Its been exactly 1 week ,2days , 4hrs,11mins and 32 seconds (I'm guessing ) since I last encountered Charm that was not only the last day I saw him but the last day anyone ever saw him life's been boring except for the beautiful autographed T-shirt I have in a case hanged on my bedroom wall I see it when I wake up and go to sleep what can I say its a beautiful sight .
I hate my job all I do is stay indoors and type answer calls then look for the next big thing yes I'm a freelancer in case you're thinking a 20 year old who lives in an expensive apartment , is about to finish university recently bought a shirt worth $1500 would have a stable job , right ?, well not me I'm lazy and love working on my own time what I mean LITS right I wanna enjoy life but yes I'm irresponsible and its not something I'd advise to do like I'm really lucky but luck runs out I literally almost got kicked out once that's why I have a temporary typing job alongside freelancing
*buzz*
I hear my doorbell ring yes it sounds like a buzzer I don't know why its like that and I don't ask .
I walk up to the door open it and right there I see my landlord I could have sworn I paid this months rent wait did my neighbours really complain to him oh no
" hello Mrs Myers how have you been " my landlord Mr dean Brose says ,I'm suspicious he's too nice
"I'm quite fine as you can see what brings you here if I may ask " I say pulling off my fairest smile its as fake as his plastic wig he's got a bold head he tries to hide
"Well see you live in one of our best apartments with 3 self-contained bedrooms and all " he says
"Your point is" I say I hope he won't kick me out
" well I've got a client who needs a place he can lay low just for a month after that he'll be gone plus he's gonna prepay the rent for the next month meaning you'll get a free month " Mr dean says I stopped listening at a free month no paying rent I can finally save up enough to buy myself a new camera setup yes I also create content I have a few thousand followers OK I'm being modest I can't possibly afford such a luxurious apartment with just a few followers I have 4.5 million followers on YouTube yes I'm a bit famous I know right
"OK when will he come " I say almost too quickly
"He'll move in today " Mr dean says and I give him a smile and he leaves after I close the door I realise I made an error I didn't ask who my roommate is what if he's an ex convict or worse a fetishistic pervert oh shoot I practically sold myself for a month free from rent and all I'm doing is pacing in my living room which isn't helping
*buzz*
What does Mr dean want now I groan and go open the door a man holding a box is at the door
"So you're my temporary roommate I assume " I say cautiously
" yes may I come in" he says sounding so familiar too familiar
"Sure " I say as I move out of the way he enters and get His suitcases well I assumed the fact that they were only 2 they must be light , they aren't my hands ache too much I'm practically dragging them in after much grunting and pulling I finally get them in the apartment I close the door and as I turn around to see who my housemate is I literally die and go to heaven
" well look at that we meet again" he says in his thick Aussie accent flip me over and turn me sideways
"Charm omg you're in my home , wait I'm looking messy omg give me a sec will you " I say as I run to my room straight in the bathroom take a quick shower change into a a sorta sexy big T-shirt and a short denim skirt and I do a lazy messy bun even thought this bun isn't messy its like the no makeup makeup look I put some lip gloss on and I go back downstairs
"Hello " I say smiling broadly and he looks up at me from the sofa seems he's settled in
" You look lovely" he says chuckling I literally almost trip I'm not even in heels I'm in flip-flops
" what can I say I like to look my best by the way what makes you move here " I ask curiously
" a break " he says , a man of few words
" oh sorry I haven't shown you your room you must be tired and all " I say realising how stupid I've been
" Mmh" he nods oh shoot no words is he regretting having me as his housemate what if he moves out
"here let me carry your bags and show you your room " I say dragging his suitcases and he follows carrying the box he came with makes me wonder how did he carry all this alone I guess he must have had help
"OK so you can have the Master bedroom my room is over there and the one next to you is empty my best friend usually uses it when she's here " I say as I open the door
"Why don't you stay in the Master bedroom" he asks as he puts his box on the table besides the door
"Its crazy but it felt really boring here like compared to my room there isn't any view here I like how warm my room is and it feels less lonely in there " I say sentimentally
"Oh sorry I must have bored you right I'll leave you to rest " I say a bit embarrassed
"Its OK I wasn't bored and I must say you seem to have an artistic view on things " he says relaxed
"I love painting but I hardly do it OK I'm leaving so that you can settle in if you need anything you know where my room is " I say and he nods then I leave I walk to my room I enter and I close the door shut
"Ahhhh omg charm is living here in my apartment my freaking apartment omggggggggg" I scream as I jump on my bed little did I know that my house walls aren't as thick as I thought yes Charm heard me loud and clear so much for being cool .
' very interesting' charm thinks as he receives a call
"Hello " I say
"Buddy where have you disappeared to " my annoying best friend says
"Xav I didn't disappear I just moved out " I say ' I swear I question why I'm friends with him sometimes '
"Same shit anyways give me your address I have important business to discuss with you " Xavier says in a serious tone which means it's important
"I'll text it to you " I say as I hung up the phone I quickly send him a text and I throw my phone away I have to arrange this place I must say when I heard I'd have to have a housemate I was skeptical but Zadie what an interesting woman .
* Back in Zadie's room *
"Tasia get here asap pack your clothes we're having a sleepover " I say over the phone excitedly
"What got you so hyped " she says and chuckles
"Its a secret just get here quick " I say a bit impatiently
"Fine be there in a few " She says and I hung up and fall on my bed 'ah I'm living with a celebrity whoever wrote my destiny thank you so much ' I think smiling dazed in my thoughts I hear something break
'What was that ' I rush out of my room , run downstairs only to see my best friend at the door with a Charcoal facemask and her hair in a messy bun and she is in nothing but a robe quickly making me realise she was having a spa day at home ,
she stands there in shock and I realise the one who dropped the plate wasn't charm but X...Xavier wait Xavier McQuaid is in my home 2 celebrities have graced my house with their presences pause I'm afraid if I blink this'll turn out to be a dream
"Zadie!!!" My best friend literally runs yelling my name and runs past me straight to my room and while I'm registering what's happening she comes out in 5 minutes all dressed and looking hot haha I guess we are the same she walks up to me giving me the "we have to talk " and we go downstairs
"Hello omg sorry I scared you " tasia says acting cool like she doesn't know he is a billionaire celebrity I wish I acted like that when I met charm
"No sweat " he says 'why do good looking men have to be so hypnotising ' tasia thinks as she looks at him
"Oh hello I'm Zadie I live here I wasn't expecting Anyone let alone a celebrity today to what do I owe this pleasant surprise" I say nervously
"Oh Charms housemate Zadie ,I'm here to see Charm as his best friend and all I had to see where his moved to " He says playfully and tasia looks at me
"I'm sorry who lives here " She says in a girl what tone
"Charm wintergreen that's my surprise" I say excitedly
"Omg I'm never leaving here " tasia says as we sequel in excitement forgetting that Xavier is still here
"He's so hot much hotter in person " I say gushingly
"Not hotter than Xavier" tasia says defensively
"You only say that cause you've been his wife for so many years even though he doesn't know you're his wife " I say laughing making her frown
"Hey in my defense who wouldn't love Xavier he isn't just perfect but also his flaws are attractive" tasia says dreamily and I laugh
"Cough Cough " , we turn to notice Xavier and Charm standing there tasia leans in towards me
"Shit I forgot he was here think they heard us " she says smiling
"Every word let's just walk away we've already embarrassed ourselves " I say smiling through gritted teeth as I'm about about to back away I trip on the couch behind me I swear it wasn't there before
"Ah " I scream as I land on the couch
"Zee you OK " tasia says as she comes to my aid
"Yes and no " I say as I get up
"You OK" charm says if I wasn't embarrassed I'd blush and think about how Charm asked if I was OK but nope not happening I give Tasia the look and she gets the message
"No no I'm fine all good " I say as Tasia and I literally Sprint upstairs and to my room
"Nice meeting you Xavier" Tasia yells as shuts the door.
"Best that was so embarrassing " tasia says as she flops onto my bed I fall besides her
"I know but I can't believe I'm going to be living with a celebrity" I say dreamily
"I know right I couldn't believe you met him and got an autograph now this tell me your secrets " tasia says jokingly
"Haha its such a big secret that even I don't know it" I say laughing
"Best our friends will be so jealous when we tell them at the highschool reunion next month " Tasia says
"I bet they'll die of jealousy but as of now we shouldn't tell anyone so that they aren't bombarded by crazy fans " I say thoughtfully
"Right but how long is he staying here " tasia says
"A month why " I say as I face her
"You have a once in a life time chance to be friends with your idol don't let it slip away " tasia says as she turns to face me
"You're right best I'm on cloud nine " I say as my stomach growls and we laugh
"Let's have lunch " Tasia says and I nod we head downstairs to find they aren't there must be in his room
"Pasta " tasia questions
"Kimchi" I suggest
"Both " tasia shrugs
"Why not " I say and we giggle we start cooking and I don't know If its cause I'm hungry or I'm just really good at cooking but this smells amazing
"Mmmmh smells good ..... And tastes good " Tasia says as she has a taste we finish up cooking and clean up and start dishing up .
"smells good , can we have some" Xavier says only then do we notice the extra two presences ' OK act cool I'm good at that I'm naturally cool just be you Zadie you got this ' I think
"Sure I'll dish you some " I say as Tasia hands me 2 plates wait these are my finest China's I see what she going at but these are my babies , I serve them some kimchi and add some noodles and meatballs
"I see Italian and Korean that's why it smells so good " Xavier says
"Are pasta and meatballs Italian" tasia says more to herself than us , good question
"Does it matter " I say
"Good point to the dining " Tasia says as we all carry our plates to the dining and sit down 'I'm eating with Charm ' I think smiling
"This is good you have to give me the recipe " Xavier says moaning in delight
"can't its a secret" Tasia says and we giggle
"Its really good" Charm says looking at me straight in the eyes I gulp nervously swallowing the invisible thing stuck in my throat
"Thank you " I say in a small voice
"Don't mind him he is a quiet person really boring so tell me about yourselves ladies" Xavier says chiming in
"What's there to say I'm kim Tasia , Zadie's best friend I'm Asian American , I'm in university studying Fashion designing , I can play the guitar ,cook , I speak 5 languages I'm single ready for marriage I have a very good horoscope and look at that according to our Zodiacs I'm your soulmate " Tasia says in one breath I literally laugh making her blush

"Pleasures all mine its rare for us to have time to sit ,eat and chat that too with 2 lovely ladies such as yourselves " Xavier says
"I can't help but agree " charm says making me and tasia blush we eat and chat for a while , for celebrities they are actually down to earth after lunch we decide to play a game
"Let's play a board game " Xavier says
"Chess?" I say
"Snakes and ladder's" Tasia says
"Whichever" Charm says
"Both " Tasia and I say excitedly...
