Chapter 3
Kevin Kinkirk jumped off of the couch when he heard a knock at the door and he shut the TV off.
Who could that be? He wondered and scratched his head. Was he expecting company? He didn't think so but you never know.
So Kevin opened the door and his eyes widened at the sight of a young woman standing on the other side.
"Oh, uhh, hi," Kevin greeted and checked his memory for a name, nope he didn't know her, he was sure that he would remember a face like that.
She wasn't tall, but the long black heeled boots that she wore gave her about another 3 inches, she was wearing a short, black pleaded skirt and a black silk turtleneck. He hair was long and blond and was hanging down her back slightly wind-blown. Her eyes were big and blue and she bit her lightly glossed bottom lip.
"Hi, I'm Lu--Anna." She said quickly thinking of her middle name and stuck out her hand hesitantly and he took it.
"Hello, Lu--Anna," he said and smiled. She blushed with embarrassment and stepped back.
"Just Anna actually," Lucy said quietly.
"Oh, well hi."
"Um, I know that this is sort of last minute and whatever, I'm sorry I didn't call, it's just, I wanted to know if the room in your apartment was still available," Lucy rambled and he smirked.
"Yes, it's still available."
"Oh, well um...good, bye." She turned and started walking down the hall. Too good to be true, Lucy thought to herself and continued to walk. She wasn't going to live with...a guy, she knew that sounded bias, not every guy was like Peter, but she wouldn't be comfortable, and this guy definitely made her uncomfortable. He was tall and built with narrow hips and an angular face that intrigued her. He had light brown hair and as soon as he opened the door he alerted all of her senses, and it wasn't in a dangerous way, well, not the way that Peter was.
"Wait!"
She heard someone call after her and turned around to see him chasing her. She didn't stop, she continued to walk and then pressed the button for the elevator.
"Wait!" he said again and caught up with her. "Don't you wanna rent the apartment?"
Lucy looked up and met his gaze. "Umm...yeah, I don't think so."
"Then why'd you come here?" he asked with a laugh and she blushed.
"Just to umm...look."
"You didn't look."
"Yeah, um, I saw a little, it isn't what I'm looking for," Lucy told him quickly.
It wasn't until now, when she pushed her hair out of her face that he saw the bruised cut on her cheek.
"Ouch," he said without thinking and she raised an eyebrow obviously confused. "How'd that happen?" The elevator door opened in back of them and she absently brought her hand up to her cheek when she realized what he was talking about. Her eyes got wide and she nearly tripped when she stepped backwards into the elevator.
"I...I--fell," she lied and breathed a sigh of relief when the doors closed. She definitely wasn't staying there.
