As I'm unloading my things from my truck, my music blasts through my headphones and I don't notice my rottweiler, Aero, dash into the house and hit something- or someone- really heavily.
My head snaps towards the front door, where Aero is licking and pawing at some cute guy's face.
"Aero! Come here!" I call and run over.
The guy being tackled is laughing, and not screaming like I thought he would be. "I'm sorry about him," I apologize, pulling my dog away.
The guy grins at me. "No problem. You're one of the roommates living here, right?"
"U-uh, yeah," I say shyly. "I'm Dani."
"I'm Kaz, one of your new roommates! Let me help you with your stuff.." He says, and starts hauling my things inside.
We'd emailed over the summer, deciding who brought the actual furniture, and while my couch was still in my truck, there was a huge liquor cabinet beside the fridge.
I set the box of CD's I'm holding on the floor and point at the cabinet. "Is this yours?" I ask, a bit too quietly.
"What? I can't hear what you said," Kaz looks at me.
I speak up a bit. "Is the cabinet yours?"
He laughs. "Yeah, do you drink?"
I laugh a little. "Y-yes."
After we unload everything and settle in, we sit on the couch and he pours himself a glass of whiskey. "Want some?" He asks.
"Sure," I say, glad to loosen up.
He pours me a glass and sets it on the table. In a British accent, he says, "Your beverage, my Lady."
I would've just died right then and there on the floor after he flashed a smirk, but I just laughed instead. "Thank you, my good sir."
Just then, the door opens and this guy enters the room. "Hi, are you people my roommates?"
Kaz laughs. "Yeah, I'm Kaz and this is Lady Dani."
I blush. "Just Dani," I say.
"Hello, Just Dani," The guy says. "I'm Brendan."
I just sip my whiskey.
The guys move his stuff, and I don't bother, mostly because I don't want to, but I like whiskey and I'm gonna drink more of it when they're gone.
The bottle is set in front of me when they're back.
"Been enjoying yourself there?" Kaz asks.
I, being slightly drunk, loosen up, and say, "Well if I weren't I wouldn't still be here, now would I?"
"Ouch," Brendan laughs.
Kaz snatches the bottle from my hand, which is pouring another glassful. "No more."
I pout and say, "But I needs!"
"But you don't," Kaz firmly responds.
Very dominant, I think in my head. I like.
Then Brendan sits, pours himself some, and we all start talking about random things, like global warming and shit.
Suddenly, Aero goes berserk and starts barking at the door.
"What's up with your dog?" Brendan asks.
"Don't know," I say, not bothering to get up.
"Go see." Kaz says.
