The street rather ran down, but seem safe enough to live.
We got to his condo, which is surprisingly big for one person and looks newly refurbished.
It was newly painted. It has three rooms. Two rooms upstairs and one room on the main floor. It also had a big kitchen with an island counter. Everything was masculine. A gray couch, black wood furniture, grayish/white walls, etc.
Well, I can't complain, we got a place to live while looking for a job.
"I hope my place is enough for both of you." I heard Salvador say.
"Are you kidding me?" I exclaimed.
"It's bigger than I thought it was going to be! And we get to stay for free!" I squealed, making a few titters.
"Who said it's free?" Salvador said with a straight face and my smile withered. Turning my weary eyes to Lucy who was grinning like a Cheshire cat, eyes wandering all over the place with a satisfied grin.
Lucy narrowed her eyes at her brother followed by a hard slap on his forearm.
Salvador burst into a wave of laughter. I scowled at him and he laughed even more.
"Sorry," he murmured guiltily, and I just shook my head, smiling.
"Well, it's time to tour you around my mansion," he jested as he chuckled at his joke.
"The room down here is my office. Upstairs at the left is the master bedroom, and the room across is the guest room. You two decide who's going to occupy the master bedroom. In the meantime, since my flight is in two days, you two can share the master bedroom and I'll take the guest room. For my remaining days, I will be showing you around to get you both acquainted with the place," he explained thoughtfully.
Then, he clapped his hand enthusiastically, shifting his smiling eyes between Lucy and me. I just noticed their uncanny similarity and Lucy. "Ok ladies, I know you are both tired, so ... for the meantime, you can both take a nap, and I'll call you at lunch," as he glanced at his watch wrapped around his wrist.
"It's almost nine in the morning, you have plenty of time to get some sleep before lunch." He proclaimed cheerily.
"I'll just finish some paper works, and we can all go out for lunch." He added on.
"Great!" We both exclaimed.
Rapidly, we raced upstairs, we couldn't wait to hit the bed. As soon as we got into the master bedroom. I kicked my shoes off as I started to discard my clothes. Lucy did the same, leaving just our tops and undergarments, and dived onto the big bed.
It didn't take us long, we drifted off to sleep.

Stavros' POV
I woke up feeling a heavyweight on my shoulder. My head hurts from last night. I don't remember how much I drank. I absentmindedly stared at my side and saw the beautiful blonde, cozily snuggled on my side.
With a fuzzy feeling, I recalled what happened last night.
A satisfied grin broke on my lips.
Several men were trying to hit on her, but her eyes were only on me. My charm has never failed me.
The thought caused my grin to widen.
She was great in bed, I can't question that, but it's just one of those days when my libido calls.
No string attached.
I'm not a man of flowers and chocolates.
Love?
Pft!
My definition of love is lust.
My eyes scanned the unfamiliar place. It must be hers.
So girly. Way too colorful. The curtain that was collected on both sides of the big glass window, had a floral design, even her bedsheets had flowers on them.
She had two purple armchairs and the wall was painted red. It looks like they just splashed a bucket filled with a bunch of colors and poof, done. To be honest, from what I see, she has no sense of taste, whatsoever.
I slowly and gently moved her arm away from my chest, trying not to wake her up, and crawled quietly out of her bed.
I hurriedly picked up my discarded clothing and put it in a haste.
On my way out of her apartment, I checked my phone, and saw five missed calls, all from Andrea.
I called Pancho on the way out.
"Yes, Mr. Demakis. On my way, sir," he answered briefly.
I walked to the other side of the road and entered a coffee shop. A headache started to grow, feeling like a group of carpenters is hammering my skull relentlessly.
