Serendipity

Chapter 3

"I want this one." I look at Matt, he looks extremely proud of himself,

"I have good taste." A smirk spreads across his face.

I walk around the apartment. There's a small kitchen with steel appliances that's connected to a living room. On the largest wall there's a window overlooking the city. In the window is a small area of cushion, meant for reading. Bookshelves cover the walls and there is a fireplace underneath the tv.

I continue to walk, scoping out the rest of the space I will soon occupy. There's a hallway with 4 rooms. The first room on my left has a small workout space in what looks like an office. There's a treadmill on the left and a desk on the right. I exit that room and continue venturing through the rest of the place.

The second room is a guest room. The walls are painted a pretty shade of blue, and a queen size bed fills up most of the space.

The third room is a bathroom with a huge shower and jacuzzi. There's a large mirror and a set of double sinks in the granite countertop.

The fourth room is the master suite which is where I will be spending most of my time. There's a huge king size bed in the middle of the room and the walls are a beautiful green color. There's more bookshelves and a few dressers. The walls are filled with paintings of different scenes that honestly fascinate me. How could someone create something so beautiful?

Matt follows me and watches me glow with excitement. He's just so cute. Wait what am I saying!? He's a good little boy and I'm a complete badass. There's no way.

He comes up behind me and his cold breath tickles my ear. "Shall I tell the man downstairs this apartment is taken?"

"You shall." He backs away and his scent lingers in the air. My nose fills with the sweet smell of him and my knees shake. I sit down on the bed, and wait for it to pass.

He comes back in with a man that looks like he's in his 50's.

"So you will be purchasing this place?" He asks taking a step closer to me. I scoot back on the bed obviously uncomfortable and Matt clearly notices.

"She will take it. How much?" He steps in between the man and I.

"2,000" he replies, looking at me creepily.

"Here." I grab the money and hand it to him, ushering him out of my apartment as fast as I can.

I slam the door and turn around facing Matt.

"Would you like to assist me in grabbing all of my shit sir?" I ask, causing him to laugh.

"M'lady" he replies sticking his arm out for me to grab. I gladly accept and we head down the stairs and back out onto the busy streets.

It doesn't take long to load everything into my beat up, piece of junk car and we're off to the apartment. He somehow finds the radio and cranks it up blowing out my eardrums. I don't mind, I just laugh and continue to drive.

He grabs something from the dash board and turns to look at me.

"You smoke?." He raises his eyebrows waiting for my reply.

"Only every once in a while. Just when I'm super stressed. I swear it's not a habit." Matt rolls down my window and throws the box out of it.

"Hey I paid good money for those!!" He laughs his sexy laugh and I look at him almost hitting a group of pedestrians in the process.

"Watch where your going we could have died!!" He grabs the handle attached to the seat, and a look of utter terror falls upon his face.

"Aww is Matt scared?" I speed up and he closes his eyes.

"Aww baby." He perks up when that slips out.

"What did you call me?"

"Nothing." I stare intently at the road, ignoring his icy stare burning into my face. Goosebumps shoot up my arms. Man does he do things to me.
