So I'm Jessie Parker and I'm 23 years old. I live with my parents in their basement of their three story house that once belonged to my grandparents.
I don't know what I want to do with my life as of right now so I just sit at home play games, go to the store when I need something, and I go to my job at Walmart.
Yup, Walmart, right now I stock shelves and it doesn't really pay that well but it gets me by on my essentials and stuff. Oh yea I have a roommate whose name is Carlos Taylor.
So he and me live together he's 20 and in college and keeps trying to convince me to go with him to visit one day and be his shadow and see how things over there work.
And when I say 'over there' I mean like 5 minutes away from the apartment. So then he goes and pesters me by saying that I don't have an excuse that its too far away.
He's so annoying. Well I think one time he said that he wanted to move out after college so I only have to deal with him for 3 more years since he's a freshman.
Yay. Can you hear the sarcasm? But he's actually pretty chill most if the time.
So right now I'm cooking dinner for him and me and I think that its going to be great, I'm being sarcastic because I cannot cook even if my life depended on it.
So right now the meal that I am making is spaghetti with meat sauce and garlic bread because that is easy and my mom decided that I should know how to make that before I moved out.
Also, the garlic bread was frozen so all I had to do we read the directions on the back and put it in the oven.
"Aye I'm home!!!" Carlos yells from the entryway.
"Kay I'm in the kitchen cooking spaghetti and meat sauce for us!" I yell back.
"Oooooh yay your speciality" He replies sarcastically.
"Yea you know that's the only thing I can make well." I yell at him from the kitchen.
"Hey can I invite Jay over for dinner tomorrow night?" Carlos asks as he comes into the kitchen and reaches out from behind to take a noodle out of the pot.
"Umm yea sure thing just let me know by tonight what you want us to have for dinner tomorrow night." I say.
You see Jay is Carlo's girlfriend and they have been together since the middle of their junior year in high school.
So they will been together officially for one and a half years in two days. Carlos also has a job as a busboy in one of the fanciest restaurants in town, so I would say he gets paid pretty well.
"Kay" Carlos responds.
He leaves the kitchen and I near him turn on the TV in the living room.
As I take the noodles out of the pot and strain them while running cold water over them I stir the meat sauce one last time and taste it. It actually tastes pretty good.
"Carlos!! Dinner is ready!!" I yell to him.
"Coming hold up a second." He responds.
"Ok" I say.
Carlos walks in and plops down into his chair. I say a short prayer and start eating. Carlos isn't very religious and neither am I but sometimes we say short prayers before meals.
"So," I say trying to make conversation. "Were you watching the news?" I ask.
"Yea there was this guy that shoplifted from the local mall and the police have put up wanted signs all over town. They say that he's extremely dangerous and that he may or may not have a slight limp when he walks around on his left leg because of a stunt he pulled a few years back they said." Carlos says.
"Oh, that's pretty interesting." I say.
There's a silence that fills the room while we eat for a while and finish our plates of food.
"So what do you want to do tonight?" I ask Carlos.
"Eh I think I'm just gonna take a shower and study a little then go to sleep." Comes Carlo's reply.
"Ah ok." I say.
He walks off to the bathroom to take his shower and his nightly routine.
I hear the shower turn on and stack the dishes nice and neatly before I do them and I prewash them because I don't feel like using all my energy trying to wash hardened food on them.
I finish pre-washing the dishes and I hear the shower go off and the bathroom door opens and Carlos comes out with only a towel on his hips and walks to his room.
I've already finished the dishes and I'm getting myself a glass of water when he comes out seconds later, dressed only in a pair of sweatpants, since its fall and comes into the kitchen to get himself a glass of water and he reaches over me and opens the cabinet next to my head and while he's reaching to get a glass I notice the way his veins pop out since he's really fit.
He sees me staring at him when he gets the glass and smirks at me. He reaches around me and fills up his glass and starts to walk off to his room.
He doesn't turn around but says "Goodnight Jess."
I realize that he has stopped moving. Oh. I think. He wants me to say goodnight to him.
"Goodnight Carlos" I hear myself say.
He seems to have heard me to because he then starts to walk off again and a few seconds later I hear his door shut.
Welp. I think. I'm tired so I'm just going to go to bed too.
I go into my room and change into a pair a sweatpants and a thin t shirt.
"Goodnight Jessie." Is my last thought when I hit my pillow and I go straight to sleep.
