New York is huge! I saw as I walked to my friends apartment down the road from the train station. I could not wait to start my new job at Williams Company and being offered a chance at CEO. I heard there is another great candidate, but I was not worried, I could handle him. I arrived at the apartment and knocked twice.

"I am coming!" said Sarah my best friend in the entire world. She already lived in New York with a stable job as a designer.

I was thrown out of my thought when the door swung open reviling a very energetic Sarah.

"I can't believe you are here! I missed you so much!" She said as she flew her arms around me tightly.

"Can't breath." I chocked out.

"Sorry" she said releasing me and inviting me in.

Sarah lived in a one floor loft that had a great view of New York. She lead me down the hall to a large bedroom with a bathroom, walk in closet and large reading window. I immediately smiled knowing that when I was not working, I would be spending my time in that window. Sarah left, leaving me to my thoughts.

I thought I would unpack and by the time I was done it was already 10:00pm. I thought I would get some food from the kitchen. Walking down the hall I entered releasing a high pitched scream, as I saw an unknown person in my kitchen.

He turned around bewildered, as Sarah came barreling down the hall with nothing, but a robe and a baseball bat.

"What's wrong?Are you ok?" She said panicked standing beside me.

She looked over at the mysterious guy and smiled.

"Who is that?" I yelled at her, still shocked and scared of the guy in our apartment.

She quickly waved me off dropping the bat as she ran into the guys arms. I just looked at them opened mouthed. I stood there hands on my hips waiting for an explanation. Loosing my patience, I cleared my throat.

They both turned to me as the guy said " Hi there. I'm Jaxon, Sarah's fiancé."

"Fiancé, you guys are engaged!" I shouted in Sarah's direction excited and surprised. Although I was upset she did not tell me.

"Shit! Damn you Jaxon!" Sarah yelled at him.

"How was I supposed to know." He said to Sarah before turning to me "Who are you anyway?"

"I am Camille Parker. Sarah's roommate and best friend." I told Jaxon I walked to the fridge finding something to eat.

"Sorry to scare you. I didn't know Sarah had a roommate."

" No it's fine, I am just glad you weren't a killer. So, you two go and enjoy your night I am just gonna grab a late night snack, then go to bed."

" That sounds good to me." Sarah said as she rushed Jaxon down the hall to her bedroom.

"By the way this fiancé conversation is not over!" I yelled to her as before her bedroom door slammed shut.

Finding an apple I walked back to my room ignoring the moans coming from Sarah's bedroom.

Taking a bite of my apple I opened my lap top to check my email. Scrolling through I saw and email from Tomas Williams the CEO of the company I just got hired to. It said to come in tomorrow so I could learn my way around the office and get to meet the staff. Feeling a rush of excitement I threw my apple away before heading to the bathroom. I got ready for bed and slipped under the covers. I looked up the ceiling waiting for sleep to take me feeling anxious for tomorrow.
