NICHOLAS' APARTMENT BUILDING
los angeles, california
october 2, 2024
thursday
5pm

i parked my bronco in the parking garage of nicholas' apartment building. the guests parking of course and sat in my car for a moment. i took a deep breath to compose myself.

i was excited to see nicholas again, and would be lying if i said i wasn't excited at the idea of staying with him.

after a few seconds i grabbed my suitcase and other bag before i got out of my bronco, locking it quickly before walking into the apartment building.

i entered the lobby, walking through with my bags to a couch to wait for nicholas who i had previously called to let him know i was here.

as i waited i glanced around the lobby which was actually luxurious. the lobby was beautiful and elegant. there was black stone flooring and grey walls that had accent lights, making the lobby look classy.

there were glass elevators with black marble countertops, multiple cozy seating areas in different corners of the lobby, and a concierge desk on the side.

it was definitely a high class building.

i sat down on the comfortable couch in the lobby of the building and took out my phone, scrolling through instagram while i waited for nich to bring me up.

i tried to ignore the stares i was getting from the few people in the lobby, knowing that a new face wasn't seen often around here.

i was snapped from my instagram break when the front doors opened as i saw nicholas walk in. he quickly saw me, his eyes looking me up and down, before walking towards me.

"hey," i said as i stood up, watching as he approached me. "i thought you were up in your place." i said as i observed his outfit. he wore a white workout tee, white athletic shorts, a white hat, white quarter socks and white sneakers.

he looked me up and down as he approached me, as if he was checking me out. i could see the lust in his eyes as he checked me out, it only growing as his eyes explored my body.

he then stopped right infront of me, a smirk creeping on his face. "i was out on a run before you texted me that you were down here." he replied, still eyeing me up and down.

i swallowed hard, knowing he was admiring me. i bit my lip as i tried to remain calm. but his eyes were so intense, my body ached for him to touch me.

before i could say anything, nicholas spoke as he picked up my bags. "let's get upstairs."

"lead the way," i said to him.

he smirked, carrying my bags in his hands as he gestured for me to follow him.

i followed him as he led me across the lobby towards the elevators. and as we walked i couldn't help but to stare at his body. he looked great in his workout gear, his muscles were more pronounced as they flexed underneath the shirt and shorts he wore.

we finally reached the elevators and waited.

my eyes never left him, taking him all in. he was looking straight ahead, seemingly avoiding looking at me even though he could feel my eyes on him.

"take a picture, it'll last longer." he teased without looking at me.

my eyes widened, being surprised that he had noticed how i was staring at him. i laughed softly, my cheeks blushing a bit as he teased me. "i'm just admiring the view." i replied shamelessly.

nicholas chuckled as he turned his head to look down at me, "trust me. i've been admiring the view as well." he said with a smirk.

the elevator arrived and we both walked in. nicholas hit the button for his floor, the 6th.

i could feel his eyes on me, an intense gaze. i turned to meet his eyes with my own. the tension so thick it could be cut with a knife. we stood next to each other in the elevator, silently riding it to the sixth floor.

we stood in silence, both of us stealing glances at each other. the tension was high between us, but neither of us spoke.

the air in the elevator was thick, both of us obviously aching to reach out and touch each other, but we refrained from doing so, remaining silent the entire ride to his floor.

the elevator finally came to a stop, signalling that we had reached the floor. as soon as the doors opened, nicholas held the button for me to well out first, i gave him a soft smile before walking out.

he then grabbed my bags again and started walking towards his apartment.

i stayed right behind him, walking silently as we made our way to his place. my heart was racing, my mind racing at the thoughts of being with him. staying at his place.

we finally reached his door, nicholas set my bags down as he pulled keys out of his pocket to unlocking the door. the whole time i was watching his every move.

i observed how his muscles flexed, admiring how he looked, unable to be patient.

he then turned to look at me once finally having the door open. "after you." he said, gesturing for me to walk inside.

i smiled at his gesture, before walking into his apartment.

his apartment was just as luxurious as the lobby.

it was a large open concept that was stylish and modern with many windows. the furniture was all modern, black and grey with a touch of white.

the place was also very clean, clearly he had a cleaning lady come in. it was a vast contrast from my own apartment, where it was messy.

i looked around as i walked further into the apartment, taking in my surroundings. all the furniture and decorative items were modern and tasteful.

i then turned around to look at nicholas who was closing the door and picking up my bags. "your apartment's nice...really nice." i said as i observed him.

nicholas chuckled as he put my bags down next to the couch. "well i'm glad you like it. welcome to my place."

i smiled softly, "so where's the maid?" i said referring to his neat home.

nicholas took a seat on the couch as i teased about a maid. "well you're actually looking at the maid." he said jokingly.

i raised an eyebrow, "oh, so you're tidy and neat?" i asked.

he nodded. "i can't stand a messy home, i like it clean and tidy." he affirmed.

i cringed internally at his statement. his home was picture perfect, every item had a designated spot in his place. my home on the other hand was the polar opposite. i kept it as clean as i could but with my roommates and our daily routine, our place never looked the neatest. the beds were frequently unmade and the counter top in the kitchen was usually covered in various items.

i swallowed hard and nodded. "mmm," i hummed. "well it paid off."

nicholas could tell my reaction to knowing how clean his home was. he smirked seeing my reaction, he could tell my place was messy.

he spoke, "let me guess...you're not the cleanest person?" he teased, knowing the answer.

"i live with two other girls who are just like me in different forms if that means anything." i said as i sat next to him.

he laughed as i sat next to him on the couch. "so that's a no, then?" he teased once again.

he then placed his leg on the couch and turned so he was faced towards me. he was clearly enjoying my uncomfortable reaction to his clean apartment.

i let out a sigh, defeated in my attempts to lie and tell him i was neat. there was no point in denying what he already knew.

"no..." i reluctantly replied, defeated. "my place is nowhere near as clean as yours. i try when i can, but i've got two other girls as roommates who are messy too." i confessed. "and that's why people love my youtube videos. my place isn't freakishly clean, no offense, but it makes people relate to me."

nicholas chuckled seeing me admit my home's state. he then rested his hand on my thigh, his touch sending tingles through my leg. "oh, no offense taken," he replied as he sat there looking at me. "i'll have to check out some of those youtube videos, see you in a messy state in your home."

i sighed. "i actually have to film a new video soon to post on sunday." i said, my voice underlying that it was a complaint.

nicholas had continued to rest his hand on my upper thigh, his touch driving me crazy as i tried to concentrate on our conversation.

"any ideas on what you're gonna film?" he asked.

"absolutely nothing," i said with the shake of my head. "people love to see my day in a life which is what i've been doing mostly...but i'm sure it gets boring for them. my routine is basically the same."

nicholas nodded as he kept his hand on me, his touch lingering as he listened to me talk about my youtube channel. "mmm," he mumbled in acknowledgment. "so people like the messy lifestyle you live." he stated, the corner of his mouth curled into a smirk.

i couldn't help but roll my eyes at his comment. "don't say it like that, like i'm gross and a slob." i retorted in a jokingly way. sure i lived in a messy environment but it was home.

"how about you spend a day in my shoes and i spend a day in yours?" he suggested. "the filming will be finished filming by saturday if we start tomorrow." nicholas added.

i stared at him, in confusion at what he was suggesting. "you wanna go film a day in each other's lives?" i asked, raising an eyebrow in disbelief.

"i mean you said your audience like your day in a life content, so they'll see your day in a life but in my shoes...and my day in a life in your shoes." he said with a proud smile, "i think it's a genius idea."

slowly i began to nod. "well now that you said it out loud like that, it does sound kinda genius..." i then played with his chain necklace and laughed softly, "you're a genius." i said jokingly.

nicholas continued to rest his hand on my thigh, his touch still lingering on me. he smirked, "i've got quite a few things up my sleeve." he said as if to imply more than just youtube video ideas. "c'mon let me give you a tour of the place." he said as he slowly got up.

i felt a pang of disappointment when he removed his hand from my thigh, letting go of his necklace after he had got up.

i nodded to his suggestion of a tour and stood up. "show me around," i said with a smirk.

nicholas had given me a tour of his apartment, showing me the living room, kitchen, the bedroom, bathroom, office, and laundry room.

he then led me towards the terrace, showing me the outside area. it had a nice little outdoor seating area with a few decorations.

after the tour we went back inside and sat on the couch. sitting just inches away from each other.

"what are you thinking about for dinner?" he asked me.

the thought of eating had slipped my mind. the tour having taken much of my time that it was nearing evening already.

"mmm," i hummed as i thought for a moment. "i'm not sure...i didn't really think about it." i truthfully admitted.

i glanced over at nicholas, his knee was touching my leg, the brief but slightest touch causing heat to pool in my stomach.

"we could do takeout and eat here, watch a movie." he paused, "or eat somewhere lowkey, like get a burger."

the mention of a burger made my stomach rumble. i laughed softly and nodded. "i'm craving a burger...like a juicy one." i said, salivating at the thought of eating a nice burger.

"i know a place nearby," nicholas said. he reached for his phone on the coffee table which was next to us. "this place has some of the best burgers ever." he continued as he started tapping on his phone, probably looking up the place on it's website.

CASSELL'S HAMBURGER
los angeles, california
7:15

we took a seat at a booth by the wall, my eyes looking over the menu and at all the options.

i was surprised how nice the place was. the lighting was a low hue, the air filled with the smell of burgers cooking. the place was very casual but had a welcoming vibe.

i kept sneaking glances at nicholas as i tried to choose my meal, he looked cute while he was focused.

after a few minutes of studying the menu, i finally spoke up, "what're you gonna get?" i asked him, setting the menu down and folding my arms on the table.

he looked up at me, setting his menu down as well. "mmm, their signature burger. it's their best one." he replied.

i nodded at his response, taking his word for it. "best one, huh?" i repeated with raised eyebrows.

"mhm," he hummed. "you've gotta try it." he added.

"you know what, i think i will." i said before noticing the waitress approaching.

she flashed us a smile before opening her notepad, "hi, what can i get you guys to drink today?" she asked.

nicholas nodded for me to respond first, "umm a beer...bud light if you have it." i said as i signaled for him for order.

he nodded to what i said before looking up at the waitress, "i'll have a bud light as well." he said.

the waitress wrote our drink order down and nodded, "perfect, i'll get those for you right away," she paused before continuing, "and are you ready to order the food?" she asked.

i looked at nicholas and nodded that i was ready. he took that as him being ready as well.

after a moment he spoke, "we'll just have two signature burgers, medium rare." he said.

the waitress wrote the order down and then smiled at us again, "your order will be out soon." she said before walking away.

nicholas smiled softly at the waitress as she walked away from the table, before his eyes landed back on me. he sat back against the booth, his arm resting on the back.

i sat back as well, letting out a soft sigh, finally relaxing.

our table was pushed in the corner, giving us the most privacy so nobody was able to eavesdrop on us.

i looked at him, the light casting a glow on his features. he looked handsome, his hair messily framing his face perfectly.

"what were you doing in new york? that day you saw me drinking from my flask in the park?" i asked him. "i'm just curious."

nicholas looked at me, surprised by the random questioning. he thought for a moment, trying to remember the day i was asking about.

"oh yeah that day," he chuckled to himself, remembering that day. his smile grew, "i was there for the show i was in, monsters...it was a mandatory meeting out there." he paused, "decided to take a stroll through the park for fresh air, when i saw you...just sitting alone pouring from a flask."

i chuckled at the thought of him seeing me that day, i must've looked a mess. "so what was going through your mind when you saw poor me, drinking out of a flask?" i teased jokingly. "i mean, you did laugh..."

he continued to smile at me, a playful look in his eyes. "just the way you were...sitting there...drinking so carefree," he paused, "you didn't care who saw." he chuckled again.

he didn't say it out loud, but he thought it was quite attractive that he saw me like that.

i laughed and rolled my eyes. "so you thought it was hot?" i asked, my voice taking a flirty tone. i placed my arm on the table and leaned closer to him in a suggestive manner.

he chuckled again, noticing my change in tone. "yeah, i think i did..." he said in a lowered tone of his own.

he leaned forward as well, our faces now less than a foot apart. slowly he began to close the gap between us, our mouths meeting in a kiss.

his lips felt so soft against mine, the taste of his lips was intoxicating. his hands cupping the side of my face and pulling me closer.

remembering that we're in a restaurant, i pulled back to talk. "is this too much pda?" i asked him quietly.

he looked at me, his eyes hooded with lust. he gave a quick glance around at the other patrons in the restaurant, "nobody cares." he said in a low tone. he looked back at me, a smirk forming on his lips, "besides, even if they did care...i don't." he whispered before he pulled me closer and kissed me again.

i let out a hum against his lips as we continued to kiss. i slowly moved my hand onto his thigh, letting my hand slightly rub against him. the heat building in my stomach intensified, aching for more of his touch.

NICHOLAS' APARTMENT BUILDING
los angeles, california
9:50pm

now being back at nicholas' place, i had already taken a shower and was waiting for nich to get out. to kill time and fill in my girls, i was on the phone.

standing outside on the terrace, holding my cell phone to my ear, talking to them through a group call. i didn't want nicholas to be able to hear what i was talking about.

"you're staying at his place?" marley practically yelled in my ear after she heard the news.

i flinched in surprise from her yelling through the phone. trying to hold the volume down so i wouldn't burst an eardrum.

"jesus, don't yell so loud," i responded in a hush toned voice as i leaned back against the railing of the terrace. "but yes you heard right, i'm staying at his place for a few days."

"i called it! i literally called it. colleen, you owe me twenty bucks!" lucy said.

"excuse me, are you girls seriously betting on my love life?" i said, clearly in a jokingly annoyed manner.

i heard them both start to giggle on the other end of the phone, almost sounding like hyenas.

"can we ask questions?" colleen asked through the phone.

i rolled my eyes, "fine, whatever, ask away." i said with a sigh as i looked out at the view of the city.

"does he have abs?" marley asked a bit too enthusiastically on the phone.

"duh? haven't you seen the edits of him all over tiktok." lucy said. "don't worry, lucky. i haven't liked any or anything...he's just all over my for you page."

i laughed at her comment, "i appreciate it, lucy." i said, with a smile which she obviously couldn't see.

colleen asked, "did you guys-"

i cut her off knowing what her last question would be, "no, no we did not."

i heard them make a collective groan, "well, will you?" lucy asked. "he's so hot and you're literally staying at his place."

i chuckled at their eagerness, "i honestly don't know..." i said, it wasn't a lie, i had no idea what would happen. "look, i gotta go, okay? bye guys..." i said, ready to hang up and give my focus elsewhere.

they all said their collective 'bye's before i hung up the phone and put it back in my pocket. i turned around and leaned back against the railing, waiting for the bathroom door to open.

after a few minutes, i heard the bathroom door open. i turned my head towards the door and watched as nicholas walked out, he wore boxers and was running a towel through his damp hair.

i smiled at him and looked back at the city view, "million dollar view right here." i said.

he chuckled as he walked across the terrace and stopped next to me, leaning against the railing as well. he let the towel rest on his shoulders and looked out along with me.

the city spread out in front of us, lights of buildings and cars shining in the night. for a few moments we just stood there in comfortable silence, taking in the view together.

"we should probably get some sleep, we have an early morning." he said before he walked back inside the apartment.

"we?" i questioned as i followed him, flopping onto the bed since the bedroom was connected to the terrace.

"you're spending a day in my shoes tomorrow, aren't you?" he said as he closed the terrace doors.

i hummed in affirmation as i got under the blankets and snuggled into the pillows. "well yeah, but what the hell are you talking about "an early morning?"" i questioned.

he chuckled as he flicked the light switch off and got onto the bed as well. he slowly pulled the blankets over his body and shifted next to me.

"our day's going to start at 7am." he stated simply, wrapping his arm around my waist.

my eyes widened in horror when he mentioned the early morning wake up. "seven a.m? i was hoping for at least 9 or something, not the ass crack of dawn," i groaned in protest. "you just hate me, don't you?" i added sarcastically.

"i don't hate you," he laughed softly as he shifted himself closer to my body, pulling me close to his chest. he tucked my head under his chin, holding me against him. "i like giving you the true experience," he teased.

"i think that waking up at 7am isn't actually in your daily routine, and you just want the viewers to think you're this hot early bird." i said.

i felt his chest vibrate as he chuckled at my response.

he ran his hand through my hair and shook his head, "no, i genuinely do wake up at seven most mornings," he smiled as he continued to run his fingers through my hair, "some days i wake up at 6am. i'm an early riser."

"do you always go to bed this early too?" i asked thinking about how it was only 10pm.

he kept running his hand through my hair, his fingers gently rubbing my scalp in a relaxing manner. "most nights i go to bed at this time, yeah." he replied. he pulled away slightly so he could look down at me. "why? you want to do something at 10pm?" he teased jokingly.

i looked up at him, his eyes staring down at me. "i'm a night owl," i said before i gently hit his chest jokingly. "i stay up all the time."

he hummed before resting his chin on my head again. "well, you're gonna have to get used to going to bed early." he murmured.

"goodnight, nich." i said softly.

he chuckled, "goodnight, beautiful." he said before he kissed the top of my head.

after a few moments i felt his breathing begin to steady, his grip on me getting loose as he fell asleep.
