“BEEP!!!!!”
I open my eyes and hit the snooze button but then remember I already hit it…twice.
I stop it and throw my robe on.
I head out to the living room to make coffee to find my roommate Peyton already making a pot.
“Morning, you're up early this morning.”
She turns and smiles at me.
“Yeah…I have to run the shop today because my Aunt is out of town. You're up late.”
I laugh and take a seat on the bar stool in front of the island.
“Fun, yeah I hit snooze twice, that’s how monday works.”
She nods and pours us each a cup of coffee and sits beside me.
“We have a new neighbor right across the hall.”
I nod lost in thought.
“Well I should get ready….oh by the way can you run to the grocery later today? I’m working late tonight to cover a shift.”
“Sure. You're too nice. I feel like you cover at least seven shifts a week!”
I laugh and head to my room to put my scrubs on.
“WHERE ARE ALL THE PINK HAIR TIES!?”
I am in our shared bathroom searching for pink hair ties so that it will match my pink scrubs.
“I DON’T KNOW! MAYBE JUST WEAR ANOTHER COLOR!”
I let out a sigh and grabbed a grey one and then grabbed my bags and keys.
“Bye, have a good day at the shop!”
I’m halfway out the door when I hear Peyton yell something at me.
“YOUR COFFEE!”
I stop dead in my tracks and race into the kitchen and grab my coffee.
“Alright I’m going to work now, bye.”
I head out the door and as soon as I take a step I collide with someone. I drop my coffee and bags which spill everywhere.
“OH!”
“Jeeze lady, watch where you're walking!”
I look up to see a giant…I mean a man standing in front of me shaking his head.
“Well if I recall correctly you were the one who ran into me.”
He rolls his eyes and continues walking.
“WAIT! Who are you? I don’t recognize you….and it would be a nice thing to do if you’d help me pick up this mess.”
He laughs.
“You mean the mess you caused? No thank you. I live right here.”
No, no, no….this can’t be happening.
HE LIVES ACROSS FROM ME?!
“Wow, really nice of you. Well good to know my neighbor is kind.”
I roll my eyes and start picking up my bags and items that fell out.
“Well…neighbor here is this.”
I turn to see what he’s handing me.
“Oh…umm. Thank you.”
He walks into his apartment laughing.
