Eros' Stray Arrows

2. Roommates

In Gainesville, Florida the fresh out of college student with a major in English literature and a minor in Greek myth, Taylor Hayes, beamed proudly outside her former college but soon he expression darkened. She had nowhere to stay with since all of her friends lived with their parents or moved out of the state.

So there goes Taylor, she wore her signature dark blue hoodie along with dark jeans, her dirty blonde hair pulled back into a single ponytail, her skin was smooth and an olive pale color, ontop her perfect cheek bones lies her two beautiful Hazel, almost golden, eyes. She wandered through apartments looking for one she could afford, eventually she did found one, problem was, it was shared, another girl around her age, also fresh out of college but with a major in photography and a percussionist in band.

Taylor thought about the idea of sharing an apartment with some other girl, she was against the idea but her need was so much greater than her not liking to socialize with new people, so she swallowed her stubbornness and walked up to this girls apartment door.

Once there Taylor slowly rapped her knuckles on the door, out the door came out the girl, her hair was long and brown, it glowed a slight blonde with the sun rays going through the windows, she had a slight tan and cheeks puffy enough to squeeze, decorating said cheeks are a bunch of tiny freckles, just above her cheeks were two Gray eyes, the kind that you'd need a map to not get lost in, she wore jean shorts and a fluorescent green shirt with some fishing logo over where her heart should be "can I help you?" She asked Taylor while tilting her head

Taylor paused for a moment to capture the girls image, subconsciously biting her lower lip "I'm Taylor Hayes, I'm here for the apartment thing... Mind if I come in?" She asked while fidgeting her fingers, the girl smiled and nodded "the name's Julie Grey, nice to meet you Taylor" .

The girls soon talked about each other and how they'd split the bills so they both could live together, days and months flew by, both girls have became best friends, strangely enough neither were dating or ever came out with a gossip on some cute guy. They also gave each other nicknames, Julie was deemed munchkin for her smaller height, and Taylor was called twex for her crazy fun moments. Taylor would always seek out Julie for help with some clothes or opinions on her chapters for her book.

Strangely, Taylor didn't need to seek Julie out this time; she was waiting for her on the couch. "Is something wrong munchkin?" Taylor asks, and she responds by shaking her head... but she looks kind of embarrassed as she does so.

"There's... ah... something I want to talk about with you, Taylor," She finally says. "I... Well, I've never really thought of other women as being attractive before, and maybe it's just because I've been alone so long, but you've been so kind to me and it's so nice to have somebody who cares for me and well I guess what I want to say is -"

Taylor interjects, telling her " slow down and breathe, I'm not going anywhere." Julie pants, then finally squeaks out, "I'm in love with you!" before her face turns bright red. Stunned, Taylor asks her to repeat that. "I said... I'm in love with you. I... ah, forget it, who was I kidding?" She trails off, sadly, and Taylor watches as she begins to turn around and shuffle off.

Before she can get too far, though, Taylor's hand shoots out and clasps her shoulder. Julie starts to question what Taylor's doing, but she spins her around and pulls her into a tight embrace, Taylor says "it's okay I feel the same way." Shyly, Julie offers her lips to Taylor, and she kisses them eagerly. When the two seperate for breath, Taylor asks "do you want to see what it's like with another woman?" Julie's eyes glazed, she nods at her wordlessly and starts leading her away to her own room.

Taylor takes Julie by the hand and allows her to lead her to where it is she plans on having sex with her. Soon enough, through many hesitant steps and lip biting, Julie opened the door to her room and walks towards her bed.
