"Uh.. yeah. I'm a band director, so it's kind of mandatory I know most instruments." The girl said, laughing to herself.
Jay raised his eyebrows and smiled he was impressed. "Band, director, that's kind of cool."
"I don't mean to be rude, but I kinda need to set these down, so.." She gave a Jay a smile before continuing down the hallway. "I guess I'll see you around then."
"Yeah sure," Jay replied shrugging as he continued on his way to the corner sure just a block or too away from the apartment complex. As he stood in the noodle section debating whether he wanted chicken or oriental flavoured noodles. he thought about the blonde woman he had met. It would be cool having another music lover in the building. Plus it didn't hurt that she was very attractive. He decided on chicken and after the pimply teenager scanned the noodles, he fished the coins he needed from the his leather jacket's pocket. He always kept coins in his jacket. It was like a piggy back he could take with him anywhere. Jay hated using a card, he preferred dealing with solid cash.
"Have a good night!" The cashier called after him, as Jay walked out into the crisp night air.
Pulling a cigarette from his pocket, Jay lit it up, taking a long drag before walking back his apartment. The city was just as detestable during the night. Lights on everywhere, party music and noise booming in the distance from every angle, and the faint sound of a police siren. He couldn't even see the stars when he looked up. "Fucking city smog," Jay mumbled to himself, taking another drag from his cigarette. Stargazing had been on of his favourite activities pre-city living.
Arriving at his apartment building he stamped out his cigarette butt and headed up to his apartment. Stopping at the door to unlock it, he noticed the a woman coming out of his neighbouring apartment. "See you after work." She said into her apartment, closing the door behind her.
"Boyfriend?" Jay asked, not really caring about the whether the girl had a boyfriend, more concerned with how loud their late night bedroom activities were going to get. The walls in this place were paper thin. It was a reasonable concern too, because one time during a shoot Jay was stuck staying in a place that was neighbours with a couple that enjoyed being kinky and loud in the bedroom. It was indefinite one of his top ten worst experiences.
