Flatmates

“Argh” She said after spilling coffee down herself for the first time that day. Maria always managed to spill a coffee at least once a day. Maybe it was a bad omen. “For f**k sake!” She whined, ripping the sheets off herself as she got out of her king sized bed earlier than she wanted to for a Sunday morning. Fed up with the day already, she stripped off her crisp white bed sheets and took them to the washing machine, before sticking the kettle back on to make another morning coffee for herself. “I only washed these yesterday!” She complained to herself. After putting the wash on she went back to her room, pulled up her shorts she had removed the night prior, tied her very dark brown hair up in a messy bun, and slid a vest top over her visibly cold breasts, before going to the kitchen to finish making another coffee. “Mmmm finally” after taking a slurp of coffee, Maria sat with her legs up on the sofa with her laptop by her side. “FLATMATE WANTED” she started to type out on the local advertising page on social media. “£250 per week includes wifi, water bills, gas and electric. Please call Maria on the number stated below this ad.” “- aaand post.” Maria said feeling happy she got something productive done, although this task was very much needing to be completed. Maria’s previous room mate Samantha, had made the choice to go travelling leaving Maria, who only worked in a food store, in a predicament. She had been working overtime for the past few months, and hardly had any time for herself, not that she did much outside of work. She kept herself to herself mainly, and enjoyed being a loner. She found herself missing Sam though, and the type of friendship they had. They got on well, really well in fact. But now Maria was alone at home a lot of the time with no company or fun. -“uggggh” Maria groaned as Sam hovered above her between her legs. Samantha’s face inches away from Maria’s p***y. Her dark brown long locks cascading down tickling her thighs. “Mmm Maria” Sam panted excitedly. “Stop teasing me like this Sam please!” She giggled and squirmed, ready for Sam to take her c**t in her mouth. She could feel Sam’s breath instantly causing a rupture of pleasure on her sensitive skin before Sam moved closer towards her throbbing c**t. Her mouth wide open, with her tongue ready to receive what Maria had to offer. Holding her green eyed gaze towards Maria… DING DONG The doorbell rang and Maria snapped back into the real world pulling her fingers from below the waistline of her shorts. “Shit..” she tutted as she walked through the hallway. “Who is it?” A low growling voice replied “Um you have a delivery.” “Thanks. Can you just leave it by the door? I’ll grab it in a second.” “Sorry Miss no can do, you gotta sign for this one.” “f**k,” she said quietly to herself. “Ok just give me a second please?” She went to the bathroom to quickly wash her hands as she felt dirty handling the delivery guy’s pen after her fingers had been down her panties. “Yea sure, take all the time you need!” The deep voice said sarcastically. “Cheeky asshole!” She thought to herself as she made her way back to the front door. “Sorry you caught me in the middle of a -“ Maria stopped mid sentence to appreciate the handsome looking specimen standing at her doorway. He had the deepest blue eyes, and dark brown hair. “A uhh, a task. Yea sorry about that.” She blushed. He looked Maria up and down and smirked. “Yea, name?” “Maria” she replied “Sign here please.” The husky voiced delivery guy asked. She gave a squiggle and took the package. “Enjoy your morning Miss” He said with a wink, and yet another smirk leaving the porch. Maria closed the door and put the package on the floor. Upon looking down, she noticed one of her C cup sized breasts had managed to escape her silky vest top. “Ahhh, s**t” she said as she felt her face heat up and redden from embarrassment. “Is that why he was smirking at me?!” She thought to herself whilst going back to the bathroom to freshen herself up for the rest of her Sunday. Surely the day had to get better. Maria stepped out of the shower, wrapping her hair up in a towel before wrapping a towel around herself. Sighing as she looked in the mirror. She wasn’t very confident about herself or her looks. She stared in the mirror at her deep brown eyes, whilst pointing out every fault she could see on herself, before unwrapping the towel from her head to comb her long dark brown hair. After she dressed herself in a baggy navy blue jumper, and some leggings before she decided to read a novel she was heavily into. It was a novel about Werewolves. An Alpha specifically, who had a bond towards the not so attractive females of the pack. He couldn’t stop this attraction as the bond towards her felt so strong. Maria felt like she related to the female named Syrah minus the hot hunky Alpha in tow. “Fabian licked his lips as he watched Syrah from across the packs dining room. He could feel his wolf inside him growling, and clawing in desperation to be let out. Syrah was none the wiser mistaking her unaware urges to bond, with hunger as she carried on picking at her bowl of fruit, dipping her cherries in yogurt, then popping them into her mouth one by one. After she finished, Syrah washed up her plates and put them away, leaving through the door to the hallway to return to her room. “Follow her!” Fabian’s wolf demanded. As he was about to walk out the door, Laura blocked the doorway. “Hi Alpha Fabian!” She said excitedly putting her hands on his shoulders. “Not now Laura, I’m busy” Fabian felt aggravated by Laura and gently moved her aside looking around for where Syrah was.” “Where are you off to in a hurry hmm?!” Laura clocked who his eyes were fixated on and snorted in disgust. “Really? That nasty looking thing?she looks more like a troll than a wolf” Laura stated jealously. Fabian let out an aggressive growl putting Laura in her place before he went to catch up with Syrah. Syrah was just about to turn the knob of her door when Alpha Fabian grabbed the door knob pulling the door shut again and turning Syrah round to face him. “s**t, I mean sorry Alpha you scared me. Is everything ok?!” Fabian’s sharp jaw was clenching as he looked into Syrah’s big brown eyes breathing heavily. “I think you and I are connected.” He finally spoke. “Eh-what do you mean Alpha?” “Syrah don’t you feel anything? Me being this close to you?” “I-I - I, no. I mean I don’t think so?!” RING RING “Oh for the love of -“ Maria cursed for being rudely disturbed from reading, and quickly composed herself before answering. “Hello?” “Hello?! I saw your ad about the room for rent?! I’m enquiring for my boyfriend.” “Ah, ok.” Maria replied a bit confused as to why her boyfriend wasn’t calling himself. “He’s a bit busy with his work hours, but trusts my choices. I have seen the pictures you’ve posted. Is it ok if I can come have a look?” The woman had a really whiney voice almost a bit babyish. “Um, sure! When are you available to come take a look around?” “Is tomorrow ok? Morning time around 10am?” The woman asked Maria. “Yeah, that’s fine. I’ll give you the address. 78 Hencham Close.” “Thanks, I shall see you tomorrow.” “Alright see you…then“ Maria had already been cut off before being able to say goodbye, but was happy all the same. She was worried no one would want to flat share and really needed some help with the rent right about now. She thought she would just finish this chapter before she started getting ready for work. “My tummy has been growling a lot and I’ve been feeling a bit, I dunno? Light headed? I guess.” “Syrah?!” “Uh, yes Alpha Fabian?” “Can I kiss you? I feel like I need to!” “Uhh.” Before She could even reply, Fabian’s rough hands were cupping Syrah’s cheeks. He lowered himself towards her face penetrating her eyes with his just before kissing her soft and now cherry flavoured lips, sucking and biting gently down on her bottom lip, before he released his mouth from hers. Syrah’s mouth tingled with excitement the electric sparks danced on her lips before making their way down to her other set of lips. Fabian held his gaze.”.. It was 9:30pm and Maria was half way through her shift getting back from her break. She loaded up a warehouse flatbed with spirits she needed to replenish the shelves behind the tills, and made her way onto the shop floor. “How’s the book your reading going Maria? Is it any good?!” Alexis, Maria’s colleague communicated with her through her headset from the other side of the store. “My God is it?” Maria answered excitedly. “It’s getting to the good bit now. Fabian has started to realise Syrah could be his mate now, but I had to put the book down or I would of been late to work!” She chuckled. “It’s about all the excitement I’m getting at the moment and I need a bit of sauce in my non existent s*x life Alexis!” Maria carried on talking with Alexis over the headset whilst filling an empty gap on the shelf with some bourbon whiskey. “Talking of excitement,” She carried on. “Some fine specimen of a delivery guy delivered my new smoothie maker earlier. You should of seen him Alexis! Dark brown hair in a man bun, steel blue eyes,” “Mmm!” Alexis interrupted. “with a beard. Not a really long beard though. He looked really rough, in a good way. I could imagine Fabian looking like him in the story!” “Maria, Maria” Alexis interrupted again. “What?!” “You got a customer” Maria turned round to face where Alexis was on the other side of the store by the stock room pointing at the customer giggling. Her eyes turned towards where Alexis was pointing. Yet another red hot flush of embarrassment waved over her whole face for the second time today. It was the delivery guy, looking over at Maria whilst leaning on the counter with an awkward smile on his face. He wasn’t sure where to look “Ah..hello, how can I help you?” “Um,” he said trying to recollect himself after hearing a good portion of Maria and Alexis’ conversation. He scratched his head nervously. His hair was out loose now and his work shirt unbuttoned, revealing his black vest underneath tucked scruffily into his beige cargo pants. “Do you guys have any AA batteries? I uh, I couldn’t see any on the shop floor..” “Oh yea they’re kept behind the tills. How many did you want? Just one packet? Let me get you a packet.” Maria suggested turning round in a sea of embarrassment and panic to just hurry up serve him and get him out of the shop! “Nope two please.” She turned as he spoke to her to face the rugged but handsome man. “Ok, sure.” On turning back round the hook on the wall that held the batteries snapped. Resulting in all the batteries crashing to the floor. “f**k sake could this get any worse???” Maria thought to herself as she bent down to grab two packs of batteries from the floor. “I only wanted two packets” he laughed. “Yea, dodgy shelves. They should really invest in some decent hooks for these things!” She said scanning through the batteries and some juice he had picked up prior. “Ok so, that’s going to be £7.99 please.” He handed her a £10 note. “Thankyou, that’s £2.01 change” Maria said placing the mans change into his large slightly roughened hands. He let out a little chuckle “Thanks Maria!” He said with another awkward smile. “Hey how did you know my name?” She asked him puzzled. “Uhm.. You got a name badge on your fleece there!” He said laughing. “Oh, yea, forgot about that.” She chuckled. “I’m Tyler! I’m sure I’ll be seeing you around as I’m new in town this is my local store!” Tyler said. “Greeeeat” Maria thought to herself in a sarcastic way, how awkward was this going to get? “Kool, well, take care!” She replied trying to sound as blasé as possible. “Yea, see ya.” Tyler said once again whilst turning round to walk out of the store. Maria waited for the store doors to slide closed. “ALEXIS YOU COULD OF TOLD ME SOONER!!!” Maria screamed down the headset. “I did but you carried on talking! What’s the big deal anyway?!” She asked with confusion in her voice. “That was the hot delivery guy I was talking about!!!!! Oh my I’m never going to be able to live this down” Maria said putting her head in her hands looking abashed. “Alexis stop laughing!” Maria scolded, clearly finding the whole scenario hilarious. “Come on Maria what were the chances of that happening, that’s crazy and I’m sorry, but that was hilarious! Look it’s nearly time to shut the shop, hurry and get the batteries tidied up so we can go on time.” She said trying to get rid of her giggles at Maria’s expense. The keys rattled in the lock as Maria and Alexis locked the doors and set the alarm. “Are you in tomorrow?” Alexis asked Maria. “No thank the universe! I’m off for a month! Good job I am too, hopefully this embarrassment will blow over and it will all be forgotten about when I get back! Maybe Tyler will forget who I am. Hopefully!” She said with some relief. “Maybe he didn’t even realise I was talking about him!” She started to convince herself. “Awww I’m gonna miss you! But enjoy your holiday lady! You deserve it!” Alexis patted Maria’s arm in comfort. “Thanks Alexis, you’ll see me I’m sure I’m only down the road. I have to go, I got a lady coming to view the spare room in the morning so I need to go tidy up a bit so I am not rushing around in the morning! I’ll text you and let you know how it goes ok?” “Ok honey you take care.” Maria only lived a five minute walking distance from her work place so it didn’t take much time to get back to her apartment. But the thoughts she had on the way back brought back the feeling of embarrassment. “- and I’m pretty sure I flashed him my n****e accidentally, ugh I don’t even have a pair of nice boobs” these unconfident thoughts carried on until she got to her front door. She certainly didn’t have much body confidence at all. She unlocked the door her keys jangling, dropped her handbag on the floor and headed for the shower to freshen up from work and wash off the shame she had endured that day. “Another day done, here’s to the new one.” She thought to herself. Even though she had the good intentions of coming back to give the apartment a quick tidy round, Maria found herself feeling drained from the days events and decided it would be in her best interest to call it a day and start afresh tomorrow. She went straight to her bedroom only to realise she still needed to put the once coffee soaked linens, back onto her mattress. “Ahh Shit.” She thought to herself tutting out loud and rolling her eyes, before she turned round to collect the sheets from the tumble dryer. It was now a little past midnight and her last task for the day was complete. She slipped off her towel robe she was still wearing from her shower, and slid into bed naked. She loved the feeling of clean fresh bedding against her soft freshly showered skin. Her eyes flickered and she was asleep in a matter of minutes. Because Maria didn’t set an alarm for the morning, (and why would she? She had a whole month of work off to just relax!) she woke naturally around 8:30am to the sound of rain hammering to the ground. The aroma of petrichor in the air from her window being wide open through the night. She laid in bed for ten minutes with her eyes closed and a smile on her face, admiring the beautiful sound and smells flirting with her senses. Her eyes suddenly shot open “s**t, the viewing!” She recalled whilst jumping out of bed to go take a quick shower before having a coffee, and a quick tidy up.
