The Apartment Novels & Stories

It caught her by surprise and threw her into a temporary trance but once he turned away, she broke out of her reverie. He really is an idiot, she sighed inwardly. …. Yang and Lim were at a dingy little apartment at the city’s downtown. The building they entered was rented to tenants at very cheap rent. Each unit consisted of only one room and a small bathroom and the building was situated in a narrow alleyway right next to the local market.

The idea settled into the room, heavy and unfamiliar. “It’s close to campus,” Evelyn continued. “Two bedrooms. You’ll have your own space. And I’ll help with the first few months’ rent.” Lily sighed. “We’ll manage.” Aaron nodded. “I’m fine with it.” Neither of them sounded entirely convincing. ⸻ The apartment was small but clean, tucked into a quiet street just a few blocks from campus. Sunlight filtered through thin curtains, dust motes dancing in the air. It smelled faintly of fresh paint and new beginnings.

There were only four units per floor, it showed how large each unit was. "This was my apartment, where we will live together," said Skandar after inviting Charisa to enter. Charisa, she stood in the middle of the apartment’s living room. The girl's round eyes surveyed a room that looked twice as large as her former house’s living room. Was this really called apartment? Was the apartment located in the tall building? Charisa asked herself. "You have had wonder-stricken enough, you should take a bath and change your dress. I'll be waiting for you here." Skandar immediately led his wife into their bed room, and closed the door from

CHAPTER 33: A Date The apartment was supposed to be temporary. That’s what I told myself when I signed the lease six months, close to campus, cheap enough not to raise flags. Two bedrooms, one bathroom, narrow kitchen that still smelled faintly of paint and dust. A place to exist, not to live. Aidan moved in with two duffel bags and a box of books he didn’t remember buying. He stood in the doorway for a long time, staring at the space like it might rearrange itself if he waited long enough.

Room 3B Benita Hayes The thick smell of burnt white sugar and cheap laundry detergent hit me the very second I pushed open the heavy, water-warped wooden door of the apartment building. There was no uniform security guard sitting behind a polished marble desk down here, there was no indoor waterfall to mask the street noise, and there was definitely no central air conditioning hum to cool the air. There was only a narrow, claustrophobic stairwell covered in peeling dark green paint and a single, low-wattage yellow lightbulb hanging miserably from the ceiling by a frayed black wire.

“Instead of staying in a hotel, how about we stay in an apartment. It’s way more comfortable and will provide a feeling of home for the boys.” “Mummy I want to stay in an apartment.” Hayden says. “Do you even know what an apartment is?”, Jayden rolls his eyes. “Is it the same as our house Uncle Karl”, Braden gestures looking around the house. “Well you could say that.” “Are you sure Karl?”, I ask. “The boys will have their room and we’ll each have ours.”

“Of course. Ask away.” Feeling a bit relieved, I nod my head and turn on my tablet. Just then, the doors open, and a beautiful apartment is revealed. The apartment is large and spacious, with white columns, a high cathedral ceiling, and white, polished marble floors. The place has wall-to-wall ceiling to floor windows with white crown molding surrounding it. The place is gorgeous, but maybe I’m biased because I don’t think it’s as beautiful as Micah’s penthouse.

Willow "Mom, this is like the 100th apartment we've been to, and it's still no good. I'm tired," Cami groans, throwing her head back against the wall behind her, and I glance at the real estate agent who is still going on and on about the perks of living in this two-bedroom apartment that feels more like a shoebox. It's only the fourth apartment we've been to since we started our hunt just after brunch at the diner, but just like the first one, it's not the one.

he declares. I shake my head. "Then we can now afford an apartment for ourselves. We will soon look out for a place of our own to give you your privacy again," Ruth promises with a smirk. I took care of that too. "There is an apartment available in this same building. Not a penthouse, but convenient for the two of you. I asked the management to hold it until you have viewed it. That can be tomorrow morning," I tell the couple in front of me. My sister jumps around my neck. "Ooohhh God! Thank you, sis. You are great!"

I didn’t expect I’d be able to settle everything instantly that very morning. Maggie; Lydia’s niece, helped me with the apartment and I must say the place passed my taste. I wasn’t really looking for anything grand, just as long as I could have a roof on my head before the night comes, I’d gladly take it. However, the place looked really nice and neat. It’s a single bedroom apartment painted in beige and white. And Lydia’s right! It’s very cheap. Not to mention, it’s close to the city so it’ll be very convenient for my work.
