“I love this place!” I smile in awe, inspecting the oak flooring and white walls. If I close my eyes and imagine all my furniture in here, this place could be insane. The wall on the far end is covered in skyscraper windows, lighting the rooms up beautifully. The ceilings aren’t high but high enough and I imagine a chandelier hanging my dream couch.
“It’s one of our best apartments at the moment, the kitchen is simply beautiful too,” the estate agent states, walking ahead of us. I follow him, Alex close behind. As soon as I enter the kitchen, my smile grows wider.
White modern kitchen units line one side and there’s a ceramic oven with a built in extractor hood. The floors are a shiny black marble and the entire kitchen is brightly lit with the windows running along the side.
“Oh my god, this kitchen is perfect!” I gush, opening up the drawers and inspecting inside the oven. Everything is brand new, ready to be used by its new owner.
“How soon can I move in?” I beam, turning back towards the estate agent. He chuckles at my keen reaction before noticing Alex glaring at him behind me. “I’ll finalise everything with the owners and I’ll be in touch in the next few days.”
He says professionally, clearing his throat. I let out a little squeal, clapping my hands together. In that moment, his phone rings and he holds up his hand whilst answering it, taking a few steps away from us. I spin around, facing Alex.
“What do you think?”
“It’s alright, I suppose.” He shrugs and my posture deflates, my eyes narrowing at him.
“You don’t like it?” I question.
“Does my opinion matter? If you like it, move in. It’s pretty simple”
My eyebrows shoot up at his sudden hostile personality and I slowly nod.
“Wo-ow, okay. Did you just get your man period?”
Alex stares at me in disbelief, the corners of his lips twitching. He takes a few long strides until he’s stood directly in front of me, leaning forward so that his palms. are resting on the kitchen counter. I gulp as I notice I’m trapped between his strong arms.
“Let me move in with you.”
That is the last thing I expect him to say.
My jaw drops open and I simply stare at him, my eyes wide.
“W-what did you just say? Are you crazy?” I respond.
“No, I want to move in with you.” Alex says casually.
“You hardly know me Alex.”
“People move in with each other all the time, we can split the rent. Separate rooms unless you want to stay in mine…” Alex drifts off, a smirk plastered on his face. I continue to stare at him in disbelief, unable to form a proper sentence.
“I-I can afford the rent.” I stutter, my mouth becoming dry. Living with Alex, is he crazy to suggest such a thing? How could I possibly live with him?
“Can you? You work in a coffee shop hermosa. Did you see what he’s advertising this apartment for?” Alex asks me and I scowl at his intimidating tone. I don’t reply and instead shove his chest, attempting to move him backwards. He barely flinches.
“I. Can. Afford. The. Rent.” I argue back, narrowing my eyes at him. Alex continues to smirk down at me, brown eyes sparkling mischievously.
“Yo, Mr Real Estate??” Alex yells, his voice echoing through the empty apartment. He turns his head briefly however his eyes remain fixed on mine, ready for my reaction.
“Yes?” The guy answers, his voice floating through the air.
“Can you remind us how much the rent is again, per month?” Alex yells back and I widen my eyes at him, shaking my head. Alex pauses, waiting for his response.
“One thousand, one hundred. Without bills.
My jaw drops open until it almost hits the damn floor. Alex fully turns back towards me, his face smug looking and proud. He leans down until his lips are hovering over mine and I lose the ability to breathe. My lungs and throat tighten and I feel myself swoon underneath him.
‘I told you’, he whispers, his warm breath hitting my lips. I close my eyes and inhale deeply, shoving at his chest again.
“I can find somewhere else” I murmur, the disappointment filling my voice. I can’t afford that. Alex is right, I work a minimum wage standard coffee job. It’s nowhere near enough to be able to afford an apartment like this.
“Let me rent it with you, problem solved.” Alex argues back, using his smile to win me round. I have to admit, his smile is a deadly weapon tool for persuasion. I shake my head, dipping down and escaping from his hold.
“I can’t do that.” I repeat over and over again.
“Why not?” Alex frowns at me, leaning back against the counter and crossing his arms over his broad chest. I pinch the bridge of my nose and inhale deeply.
“Because Alex! You scare me. Being around you scares me.” I admit, opening my eyes to see his reaction. His face is emotionless, eyes staring straight through me.
“You’re afraid of me?” He questions, his voice dangerously low. I nod my head, gritting my teeth so tightly, my jaw begins to hurt.
“Why?”
“I can’t tell you that.” I whisper quietly, spinning on my heel and heading for the exit. I need to get away from him and away from this apartment. I don’t want to admit it but I’m afraid of what I see in his eyes.
I see my future.. I see us living together in this apartment, I see us smiling and laughing, I see us both happy..
That scares the living crap out of me.
Within seconds, I began to vision my future. Completely. opposite to the way I’ve pictured it the past few months. How does he have the ability to change my plans within. seconds How can I have such little control when it comes to Alex?
“He’s a stranger Ariana, he’s a stranger,” I mutter to myself as I press continuously at the elevator buttons, begging for the doors to close. I need to get out of here and get away from Alex. I need to go back to living my normal life without sexy voices and shivers and danger.
I need normal
I need… boring
