Sorry for the wait. I am writing more than one chapter at a time so you can read more. Here is chapter 8.
Jack's POV
"ok we are going to see 5 rooms that are in the area that you are looking for." The lady said. I smiled and nodded, but I can't stop looking at Kim. She looks like she is nervous. I don't blame her because so am I.
"ok and I am hoping to quiz you on what you are looking for in an apartment. Ok?" I nodded. "Ok then, first off, how many rooms?"
"Two."
"how many bathrooms?"
"1 or 2"
"and do you want a balcony and/or windows?"
"Yes"
"ok that is all I needed. I will be back in about 5 minutes with your choices." she said. I nodded while she walked out. I turned to Kim who was sitting there there silent the whole time.
"Hey Kimmy, are you ok. You haven't talked this whole time." I said. She looked up at me. I could see the nervousness in her eyes. What is she so nervous about?
"Yeah I am fine. Just... Well I don't know what is bothering me. I guess I am just nervous about the apartment." she said. I gave up and nodded at her. I slung my arm over her shoulder and she snuggled into my side.
I smiled at the thought of her as my girlfriend. She was the only girl I loved other than my mom and sister. I loved her for two years before I left and while I was gone there wasn't a single day that went by without me thinking about her. My thoughts were interrupted by the lady. She came through the door with a packet filled with papers.
"Ok these apartments are what you were looking for with the range of prices. The maximum price that you can pay is 2,500$ a month. That is the penthouse with a living room, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a dinning room that is also a kitchen, and a balcony/patio with a view of the strip mall and the neighborhoods. Is is the top floor or the 3rd floor." she said. I nodded and looked at Kim. She had wide eyes and she wouldn't blink. I don't blame her. It is pretty amazing.
"Ok and the next one is a little smaller. It is the family suite that is 2,000$ a month and it has two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a dinning room. It also had a smaller balcony. It is on the 2nd floor. This is one of our boost popular apartments that we sell." I nodded and so did Kim.
"The last one is 1,300$ and it is the cozy one of them all. It has 2 bedrooms and bathrooms, a kitchen, a living room and a small patio because it is on the ground floor. It is a smaller space but still very good I will give you some time to think." At that she left and I turned to Kim.
"Ok what do you think. I like that first one. If the guys come over then they have a room for them and if you want the girls over they have a room too. The n we have the other room. The patio/balcony can be where we eat and look at the picture. It is really nice. Ya know, as long as Jerry doesn't break anything." I said. She laughed and a chuckled along with her.
"I like the first one. Lets go with that one. And it is the closest one to school so it will be easier to get there from the apartment." she said. We bath nodded. perfect timing cause the lady walked in again.
"Did you make your choice yet?" She asked looking at us.
"Yeah we do," I said while nodding, " we are going with the penthouse. It gives us room for when our friends come over." I said. She smiled.
"That is great. Now all I need you to do is sign here, here, and here and I will give you the key." She said. I signed and in five minutes we were walking outside hand in hand. I smiled and pecked her on the cheek. I could see her blush.
"So do you want me to drop you at home and we can move my stuff and some of yours in over the weekend." i said. She nodded and gave me a smile.
this was perfect. In about five months me and my girlfriend will be living together. No problems or stress. This has got to be the best day of my life.
