Thread: Roommates (Octopus & translucentfeathers)

Juliet couldn't deny the slight shock she felt when Larkin opened the door. The woman was tall, much taller than she had assumed from their interactions in the library, though Larkin had been sitting the entirety of the time. The woman's larger frame slightly towered over her smaller five foot six inch frame there had to be at least a half foot difference between them. She followed behind Larkin quietly as they toured the home. It was warm and vibrant and beautiful, with the eclectic furniture and bright rich colors. Juliet listened as the taller woman went over the terms again, simply nodding in agreement while she took everything in. There was a slight crashing noise that came from what she assumed had to be the attic and raised an eyebrow when Larkin brushed it off as nothing more than her girlfriend's clumsiness. When they made their way down the hall she noticed an ornately carved door that looked to lead to the above space. Juliet's mind wondered what Larkin's living space looked like, if it was as bright and colorful as the rest of the house or carried that strict tone she seemed inclined towards. She didn't have much time to think on it as Larkin was opening a bedroom door that was to be hers if she accepted it. Juliet had to be honest, she couldn't imagine why she wouldn't agree to the possible offer as she glanced over the space. It was large, almost the half the size of her entire meager apartment. Juliet's eyes swept over the large windows where the setting sun filtered through the glass, casting a warm glow over everything, lingering on the bench under those windows that just begged for her to curl up on with her text books. She felt fingers twirling through a strand of her hair and she glanced up at those vibrant green eyes before glancing back down at those tan teasing fingers and the obvious push for familiarity. She was reminded briefly of their height difference when she gazed up at her, and a small part of herself wondered what it would be like to be cornered by that gorgoeous larger frame, to be crowded into a wall or corner while Larkin loomed over her, playing to their size difference. It left her cheeks feeling a bit flushed as she attempted to refocus her attentions to the woman's words. One particular expression having caught her focus. Addition? She hummed as she stepped through the door, a pale hand sweeping through her hair to pull the long tresses away from Larkin's touch as she stepped out of reach to walk through her potential room. You make it sound like I would be a piece of furniture or book added to some collection, she hummed before glancing out the window. I don't drink or smoke and drugs are of course not part of the equation, she said easily as she studied the yard her windows opened out to and the beautiful little pond out back. The only time clutter happens is when finals are rearing their ugly head but that tends to be more of a mess of notes and text books being littered about. It would be confined to my room and would end as soon as testing is over, she said easily. Juliet slipped over to the second black door in the room that opened up to a bathroom. The price won't be a problem. Obviously, otherwise I wouldn't be here, she thought to herself before continuing. Only thing I ask is whatever 'activities' you and your girlfriend get up to stay out of this space once I move in, she said with a brief shake of her head and slight shudder. Nothing like walking in on your roommate and her drunken flavor of the night going at it on your own bed after a long day at work. Juliet had never lived with anyone after that again. Though, the thought of Larkin with Carolina wasn't entirely unappealing, and the idea of that strict commanding nature the dark haired woman seemed to exude traveling into the bedroom left a slight heat rising across the skin of her neck and cheeks. She shook her head briefly before shutting the bathroom door to walk over to the black wall, a pale hand smoothing over the dark paint for a moment. If that is something you can agree to? And as long as you aren't hiding body parts in your fridge or moonlighting as an axe murderer in your free time, then you found yourself a new roommate, she said, before shoving her hands into her back pockets to turn and give her attentions back to the raven haired woman in the doorway.
