I just want to take a hot shower, and watch netflix and sleep.

"What'd you say?" Damon asked laughing a little bit. I probably said that out loud, oh great. My cheeks turned red, and I had a rush of embarrassment.

"Oh, nothing" I said smiling but laughing a little bit. The elevator door opened and we walked in.  The door closed in front of us. He pressed button 12, and we went up. 

"Um, is it okay if I take a shower?" I asked quietly. The question was super awkward. But, I need to wash my body some how.

"Yeah, of course" He smiled at me and gave me a little wink. My cheeks turned red and I smiled a little bit.

The elevator doors opened and we walked into a big long hallway. His room was the first to the right. He opened his door and my eyes stood in total amazement.

The walls were made out of glass showing the beautiful city beneath us. The floor was a really nice white tile. And it was just one big open space. There was a living room on the left, with a huge T.V. and three couches.  The kitchen was huge, with an island, and an electric stove. His place was so big, and the sight from the windows was absolutely beautiful. There was a couple doors probably leading to the bathroom or his bedroom.
"Dang, you said 'small' apartment" I mentioned looking at him.

"Well" he laughed a little bit "My job, gives good pay I guess" he then said smirking at me.

"Seems like a pretty good job." I said walking around a bit, noticing the beautiful paintings on the walls, and stack of books next to his couch. I could manage staying a night here, definitely.

"Would you like to take a shower now?" he asked.

"Yeah sure." I said looking back up at him.

"I'll go get you some towels, and clothes. The bathroom is through that door." He said pointing to the door, on the other side of the room.
