DIMITRI

Taylor's POV

I turn around and block my ears with the pillow. The walls are so thin that every single movement can be heard as if they are doing it right beside me.

The pillow does nothing for me causing a groan to come from me. I get out of bed and walk to my closet, pulling some sweat out of my drawer. I pull the matching hoodie out and throw it on.

Kelsey, my roommate, seems to moan even louder and I squeezed my eyes shut at the embarrassing sounds.

I wonder what random guy is going to be walking around our apartment shirtless this time. I pull my black fuzzy slippers on before pulling my door open and locking it. I walk through the tiny apartment to get to the door before walking out.

I take the stairs to the lower level before knocking on my friend, Janie's door.

She answers half asleep before letting me in. "You need to move out of that apartment. Move in with me." She says as I hop into her bed. She gets in next to me.

"I want to. I really do, J, but I barely have the money to pay my half of the rent in our crappy apartment. How will I pay for this one? Hell, how do you pay for it all on your own." I stress and she laughs.

"Daddy's paying, sis. I just buy the food. Dad loves you so that is just one more reason to move in." She says smiling at me. I chuckle looking up at the ceiling.

"Thank you but I'm not sponging off of you guys. Your dad works hard for his salary and so do you. I'm not moving in." I say stubbornly and she laughs. "Stubborn as always." She mumbles and pulls me closer to her.

"Sleep child." I say before my burning eyes shut.

I wake up to my phone ringing. Patting around the bed I find it underneath me.

"Hello?" I groggily speak into the phone. "Where are you! You are twenty minutes late, Taylor." I hear Maggie whisper and yell and I jump up.

"Oh goodness." I panic jumping out of bed. Janie is still asleep and I roll my eyes. "Janie wake up. You're going to be late. I'll be there in 10, Maggie." I say and she groans.

I rush out of her apartment and start pulling my clothes off as I get to the door. I push it open as I pull my shirt off. I bump into something hard and jump back when I feel hands on my bare waist.

A scream leaves my lips when I see a really tall, really handsome man standing in the middle of the apartment. He makes it look even smaller than it is and the look on his face makes it clear how unimpressed he is with the place. The expensive-looking suit hugs his body just right and I can't help but stare at his bulging biceps.

Reality dawns on me and I cover my bra clad chest. "Who are you and what are you doing in my apartment?" I ask backing up.

He opens his mouth to speak but I raise my hand. "You know what never mind. You're probably one of Kelsey's flings. I am late for work and I don't need to be dealing with this right now." I say rushing passed him to my room. I unlock the door before shutting it and locking it again.

My cheeks heat up at what just happened but I brush it off before changing into my work clothes. I brush my hair as fast as I can before putting it into a ponytail.
