Little Roommate

Wayne was half asleep, still in bed, when the sound of the front door slamming startled him. His mother was the type to scold anyone who slammed the door, so either she was really angry today, or someone else had just entered his house.

Wayne arrived downstairs still in his sleeping clothes, a white tank top and summer shorts. He also held a display katana he had bought at a convention years ago. It was not a real form of self defense, but it sure looked intimidating.

The sight that met him was a woman in her twenties going through his refrigerator. When she turned around, holding an apple in her mouth and Tupperware in her hands, she dropped everything in shock at the sight of Wayne. She even bit through the apple so it fell from her mouth.

“Who?” Wayne demanded.

“What? I’m Meghan. You’re Wayne, right? Didn’t you hear about us from your mother?”

“Us?” Wayne stepped over to the phone that was sitting on the corner of the kitchen counter and pressed the answering machine button. A message from his mother informing him that a woman named Meghan and her two younger sisters would be staying with him over the summer played back. “Get a cell phone,” Wayne grumbled.

“Can you put that down now?” Meghan asked cautiously.

While a single message from his mother was not proof she was someone trustworthy, the likelihood that a burglar would call his house and pretend to invite herself in was slim. “Us?” he repeated.

“Cassie, get in here!” Meghan shouted. A teenaged girl with dyed blonde pigtails entered the kitchen from the living room, running past Wayne and nearly causing him to slice at her with the sword. Her tennis shoes squeaked on the kitchen floor as she spun on her heels to face Wayne. He lowered the sword in his hands and stared at her in awe.

She lowered her gaze to his summer shorts and saw his morning wood and snickered. “Damn, I knew I looked good, but that’s the best compliment a boy’s ever given me.”

“God, you’re disgusting. He just woke up… right? That’s why, um…” Meghan averted her gaze.

“Right, I just woke up.” He leaned the sword against the counter and picked up a plate to hide his shame.

“It’s the middle of the afternoon,” Cassie did not believe him. “Then again, it’s summer and muggy as hell in here,” she changed her mind quickly. She walked past Wayne in search of the AC controls. He got a good look at her practically open blouse. She was wearing a bikini top which made her exposed cleavage less awkward or more so if he took into account how much less than a bra the bikini actually covered.

As she entered the living room again, Wayne craned his neck to get a view of her curved ass bouncing in her plaid skirt. She looked like she walked right out of a magazine for a prep school. He wasn’t sure if her outfit was her uniform or her cosplay preference but he didn’t care. If she dressed like this the whole summer, she could stay rent free.

“Just use a condom if you two get it on.” Meghan rolled her eyes.

Cassie poked her head back into the kitchen. She looked down at Wayne’s shorts again and seemed to make a decision. “He’s definitely got it where it counts, but I make it a habit not to consort with boys I’ve seen at their worst.” She gestured to his attire and bed hair. “Sorry, but no.”

“I wasn’t asking,” Wayne sputtered.

“Meghan might be interested though. Your mother was ever so desperate to try pimping you out to one of us. Only little Colleen seemed interested though.”

“Colleen?” Wayne glanced around for the 3rd sister he had yet to see.

“Colleen!” Meghan shouted again. Wayne shuddered. He was getting annoyed by her loud approach to managing her sisters.

A moment later, the front door opened and a young girl in a white sundress entered. She had on a straw hat which Meghan removed from her head and hung on a hook. “Introduce yourself.” Megan used Colleen’s shoulders to position her in front of Wayne.

“Hell-hello,” Colleen stuttered. Wayne immediately noticed her hair was black, unlike her two sisters who obviously dyed theirs. She looked meek and shy, but also eager to meet him.

“What… um… what did my mom tell you about me?”

“She showed us your picture. You do look cute when you clean up. It was a couple of years old though. Colleen thought you’d be closer to her age. I bet she’s disappointed.”

“Is that true?” Wayne learned forward to try getting a look at Colleen’s eyes.

“No,” she sputtered. “It’s nice to meet you, Wayne. I don’t care if you’re older than me. I’m glad to be here. I hope we can get along.”

“She’s cute.” Wayne ruffled her hair.

“Aw, he called you cute,” Meghan teased her sister.

“Can I ask why 3 women need to stay here for 4 months?” Wayne asked.

“You may ask, but the only answer you’ll get is that we needed to stay somewhere and your mother offered. She said she wouldn’t be home at all, so there would be enough space for all 4 of us.”

“She’s not coming home?” Wayne was caught off guard.

“Does Wayne miss his mommy?” Cassie poked her head back into the kitchen to tease him. He was startled and ended up staring right at her open cleavage for a moment before reacting. “I think I’m gonna like it here,” she laughed rather than taking offence.
