Roommates (Closed)

[marine_biochild]

Oletta sat in the corner of the large living room, surrounded by boxes and staring at the small phone in her hands. Her roommate had just backed out of their agreement. She no longer had someone to split the rent with and as she sat in the silence she wondered what she was going to do. Running a shaky hand through her long red curls she tried to think. What would she do? She couldn't afford the place by herself. She was in her second year of college and now.... well she was still a broke college student who had tried to get out on her own out of the dorms.

Leaning back against the wall she took a deep breath. She knew who to call when she had a problem. Her best friend in the entire world. Maybe.... just maybe she would have an answer.

The phone rang three times before the cheery voice spoke up on the other end. After a small greeting Oletta began her sob storry, hugging her knees tightly as she spoke. Her hands moved as she recited her story with a few flourishes. After a good twenty minutes she slowly stood, beginning to walk around the small two bedroom house her fingers playing in her hair as she continue. When her story was through and her voice gone she stood lonely in the hallway waiting for a reply.

"You know Lottie I might actually have a solution for you!" Her bestfriends voice boomed on the other end. Perking up she grinned. "You know my little brother just got accepted, he's on his way up there to start this semester.... why not have him as your roommate until you can find someone else?"

She was silent for a moment. She had known the kid since he had been born, having been best friends with his sister since they were in diapers. "well..... I...I guess that would work. Why not call him and tell him to stop by I gave you my address still ahve it?"

After a brief chat Oletta hung up her lips tipped into a smile. Maybe things weren't so bad after all. Now she just had to wait for her new roommate.

Jon just got off the plain and was waitting for his bags to be unloaded. Jon was playing a game on his phone when his sister called. He picked up and got filled in about Oletta's situation.
Jon told his sis sure he can swing by and check it out. Just then he spotted one of his bags and told his sis he had to go.

Jon grabbed his bag and pulled it off the belt while he waited for his other one and a tote. About 15 minutes later he had all 3 things and rented a car for the day. He was driving thinking about Oletta. Part of him wanted to just move in but the other part didnt want to. Jon was waying both options as he drove to the dorm. He parked in the visiters parking lot and checked the rent a car in as his car while he checked out the dorm. As Jon walked around he was getting more and more put off with it and any personal doubts about living with a woman he had a crush on was becoming smaller and smaller. After 20 minutes he told the dorm staff that he wouldnt be staying here but was going to try living off campus.

As Jon walked out to his rent a car. He called Oletta and got her voice mail. He was kinda nervous now as he left a voicemail saying "Hey Oletta, this is Jon. I was wondering if I could swing by and check out the apartment. I am going to grab some food but feel free to call me back when you can."

He hung up the cell and went to a Denny's diner and waited for the call. He sat there wondering if it was a 1 or 2 bedroom apartment, he kicked him self for not asking his sis. He sat there part of him self wanted a 1 bedroom and have to share a room with her. The other part hoped for a 2 bedroom.

Placing a box down Oletta stood slowly hearing a small beep. Glancing to her phone she saw the voicemail. Clicking it over she listened quietly before smiling. Shooting a quick text she smiled.

Hey Jon,

Come on over! I'm guessing your sis sent you the address. I'll be here unpacking all day, you are welcome to come over when ever you are done eating!
<3
Lottie

Clicking send she turned back to her unpacking. Tieing up her small shorts tighter on her hips she picked up another box, walking it to the kitchen. Hopping up on the counter she began to go through it, her green eyes glancing over the contents she began placing things away as she waited for Jon.

Secretly she wondered if he was still the shy boy she had grown up with. He had always been so distant, leaving the room shyly when she came over and hiding from her when she spoke to him.

 

[JonathanBair]

His cell vibrated on the table. He looked at it and seen the text. He shot one back saying "just odder a drink, want to join me for lunch?"

He taken a deep breath wondering if he could hide his feelings for her. It was hard when she was visiting so much. Could he hide them living with her?

 

[marine_biochild]

Hearing the ping of her phone she glanced down. With a smile she jumped off the counter.

Sure no problem. Let me get dressed and I"ll meet you there. Order me a tea please Still a lover of Denny's?

Sending it she ran up the stairs remembering the days they spent in Denny's laughing and joking with him and his sister. Pulling on a pair of shorts and a tee. Hopping in the car she made her way over to the restaurant her lips tipped into a smile.

Stepping into the restaurant she smiled glancing around. "Hey!" She called moving towards him.

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiled at the text and flagged the waitress down and ordered a tea. Jon had it waiting there not long before he heard a voice he would know anywhere even at grand central station.

When he heard Oletta he got up and waved her to come over.

"Yep this is the best place to be" Jon says with a smile. Flash backs of all the times he hung out with the girls at Dennys.

When she joined him Jon said "thanks for coming. I cant wait to hear about the place and if you don't mind swinging by the air-port with me I can drop off the rent a car. I will buy you lunch as a treat"

 

[marine_biochild]

Smiling softly she took a seat. "Hey, how was thr flight?" She asked as she sipped her tea. Chuckling she nodded.' Thanks." Glancing to the menu she spoke softly her hair falling around her shoulders.

"Well it's a two bedroom one bath. It's a nice little place but it's not huge." She cooed. "I get the master bedroom but the second bedroom is almost just as big." She smiled. "THanks for coming to stay with me." She cooed.

 

[JonathanBair]

The flight was good. I spent more time standing in lines it seams like. I should have grabbed a shuttle flight before getting my first boarding the jumbo jet in the big city. I bet a small airport wouldn't have had the long wait.

Thanks for letting me stay with you. I checked out the dorm and peaked around campus a bit. Off campus housing has its perks and I think its awesome to be with someone I know so well. Also gives us a lot of time to catch up too.

Jon smiled as he heard about it. "good to know we wont have to sleep in bunk beds like at the dorm * he smiles glad to hear about the spare bedroom* Is the bathroom joined to the bedrooms or out in the hall? Did you and your old roommate have any rules about dating?

 

[marine_biochild]

Smiling she leaned back. "Well. Put a sock on the door and try to be quiet when you do the dirty." She cooed gently. "As for the bathroom is in the hall." She smiled before leaning forward. "Besides, your a freshman You'll have a hard time catching anyone's interest." She teased playfully.

 

[JonathanBair]

Smiles oh good so I wont come in late at night and find you getting it on in the living room then lol.

I think I am not going to worry about dating, had my fill this last year with a lady I worked with. Jon shrugs and says "She was just a temp hire. I plan to try and focus on school tho." Jon thinks to him self why date when I will be living with the woman of my dreams who will be living with me.

 

[marine_biochild]

Smiling she chuckled to herself. "Right." She teased before leaning forward. "So what are you taking this semester and what are you majoring in Maybe I can give you some pointers." She smiled.

As she looked him over she blinked for a moment. He had definitely grown up her eyes curious as she smiled. He was very attractive. "So this temp hire.... manage to reel her in to the bedroom.' She laughed.

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles says I am going to be entering computer design, not sure if I will go for making 3'd building models as blue prints or more for graphic artist doing spacial effect for movies and the news.

Naa I never shared a bed with anyone other then you and my sis as a kid. Tho the temp hire was a good kisser. *smiles and sighs* aww the good ole days getting them sleep overs with 2 females, what a dream come true lol.. Jon reaches over and playfully hits Oletta in the shoulder.

 

[marine_biochild]

Chuckling she glanced to the food as it came out. "Right. A good kisser." She laughed before shaking her head. "I loved those sleep overs! We had so much fun. Remember the time we wrapped you up like a mummy and terrified the dog! YOu ran around moaning for a day and a half! Your mom wanted to kill me and your sis." She laughed as she leaned back playflly kicking him under the table. "Besides you were always so afraid of me for some reason. I'm glad you are over it." She teased. Little did she know that he wasn't afraid but shy of her because he had a crush on her.

 

[JonathanBair]

Smiles "maybe some time I can sleep over again." I ummm enjoyed your company but knew you where there for my sis so I never wanted to but in. Speaking of fun times. remember when I hid in the pillow that my sis kept at the lower half of the bed. You girls got tired of playing hide and go seek and you ended up doing your nails on me. *my mind drifts back to the day when the last time I played with you both. When I started to have feeling for you. That day i got turned on as I got to peak up your skirt for a while*

 

[marine_biochild]

Laughing she looked up at him smiling brightly. "I remember! Your sister was so pissed" She grinned before looking down. "I missed hanging with you." She said softly. "You were always the life of the party." She cooed. Taking a deep breath she glanced around the restaurant. 'So...um... there is one rule for the house." She cooed. "Don't walk around naked for my sake and yours." She teased.

 

[JonathanBair]

"I always wondered, did you know I was there before she found me?" Jon looked around then pulled his corn beef and hash closer to himself. "Oh you can brake that all you want to just please don't let your boyfriend do it."

 

[marine_biochild]

With gave him a playful wink before looking down at her food. Chuckling she took a bite of her food her free hand sliding a piece of hair behind her ear. "Jon...you're going to be a great roommate." She laughed.

 

[JonathanBair]

Thanks this should be fun. Got any plans for the day? If not maybe we could kick back with a movie?

 

[marine_biochild]

Smiling she looked over at him. "Well I had planned on unpacking all day. Maybe after I'm done unpacking?" she asked quietly.

 

[JonathanBair]

"Sounds good. Feel free to give me a shout if you want me to help you." Jon eats some more of the food. After a minute or two Jon says "its nice eatting together just the 2 of us".

 

[marine_biochild]

Nodding she looked up from her small wrap. "Yes it is. I've missed hanging with you. I enjoyed your company just as much as your sisters." She said quietly.

 

[JonathanBair]

Jon smiles "well you got me here to your self for the next few years." Then continue eating. While Jon eats, he thinks about that last hide and go seek game. Could she have sat like that with me hiding in the pillow hopping I was looking up her skirt while the did there nails all them years ago. That night prompted Jons crush on her to kick in. Would she do it again today if she had the chance to?

 

[marine_biochild]

Smiling she finished her food before chuckling. "WOuld you like to head back to our place when you are done?" She asked gently.

 

[JonathanBair]

"Sure I would love to see are new home. Before we do that tho. I need to drop off the rent a car." Jon finishes the last few bites of his meal and finishes the drink. He flags the waitress down and asks for the check.

 

[marine_biochild]

Smiling she looked back at him wondering if all those years aog he had enjoyed staring at her as much as she had enjoyed teasing him on that quiet night. At that age she didn't fully understand what she was doing but looking back she couldn't help but smile. He was a good looking kid and even now she couldn't deny how attractive he really was.
