moms boss

My gaze shifts from my phone to the window just as my moms car passes the boarder between packed city and blissful country life. The moment we entered the city I was hit with bright lights from buildings and signs. Despite it being close to 2 am the streets were still loud and bustling.

I look over to my mom, "Are we close yet?"

"Yep, we're five minutes away from the apartment," She beamed. I mentally cheered and continued watching my new surroundings. I notice lots of people around my age walking around town flaunting fake IDs and credit cards.

I sigh as we pull into the parking garage. I pop open the trunk and begin unloading boxes. "You guys need some help?" A tall rather attractive man asked. He had short black hair, bright ocean blue eyes, and an extremely built body. He was wearing grey sweatpants and no shirt.

"Ah, Lucas!" My mom chimed.

"Wait, Lucas? Who's Lucas? I wanna meet Lucas."

"Ah yes I forgot to introduce you guys, Eric this is Lucas Grey, my boss."

"Nice to meet you sir, I'm Eric."

"Nice to meet you Eric." He extended his arm out obviously asking for a handshake. I took his hand in mine and his grip tightened. I blushed profoundly as we shook on our greeting.

I'm never washing this hand again... I thought still pink in my cheeks. Lucas began helping unload boxes.

"So which for do you live on?"

"We live on the third floor; apartment 3A," My mom explained, "You don't have to help us."

"No, no, no, it's all good I was just about to go on a run anyways."

"At two in the morning?!" ask in a slightly shocked tone.

"Yep, I go on runs when I can't sleep." He explains. He then picks up the box and begins walking up the stairs, I follow doing the same.

When we reach the door to the apartment my mom rushes to unlock the door. Once she does she swings it wide open, "Well here we are, home sweet home. You can put the boxes over there," She says pointing to the far left wall. We nod our heads and gently place the boxes down.

"Welp, I'll go down for the rest now." Lucas says and begins walking back towards the car.

"So, what do you think?" My mom said; nudging my shoulder.

"About?"

She rolled her eyes, "About Lucas and the apartment."

"Oh Lucas seems cool and the apartment is nice. Looks pretty expensive though.."

"It was very expensive," She said, putting emphasis on 'very'. "But with my new job this whole apartment becomes super affordable."

"So we're rich?" I ask beginning to unload boxes.

"I guess you could say that." She smiled, helping me unload. Lucas comes back with the rest of the boxes and sets them next to the others.

"That's all of them, goodnight guys see you tomorrow." He said waving goodbye before leaving.

My mom and I finally finished unpacking all that we had and I crawled into bed. My mom leans on the door frame, "Go to sleep early you start school tomorrow."
