As Long As I'm With You {James Maslow love story}

Chapter 26: Starting to Learn

Bella POV

I settled in my apartment just a week ago and I already adjusted to its ambiance. After a few days, Ashton visited me in my apartment, actually, his apartment. He just lent it to me until I get enough money to buy my own unit.

*flashback*

"So how's the apartment? Do you like it?" He asked.

"It's fine, just need a little cleaning." I answered and he chuckled.

"Oh. So, do you know how to get around here? You know, to buy stuff?" He asked.

"Of course not. I was just relying on the delivery service of the store to do my groceries.what do you expect." He smiled.

"Well then. I'll tour you around."

"Ha! I knew you'd do it!"

"No, it's necessary for you to know where to go, especially if you're in a foreign country." He said.

"I guess you're right." I said as I stood up.

We walked outside the apartment and went to the elevator. Surprisingly, I saw a familiar face.

It was Chris.

"Hey! It's you!" He exclaimed.

"Oh, Hi! it's Chris, right?

"Yeah. By the way, I didn't get your name."

"Oh s-sorry. It's Bella."

"Cute name." He smiled, showing his gorgeous smile. I blushed.

"Where you going?" He asked.

"I'm gonna be touring around town with my cousin. How about you?"

"I'm just gonna grab some coffee." He smiled as we both walked in the elevator.

"So, I see you've met him." Ashton barged in the conversation.

"Uh, yeah. He helped me in the airport." I answered.

"Sup, ash?" Chris nodded.

"Good." He said.

The rest of the ride down was filled with awkward silences. Not even one person rode with us. As soon as the elevator stopped at the ground floor, Ashton pulled me aside. Chris went to the coffee shop nearby. Ash started to tour me around.

~~~~~

After a few hours of touring, we decided to grab some dinner and go back. While we were touring, Ashton told me veery thing he knew about Chris. He told me that Chris is actually a quiet person. He seldom talks to his friends, including Ashton. They both met at the apartment I was staying in, so that means we both live in the same building. He said that Chris is very shy when it comes to talking to girls. But he noticed that he was pretty confident in talking to me. He didn't seem shy the first time I met him. That, for me was suspicious. If Ashton said he's shy when talking to girls, how come did I not notice that?

We got back from a day of touring. It was fun, by the way. Ashton did an awesome job in touring me. I told him that and he laughed. I went inside my apartment and mentally prepared myself tomorrow. I'm gonna do interviews from a couple companies that demanded an extra worker. That's all thanks to Ash. He's so thoughtful for doing that. He even made me my résumé. I guess it's because he's an only child, he treats me as his sister. Well, we did grew up together until they moved to Australia. I've known Ashton for a long time. And you would not want to get to his dark side.

I went inside my room and crashed in my bed. Man, am I exhausted. It's been only a week and I already miss America. I miss my family and especially.......

.........I miss James.
