Emma
I hear light footsteps coming towards us.
"You must be my new roommate!" She yells in excitement coming over as she hugs me tightly. I totally shocked at the confidence she hastily in herself. She not much taller than me, her long wavy blonde hair covering her shoulders as I can see the ink on her arm. She has one of those piercing just below her eye on her cheekbone. As she smiles at both of us another piercing show just below her bottom lip. She walks over to Brad that has just left the boxes on the floor as he watched her come into the room.
"And you are her brother? I'm hoping." He gives her this unfamiliar laugh and shakes his head.
"I'm Brad, her boyfriend," She wishes he's my brother I think to myself as I'm still checking out the tattoos on her left arm.
"I'm Claire Bailey and you'll be spending a lot of time with me." I don't really know her yet but she seems friendly to me.
"Let me show you your room." She adds grabbing one of the boxes Brady was carrying. We cross the living room and she points out her bedroom. We pass the big bathroom and arrive in the bedroom.
"We have two spare rooms now so you can decide which one you want. I personally like the other one better but it's your choice." I open the door and the bedroom is very nice. It has long gray curtains a white creamy bed with a night table. There's a TV with a small wardrobe. She takes us to the other room past the living room.
"I'll take this one," I say seeing it's all white and black. The curtains are white with the black furniture contrasting gives it a wonderful look.
"Great. If you would have been here before me you could have got my room that has a walking closet." She smiles at me and walks over to the curtain to reveal the nice views I have. It's on the same side of the living room as I see the same skyscrapers. I am not that bothered about having a walking closet, I'm just happy with my view and black furniture. I leave my suitcase as Brad drops the boxes on the floor near the bed.
"I'll leave you two girls." Says Brad as he walks up to me. Claire disappears as Brad comes closer and kisses me softly.
"You are very lucky to live here. I'll you pick you up tomorrow at nine," he's right I am very lucky to be able to live in a penthouse like this. Tomorrow is our first day and we have to be there at quarter to ten. Claire rushes back to my room as she hands me a set of keys.
"These are the keys to get into the apartment and the lift. And here is your key to the parking. You better move your car before they fine you." Great I think to myself as I get the set of keys from her. I leave the room trying to find the lift to leave. I would have never imagined being able to afford this place. Brad and I get into the lift and as the doors close he adds,
"She looks nice." He's right but I'm not sure how things will work out in the near future. We arrive in the lobby as Peter the doorman is speaking with an elderly man. We walk up to them as I smile at Peter the other man says,
"You must be the new roommate of Claire. I'm Tony. I live on the seventh floor just below you." Nice to know. I smile at him as I don't let go of Brad's hand. I feel uncomfortable with the smile this man is giving to me. It's like those movies that they are after something that you are bound to give them one way or another.
"I'm Emily." I say walking past them smiling. I don't want to continue the conversation as I pull Brad's hand. Depending on the person I prefer them to call me Emily or Emma. Emma is for the people I kind of know or think that there is going to be a good feeling. And with the people I'm not very interested with, can call me Emily."Bye!" I add as we walk through the big glass doors. I say goodbye to Brad as I get in my car and take it to the car park that is just a block away. I park it at 8.1 that's my spot. I notice the car next to me is very familiar to me. I get out of the car looking at the car beside me. Spot 9 that must be the person living above us I think to myself as I walk to the lift. It takes me a few seconds to be able to call the lift as I need to use my keys.
