Ryan's P.O.V
I have two days until my new classes start. I move into my new apartment as soon as I land. I have been hunting for the right place since I got into the university. The apartment is fancier than my apartment in Philadelphia, to find a good place at a cheaper rate in New York is next to impossible but i was lucky enough to get my hands on this beauty. My car will be shipped soon, until then i have to use the public transport. Subways in New York are confusing, but I'll figure it out soon. I chill on the couch that came with the apartment when i get a text from Olivia;
*where are you?* I stare at it for a while and click the delete button. I have to control my emotions.
I unpack my belongings and go down to grab dinner. I don't really mind eating alone. New York is like a fresh start, i am happy that everything is going as I planned. I order burger and fries on the side in this really old restaurant near my apartment. I am really surprised how Olivia can make my head spin, we have not even spent much time together but still she has this effect on me. I just can't stop myself from not thinking of her. I push thoughts of Olivia at the back of my mind. Once in my life a girl has fucked me up and I won't let that happen. But I am sure Olivia is not one of those girls but to be honest I thought Julia was different too but she turned out to be someone else, and I am not ready to settle down anyway. Why should I give any women the power to control me to destroy me basically, and why do I have to be emotionally dependent on anyone, why do I need anyone approval on how to live my life. I don't need anyone's permission over anything that I do every day. I am physically satisfied, I am financially stable and now I have a apartment in new York and soon I'll graduate from the university. What else do I need?
I don't really understand the concept of settling down with one person. I was that boyfriend material back in the days but when you taste the freedom you don't really want to go back to being emotionally trapped by a women. I don't have any guilt when I sleep with a random girl, I am not answerable to anyone not even to the girl I am sleeping with. I sleep peacefully at night not worried about someone cheating on me. I am a real definition of a jerk and I am not ashamed of that.
I walk back to my apartment; there is one more flat on my floor besides mine. As i am about to open my door a girl stumbles down from the elevator. Blond, curvy body, she is drunk.
"What are you looking at?" she hisses.
"You." I tell her, not taking my eyes off her.
"You live here? Never seen you before." She asks me
"I just moved in." I tell her.
"Neighbour" she sings. "Being your neighbour it's my humble duty to invite you over for a coffee." She says as she leans on her apartment door.
"That's really sweet but maybe some other day, you are drunk." I don't really like to touch girls when they are drunk.
"Oh come on it's just a coffee." She pulls me by her hand and into her apartment.
She goes straight into the bedroom and emerges out with her hair tied in a bun and wearing shorts and sweatshirt.
"How do you like your coffee?" she asks me.
"Are you okay?" I ask her first.
"Don't worry, I am kind of sober now." She tells me.
"Strong." I tell her.
"Okay. Well, I am Christina." She finally introduces herself.
"I am Ryan."
"Where you from?" she asks me
"Philadelphia."
"oh" she pours the coffee into two mugs and comes down to sit beside me on the couch.
"Here. It's hot." She hands me the coffee
"I like it hot." I murmur.
