Veronica Greene has always dreamed of becoming a big time journalist. She has pushed every type of love to the side to focus on work. What will happen when she is offered a job of a lifetime? Going undercover while being surrounded by four gorgeous...
Thanks to traffic it takes me way longer to get to my apartment. The time spent driving is good though. I have a chance to figure out my game plan with Niall. I don't feel as stressed as before. I think I was developing feelings for him, but those are long gone. I need to call Jill and tell her not to worry about a thing.
When I reach my apartment I feel so much lighter. The stress that was building is gone. I don't even care when I see the same sign as before I left on the elevator. Once again the stupid thing is broken. I jog up the five flights of stairs, eager to get to my apartment. It's almost noon, so Chloe will be at work. I will have the place to myself. I am going to shower, eat and get ready. I have looked like a mess the last few days. I need to do my hair and make up. As I reach my door I pull out my keys that are in my duffle bag. I unlock the door and walk into the familiar cramped apartment. I look around at the old furniture and the walls with chipped paint.
I miss Niall's place.
I shake my head of these stupid thoughts. It was just an oversized apartment. I don't need a place like that. I walk into the kitchen and look through the cabinets. There are few cans of different beans, but nothing else. I open the fridge to find eggs, milk, and orange juice. Why doesn't Chloe have any food? I will have to ask her when I see her.
I walk over to my room and open the door. The small twin sized bed is made perfectly. I set my things down and strip down to being completely naked. I grab a clean towel from my closet and walk across the hall to the bathroom. I step into the shower and the cold water hits me. I wait as it slowly warms up.
Niall's shower heats up instantly.
I roll my eyes at myself. I put my head under the running water to clear my thoughts. I quickly wash my hair with Chloe's shampoo and then I use her conditioner. I grab the body wash and wash my body as fast as I can. The floral scent from the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash is overwhelming. Why does Chloe like this smell so much? I turn off the water and dry myself. I wrap the towel around myself and walk back to my room. Knowing that I don't have a lot of time I get dressed. I put on a pair of light distressed skinny jeans. I look at the shirts I brought and I don't want to wear any of them. They aren't comfortable looking shirts. I walk over to my closet and pull out a blue graphic tee. It has three simple drawn mountains, some trees, and the moon. I have never worn it, because it made me look like I go camping. I didn't want to be an imposter, but now I have gone camping. I slide the shirt on and then leave my room.

Sighing I pick up my phone and text Niall as I walk back into the bathroom.
Me: Thanks again for the plane. I made it in time :)
I watch as the text gets sent and almost immediately the three little dots appear and bounce across my screen. Just as quickly as they appeared they disappear.
Okay then.
I turn music on my phone and spend the next hour getting ready. I blow dry my hair and then curl it loosely. I put on enough make up to hide the bags under my eyes. I then add mascara and eyeliner. I pick up my toothbrush to brush my teeth. I turn the water on, but there is a knock on the door. I set the toothbrush down and leave the bathroom. I walk over to the front door and open it. Completely ignoring the peephole, like usual.
