Chapter 12

"Cool place," Miss Rose said.

I watched as she stood in the centre of my apartment. She had suggested we come straight to my house to drop off the clothes we had purchased, but I couldn't help feeling extremely nervous about the fact she was here. Furthermore, my whole apartment was a mess. I still had boxes scattered around, the walls were plain. I didn't have the time or the strength to decorate and make it feel more 'homey'.

In summary, there was really nothing cool about my place.

"Thanks." I mumbled, I knew she was just trying to be courteous.

I scratched my head as I looked around, the more I stared at my apartment, the more embarrassed I felt about Miss Rose being here.

"Well.. are you gonna take me to your room?"

What? My heart immediately quickened in pace.

"To put the clothes away."

Oh. I really needed to get my mind out of the gutter, it had been in there all day.

"Yeah, it's right this way."
