I had just arrived home from work when my phone rang.
“Hey, Rick,” I answered.
“Drew, I have great news. I rented your apartment today to a very nice young woman. She’ll be moving in this weekend.”
“Ah. Excellent news. Thanks for letting me know.”
“Any time, buddy. Have a good night.”
“You too.”
Chapter Sixteen
Jillian
In my hand, I held the keys to my very own apartment. I’d never had my own place before. Even when I was in college, I lived with Grant.
“How about we do a little furniture shopping?” I smiled at Kristen.
“Sounds like fun. I love to shop for furniture.”
I hooked my arm in hers as we exited the realtor’s office and headed to the nearest furniture store.
“Hello.” A nice-looking young man smiled at us as we walked through the door.
“Hi.”
“Can I help you?”
“Actually, I’m going to spend a lot of money in this store today to furnish my new apartment.”
“Excellent.” He grinned as he saw dollar signs and a nice commission check. “I’m Heath.” He politely extended his hand.
“I’m Jillian, and this is my sister, Kristen.”
“Nice to meet you, ladies. Where shall we start?”
Looking at my watch, I spoke, “It’s two o’clock. How about we start with a glass of wine? You do have wine, right?” I smiled.
“Of course. Red or white?”
“White will be fine. We’re going to look around.”
“Please do. I’ll go fetch some wine, and I’ll come find you.”
“Thank you, Heath.”
He smiled at me as he walked away. He was cute with his six-foot stature, short blonde spikey hair, and green eyes.
“So, where do you want to start?” Kristen asked.
“Let’s start with the living room first,” I spoke as I headed over to some displays.
Heath walked over and handed each of us a glass of wine. “See anything that catches your eye?” he asked.
“Actually,” I smiled, “I think I may like that couch over there.” I pointed.
Walking over to where the dark gray leather reclining couch sat, I sat and instantly fell in love.
