shook her head.
"I was not blessed with a good singing voice, you do not want to witness it," she said with a small smile. I tried a few more times to get her to sing but she was unrelenting. She never gave in, she was stubborn and I found myself really liking that about her. In fact, I found myself really liking her.
Chapter Ten: The Moment
He will wait until
You give yourself to him

Bachelor pad. Those were the first two words that came to my mind when I saw Decklin's condo. A very nice bachelor pad at that. The place was spotless, he must have had a maid. The floors were marble in the entryway and the kitchen and the bathrooms, the rest of them were hard wood. He had a loft where he slept, and the downstairs had two bedrooms. It was all very modern and I loved it.
"You live here by yourself?" I asked as I looked towards the wall made purely of windows, looking over the city.
"Yeah, I throw a lot of parties though, so it never gets too boring," he said, walking up the stairs. I followed him. His room was very neat and didn't have much personality. There weren't any pictures, nothing laying around, nothing that showed who he truly was. He had a large bed that I found out later was extremely comfortable with a feather topper. Next to it was a night stand with a lamp on it and an alarm clock. Along the right wall was a desk that had a computer and keyboard, and a pen holder but no papers on it or anything else. Next to it sat a dresser that was bare on top. Next to that was a sliding glass door that led out to a balcony where a small table with two chairs were . On the left wall was a closet, and a door that I'm assuming lead to a bathroom, It was utterly boring and I told him as much. He just smiled slightly at me, a smile that didn't reach his eyes.
"I really have nothing personal to put anywhere. You won't find pictures of family because I really don't have family. I don't collect anything either. I'm pretty boring actually," he said with a frown. "How'd I land a girl like you?" He asked. I laughed.
"I don't think you're boring at all. Sure your house could use some touching up, but if you're always out and about running around for your uncle, there's really no need. Plus if you throw parties a lot, there's a risk something could get broken, so whatever. If you're comfortable here," I said with a shrug. I felt bad for him really. He had no one except his uncle whom he didn't like. I'm sure he had friends, but how many people were using him for his money? I would just have to prove to him that I was someone he could trust and that I wasn't really gaining anything by being with him, except for him himself. I had a feeling that a lot of people used him for what they could gain instead of wanting an actual friendship.
"At least you don't want to redecorate my apartment like most girls. It's so annoying. Especially when I don't even really know someone and they're already telling me what color I should paint the walls and how I should rearrange my furniture," he rolled his eyes.
"It's not my place to do anything with it. And even if it was, I'd probably be too lazy to anyway," I said smiling at him. He smiled back as he booted up his computer.
"I just need to check my email real quick, then my whole night is dedicated to you. We can go wherever you want to go and do whatever you want to do," he said smiling at me.
"Sounds like a plan, I'm going to go change. I really want to go to a real club, and I'm not really dressed for that," I said before heading to his bathroom.
The bathroom was extravagant, but I wasn't too impressed considering my parents bathroom. My mom loves her baths and her only request when they bought a house is that it had a big tub. Decklin definitely had a huge tub with jets and everything. It, like the rest of the house was lacking personality though. Mom's tub was surrounded by candles and bubbles in bottles , his was bare. I wondered how many
