"Here you go, it's a studio apartment, rent to own, my name is Erin by the way," the guy opening the door, Anna fell slowly to her knees,
"Anna, honey, are you okay?" Tristan getting down and trying to help her up,
"Give me a minute" Anna choking, finally it stop. Anna took slow deep breaths,
"Are you okay honey?" Tristan helping her up, he knew it was the weird feelings that she gets sometimes,
"Yeah, its passed," Anna looking at him with tears streaming down her face. Slowly Anna walked in, Tristan was watching her so close, he saw chill bumps on her arms,
"Anna, do you like the place?" Tristan afraid to ask from her reactions and feelings.
"Um, yeah, it feels so cold though, so eerie," Anna hugging Tristan,
"Its okay," Tristan rubbing her back,
"I want the place, I want it," Anna whispered,
"Anna, you're shaking, I don't think this place is right for you," Tristan seriously,
"I WANT this place," Anna pulling away and looking around some more. Anna loved the dresser with the candles sitting on top of it,
"The furniture comes with it, since the recent renters were killed," Erin explained.
"What happened?" Anna seriously,
"The woman was raped and stabbed and thrown out the window, they all say her boyfriend did it but I saw the whole thing, well half of it anyway, her boyfriend came riding up, he wrecked his bike while he died from gunshot wounds and he caused another car to run over him and the bike," Erin shrugged.
"Do you remember what kind of bike he had?" Tristan curiously,
"It was a … you know, I don't recall the name of it, it was Italian," Erin trying to remember the name of it,
"Was it a Ducati?" Anna softly,
"Yeah, but his bike was so mangled because of the car that crashed into it, it was bad, it had to be junked, they had a closed casket service for both of them, that was some pair they made, always together, always happy, like they had a secret and only they knew it, they both enjoyed life, they never fought," Erin telling the story about the previous renters.
"True love never dies, just like the movie," walking to the big square window and sitting in the window seat,
"Did you say something miss?" Erin hearing her mumble,
"It was nothing?" Anna staring out the broken window at the ocean. Tristan walked over to her,
"Are you sure you are okay with this place?" Tristan not liking how she reacted to it,
"Yeah, I like this place, all it needs is love to fill it up again," Anna smirking.
"We'll take it," Tristan telling Erin,
"Okay, I'm going to need a 1,000 down to make sure you are taking it," Erin explained, Tristan wrote a check, Anna gave him a dirty look.
"Its okay, if you want you can pay me back later on," Tristan handing the check to Erin,
"I've seen you before, aren't you the bouncer at the Crash & Burn club, I love your bike," Erin realizing who Tristan was.
"Yeah, I've seen you around, you coming down tonight?" Tristan asked,
"I don't know, I might, you know the guy that used to rent this place, his band is playing there tonight, first night without him, I've been wondering if they have found anyone as good as he was to play in his place," Erin explained.
"I don't think they could do that, that guy could play, his heart and soul went into his music, I don't think anyone plays like that anymore," Tristan seriously,
"Well, when are you moving in?" Erin asked Anna,
"We are going to fix the window first…" Tristan being interrupted,
"I'm moving in today," Anna staring at the pier, she saw a man on the pier, Tristan came over,
"Anna, I thought we…" Tristan being interrupted again,
"I'm moving in today, I got some money with me, I can buy new bed sheets and blankets, get the water and power turned on," Anna sternly.
"Come on, I'll take you shopping, we go back and get the truck and we'll go get some stuff and hey Erin, can you get the water and power turned on," Tristan turning to look at Erin,
"Sure, just give me some money and I'll go and turn everything on," Erin shrugged,
"Erin, I just gave you a check, that was more than enough, damn cut her some slack, she is new in town, she doesn't have a job yet," Tristan getting upset.
"Alright, but only because I know you and because I'm desperate to get this place sold and move on, I don't think I can take this place anymore, there are ghosts here, they keep me awake," Erin seriously. Anna was confused, she looked toward the pier again the man was gone.
"Why are you still here?" Anna having a feeling it was the guy that had been killed, she held her head,
"How did I come to this, this apartment, are you leading to something?" Anna whispered,
"Come on honey, lets go shopping," Tristan helping Anna up, Anna and Tristan left the apartment.
