˗ˏˋ apartment
▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃

ONE EVENING, AS SHAYLA and Tom sat
together in her cozy apartment, surrounded by the comforting purrs of their cats, Shayla looked at Tom with a sparkle in her eyes. "Why don't we get a place of our own? You, me, and the cats. I have full faith that I love you and won't regret it."

Tom, moved by her sincerity, nodded. "I'd love that. Let's do it."

Excitement filled the air as they huddled over a laptop, searching for apartments online. The idea of a new beginning, a place to call their own, fueled their enthusiasm. As they scrolled through listings, a penthouse apartment in Upper Manhattan caught their attention.

"It has a garage for your motorbike and plenty of room for the cats," Shayla pointed out, her eyes lighting up. "And it's near my studio!"

Tom, equally intrigued, agreed. "Let's go check it out."

The following day, they stood in front of the penthouse, their eyes widening at the breathtaking view of the city. The spacious interior, sleek design, and the convenience of a garage made it feel like a perfect fit for the life they envisioned together.

"It's perfect," Shayla whispered, her voice filled with awe.

Tom, his gaze fixed on the skyline, nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it really is."

With a shared vision of the life they wanted to create, they decided to put an offer down on the penthouse. Shayla, soon to embark on a year-long tour, felt a surge of anticipation and hope for the future.

As the couple left the penthouse, hand in hand, they looked forward to the possibility of making it their home. The city lights twinkled above them, mirroring the spark of excitement in their hearts.

Ultimately, whether the penthouse became their home or not, Shayla and Tom knew that the journey of creating a life together was already underway. The love they shared, the dreams they nurtured, and the anticipation of a future filled with shared adventures were the true foundation of the home they were building—one that extended beyond the walls of any physical space and into the realm of their shared dreams and aspirations.

IN A COZY CORNER of the cafe, the fragrance of freshly brewed coffee enveloping them, Tom and Shayla delved into a conversation about moving in together and exploring the undiscovered corners of their pasts.

Tom, a mischievous glint in his eyes, grinned. "Alright, Shayla, I've got a story for you. Back in my Juilliard days, I got dared to streak across the courtyard. It was a wild night, and let's just say, I earned a legendary status among my classmates."

Shayla burst into laughter. "Really? Streaking at Juilliard? They must have been lucky to witness that performance!"

Tom chuckled. "Well, it certainly wasn't in the curriculum, but it made for a memorable night."

"Aren't they lucky, indeed?" Shayla quipped, her eyes sparkling with amusement.

Tom, still grinning, challenged her. "Your turn. Tell me a story about you that I wouldn't know."

Sipping her coffee thoughtfully, Shayla began, "Okay, brace yourself. Back in college, I had a brief stint at exploring my... um, let's call it, 'lesbianism.' It didn't last long, but, yeah, I gave it a shot. Guess who my experimental partner was?"

Tom, raising an intrigued eyebrow, asked, "Who?"

Shayla, smirking, revealed, "Rachel."

Tom burst into laughter. "Rachel has good taste. How did that happen?"

Shayla chuckled. "Well, it was during a phase where we were both figuring things out. We're still great friends, though."

"Interesting! I had no idea," Tom admitted, the revelation adding another layer to his understanding of Shayla's past.

Shayla grinned. "See, there's always more to discover about each other. Moving in together is going to be an adventure."

Their laughter echoed in the cafe, the atmosphere filled with the warmth of shared stories and the anticipation of the new chapter they were about to embark on together.
