Meet for You
Episode 1
We don't meet people by accident. Sometimes. They're meant to cross our path for a reason.
Today is your big day. Your best friend has come over to see your new apartment for the first time.
lily (FL's bestie)
I love this! It fits you perfectly. *smile*
lily (FL's bestie)
Best spot in Manhattan and just a few blocks away from our office.
lovely Miller (FL)
I don't know if I have ever been more excited. I worked really hard to save up. And I finally got my own place. *smile*
lily (FL's bestie)
So. Is your boring boyfriend going to move in with you?
lily (FL's bestie)
Unless. What you're saying is that he's not so boring in bed....
lovely Miller (FL)
What... No!. I mean.... I wouldn't even know. 👀
lily (FL's bestie)
Wait! You two haven't slept together yet? *Shocked*
lovely Miller (FL)
Relationship isn't always about that. You know. *Blush*
lovely Miller (FL)
He's sweet and nice.
lily (FL's bestie)
Anyone can be nice. Lovely. You need to raise your standards.
lovely Miller (FL)
Well. Not anyone can be nice....
lily (FL's bestie)
Nice is just a bare minimum. It shouldn't even be counted. *Sigh*
lily (FL's bestie)
Wait. How long have you guys been together again. 3 years?
lovely Miller (FL)
There's nothing wrong with taking things slow. Lily.
Lily grabs you by the shoulders. Her tone turns serious.
lily (FL's bestie)
You're in your 20s, and you haven't even had S. E. X. yet.
lily (FL's bestie)
Are you trying to reach your 40- year mark?
lovely Miller (FL)
Martin doesn't mind that we haven't done it yet. So I don't see the problem *calmly*
lily (FL's bestie)
Lovely. Some guys don't stick around if the girls don't put it out *smile*
lovely Miller (FL)
Well. He's different....
lily (FL's bestie)
I hope you're right. Anyway don't tell me he's not going to be here on your best day?
lovely Miller (FL)
He's busy with his med school program....
lily (FL's bestie)
(what kind of boyfriend is he)
lovely Miller (FL)
Changing the subject. Have you found your mister right?
lily (FL's bestie)
Nope. But I got my eyes on Arthur!
lovely Miller (FL)
Arthur?
lily (FL's bestie)
Come on. You must know who I'm talking about.
lily (FL's bestie)
Arthur Adams! The heir to the Adams industries? The number one richest guy in the world.
lovely Miller (FL)
Oh. Him. Why's he working as freelancer for our magazine publisher then?
lily (FL's bestie)
Rich people get bored too. Heard photography is his hobby.
lily (FL's bestie)
Damn. He's sooo dreamy....
lovely Miller (FL)
And probably a playboy 😮💨
lily (FL's bestie)
So what. I couldn't mind being his play toy.
lovely Miller (FL)
By the way. Where's Tom.
lily (FL's bestie)
He had to work. But he'll stop by later *lazily*
Your phone rings. In an instant. You have crossed the room and grabbed it.
lovely Miller (FL)
It's Martin . Do mind if I....?
Lily huffs. Giving you a mocking look. Without being the last a bit surprised.
lily (FL's bestie)
Okay. Bestie. We'll talk soon. Congratulations again on the apartment *smile*
She gives you a hug and leaves. You hurriedly answer the phone
lovely Miller (FL)
Martin! Hey.
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
Hi babe. How are you?
lovely Miller (FL)
Today? Or in last couple weeks?
There's a short pause. As if he's deciding how much to read into your comment.
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
Both. I miss you.
lovely Miller (FL)
I'm a little pissed off.
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
Is something wrong. Lovely?
Episode 2
lovely Miller (FL)
You said you were going to call me last night.
lovely Miller (FL)
But you didn't 🤧
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
Oh. Yeah. Sorry about that. I ended up being busy.
When he doesn't elaborate. You feel a wing of worry.
lovely Miller (FL)
Busy doing...?
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
Studying. It's been crazy. I think this is my last year before I graduate.
lovely Miller (FL)
So when do I get to see you next?
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
I'm not sure....
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
I got a tutor to help me. And she is wonderful...
lovely Miller (FL)
( Her?)
lovely Miller (FL)
You never mentioned a tutor. And why are they tutoring you on weekends?
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
My tutor has.... Well her time is limited.
lovely Miller (FL)
(Is he choosing his tutor over me?)
You blurted it out without thinking.... You're not naturally the jealous type.
lovely Miller (FL)
(he's been so vague. And it seems that if I didn't ask. He wasn't going to tell me) *sad*
Martin (FL's ex boyfriend)
Anyway. I have got to go. Love you *hang up*
Your hands are shaking. And you feel sweat on your brows as a wave of emotions builds inside you
lovely Miller (FL)
(Her didn't even ask about my apartment.... Or even how I was doing.
You go grab the champagne bottle and walk out onto the balcony. Hoping the view calm your nerves.
lovely Miller (FL)
Lily might be right. If I don't sleep with Martin soon... He'll find it elsewhere.
lovely Miller (FL)
(we barely talk like we used to) tears rolling down her cheeks *
The thought that Martin might leave brings tears to your eyes.
You nearly jump out of your skin at hearing a voice right beside you. On the next door balcony stands a man.
He's perfectly well-built. With an incredible set of abs. And bulges in all the right places.
Arthur Adams (ML)
Hey. Are you okay?
Arthur Adams (ML)
Is something wrong?*softly*
lovely Miller (FL)
I. Uh...
Arthur Adams (ML)
I'm sorry. I didn't mean to pry. It's just.... You're crying.
lovely Miller (FL)
(He looks just like Arthur Adams....)
lovely Miller (FL)
No. I don't... I mean I will okay in a few minutes....
On the verge of panic. You wipe your tears away. Which is hard to do with a battle in your hands.
Arthur Adams (ML)
Well. I have never seen you in the apartment building before*sweet smile*
lovely Miller (FL)
I just moved in *smile*
Arthur Adams (ML)
Well hey. New neighbor! Welcome.
Arthur Adams (ML)
By the way. I'm Arthur. And you? *smile*
lovely Miller (FL)
(oh God. He's the rich ass freelancer. Arthur Adams).*Shocked*
lovely Miller (FL)
I. Uh....
Arthur Adams (ML)
Are you sure you're alright. *worried *
lovely Miller (FL)
I'm lovely. Nice to meet you. Neighbor. *friendly smile*
lovely Miller (FL)
Excuse my babbling. I'm having one hell a day.
Arthur Adams (ML)
It's okay. I babble every day. Twice on weekends.
Arthur has an easy smile on his face. You see no judgment from him.
lovely Miller (FL)
I really. Really doubt that. But thank you for saying that.
You grin. Feeling your nerves relax a tiny bit.
Arthur Adams (ML)
Your eyeliner's a little smudged. But don't worry. It looks very chic. Kind of smokey eye situation.
lovely Miller (FL)
(oh God. I'm a mess. And even Arthur can see it)
lovely Miller (FL)
It was...you caught me at a bad time... But...
Arthur Adams (ML)
Do you mind if we share a drink? *Grin *
Episode 3
Arthur Adams (ML)
Haha. Yes. Be right back.
He disappears into his own sliding glass door and reappears with two wine glasses and a bottle
lovely Miller (FL)
Wait. Is that Romance - conti? *intrigued*
Arthur Adams (ML)
Oh. You know your wine. *smile*
lovely Miller (FL)
Well. I have never tried it. But I heard it's like a$20 bottle.
Arthur Adams (ML)
I guess you just have to try it now.
lovely Miller (FL)
I can't. I mean... You can just save it for something special.
Arthur Adams (ML)
Welcoming my neighbor is a special event.
Arthur Adams (ML)
So. Would have a drink with me?
lovely Miller (FL)
Sure. I can't turn down a free wine. *smirk*
Arthur grins and twists the cork off. He pours two glasses and hands one over to your side of the balcony.
Arthur Adams (ML)
What shall we toast to?
lovely Miller (FL)
How about we toast to... New beginning and new neighbors?
Arthur Adams (ML)
Sounds great. Cheers.
You clink glasses with NYC's no 1 mostly eligible bachelor. And after a few quite sips. You exchange a sample goodbye
lovely Miller (FL)
(Oh my God. Wait until lily hears about this!) 😲
lovely Miller (FL)
(I can see why girls would fall for him. He seems so nice.)
A few days later. You get ready and head into work at Blush headquarters.
lovely Miller (FL)
(I still can't get over how lucky I was to get a job here. Blush is on the premier fashion magazines in New York!)
As soon as you enter the front door. You get a call from marina. Your boss.
marina (FL's boss)
Lovely? Can you come see me in my office. Darling?
lovely Miller (FL)
Sure. What's up?
marina (FL's boss)
If I wanted to tell you on the phone. I wouldn't ask to my office. Would I?
lovely Miller (FL)
Right marina. I will be there.
You hang up the phone. Not bothering to hide your eye roll from your coworkers.
The moment you step into her office. She tosses an envelope at you
marina (FL's boss)
Here's your invitation. You're covering this event to night *smile*
A letter tucked in the envelope reads "Gypsy's An enlightening Experience"
lovely Miller (FL)
What is it *calmly*
marina (FL's boss)
A new trance club or bar. Or whatever. I'm sure it will be gone in a month.
marina (FL's boss)
But you're going to write up a review in any case. So try not to have much fun. *smirk*
You glance through glassy photos. Which are virtually dripping with chic. Sleek style.
lovely Miller (FL)
I'm not into this type of things...
marina (FL's boss)
But you're going anyway. And that's my final decision *cold*
lovely Miller (FL)
With all duo respect marina. You know I hate bars 💢
marina (FL's boss)
Didn't you just buy a luxury top floor apartment here in Manhattan? *Grin*
lovely Miller (FL)
Uh... Yes but...
marina (FL's boss)
I know those don't come cheap. If you want to keep the high paying job that bought it. You'll do what I say *smirk*
lovely Miller (FL)
Fine. Whatever marina. 😤
A few hours later. Back at your apartment.... Your phone rings again. And you become uneasy.
lovely Miller (FL)
Great.... It's my mom
You sigh. You love your mother but your relationship is not good.
lovely Miller (FL)
Hi mom. How are you.
Hannah (FL's step mother)
Wonderful! Your sister Mary just got into mass General hospital. Did you hear?
lovely Miller (FL)
( of course... It's always about Mary)
lovely Miller (FL)
( some times I wonder if they really are my parents)
