Kane(91)

 

I grunted, “Let’s just go. It can’t be any worse than here.”

 

I didn’t even look at Cala as I got back into the elevator.

 

She fucking sucked at her job.

 

We left disaster number three and headed for the fourth one, which was only five minutes away. I got out of Kane’s Jeep and looked around.

 

“We’re in Upton,” I murmured.

 

Kane snorted. “Yeah, this is where the next apartment is.”

 

“You live two minutes away from here. Keela, too,” I suddenly squealed in excitement.

 

Kane smiled. “Fingers crossed it’s the one.”

 

I quickly crossed my fingers together and whispered, “Please be the one, please be the one.”

 

We entered a building that looked brand spanking new. The lobby was huge and spotless. It even had security! Huge plus.

 

Oh, please be the one!

 

“Fourth floor,” Cala said and gestured us to the elevator.

 

We got inside and rode to our destination. When I stepped out of the lift, I was in awe. The hallway outside of the apartments looked like something out of a five-star hotel.

 

“Wow,” I murmured to myself.

 

Kane led me down the stunning hallway after Cala, then he led me into Heaven.

 

“Oh, Kane,” I breathed. “This is gorgeous!”

 

We entered the apartment and had a look around. I was instantly in overwhelmed. I stared spellbound around the spacious rooms. The sitting room and kitchen were two separate rooms! My old apartment had a combination of the two in the one room and it was so small it would fit into the new sitting room. The hallway was long and wound to the left where the bedrooms and bathroom were located.

 

Without a word, I walked out of the huge sitting room and ventured down the hallway into the kitchen. I gasped when I took in the newly refurbished kitchen that was accompanied with cream gloss cabinets and black marble countertops. The appliances were stainless steel and brand new. Everything seemed brand new.

 

I was speechless.

 

I backed out of the kitchen then turned and walked down the hallway to check out the bedrooms and bathroom. I squealed when I peeked inside the bathroom. Everything was black and white. It had a tub and a shower. The room reminded me of one of the bathrooms in Keela’s house. It was stunning. And clean. Very clean.

 

“I can’t believe this place,” I whispered to myself then left the bathroom.

 

I checked out both of the bedrooms and found they were both master sized with large windows that allowed a lot of natural light to fill the rooms. None of the rooms came with en-suite bathrooms, but that didn’t bother me because I had the mother of all bathrooms next door.

 

I screeched when I walked into what would be my new bedroom and looked to the right of the room. There was a fitted wardrobe that was the length of the bloody wall. It was huge. I opened one of the varnished doors and gasped when the door automatically folded to the side and kept folding revealing the full wardrobe.

 

I heard quick paced footsteps come from down the hall, then a squeak as they came to a stop. “You scared the shit out of me!” Kane’s voice huffed from behind me.

 

I brought my hands to my face and sniffled. “Look at the wardrobe,” I whispered.

 

He laughed, “You like it?”

 

“Love,” I corrected and turned to face Kane with tears in my eyes. “I love it so much. It’s perfect.”

 

Kane’s shoulders relaxed and a smile took over his handsome face. “Then it’s yours, let’s go and fill out the paperwork. We can get you the keys right now—Cala has the keys to all the apartments. They’re all immediate move in too.”

 

I shook my head in disbelief. “How is this place only twenty-five hundred a month?”

 

Kane shrugged his shoulders. “It’s a buyer’s and renter’s market.”

 

“I guess, but this looks like somewhere Tony Stark would happily live. It’s amazin’.”

 

Kane snorted, “Let’s go make this amazing place yours.”

 

I couldn’t form a single word, so I just nodded my head and took Kane’s outstretched hand as we walked down the hallway and back to the sitting room where Cala was.

 

“She wants it,” Kane declared to Cala who smiled.

 

“I thought you might. This place is beautiful.”

 

I still couldn’t speak so I just blink my eyes and tried my best not to cry.

 

I was leasing the apartment.

 

Holy. Fuck.

 

I stared at Cala as she explained the lease to me. I filled out a form for my bank information so my rent could be taken out each month, then Cala went through the ins and outs of the terms and conditions. When I understood them, she gave me a black ballpoint pen, placed the lease on the table and pointed to the bottom line on the page.
