Hi, this is Addison Barnes, auditioning for lease on love. I take out my phone, hit Harley's number and don't wait for her to actually greet me before talking. Hi, Yes, I'm going to need you and jim to come meet me at that address I sent you. Oh ****. Are you getting kidnapped? Are they selling you into sex slavery? Harley calls for Gemma in the background and I can tell she's going into full blown lawyer mode. No, but I'm about to agree to move in with a guy I just met. I throw Jack a wink as I stride past him and back into the house, jesus christ Sadie, you'll be the death of me one day. Don't sign anything. Will be there in 20. Harley hangs up on me and I tuck my phone back in my purse. Jack meets me in the kitchen, him on one side of the peninsula, me on the other. So, what do you think? What do I think? I think my fairy Godmother just dropped the solution to all my problems in my lap with my savings and this ridiculously low rent. I'll have plenty of time to look for a new job. Maybe even one I actually like, I think it's ******* perfect and you're probably making a huge mistake letting me come live in your perfect house. But I don't care because I love it so much. And also that's on you for matching with me. I take a deep breath knowing I can't get into this arrangement without telling Jack the whole truth, but I have to be honest about something. I just got laid off from my job. I do have some savings and I'm actually like a seriously ridiculously hard worker for real. My job was my life and I promise I will find something soon and I know it's a lot to ask, but if you take this chance, I swear I'll be not the worst roommate. I clasp my hands together as if in prayer, which they might as well be. He signs a lease agreement across the counter. Sounds like you could use a bit of a break. I pulled the paper to me, smiling softly. I don't bother reading it since Harley is going to examine it within an inch of its life as soon as she gets here. Thank you Jack. And before he can change his mind, I steer the conversation far away from my employment or lack thereof. So seriously, how does someone our age end up with a free and clear brownstone in park slope, best selling sex tape, lotto black market drugs, his mouth pulls into a flat line, dead parents. Oh ****. Oh God, Jack, jesus christ. I'm the worst. I'm so sorry. I want to say it gets better when you get to know me, but my friends will attest to the fact that I'll always be a huge *******. I'll totally not be offended if you want to kick me out. I'm definitely going to cry all the way home because seriously this place is to die for and I like really need this break so I don't go completely broke. But I'll totally understand fun. The corners of his mouth tilt up into what just might be the beginnings of a smile. I think you're going to be good for me, Sadie Green. Oh, I definitely won't be like, literally no one has ever come away from knowing me thinking that promise I blurt out before clamping my lips shut, not needing to dig my own grave any further. When can you move in?
