The whole day I could barely focus on anything besides what happened at work this morning. I can't stop thinking about his stupid green eyes and his stupid fucking smirk. I had to leave work early for a really important exam that would get me a life changing interview with a really big company and I feel like I blew it because I couldn't focus. Great. Why did he have to be so attractive. ugh.   

I dig into my backpack for the apartment keys and pull out an old gum rapper, a squished candy bar and finally the apartment key. 

Ever since I moved out of my mom's place on the north side I've been living with my step sister, Naomi and her daughter, Nora. 

Mom found the apartment for Naomi when Nora was just two years old, she's four now. Ever sense Naomi told my mom she was pregnant with Nora they have had a rocky relationship. One of the few times when things were good, Naomi convinced my mom that she wanted to move out and get her own apartment. Mom was not exactly happy about it but she was willing to do what was best for Nora. So after looking online and multiple visits to numerous apartments she finally decided on this one. 

You see my mom was a realisate agent so, it was hard finding a place that lived up to her standards. When we found this place though and she immediately loved it, in fact she insisted on viewing the other rooms that were available for rent in the building. She loved all of them. It took less than a month for mom to convince the owner that the building was in good hands and bought out building. The next day she signed the papers and had investigators coming in and out looking for any problems. She had to upgrade the exterior and added a community laundry mat downstairs, along with a small cafe area. Once the apartment was purchased and fully inspected and updated to my moms standards she added a play area out side for all the little kids in the building and a small daycare ran by Naomi. Lastly she had a pool built in the basement. 

My mom likes to go over the top with things sometimes. The apartment building was pretty much perfect the way it was before mom took over but now she is planning an extension because of how many people are offering big money to stay here. You would think since mom owns the place she wouldn't charge her own two daughters rent, but she is all about making big money even though she says that it is to teach us more responsibility. Plus Naomi and I agreed that if I pay half the rent, my own car insurance, help with the apartment chores and help take of Nora then she will take care of everything else.

I put the key in lock and turn it to unlock it and turn the door nob. As soon as the apartment door closes behind me, the sound of little feet running across the hard wood floor fills the quiet apartment with noise. 

"Aunt CC! Aunt CC!" 

I crouch down and open my arms for her to run into. When she reaches my me we wrap our arms around each other. I stand up and begin to twirl her around so she starts to laugh. 

I absolutely adore Nora. She is a good mix of both her mother and father. She has light brown skin, dark, curly hair, big, brown eyes, and an attitude like her mother. 

"Was Nora a good girl today at school?" 

"Yes Nora was a very good girl day at school. Guess what!"

"Chicken but?" 

We both burst out in a fit of laughter at my silly joke. 

"What are you two laughing about?" Naomi appeared leaning against the doorway of her bedroom, wearing a grey t-shirt, a black leather jacket, a pair of ripped skinny jeans, her black biker boots, a pair of dog tags around her neck and a beanie over her hair. That only means one thing. She needs me to watch Nora so she can go to work tonight. She hasn't told me where she works yet, she only says that its dangerous and she can't tell me.
