After four days I pulled up to my apartment building. I already felt at home, I looked around the place. I was already in love. There was so much life and nature. Unlike New York where it was all corporate and no love.

I entered the complex. The front desk guy caught my attention. I went up to him.

"Hi I'm Adriana DeLuca. I'm apartment 340. Barely getting here."

"Ah yes. Our Stanford Scholar from New York." He said. He dug in his desk and handed me a key. "Your aunt has already came for the original key this is just a spare." He explained. He pulled out my welcome package. A envelope filled with events and nearby stores and anything else I may need. Including a map and a keychain for my car. It was all so nice.

"Ok thank you..." Trying to look for a name tag.

"Jose" he said with a smile

"Jose." I repeated. He handed me a luggage carrier to put the rest of my stuff on. I went back outside and loaded the remains of my stuff into the carrier. I began pulling it with me in the elevator and rode to the 10th floor. I got out and looked for my apartment. Pulling the heavy cart behind me. I found it and stuck my key in. I turned it to unlock the door and opened it. I pulled the cart inside and shut the door.

I was in sheer awe. The apartment was beautiful. And it was all mine. As I was ready to cry, I heard someone clear their throat. I glanced at the living room and he was sitting there. On my couch I purchased from Ikea.

"what are you doing here?" I asked him

"I'm keeping my promise. I promised you I would pack up my life move across the country with you. May I say, flying is so much better than driving." Justin said standing up from my couch.

"And who says I'm going to let you stay here?" I asked

"Well if not, then you don't have a neighbor and I have a loan from my dad." He explained. "But I'm hoping you need a roommate and we can split rent." He said. Slowly walking towards me. Gently placing his hand on my check and stroking it with his thumb.

"I'm really mad with you." I said. Removing his hand from my face. Using all of my power not to jump into his arms.

"I get it. I would be mad at me too. But Maybe we just need a break and be friends for a while" He said.

"A break? Like what college kids in relationships do when they go back to school so they can have sex with other people?" I asked. He chuckled.

"Exactly. But for us it can be just doing our own thing. Just until we figure this out." He said. Gesturing to himself and then to me.

"I don't know. Just sounds like someone is going to get hurt." I said. Licking my lips, undecisive.

"No jealousy. No sabotaging. Just friends" he reassured. "You'll be busy with school, and I'll be working soon."

"Fine. But on one condition." I said. He raised an eyebrow. "I get master bedroom." He chuckled.

"Fine." He said.

Could we be friends?
