Moving out of my parents' house is a big step for me, especially since for my whole life my family are always there when I wake up in the morning and they're the last people I hear at night. But now, moving to a new condo has a bit of freedom; especially if I'm sharing a condo with my best friends.
"This is really simple, sweetie," Hannah tells Matt, our roommate and her boyfriend, as she walks through the door with him, him carrying two boxes. "The Xbox will be in Victor's bedroom."
Matt puts the boxes down and wipes the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. "What if he has a girl over, babe?"
"Too bad, play the next day," she sighed, tossing her sunshine blond hair off her shoulder. "I don't want to wait for you to come onto the bed to have sex with me when you're going to scream at the TV screen."
Matt takes a step closer to her and places his hands on her hips, "Baby, I'll never leave you waiting to play." He grins.
Matt is a whole head and neck taller than Hannah. His hair glistens with sweat, making his hair black instead of dark brown. His white shirt clung to his chest because of the sweat but I know he's athletic, I grew up with him and his brother anyway.
Hannah giggles and lightly kisses his lips. For one second she's happy as a puppy, but her face changed, glaring at Matt, "But the Xbox is still in Victor's room."
He groans. "Okay, babe. The Xbox will be in Victor's room. Or should it be in the Z's room?"
I shook my head, "Hell no, it will not be in my room." I walked up to him and lightly shoved him. "You boys will be up and screaming while I'm sleeping."
Matt chuckles, "I'm just kidding."
"Better be," I rolled my eyes.
Hannah looks around the condo. "Where in hell is Victor? I told him to get the last two boxes!"
I walked towards the window and peered down to see Victor talking to a pretty redhead. Unlike his older brother, Victor is shirtless and spends most of his time working out. Vic leans in towards the redhead and she meets halfway to kiss him...on the lips.
"Typical," Matt mutters behind me. "I'll go down and get the boxes, after I give him a piece of my mind on being modest to our new neighbors." When Matt leaves with a click of the door, Hannah appears next to me.
"You know it'll hurt you more if you keep looking," Hannah sighs, rubbing my back.
"I'm over it," I said, my voice convincing myself.
"Honey, you are not over it."
I shook my head and turned around to lean against the ledge of the window. "It was a childhood crush. I was only five."
"Yeah and after sixteen years of being best friends, you confessed to him a few months ago on his birthday your real feelings," Hannah points out. "He brushed it off and said that you guys are off being friends only. Now, he got this wild idea of all of us living together." She lightly bumps her shoulder with mine. "I let you keep the bigger room. Plus, it's farther from Victor's room."
I give her a small smile. "Thanks Han, for everything."
"Hey, you're like a sister to me," she smiles. "I'll even go against Matt."
I giggled as I pictured her yelling at him and Matt would just do anything to please her.
