"Why? What's going on?"

"An apartment opened up in my building. It's just a studio, but I figured that's perfect for you since you aren't home much. You always say how much you like my loft so now you'd have your own. And you'd finally get out of Dad's house so you could have girls over. Or one girl in particular." I hear the smile in his voice.

"How much is the rent?"

"I'm not sure, but it's a studio so it'll be less than mine. So what do you think?"

"Yeah. I'm definitely interested."

"Then you'll have to act fast. Sometimes these rent out within the day."

"I'm on my way to work. I can't get over there right now."

"Then meet me here at lunch. I'll talk to the manager and tell her you're coming to see it."

"Sounds good. Thanks."

I've been putting off getting an apartment but I think it's time now. I get along great with my dad and have no problem living with him, but sometimes I do want more privacy. And now that I have a girlfriend, I don't just want privacy, I need it. I need my own place.
