Shawn narrowed his eyes at me 
" So you like Messing with me huh you're paying" Shawn teased and I knew what was next Thats why I ran. 
                          
I ran but the house was too small and shawn was fast . He caught hold of my waist and I wriggled in his hold laughing badly.  He lifted me off the ground and spun me. We were laughing badly in each other's hold when Adam walked in.  
                          
" Um did I disturbed ? " He cheekily teased.  
                          
He instantly put me on the floor and we were blushing badly in embarrassment.  We shook our heads.  
                          
" So how about it ? " He asked me 
                          
" Not really my choice . I think I like the first one the most " I said 
                          
" There's still one left.  If you wanna check out ." He suggested .
                          
" Alright we still can " I suggested and Shawn nodded.  
                          
We take around the last flat . It was near Shawn's apartment , more like one block away . It was exactly how I wanted . Pretty big and nice but not under my budget but I still wanted the first one because it was closer to college and all the work places. 
                          
" Honey. I'm sorry someone bought the first one a few days ago behind my back "  Adam said after being on call with someone . 
                          
" Ohh . We can look for some other maybe another day " I suggested.  
                          
" I would but honey I'm not home for a week . It's our anniversary week and we're going Paris " he said . 
                          
" Oh it's okay.  I'll see what I can do " I replied 
                          
" The budget of this house might drop soon though " he said and I nodded. 
                          
" By the way happy anniversary " I said and he thanked . 
                          
After dropping him home Shawn took way to my house . 
                          
" I'm sorry for making you drive all day" I said 
                          
" Its fine " he said and silence fell upon 
                          
" How long do you have until they buy the house ? " he asks 
                          
" Well it all depends on me.  Whenever I leave it.  But in a few days they'll own it because the paperworks take time ." I said . 
                          
" When will the paperwork finish ?" He asked 
                          
" We're planning on completing by Thursday " I replied and he simply nodded. 
                          
" You can stay over at mine " he suggested 
                          
" It's alright . I'll buy the apartment soon " I said 
                          
" No really.  You can complete the paperwork by Thursday and then there's only 4 days until uncle would come back and you can buy the apartment " he said 
                          
" I don't wanna trouble you " I said truthfully 
                          
" Come on how do you know I would be troubled ?" He asked 
                          
" Because you don't let anyone in your house , In your car and all the stuff that I am not aware of . I'm pretty sure I'm troubling you " I replied 
                          
" You cannot trouble me . I know I don't let anyone do that but you ,  but  it's because now you know me and I can always help you " he said and he grabbed my hand on my knees and squeezed it gently.  I smiled back at him . 
                          
" I will see " I just replied and the rest of the drive was silent. 
                          
" Thanks . By the way you can come in " I said as we pulled over in front of my house.  
                          
" Oh no its fine . We've got college tomorrow " he said and we said good-bye and left .

After hitting up with Shawn a couple of times this week I decided I'd move my things out a little since I had to move out anyways and the new owners are actually planning on reconstructing it.  
                          
Other week had started and I got the news this weekend that the price of the particular house near Shawn has dropped by 30%  since it had been empty for quite a long time now and Christmas was on the way.  
                          
So started off with this Monday I started looking for works and I'm still waiting for the calls to return.  
                          
" Hello am I speaking to Taylor grace?" The lady on the line said.  
                          
" Yes I am . May I know who am I talking to ? " I answered on the line 
                          
" I am Margaret Rivera from Jitters theatre " she replied 
                          
" Oh . Yeah I remember you.  How can I help you ?" I asked 
                          
" I just wanted to tell you that you may join for the post of tickets from whenever you are available ! You already know all the conditions " she replied 
                          
" Oh my god.  Thanks a lot.  I will join up soon. Will I meet you there ?" I asked 
                          
" Yes you will.  You're welcome " she replied and we cut off the call.  
                          
After all I'm not unemployed anymore and I will start working soon. 
                          
Shawn and I made our way to the property dealer of that actual house and completed the paperwork completely owning it.  
                          
" I really have to say thanks for putting up with me " I said as I buckled my seat belt 
                          
" It's alright " he nonchalantly Replied.  
                          
" You alright ?" I asked as I noticed the tension
                          
He looked at me
