One Piece and a Gaming Chair

It had been almost a month since Alai had moved into apartment 2b. She had finally managed to get her living room set up and was propped up on her black velvet sectional, drowning in the sea of furry tan, white and red throw pillows, flipping through the movies Hulu with no intention of choosing any of them. She was completely and utterly miserable. She had moved here because of a job offer, but after touring the facility and meeting the staff she just knew in her heart this was not the place for her. After politely declining the position, she mentally punched the air dreading the idea of job hunting. Interview after interview she sank deeper into her feelings with each denial. The girls tried to cheer her up, but honestly, they didn't know her well enough to know how to help.

"Tap, tap, tap," Alai groans in response to the knocking on the door. "Who IS IT?" she barked, pissed that someone had the nerve to be at her door unannounced. A delicious chuckle wafts through the door and she instantly hops up, checking herself in the hall mirror. " Sorry to bother you neighbor, thought you could use a pick me up?" Salim says even through a door he sounded just as sexy as ever. " One moment!" she yelled as She threw her a wrap around her short messy hair and adjusted her cute fuzzy lime green two piece. Tripping over air on her way to the door, she cracked the door peeking out at Salim the door like a disturbed shut in, " how may I help you" she says in her best English accent. Salim wastes no time pushing her door open and letting himself in. He stopped just inside her living room, looking side to side, backpack slung over his shoulder he whistled, "Good shit" he says as he walks forward and begins setting his game system up. " Excuse me, What the fuck do you think you're doing?" Alai asked looking at him like he'd lost his damn mind. Fine as he was, who the hell did he think he was just waltzing in here and getting comfortable. They had barely said two words to each other since her move in day so what's the deal now. "Mannnnn sitcho ass down! We vibing today." Salim lazily drags out each word. Pulling the fuzzy lime green robe around her body self-consciously she silently tucked herself in the corner of her sectional. Balled up like a toddler she peeked over her knees watching Salim break down weed by hand on her table. She followed him with her eyes as he got up in search of a trashcan, after dumping the guts of his honey bourbon backwood he carefully spread out the leaf. Alai watched closely as he used his tongue to moisten parts of the leaf and thought about all the ways he could use his tongue to nurture her body. As he made his way back to the table she couldn't help but notice the bulge in his grey sweats, staring, she felt her lady parts clench and unclench. She watched him pick the weed up with his surprisingly elegant fingers and sprinkle it carefully across the leaf, imagining those long nimble fingers strumming a tune between her legs before gently wrapping around her throat and pulling her in close. She wanted this man. She knew it and he knew it so she figured there was no point in even playing this game. Pushing herself off the couch she went into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon along with two glasses. Making her way back to the living room she set the two glasses on the coffee table and filled one to the brim before sitting back down in the corner of the sectional. Grabbing the full glass, she readjusted her robe and leaned back into the corner of the couch sipping her wine while peering curiously at Salim over her glass.

" So, you just not gone say shit?" Salim asked as he lit the blunt he had just rolled with such care. " You could at least put something on the tv, he says as he exhales a cloud of smoke. He grabbed the bottle and poured himself about a quarter cup of wine. He deeply inhaled the blunt before passing it to her and sipping his glass while leaning back to get comfortable on the couch.

Alai finally spoke, " Yo, you walked in MY shit, unannounced, setting up game systems, rolling up blunts talking 'bout "Weeeee vibbiiinngg" Alai mocks Salim. " I figured you had all the plans", she snips, all the while snatching up the remote and turning on the tv. " You playing this game you just set up or you tryna watch some?" she asks with all the sass she can muster in her current mental state.
