Hello potential flatmates. I am looking to rent out a room in the London area, I have the room ready to move in to as soon as you can.

So, My name is Phil. I am 26 years old and love company. I am a fun person, a little crazy sometimes but that's just me. I'm not too hard to live with, I hope. Anyway, on to a more serious matters, the rent can be discussed on arrival or when you come around to have a look, if you want to have a look that is.

Please phone me on the number above if you're interested

Thanks

Phil

It was finally published

I had spent at least three hours trying to write this Ad for a new housemate. I mean, I needed a housemate for a number of reasons.

1. Possibly the most obvious reason. I have a two bedroom apartment and well, what's the point in having an empty room when you can make a little extra money of it.

2. I get so lonely living here alone. At first I thought it would be fun to live alone, no parents, no, well, anybody. But no. living alone sucks.

3. I don't think there even is a third reason, I just want some company.

So there we go. I'm sitting here all on my own, in my lonely little apartment staring at my Ad in the newspaper. I wonder how long it will take for someone to reply? Hopefully not long.

I hate being alone.

As if on cue there was a small knock at the door

I sigh

Who could it be at this time?

I stand up, stretching as a small yawn escapes my lips.

Another knock at the door

I quickly make my way towards the door, jumping over several obstacles (cushions and such on the floor) before making a final leap and grabbing the door handle with a small giggle. I'm such a big kid sometimes. I compose myself as I open the door and smile sweetly. "yes?"

The smile is soon wiped off my face and a look of, well, shall we say, surprise emerges. There stood in front of me is a gorgeous guy who looks a little younger's than me. He has dark drown eyes and a similar haircut to be except in brown. He looks amazing.

"hey"

His voice brings me out of my little daze.

"um, hey…who are you?"

I ask softly, not being able to keep my eyes off him. If he isn't gay I think I'll have to go curl up in the corner and cry. I mean, wouldn't it be perfect if he was?

"oh, I'm Dan. I'm hear about the room"

I'm yet again broken out of my thoughts by his voice. Concentrate Phil, he may be gorgeous but concentrate on talking to him instead of drooling over him.

"oh, of course" I reply quickly, stepping aside "please, come in"

He nods and flashes me a small smile. Oh god, he has dimples. Can this guy be anymore perfect? He steps inside and looks around, the smile still plastered on his face.

"I'm sorry for coming here so late, I just read your Ad and decided to drop in" he scratches the back of his neck and gives me another perfect smile "sorry again, I mean, I should really look at the time before doing things"

"n-no, it's fine" I manage to stutter out, focussing myself enough to hold a conversation. I just stuttered. Really Phil? Get yourself together. He must be straight. Stop letting your over active imagination take this out of proportion.

"so um, the Ad said the rooms ready to move into as soon as…right?"

"yeah…do you want to look at it?" I mentally kicked myself. Of course he does, why would he come over here if he didn't? "of course you want to see it, sorry, I'm such a weirdo"

He laughed softly and flashed me another smile "it's fine, yo know, you're kinda cute" he said with a small wink than laughed again.

I blushed furiously as I looked towards the spare room "l-let's go see the room shall we?" I started leading the way into the room, hoping he was following behind me. I didn't want to look up at him, id just blush more. and honestly, I don't think that would be good for my health.

"so this is the room?" he asks, looking around

"yeah…is it okay? I mean, I tried to tidy up as much as I could, but…"

"It's fine, lovely actually" he gave me a shy look before continuing "could I move in tomorrow? I'll pay you whatever you want"

A grin tugged at my lips as I looked at him "Really? Tomorrow?" I, yet again, had to remind myself to act normally "I mean, yeah that's fine"

"Great" he grinned at me "I'll be back around tomorrow at about 10. 10am I mean. I'm not that weird that I turn up on peoples doorsteps at 10pm" he laughed softly

I laughed along with him, not even trying act normal anymore. "sure, that's fine" I lightly placed my hand on his back and lead him back to the front door "I'll see you then"

"Thanks Phil, you're the best"

"wait…how do you know my name?"

"It's in the Ad remember" he laughed again "you really are quite silly"

"oh…yeah" I blushed slightly as I looked at the floor then back into his eyes again "well anyway, thanks Dan. I'm sure you'll be a lovely roommate"

He gave me a small smile and did a sort of salute-wave thing "well, bye"

"bye"

Then he was gone

I leaned against the wall as I let a small giggle out

I just scored a gorgeous guy as my housemate

Life was finally looking up
