Love In New York
The Beginning of Everything.
Ivy had just boarded her plane from Florida to New York and made it. Right after getting off of the plane, Ivy went straight to the baggage claim area to get her luggages. One of her bags were a large purple suitcase, a black large suitcase, and she was holding her duffle bag on her shoulder along with her travel backpack. She tried to carry all of them to the front of the airport to call in a taxi.
As a taxi came in, the driver helped Ivy put her bags in the trunk while Ivy stood there searching for the address in her notebook. She had wrote it down the night before but had forgotten where she wrote it at. She finally found it once the driver was done loading her bags in the trunk. Then the driver invited Ivy into the car. She went in the car to sit and closed the door behind her. Then she showed the taxi driver the address and they drove away.
As driving across New York, they passed by the Brooklyn Bridge and Central Park.
After 10 minutes of driving, they had arrived at hotel. The taxi driver parked at the loading zone of the hotel out front and unloaded Ivy's bags on the floor. She got out of the car and counted money to pay for the driver.
Afterwards, the taxi driver drove off and Ivy took her bags inside of the huge hotel. She walked to the lobby and at the front reception desk.
Reception Desk Person : Hello. How may i help you today ?
Ivy : Hi. I would like to check in.
Reception Desk Person : what is your name ?
Ivy : Ivy Manovitz.
[Reception Desk Person looks it up in the computer and sees it]
Reception Desk Person : you are staying here for 3 days, 2 nights, right ?
Ivy : yes, thats right. But i could leave early depending if i have work or not.
Reception Desk Person : alright. just tell us if anything changes.
Ivy : definitely.
Reception Desk Person (*hands the room key & says) : here's your room key.
Ivy (*takes the room key & says) : thank you.
Reception Desk Person : is there anything else you need ?
Ivy : Ah. Do you have a job or apartment brochure ? like the ones for rent and work ?
Reception Desk Person : sure.
[Reception Desk Person hands Ivy the brochures]
Ivy (*takes the brochures & says) : thank you so much.
Ivy put the brochures in her backpack and starting making her way to the elevators with her bags. She took the elevator all the way up to the 7th floor. After getting off of the elevator, she walked from room to room in search for her room number 703 which was 3 doors down. She pushed her card room key into the slot and a click sound made. She twists the door knob and pushed opened the door. She walked inside of the room letting the door close on its own. Ivy put her bags down on the bed as she walks over to the window. It had no view but that was okay with her.
Since it was getting dark at night, she went to take a shower in the bathroom and came out 15 minutes later. As she was walking out of the bathroom, she dried her hair with the towel and headed over to the desk where the brochures were. She sat on the chair and looked through each apartment rent complex that was available. She picked up her cellphone and called every single one of them that she thought suited her interests more. After a while, there was no luck until she found one on the brochure.
It Read : "One Studio Apartment Room Available Since Last Year. Fits perfectly for one or two person. Has a small kitchen that shares with the renter. There are showers that are attached to the room you will be staying in."
All of the information caught Ivy's eye. And so she picked up her phone again and called the number at the bottom of the information.
The phone rang and a small voiced guy answered the phone. William heard the phone ring from upstairs and went to go get it.
William (*answers the phone) : Hello ?
Ivy : Hi. I wanted to ask you about the room that you put up for rent.
William : im not actually the one you are suppose to talk to about that.
Ivy : then who should i talk to ?
William : my brother Charlie. i'll go get him, please wait.
Ivy : yes. and thank you.
William put the phone down on the side and went to the kitchen. As soon as he walked into the kitchen where Charlie worked, he went straight to him telling him something.
William (*calls out Charlie) : Charlie.
Charlie (*asks as cooking) : what is it ?
William : there is someone who wants to talk to you about the studio rent.
Charlie : alright, i'll be right there.
William : its upstairs.
Charlie : thanks.
William left back to his work at the front directing customers where to sit and taking orders. As for Charlie, he told the other chefs to continue working for him while he answers a phone call. Charlie took off his apron and wiped down his hands fast to walk upstairs where the phone was. He picked it up and started talking into it.
Charlie : Hello. I am Charlie. What can i help you with ?
Ivy : Hi there. I wanted to come check out your studio apartment room, the one for rent.
Charlie : yes. when can you come ?
Ivy : i have a few questions on the rent if you dont mind me asking.
Charlie : sure, go right on ahead.
Ivy : It didnt say how much rent was on the brochure so i was wondering.
Charlie : the price of the rent depends on what your occupation is.
Ivy : you mean what i work as ?
Charlie : yes, thats right. do you have a problem with that ?
Ivy : its just that i barely moved here and im trying to find a job.
Charlie : then why are you renting when you have no money ?
Ivy : i have a few thousand in my hand right now but i will find a job till then.
Charlie : what did you work as before ?
Ivy : Im a Artist Painter from Florida.
Charlie : then you mustve been famous with your work.
Ivy : not technically but im getting there. so how much are you giving me for the rent ?
Charlie : your occupation isnt bad and ill give you the lowest price i could think of.
Charlie : but that doesnt mean it wont be like that forever, it will change over time
Charlie : as you start to find work.
Ivy : yes, i understand.
Charlie : im giving you $500 a month for rent and it'll go up slowly.
Ivy (*smiles & says) : thank you so much.
Charlie : im expecting to see you tomorrow at my place at 10AM sharp for the rent.
[Ivy starts writing down notes on where the place was]
Charlie : bring all of your things with you, you start moving in tomorrow.
Ivy : yes sir. where shall i meet you at ?
Charlie : "William & Charlie" Restaurant on Main and 4th Street, its in downtown New York.
Charlie : 10AM sharp so dont be late.
[Ivy writes the location all down in her notebook]
Ivy : i understand. thank you so much.
Charlie hunged up the phone first and went back to work. Ivy was in such excitement and happiness after she hung up the phone. She did her little happy dance as she stood up in joy walking to her bed. She looked at the clock and saw that it was still early, like [7PM].
As a taxi came in, the driver helped Ivy put her bags in the trunk while Ivy stood there searching for the address in her notebook.
