Chapter one... (Title;The day it stems from)
Rita was stood, patiently waiting for the cycle to finish. Once again her roommate had stopped her from putting on the heating and insisted on opening the window, despite the fact it was mid November. She shivered slightly as she stood in the dark waiting.
Connie was on her way up to her room after a long day up town, she walked past the laundry room and paused as she saw a familiar figure standing shivering.
"Are you okay?" She called out
Rita turned around with a start "just waiting" she said finally
"Again... You're always here!"
Rita nodded and blinked as Connie switched on a light
"What have you been doing to that blanket?" She laughed seeing it in the tumble dryer once again
"Nothing, I just need warmth" she smiled
"There's this thing that we have in the rooms... It's called heating" Connie smirked
"I also have this thing in my room called a roommate... Who insists on having a cool and fresh environment. Aka... No heating and an open window" Rita replied
"But it's November?" Connie said taking her scarf off
Rita nodded and opened the dryer to pull her blanket out "so now you know why I'm always here! Don't want to be cold and ill" she laughed
"My roommate is out of town... She's exploring different options" she said in a slightly mocking tone
Rita laughed and looked at her confused
"Meaning there's an empty bed in the room... And I most definitely shall be putting the heating on" Connie smiled
"Oh I couldn't intrude and I've just heated this so I'll be fine" Rita said smiling slightly
Connie looked at her "it's no bother... You go and get some things and I'm going to dump these upstairs" Connie smiled and left before Rita could protest "room 265" Connie called
Rita laughed and went to get her bits and smiled as she left to walk along the long corridor. She paused outside connies door and took a moment.
You can do this, she told herself.
"Ah here I was thinking you weren't coming up" Connie laughed
"I'm here purely for the heating" Rita lied
"Hmm practise that much in the mirror?" Connie smirked
Rita blushed as they walked back into the room.
"So Rita isn't it?" Connie asked
Rita nodded "so Connie do you often have people back?" She asked wanting to gain more control
"Always this forward?" Connie asked raising an eyebrow
"No I... I erm.. What I mea-"
"Rita" Connie smiled "relax darling"
Rita nodded and breathed deeply
"I'm going for a bath, you should relax... and put a film on?" Connie said getting her things and heading to the bathroom
...
Rita sat watching TV, sat on the sofa.
Connie opened the bathroom door and exited in her towel. Rita bit her lip watching
"You okay?" Connie laughed
Rita fell silent and nodded
"Really? You look like something is bothering you"
"Well... Maybe the fact that you're stood there... Like that" Rita said
"Am I making you flustered?" Connie asked walking over to her
"No.. Just caught me off guard that's all"
Connie smirked and sat down next to Rita in her towel "what are we watching then?" She asked resting her legs over Rita
Rita gulped "just dinner date" she said averting her eyes
"Any good?" Connie asked enjoying the effect she was having on Rita
"It's alright"
"Sorry am I distracting you?" Connie asked leaning into her slightly
"Not much" she said finally
Connie leant in her lips mere centimetres from Rita's, Rita looked at her
"Good" Connie smirked stepping back and going to get changed, leaving Rita incredibly flustered
