When Our Paths Cross

Michelle's P.O.V
It was my second year in University  which meant I could get my own place so I did. I walked to my new apartment at Gables Columbus Center feeling satisfied as I unlocked the door. I moved my stuff into the master bedroom then took a cold relaxing shower since it was hot. After freshening up I got dressed and moved out to get some groceries. I mean who could live in a place without food?. I arrived home whipped up from such a hectic day. All I wanted to do was to crawl into bed. I unlocked the door and reached for the light switch. I came to a halt when I heard the clanking of dishes in the kitchen.
 
Wait I didn't bring in dishes. Intruder. What do I do? Call 911? Or maybe I'm being delusional?

I heard the tap as it hit the sink.

Nope, nope, it's real. There's an intruder in my house. Already? Nice going Michelle.

I delved for my pepper spray hoping to use it on the intruder. I tiptoed so I could sneak attack whoever it was. My plans were ruined when we clashed. On impulse I pressed on the spray, hard. He stepped back rubbing his eyes. How I figured out it was a male well you already know.
"The Hell", he said irritated. He switched on the lights. As I was about running he gripped my arm. Then he spun me around. He was beautiful. He had black curly hair which was messy and fell slightly on his face. His skin was beautifully tanned. His gorgeous light brown eyes drew me in as I looked up to him. His outfit outlined his masculine features perfectly and I probably looked like a fool just staring at him. "Who are you?", he asked snapping me out of my trance.

"I should be asking you that question".

"Funny. If you can't state your name and your purpose for coming in here I suggest you get out"

Okay, he just ruined the charm.

"Excuse me?. This is 'my house'. I 'suggest you' go out the same way you came in", I said pointing towards the door. He looked at me then smirked. His smirk was cute no doubt there but this wasn't the time.

Why is the world like this? Good-looking guy, crappy attitude.

I mentally sighed. "I think you're mistaken".

"I certainly am not, my agent Julie got me this place."

"Wait Julie?"

"Yes. That's the name of the agent".

"Well your agent is also mine and she got this place for me".

"What?", I said dragging it making me sound dumb.

Dang it. Stupid, stupid, stupid.

I mentally facepalmed. "It doesn't matter now. It's late we'll sort this out tomorrow ".

"Eh..whatever. At least I'm taking the master bedroom".

"I think you should make that taken the master bedroom".

He walked out leaving me alone in the living room. I rolled my eyes and walked into my room to change. I went into the kitchen to arrange the groceries. By the time I got into my room I was completely exhausted. I fell unto the bed with a thud. In a matter of seconds I was out like a light.

Andrews' P.O.V
Everything was set for the move. I didn't take much stuff anyway. I got to the door of my new apartment feeling free as I had my own space. Not that I didn't before but I wanted to be independent. My jaw clenched when I walked in. Someone's stuff was already in there. I walked out again to check the apartment number to see if it corresponded with what I had and it did.

So why the hell is someone's stuff here?

I placed my keys on the kitchen counter and looked around. I unlocked the master bedroom hoping it wasn't occupied. I switched on the lights and all hope came crushing down. I swore under my breath. I scanned the room and came to a conclusion that it was a girl who had hijacked my place. Some thoughts creeped into mind but I shrugged it off.

It wouldn't be too bad.

I closed the chapter on my perverted thoughts and exited the room. I foraged the apartment and she wasn't around so I settled in and waited for her to arrive. Then I would politely kick her out.  I took a cool shower and put on my sweatpants and a white tee. I made my way into the kitchen to get something to eat since I was starving. I took out the saucepan I brought in and rinsed it. I barely started when I heard the door creak open.

That must be her

I left what I was doing and headed towards her. Unfortunately I bumped into her and she pepper sprayed me. "The hell!", I yelled.
I switched on the lights and grabbed her before she could escape. I spun her around to face me preparing a can of  words to toss at her.

Shit, she's beautiful.

Her skin was almost tan and her eyes were striking blue. Her wavy hair which was blonde with brown highlights barely made it past her shoulders. I had to look down to talk to her but I wouldn't call her short. She was of an average height with magnificent curves. Her outfit didn't do well to hide it. Her lips looked soft and glossy as though begging me to kiss them. Then I recognised her. She was in my accounting class.

This might not be bad afterall.

I didn't know her name so I had to ask. "Who are you?". "I should be asking you that question"

Talks back Interesting

"Funny. If you can't state your name and your purpose for coming in here I suggest you get out".
"Excuse me?. This is 'my house'. I 'suggest you' go out the same way you came in ", she said sounding fiesty. She pointed towards the door with a straight face. I looked at her and smirked.

"I think you're mistaken", I said calmly.

"I certainly am not, my agent Julie got me this place".

"Wait Julie?".

"Yes that's the name of the agent".

"Well your agent is also mine and she got this place for me".

"What?"

"It doesn't matter now. Its late we'll sort this out tomorrow ".

"Eh...whatever. At least I'm taking the master bedroom".

"I think you should make that taken".
 
I went towards my bedroom to take a shower. Sure I was taken aback with her being here but I couldn't say I completely hated it. After responding to a couple texts I got some shut eye.
