Drake came over a few minutes later. “I’ll be leaving for the apartment in about ten minutes.”
“Oh, is it time to go?” She looked around and noticed that only two other people besides her and Drake were there. “Let me finish this one application.”
“I’ll go downstairs and make sure the place is secure.” She watched him walk away and sighed with wistfulness. Turning back to her paperwork, Jinx completed the last application and set it to the side.
Shy came over with her bag over her arm. “Hey, I heard you weren’t able to move into your apartment.”
“Yeah, it’s a real pain in the ass. I’ll have to get a hotel for a while until I make other arrangements.”
“You could stay with me. I’ve got two bedrooms.”
“Are you sure you don’t mind?”
“It’ll be fun having another girl around. I can show you around town and we can shop. Please tell me you like shopping.”
“I do, but usually I do it online. I run out of time and I have to get a lot of my clothes in smaller sizes.”
Shy pointed at herself. “Tell me about it. I lucked out finding a few shops that specialize in petite sizes, and I have a seamstress who adjusts the tops because I have a little more at the top than anywhere else. I can show you where to get good deals.”
“I would appreciate, that and if you are sure about the offer, I would say yes.”
“It’s a deal then. I’ll see you tonight at the club.”
“I’ll see you there.”
Drake came up looking at Shy as she sashayed out of the building. It really ticked Jinx off for some reason seeing him openly checking out other women, but it was part of his nature. Besides, he wasn’t her boyfriend, so it shouldn’t make a difference—but it did.
“What deal does Shy want?”
“She offered for me to stay with her while I look for an apartment.”
“You can stay with me longer if you need to.”
Jinx had to give him credit, he was being really nice about things. She grabbed her purse and stood up. “It’s okay, I want to get out of your way. I think this will be perfect, but I appreciate your offering. Ready to go?”
“Yeah, let’s go.”
