Thread: Roommates (Octopus & translucentfeathers)

Juliet finished her shift, trying to ignore the way her thoughts continued to stray back to the woman with black hair and her blonde girlfriend. Scott's showing up unannounced for her break and attempts to unsuccessfully tempt her into breaking her plans that evening frustrated her enough that forgetting the pair came easily after dealing with him. With a scowl and slight hint of annoyance, Juliet finished the remainder of her day quietly, focusing on her closing tasks. The evening went smoothly, the only crisis was a grad student who thought he lost the thumb drive that held his thesis-and after an hour search it turned up in the bottom of his bag, and a freshman who misplaced her cell phone. All things considered though, it had been a pleasant night once she was able to refocus on her job, and Juliet noticed with a small smile she would be able to shut things down and duck out a little early. Perhaps it was out of spite towards her boyfriend's tastes and his disregard towards her requesting he not show up randomly at her work, but she felt inclined to go home and change before heading over to Larkin's address. Juliet swung by her apartment and not even twenty minutes later was eyeing herself in the mirror appreciatively. A black wife beater tank hugged her curves and displayed her figures narrow waistline while complimenting the swell of her chest. Her pale skin contrasted sharply with the dark coloring and it caused the tattoos on her right forearm and over her shoulder blades stand out with hints of tendrils of ink peeking out above the waistline of her pants. The soft ribbed fabric of her tank top was smooth, only bumping out slightly where the ball from the bar of her belly button ring was raised. A pair of very love worn jeans hung low on her hips, tightly fitted to the curves of her ass and thighs before flaring out at her calves in a way that complimented her hourglass figure. She let her hair be free for the night, sweeping thick smokey eyeliner around her eyes to make their normal pale grey pop. She smiled at the rings on her thumbs and fingers, the woven hemp and cord bracelets that adorned her wrists and left ankle and Juliet teased her lip piercing with her tongue gently. This was her, not that drab mousey proper look from work that Scott kept pushing her into. She plucked her favorite perfume off of the top of her dresser. It was a darker scent, spicy and warm. It reminded her of something a man might wear but there was an undertone of something floral underneath that left it undeniably feminine it was her absolute favorite and she put it on as often she could get away with. Gabbing her jacket, Juliet tugged the warm brown leather over her shoulders before grabbing her keys and wallet, her phone getting slipped into her back pocket. Shutting off the lights to her place she slipped out the front door, locking it behind her. The drive was relatively short, the address not far enough from campus that it would be any sort of hardship. She pulled up, parking on the street in front of the home, eyes taking in the little house for the first time. It was cute and inviting. One story and light yellow with a warm autumn themed wreath on the front door. She raised an eyebrow before climbing out of her car and shoving her hands into her pockets as she made her way up the driveway. It was not exactly what she had expected, but then again, she hadn't woken up this morning thinking she could potentially be meeting a new roommate and touring a possible alternative place to live. She knocked lightly on the door when she got there before glancing over her shoulder down the street. The whole damn neighborhood was inviting and warm. Maybe this had been a good idea.
