A month had passed since Virginia left Evendre and she hadn't looked back. She and Adrew were getting closer every day and was getting strong feelings for him and she knew he was getting strong feelings for her as well. She tried to avoid him but it wasn't easy to do since she worked for him. He had invited her to a weekend camping trip with him and his family but she declined. She knew he wanted her to meet more people but she would not feel comfortable being with his family. She had to change her number because everyone back home was contacting her and trying to get her to come back but she refused. She couldn't go back because she didn't have a place there. The only person who had her number was her best friend Sam and she was sworn to secrecy not to say anything. Sam knew everything and the reasons why she left. She snapped out of her thoughts and went back to the task at hand and that was to find her a permanent place to live.
This place was nice and all but it didn't fill like home she wanted something more spacious. She was searching around online and came across a place to rent so she picked up her cell and called it. She wrote down the address and decided to go take a look at the place. She had no idea that it was in the same apartment complex where Andrew lived either. She drove to the place and found a parking space and parked. She then made her way to the office and knocked. From what she could tell just from the outside this was a nice place to live. The complex was gated and had a swimming area. " Can I help you." the woman said who answered the door. Virginia could tell just by seeing what she did that the inside was just as nice. " Yes my name is Virginia Cantell and I called about the apartment earlier." she told her. The woman than smiled at her. " Yes I remember now." she said to her as she flashed her a smile. Virginia smiled back at her. " Well I was wondering if I could possibly look at it today." she said to her. The woman looked at her and smiled. " Sure just let me get the key." she said.
The woman came out a few minutes later and the two walked to the apartment. " This apartment was just remodeled and each apartment comes with it's own washer and dryer hook ups if you prefer to do your laundry there or we have a community laundry room as well." she told her as she unlocked the door. The two women stepped inside and right away Virginia fell in love with it. The apartment was spacious and was a two bedroom and one and a half baths. She could tell it was redone too. " The kitchen is average size and comes with a dishwasher and a glass top stove. It is all electric as well." she told her as she continued showing her the place. " How much is the rent?" she asked and hoped it was affordable because she wanted it. " Rent is $ 550.00 a month with trash paid and the deposit is $250.00 and if you have a pet or wanting to get one an additional $100.00 will be added on to the rent." she explained.
Virginia liked the apartment but felt it was too expensive for her to get right now. " It is very nice and I would like to get it but I am afraid it is way out of my league right now." she said as the two women walked back to the office. " I can understand that." she said to her. The two women talked for a little while and then Virginia turned to leave. " If you change your mind all you have to do is call and we will set everything up." the woman said. Virginia nodded her head and walked back to her car. She really wanted a place of her own but couldn't live beyond her means to have one nor did she want to drain her accounts just to rent a place either. She sighed, started her car, and drove off. She would have to go back to where she was currently staying and search around some more until she found a place that she loved and could afford both.
It wasn't like she didn't get paid enough working for Andrew because she did it was the fact that she had only been there a month and didn't have that kind of money saved up because if she used it all then she would be broke and she did not need that. She was about to pull out when her phone rang. " Hello." she said when she answered it. She recognized the number of her best friend. " Hello Ginger." Sam said and called her by the nickname that she had gave her. " Hey Sam what's up?" she asked her as she put her ear peace in and started her car. " Nothing much. Just calling to let you know that everyone is asking me questions as to why you left." she said. Virginia than backed out of the parking space and put the car into drive. " You haven't told them anything have you?" she asked her. She knew Sam wouldn't but had to be sure. " No you know I wouldn't say anything, but I think you need to call your parents and tell them." she told her.
Virginia sighed and rolled her eyes. Sam you know I can't tell them or anyone anything." she told her best friend. " I know this but I think everyone would be understanding and forgiving." she said to her. Virginia thought about this for a minute and knew she was right but still couldn't tell anyone. " Sam I can't." she said as she made a left hand turn. Sam sighed. " I know this but I miss my best friend." she said to her. Virginia missed Sam as well. " I miss you too. Soon I will let you come and visit me I just need to find a decent place to live." she told her. She explained to Sam everything that was going on and about the apartment she had just saw. " I know you will find something soon." she said to her.
The two women talked until Virginia reached the place she was currently living at. I need to get off of here I got a long day of apartment searching ahead of me." she said. So the two women went hung up and Virginia got out and headed to her apartment. As soon as she made it in the door the tears started flowing.
