Boundaries

Chapter 1

Awaken by the sun peeking through the blinds I force myself out of bed and into the bathroom. In the hall I met my roommate with nothing more than a pout and a head nod. Nikki was not a morning person at all. I giggled to myself as I can see you my morning routine.

"You do the same thing every morning?" Nikki asked.

"Well not every single day but I do try to." I replied with a small smile.

Getting to know her will be a process for me. As sweet as I think I am, I'm not so good at making friends. However, she was the only person I could find that was serious about needing a roommate and was very professional about it. She impressed me and hopefully she's a cool person on a personal level.
She never seemed to act awkward in my presence. Always very calm, comfortable, and attentive. Her comments were random and short, I I wonder if she'll open up to me.

"Why are you up so early? You don't seem to be a morning person." I attempted to continue to engage in conversation.

This is our third morning here as roommates and most of the time has been spent on moving in. All I know is that she isn't a criminal, works and smokes. Not much different from what she knows about me. A big risk we took here, but obviously we both needed a roommate, so here we are.

"Unpacking, that's all for now, maybe house shopping later. I'm only up because I don't have any blinds and any light disturbs my sleep." She replied with a big yawn.

"Cool, I need to unpack and Shop as well but I was headed out for food first, want to join?"

"Sounds good, the last time we really just sat in each other's presence we only talk about business. Which is a good thing but, I need to make sure my roommate isn't a psychopath." she laughed.

"I agree." I replied briefly with a giggle.

We parted ways to continue to get ready for breakfast. After freshening up I unwrapped my hair and threw on a sundress and flip flops. I felt cute in my dress complimenting my curves without accenting my belly fat. I decided to lightly apply makeup aiming for a natural look with a soft pink lip. Cute. Very cute.
As I wrapped it up my phone began to ring. Who could it be?

"Hey BreAnn, what are you doinggggg?" My best friend Kaylee's bouncy happy voice sounded.

"About to go to breakfast with my roommate." I answered grabbing my purse and keys.

"Okay. Want to smoke later?" She asked excitedly.

"Of course! Come over later! I do have my own place now." I replied thinking of where to go for breakfast.

"Cool, call me when you get home." She called out now from a distance, "Gotta go! Love you, bye."

"Love you too! Bye."

My focus turned back to Nikki. She was in little black shorts, a Hollister muscle shirts and Sperrys. Her hair was half down and half in a ponytail. She was cute and her body was BANGING!

"Where to?" Nikki interrupting my thoughts.

" I was thinking Denny's. I'm in the mood for some good pancakes and an omelette." Just thinking about it made my stomach roar.

"Do they have burgers?" She asked pulling out a small bag, "And you said you smoke, smoke what?" Her eyebrows lifted.

I smiled because I knew just by that question she was a stoner like myself. Unexpected, but AWESOME!

"That stanky dank, that's what! You tryna roll up?" I confirmed.

"Well a meal ain't a meal without the munchies." She claimed while taking out a pack of rillos.

I joined her on the couch after grabbing my bag as well. This is the start of a beautiful friendship, I think.

******************************

Conversing and laughing with Nikki so long over blunts, we lost track of time and decided to eat oatmeal and turkey bacon, annnnd everything else we could find in the kitchen. We had awesome conversations is she really seems to be a legit cool person. We have more in common than I thought but we're very different coming from different backgrounds.
Unfortunately, she got a call from her brother and our time was cut short but just in time for my call from Kaylee. 

"Nigga, it's later!" she fussed before I could finish my hello. "I'm ready to be high!" 

"Shiiid, come on bro!" I slurred, high asf already. 

"Yo ugly ass already there, I'm on my way!"
