Exploring the Apartment 2

As I reach the top of the staircase I am once again faced with the decision of left or right. This time I chose to turn right first. Walking into a short hall I can either go straight into what looks to be a small sitting room or right again into a small foyer. I choose right entering the foyer and I turn towards the open door. To say I immediately fall in love with the room that greets me would be an understatement. Books line the majority of the walls and some small shelves scattered throughout the room. The light comes from many large skylights giving the room a more natural feel. Dark oak furniture accented with red furnishings soften the room slightly, but overall it feels like a very masculine space. Feeling as if I am trespassing I back slowly out of the room. Maybe I will explore the shelves later.

As I retrace my steps I can’t help but think of the man that owns all this, especially considering the place looks barely lived in. Does he ever spend time here? Will I ever really see him? With these thoughts I walk into the small sitting room. Looking around I see an immaculately made bed through the double doors. Walking through them I see an empty closet, again making me believe that this is another guest room. I thought he had said that there were clothes and such waiting for me? I’ve looked nearly everywhere and seen very little sign that there is anything here. Deciding to look at the other end of the floor, I walk back towards the hall.

At the end of the hall I have three options, Left, right and straight ahead. All the doors are closed so I have no idea what is on the other side of them. Deciding to go straight ahead I reach for the door handle, hesitating slightly. What if it's somewhere I am not supposed to go? I guess I will find out one way or the other. Turning the handle, I find it unlocked and so I slowly open the door. Peeking my head through the gap I believe I have found the master suite. Dominating the space is a large bed, definitely big enough for two. Noticing a small pile of things sitting on the end of the bed, I enter the room to have a peek. On top of the items is a handwritten note.

“Victoria, 

These items are for your use as is this bedroom. As you leave this room, to the left you will find your closet, dressing room and bathroom. Everything to the right is off limits and as such is locked. 

Austin.”

Well, I guess he knew I would be snooping. Or assumed Erin would have shown me around. I mean he did kind of tell her to. Lifting the note up, I begin to examine the packages beneath it.

The first thing I spot is a brand new, top of the line iPhone. Opening the box I power it on and see that he has indeed programmed his and Erin's numbers into it, alongside the concierge for the buildings and his drivers. Setting it aside, I make a note to add Kenzie’s number to it later. The next package reveals a new laptop, again Apple branded, as well as a new iPad. I guess Mr Aves has a sense of brand loyalty. I think with a slight chuckle. Beneath all of these packages is a small white envelope. I pick it up and open it to reveal a black credit card with instructions to use it as I wish, with a side note that travel without his permission was expressly forbidden. Haha of course it is. Maybe I can get back at him a little by making some huge donations to different charities using his money! Heading out of the bedroom door I turn to the left and open the door.

The sight that greets me is every woman’s wet dream. Shoes line the length of one wall, in every style I could think of and in every colour of the rainbow meaning I would never struggle to find a pair to match any outfit. Along the opposite wall is literally any outfit one could possibly need. Glancing at a few of the labels I see that they are indeed all designer, including the sweatpants. Sighing, I turn to look in the master bathroom. The shine from the white marble almost blind me as I step into the room and the giant sunken bathing pool sings out my name. Answering its siren call I decide to take some time for myself and have a relaxing soak.
