Eight

It was the perfect size.

Over a thousand square feet. Two bedrooms and equal bathrooms. A small set of stairs led to a spacious bathroom. A kitchen was loaded with all of the latest appliances, illuminating the small space of shiny stainless steel and marble countertops. It was located on the top floor and Sydney had access to the courtyard that contained a small rose garden, table and chairs, and an overhead shade for the warmer days. It boasted of sweeping views of Downtown Los Angeles and if Sydney looked hard enough, she could spot Santa Monica in the far distance.

The price of the loft was quite expensive – running almost four thousand a month in rent, with the option to buy. The selling price was over a million dollars and it was something too expensive for Sydney’s pockets, though the loft was her dream space.

She began to imagine all of the art she could create. She’d already visualized a warrior man with long, flowing hair with his partner next to him as they looked out into the distance. She saw a portrait of a nude male, standing in front of a mirror, with a smirk on his face. She could spend her days and nights creating art while Dean had an away game or were at practice. The loft could be their second home away from home.

It was perfect for her. It was perfect for them.

I wish Dean was here, Sydney silently pouted. Dean was slow on purchasing the loft Sydney originally wanted, complaining how far away it was from their home. He couldn’t accompany her to view the current loft because of his photo shoot.

Naturally, Ian stepped in. “So, what do you think?” Ian asked as Sydney looked around. “Is this to your liking?”

“It’s great!” Sydney turned to her mother. “What do you think, Mom?”

“It’s very nice,” Nancy looked around the loft. “Very, very nice.”

“Great. It’s settled. This is your artist’s loft.” Ian declared. “Let me know if you need help with moving supplies and equipment.”

“Well, I can’t afford this.” Sydney replied. “I love this loft but it’s too expensive and I want to get Dean’s opinion.”

“I’m sure your fiancée would love it if you do.” Ian smiled. “Besides, this is a popular loft that has a lot of interest. If you love it, you’re getting it.”

“I can’t afford this!” Sydney repeated. “I don’t even have a hundred dollars in my checking; how am I going to afford this monster down payment?”

Ian walked up to her and caressed her cheek. “It’s done. Consider this an early wedding gift to you and Dean.”

Nancy carefully watched the interaction between Ian and Sydney. Ian was very touchy-feely. “Hmmph.” She folded her arms.

“I’ll speak with the realtor now.” Ian walked over to the realtor.

Nancy waited until Ian was out of earshot before she approached her daughter. “Baby girl, can I speak with you for a moment?”

“Sure!” Sydney walked over to her mother. “What is it?”

Nancy hesitated and grimaced before she decided to speak again.
