Disclaimer: I dont own anything

Anna-Marie got out of the parked moving van and looked up at the apartment building in front of her. She then looked back at the rental van that held all of her possessions from her furniture to her clothing and silently cursed, knowing that her new apartment was on the third floor. Realizing that standing there wouldn't get any work done; she went to the van and pulled out a few boxes heading towards her new apartment.

After forty-five minutes had passed she had barely made a dent in the gargantuan pile of craps she knew as her only belongings. She felt sweat roll down her neck and she mentally kicked herself for moving to New Orleans in the middle of August.

"Need some help?" A voice called from behind her. She turned around to find herself staring at a tall, well built man with blonde hair and brown eyes.

"Ah'd love some," she replied.

"I'm Graydon Creed," the man smiled, "I live here too. Moving in here is like hell especially if you live on one of the upper floors because there no elevator."

"Don't Ah know it," she smiled. "Ah'm Anna-Marie"

By seven, they had successfully moved everything into Anna's and arranged all of the furniture. Anna looked around the decently sized three bedroom two bath apartment and smiled. She took the largest room with the connected bathroom for her bedroom. The other two rooms were turned into a guest room and a workout room.

"Ah'm exhausted," Anna said collapsing on the couch.

"I know, remind me never to help you again." Graydon responded sitting on the chair next to the couch.

"Let meh make it up tah yah," she turned around to face him, "Ah'll but yah dinner."

"No way!"

"Why not?"

"Because, I can't let a girl pay for my dinner."

"Oh don't be such a guy. Come on, Ah'm buying your dinner no mater what yah say."

"Fine, but I don't feel like getting up"

"Don't," she said walking over to the phone, "we'll order in"

An hour later both Graydon and Anna had finished all of the food that had been ordered and were laying in Anna's newly furnished living room.

"I have never seen a girl eat that much." Graydon exclaimed from the ground

"Well get used to it sugar," Anna turned around to look down at Graydon from the couch, "because ah constantly eat. It comes from livin' with mah brother, Kurt, with him yah had tah eat as much as yah could before he got there or yah weren't gonna eat anything"

"Your brother huh? Where's he?"

"Back in New York, where Ah moved here from."

"Why'd you leave?"

"Ah had tah get away from mah parents, so as soon as ah turned eighteen I moved out here. Ah've still got one more year of high school left."

"Why'd you move two New Orleans?"

"Ah love the city. AH have evah since Ah was a little girl in Mississippi."

"I know what you mean. I came here once on vacation and I fell in love. I found a school I could attend and moved down here as soon as I could." Graydon smiled at her.

"School huh? What are yah studyin'?"

"Political Science."
"Good luck with that." Anna replied jokingly.

"What about you got any interests?"

"Not really. Ah lahke writin'. It might be fun to travel yah know see the world."

"That sound like fun."

"Well it probably won't happen."

"You never know."

"Ah guess not. Ah mean its not lahke Ah got anything to attach myself tah this place."

"I'm hurt, am I not enough to keep you here Anna?" Graydon joked.

"Gray, yah are one of the reasons I want tah leave." She replied

"That's harsh. You really know how to make a guy feel unloved."

"Yah know Ah'm joking. Ah'll keep yah around for a while, after all its not lahke Ah know anyone else." Anna yawned.

"Well I should probably get going." Gray said standing up.

"Ok," Anna responded, "thank yah again for helping meh out."

"No problem. I'll see you tomorrow?" he asked

"Sure thing Gray."

"Night."

"Night." She said as he walked across the hall to his apartment. She smiled and walked to her bedroom. Maybe New Orleans won't be too bad, she thought as she drifted off into sleep.
