Chapter Fifteen

One week. That’s all it took for me to get approved for my new place and to be practically moved in. The whole process went smoother than I could have imagined. Yet, I nearly drove Drew and Jared bonkers with my constant worrying. Even with the continued reassurance from my entourage and Marcie, I fretted over every minor detail. C’mon, that was to be expected. This was a big first for me.

After Marcie called me with the approval, I wasted no time in hightailing it over to sign the leasing papers. As Marcie went over the lease with me, she bypassed the section regarding my security deposit. When I asked how much I should make the deposit check out for, she informed me that my security deposit was waved and my first two months of rent were free.

To say I was shocked by this information was an understatement. Later that night, I returned back to Olivia’s condo to begin packing, but the lack of funds required to secure my apartment bothered me. I pulled the lease out of my satchel and began reading through the legal jargon. When I reached the section pertaining to my deposit and rent, it indicated that they had been paid.

I shook my head, chuckling, as I read the same lines over and over again. Drew had been so upset with me spending money on his suit that he must have taken the one opportunity he could to repay me. There wasn’t a doubt in my mind he had his hand in this. My gut told me to leave things alone. Drew meant well.

When I was given the green light, I wasted no time in taking little odds and ends into my new place. By the weekend, I was completely moved in. Jared was a lifesaver. Anything I asked of him, he did without fail. He even accompanied me in furniture shopping, seeing as I had none. I had to buy a new bed, which I completely splurged on. Maybe it was unwise of me, but I couldn’t help myself. I wanted a king-sized, pillow-top mattress.

During my move, I received numerous calls and texts from Drew. He was disappointed that he wasn’t able to assist me with the move, and wanted constant updates on how I was doing.

The high-profiled case he had taken on blew up the moment it went viral. Everyone around the world knew about the Victoria’s Secret model who was suing her major league baseball player husband for six accounts of infidelity.

Drew had been assigned the case with two others in his firm backing him up. Even with all the assistance, he was piled under mounds of paperwork that could avalanche on him at any given moment.

To tell the truth, I was worried about him. Every time we spoke, he sounded exhausted. Even his text messages were slower and choppier. The only time I had seen him since our day apartment hunting was on television. He was representing the model, and there were countless interviews, both locally and nationally, in which he appeared next to her.
