*Phoenix's POV*
*a few hours later*
Later that day, me and Alik started our apartment hunt. It needed to be affordable, but a good enviorment for Roman to be in. I felt a bit awkward because of what he said earlier, but i decided to just push it to the side. Finding an apartment was more important than my embarrassment.
We dealt with apartment after apartment, most of which were not big enough, compleatly horrid, or too expensive! More towards the end of our search we found the perfect place. It had three bedrooms, a nice kitchen, a living room that already had furniture, and a bathroom with a walk in shower instead of one of those bathtub showers.
"IT'S PERFECT!" I shouted all of the sudden, turning to the real estate agent. "How much is the rent?"
"The rent is [instert amount of moneys that isn't very cheap but also not overwhelmingly expesive cuz I'm too lazy to figure it out myself lmao]. But-"
"When can we move in?" I interrupted her, smiling wildly.
"Ok, ok. You can move in in two weeks, ok? I hope you two will like it here. " She said, guiding us out of the apartment. She smiled at us as she locked the door to the apartment. "You'll get these keys in two weeks after all the paperwork has been handled. "
I nodded enthusiastically and looked over at Alik who was staring at me, smiling softly. "I can't wait! They won't be able to hold Roman from me any longer! I have to call them to tell them! I'll see you later Alik!" I ran off, pulling out my phone and calling the child services agent that was in charge of Roman. I couldn't wait to see him again.
