Bound By Greed (on hold)

Do You Smell That?

After a night of laughter, and way too many ice cream boxes, Leanna and I ended up crashing on the couch.

It was about 12 o'clock the next day when we were so rudely awaken by the clattering of pots and pans.

Usually,  I would just try to sleep through the noise, but something urged me to get up.

From the second my feet touched the ground, I knew why I forced myself out of bed.

"WE GET TO MOVE INTO THE APARTMENT TODAY!" I shouted, grabbing Leanna's hand and yanking her off the couch. 

"What the hell man?" I heard a groggy voice shout behind me as I continued to run forward, dragging Leanna's squirming body behind me.

The second I had stepped though the threshold of the kitchen, I dropped Leanna's hand, immediately hearing a splat as her body hit the floor, followed by a couple colourful words that'd make my Nana cry.

As quickly as I could, I ran to the other side of the kitchen and wrapped Rose up in a hug, then did the same to my dad. And after a few seconds, Leanna followed suit, hugging both of my parents as well.

After a few moments of silence, I asked the question that had been nagging me since the moment I crawled off the couch. "Can we go see the apartment now?" I asked.

"Sure." Rose said smiling."But get ready, you're not leaving the house looking like that."

And sure enough, when I looked down at myself and Leanna, I definitely saw what Rose was talking about. I smelt it too.

To the bathroom!

After about an hour of showering, blow drying and clothing selection, I was ready to go. Usually it didn't take me that long to get ready, but I really needed that shower.

It took about another half an hour to get Leanna to come downstairs, though. Usually she didn't bother blow drying her hair or getting out of her pj's, but today she took her time getting dressed and doing her hair.

When she finally came down the stairs, I had to admit she looked beautiful.  With her short brown hair in a french braid, and her large black glasses framing her eyes, she looked studious, but fun. She wore a pair of dark green jeans, a white tucked in tee-shirt and a knit cardigan, along with black worn ballet flats. All of which she stole from the loose fitting end of my closet.

I felt extremely frumpy compared to her.

I just pulled my hair up into a loose chignon, grabbed some knee high leather boots, put on ripped

jeans and threw on a loose fitting tank top.

When she reached the bottom of the stairs I extended my arm out to her, "Shall we?" I asked.

She quickly linked her arm through mine. "We shall."

Because of how close the apartment was, we decided to walk. It was just outside of the gated community, a street away from the shops.

It had to be the utmost spectacular location I had ever seen. Surrounded by trees and backing onto a pond, the landscaping was absolutely beautiful. 

Rose and my dad decided to sit out on exploring the apartment. They just wanted to relax after their long day of moving and unpacking boxes, so it was just Leanna and I.

As we punched in the code to enter the lobby, I couldn't stop myself from jumping up with joy.

This was it.

Our apartment was 3C on the third floor, so Leanna and I had to treck up the stairs just left of the entrance.

By the time we made it to the top, I was nearly ready to explode with excitement.

As we made our way to the end of the hall and turned right, we came to a little nook where the door to 3C was.

Leanna stepped forward, grabbing her key from her pocket and unlocking the door.

"Ready?" She asked looking back.

Sorry just a filler chapter. I just wanted to post something for this week!

Bai!
