~Sam's POV~

I made my way to the apartment first, Dezanique and Ann soon following behind me. I opened the door to apartment 424 and stepped inside our newest level of freedom. I wheeled my load of luggage in and claimed the first room down the hall, the walls painted a pretty deep purple.

"Sam, where'd you go?" I hear the voice of Dezanique call from the front door, another pair of steps and wheels behind her.

I made my back into the living and plopped down on the leather sofa the movers had brought up from earlier. "I think we hit jackpot honestly, this place is pretty freaking amazing." Dezanique spoke as she sat her self down next to me, Ann just wheeled her things into the room the the way in the back.

"Do you think this is a better place for Ann?" I asked, lowering my voice slightly to where Ann wasn't able to hear out conversation.

But Dezanique could even answer, a knock came to our door. "Come in!" I hollered and in came one of the most attractive men I had ever seen in my entire life. He had shaggy, dark chocolate drown hair, his small smile that you could tell stayed there all the time, and he was fairly muscular to be as lean as he looked.

"Hey, you're the new neighbors right?" He questioned Dezanique and I.

"I- uhh.. W-we," I was cut off by Dezanique- well, now that I think of it, she kinda saved my butt from looking like a complete and utter idiot.

"Yeah, I'm Dezanique and this is my speechless friend, Sam! Ann the other roommate is in the back unpacking already," Dezanique smiled at him and shook hands, something inside of me bubbled slightly.

"Hey, I'm Kurt," that's one sexy name right there, "My roommates, Max and Leo, live right across from you guys and I just wanted to come over and personally welcome you guys to the Palms." Kurt smiled and glanced back and forth, from me to Dezanique.

"This place is truly amazing," I finally gain enough confidence and answer, Kurt then turns to me and smiles bigger.

"I think so too," He sticks his hand out to me and I gladly shake his warm, tan hand.

He shook his head and turned to Dezanique, "I just came her to inform you of the barbecue that's going on tomorrow night by the Palm Woods pool, hope you guys can come!"

"Totally! All three of us will show up, what time though?" Dezanique smiled her usual this-is-my-professional smile and nodded as Kurt explained the details, soon enough though Kurt did leave.

Dezanique began wheeling in the rest of our things as Ann unpacked and I began making dinner which is more like calling in take-out pizza and running to the store to buy Coke and candies. By the time I got there all the boxes had been unpacked and our things were put on shelves and in certain rooms and closets, I was fairly pleased with it all.

"Look who finally decided to show up!" Dezanique giggled slightly as I came in with my hands filled.

"Hey! I was grabbing food for your lard asses," I laughed and set everything on the coffee table and made my way to the kitchen grabbing plates and cups.

We all sat around in the living room watching what ever the hell I turned on, zoning out to the sound. I turned to see Ann had placed in her headphones bobbing to her music, and Dezanique was to busy devouring her pizza to notice my slight chuckle. After minutes of silence I finally decided to speak up. "Hey, so you guys excited for the barbecue party tomorrow?"

"Only because that hot guy, Kurt I think, will be there." Dezanique laughed and Ann's face was confused.

"Barbecue? What?"

"Dezanique and I are taking you to a barbecue that the apartment complex throws when new people move in!" I chirp.

"Do I have to?" She questions, of course she wouldn't want to come. I turn to Dezanique for support when Ann glances down at her phone.

"Sorry Ann, but you have to. It's good to know a couple people that live here, you know, just in case something ever happens." Dezanique smiles at Ann, but she only rolls her eyes in response and stands up.

"I'm going to bed." She begins to make her way down the hall before Dezanique and I holler to her, "Be ready by five tomorrow!"

We both laughed as we realized what the had done. "Well tomorrow should be fun!" I say as I toss a pillow at Dezanique, it lands right in her face. Score!

She just laughs and snuggles into the couch turning her attention to "Pretty Little Liars" I guess, I though soon got up and made my way towards the bed laying down and getting my beauty sleep before I saw Mr. Handsome again!

~Max's POV~

"This party is gonna be a blow, just saying, Kurt." Leo laughed as he took a sip if the beer I so gratefully brought.

"Shut up, Leo! We have new neighbors and I'd like to welcome them!" Kurt hollered as he set up a couple different tables.

"Maybe cause you wanna get in one of their pants," I smirked and Leo laughed even harder.

"I'm ignoring you guys now," Kurt finished up the set- up and began tapping away at his phone, I guess saying the party was ready.

As the first hour of the party went on more and more people started to fill in from the complex, Leo and I's faces dropped. I finally stood from my seat and made my way towards the music- well, more like the band Kurt got together and had began producing for them. The rhythm made my feet begin to tap, ad soon enough my whole body was moving to the beat.

"Hey, uh excuse me! Everyone, everyone!" Kurt stopped the music and spoke from the microphones, "Does anyone want to step up and sing a cover with the band?"

I raised my hand quickly, but Kurt wasn't staring at me, he was staring past me at another girl. "You, girl in the pink dress, get up here.. Oh and you too, Max."

I quickly followed her to the stage and Kurt began playing a song if his choice, it of course being a song that I wrote and sang, "Everyday".

~Dezanique's POV~

His voice, Max was it? Fills my ears and I can't help but smile at his angelic voice, he nods his head and I come in at the second verse. The rest of the song we sing and it's when we exit the stage the magic begins.

"Hey, I'm Max," he scratches his head and nervously shakes me hand. I shake it back and I small smile forms at his lips, of course causing me to smile.

I take his hand and pull him towards my mouth, "Your smile is very contagious," I sexily whisper into his ear and he turns bright red. "Dance with me, Max." I guide him towards the back and take his hands, placing them on my waist. Rihanna pours from the huge speakers and I guide Max's body to the beat of the song.

"You never told me your name!" He attempts to holler louder then the music. I smirk and pulling him near me once more, my chest practically touching his.

"It's Dezanique," I say into his ears once more and then continue to sway my hips I was doing so before. He only smiled and nodded to the music.
