I plopped down on the couch with a bowl of popcorn in my hand and my legs crossed as I switched my movie on. The Woman in Black, it was an undeniable thriller and I was eger to get it started. As the preview drawled on I casually scrolled through my phone, my wallpaper had a picture of me and my boyfriend Dan on it. I smiled thinking how I met him in the gym when he came and asked me for help with his cardio workout.
If I knew it was a strategy to see if he could get my number I wouldn't have given him the time of day however his charm sealed the deal and we have been dating for 6 months!
My longest relationship ever!
My little apartment was cosy, simple and not to stuffy. My two roommates where easy enough to handle too. Blossom and Bubbles (I know strange names) and we have grown rather close living in this flat for a couple of years and made really good friends with the neighbours Brick and Butch and Boomer too.
My phone buzzed in my hand, snapping me out of my reminiscing and I saw Dan's name flash onto my screen. With a small smile a quickly read the text and replied before turning it on silent and throwing it to the other side of the apartment onto the chair.
The movie had been going a good 45 minutes and I'd managed to chomp through half of my popcorn with a few startled jumps.
Just then my blond haired roommate came in dumping a couple of bags of groceries on the small island located in our kitchen.
"Hey Buttercup!"
I gave her an 'huh' and a wave of my hand not taking my eyes of the TV, Kipps was about to walk into a creaking room...
"Hey BC!" A new voice entered, I had to wait to see the next part before even looking to see who had called my name.
"Whoa! That is so creepy!" I laugh, I twist my body and see Butch helping Bubbles with another grocery bag "Sup"
"Yo what you watching?" Butch asked as he bounds over the couch sitting right at the side of me.
"The Woman in Black"
"Any good?"
"Decent"
"Sweet"
Butch lived across the hall with his flatmate Brick, they also had another roommate Boomer until he decided to move out (the peace lover out of the three) and we all still remain a tight knit friendship group so we still see him regularly.
"So where's Brick and Boomer?" Bubbles asks putting the shopping away
"Boomer said he would be round soon, probably to vouch dinner off you guys..."
"Yeah like your not going to do the same!" I laugh stuffing more popcorn in my mouth
"Pssh anyway and Brick should have left his office a few hours ago, but I think he has a lady friend over. There was his hat on the door so hence why I offered dear little Bubs here"
I rolled my eyes, I like there 'hat on the door system' but sometimes I think they take advantage of our hospitality.
"I bet it's Blossom" I short laugh escapes my lips my eyes still not leaving the TV but I'm not paying much attention to it anymore.
"Probably" Butch shrugged
"Come on guys Blossom told me she doesn't do that anymore!" Bubbles interjected
Blossom is really gorgeous and could have anyone she wanted if she put her mind to it. Her class and smart added to her beauty however she has this habit of falling in out out of relationships, not because she's 'one of them women' or anything of course not! She one of the most respected and self-respecting lawyers in town it's just the guys she dates always come up short so... she usually goes to see Brick and they usually spend the night. And vice versa in Brick's case.
Brick is a very important CEO of a company that has a lot of branches through out the town and okay he is rather decent looking. His strong demeanour and business sass has made him one of the most sought after bachelors in America. Also he acts like a womanizer and usually as a few one night stands; but whenever he tries to give a relationship ago and things don't go to plan he usually goes to see Blossom.
Hey some people eat tubs of ice cream, Blossom and Brick have play buddies.
She says there nothing 'more' between them and their just friends (real close friends) and he would never take advantage of her. It's a strange relationship but if it's one they can live with I don't see why we can't. However Bubbles doesn't like the idea at all and I think any combination with a heartbroken redhead is nightmarish so Blossom swears she and Brick and only remaining friends now. But the dear question is where are our two fun loving redheads right this second?
"Isn't she dating that Tom guy?" Butch asked, the movie forgotten.
"Yeah! So she can't be with Brick" Bubbles said.
Just then we heard a door opening and closing and our own door opening. A red bob of hair spilled in, Blossom entered her lipstick well and truly gone and her long copper hair cascaded down her back, she was carrying her jacket and her red ribbon in her hand.
"Oh hey guys!" She beamed walking towards her room. "Can't wait for dinner!" she said airily
I looked at Butch and Bubbles with a knowing grin and counted down from 5 five with my fingers.
'...3,2,1'
The door opened and the devilish looking idiot strolled in. Just because I didn't care how Blossom and Brick exploit their relationship doesn't mean I don't have to think he's an idiot.
"Well, well, well and who have you been doing? Oops I'm sorry I ment what have you being doing?" I asked my head resting in my hand looking over the back of the couch. Brick just rolled his eyes
"Come on BC we just talked! Sheesh third degree or what?" He said taking a seat on one of the stools near the island. Just then the door opened again.
"Helloo" Boomer said in a sing song voice taking a seat next to Brick "What's new in the world of the roomies?" He asked taking a bite out of an apple.
"Brick did Blossom again" Butch said, Boomer just shrugged while Brick glared at him.
"I asked what was new" Boomer said uninterested, Brick sigh in frustration. Blossom then appeared back from her room, she was wearing some PJ shorts and a pink tank top and fluffy white slipper boots. Ignoring everyone she kept her arms crossed around her body and made a bee-line towards the bathroom before slamming the door.
We all started at the door waiting for something to happen when nothing did slight normality returned.
"What you watching?" Brick asked joining Butch on the couch while Boomer offered to help Bubbles prepare dinner. However I stood up and walked over to the bathroom.
"Yo Bloss? Everything okay in there?" I asked knocking
"Yep peachy keen!" He voice came through the other side but I could still sense the apprehension.
"You sure?" I tried the knob to find it locked
"Yep"
I wasn't one to just be 'shooed' away without an answer, so grabbing a bobbing pin from my hair I twisted it at the door until I heard a satisfying 'click' rushing so she wouldn't slam the door shut I barge my way through and what I saw stops me dead.
Blossom wastes no time and runs round me slamming the door shut again.
"What did you do that for?" She hisses but I'm in too much shock so I just point at the object.
"Is that what I think it it?" I whisper, Blossom takes a shaky breath but doesn't say a word. I walk over to it and look down at it. The sight knocks the wind out of me.
"What does it say?" She asks quietly, I turn back at her wide eyed to see her biting her nails scared.
I gulp.
"Positive."
