There are two types of people in this world. One's who let you live with them as a favour and others so that they could control your life. Richard was a mixture of both...his neighbour Jason on the other hand...let's just say he had other intentions.
Chapter 1: Old Friends and new ones
"Oh friend I am sad to see you leave, I do hope it wasn't because of Silky…" I winced as looked my Best female friend Kori in the eyes. We had met in freshman year at JCU and have shared a home ever since, in our last month we had let Garfield's girlfriend move in with us…and let's just say I couldn't handle her dirt and lies anymore…
I looked at her large green irises, they were usually filled with joy but not today. "Dick lives hell of allot closer to the studio than you do Kor, and I couldn't live with Jen because she basically lives with Vic and Gar…" I said as she played with her long red hair. Kori was the world's most beautiful being, she had the body of a run way model with incredibly orange tanned skin. Honestly I was the size of a glue stick in comparison to her…
"Mmm…Well please be safe and know I am usually here…"She meandered. I let her squeeze my insides out in a hug as she tried not to cry," Let me do the carrying of your boxes to Richards's car at least…"She finished as I looked to the seven medium and large boxes. I nodded as I took three of the smaller ones,
"You've got those right?" I asked her, she giggled due to the fact we both knew how strong she was. "Thank you Kor…"I said opening the door to the building we formerly shared, she had helped me to push them all into the elevator and back out into the hall way…
I held the door open and Let Kori go first with her set of boxes, whilst I gently pushed the others out on to the stair way. Sitting outside in his red Range Rover was Dick, he was ready to help us load the boxes. I had stared to move my books and furniture out a few days ago, but now this way everything.
"Kori…" Dick said looking up into the eyes of his taller ex-girlfriend. She gave him an awkward smile before nodding at him, he opened the trunk and helped her move a box in before coming to help me. Dressed in a dark blue suit with a white under shirt and brown shoes. "Hey Rae, you ready to go?" He asked me as he took two of my boxes. Dick was about 6'ft and Kori a good 6'ft"3…which in comparison to my 5'ft"7 was massive.
"Yep…"I said pulling my set of keys out of my jean pocket, as I was about to pull the pink and purple key Kori gave me off of the chain she gasped,
"NO! You have to keep it friend Rachel, it will always be your home…and you will always be welcomed here! So keep it…"Kori screamed at me before giving me another hug. "I shall see you soon, yes?"
"Yes…"I said as Richard took the box away from me and put it in the trunk. Kori continued to crush my bones as he finished up, I watched Dick mumble something as I Kori said her last words to me,
She crouched down till she was at my ear, "Watch out for Richard my friend, he is…the controlling…"
I raised an eye brow before she pushed me towards the car. I smiled at her as I continued to wonder over the large red vehicle. She waved before heading back inside in her Pink onesie. I got into the car as Dick started the ignition.
"So the penthouse is a little smaller than it originally was. There was some construction whilst I was gone on that business trip for Bruce, they split it into two separate places. So the elevator goes up and then you step out into a hall way…" He said awkwardly as we started the twenty minute drive through Jump City,
"Anyway, try to make as much noise as possible. My…our neighbour is an ass who can't do anything but fuck women and outbid me on potential clients and what not…"He laughed as he sped down the streets.
20 minutes later…
I ran a hand through my lilac hair as I looked at my reflection in the glass building, my black roots were growing through and that wasn't fun. "Is there a cart or something for the boxes?" I asked Richard who had decided to unpack all the boxes on his own like a real man…
"Yeah, I'll go see if I can get help…"He said jogging into the building. Those who didn't know us used to think we were related, we both had black hair and olive skin…though I avoid the sunlight these days…he does too but that's for a different reason.
My eyes were a dark blue with purple and gold flecks towards the middle, whilst his eyes were pure crystal. I was short and pretty curvy for a dancer, where as he was tall and lanky. We both shared long lashes and pink lips…and that's pretty much it to be honest…
I pulled up my high rise black jeans and fixed my long sleeve blue crop top Kori had gotten me for the summer. I paired them with a pair of white converse, I wasn't one for fashion but I didn't want to look like trash coming into this place…
I leant against one of the large boxes as I got about forty messages from Kori. I kinda just ignored those and scrolled through my Tumblr page…
"Are you moving in here?" I looked up from my phone as I jumped slightly, I was surprised by a tall man standing in front of me panting. A similar height to Dick with beautifully tanned skin and light green eyes. His long brown hair was in a bun, showing off the white streak in the front and his extremely toned shoulder/collar bone area. He was pretty built which made me uncomfortable as he was shirtless and rather sweaty…
"Pardon?" I asked trying not to show any emotion…he blinked at me before smiling,
"Are you moving in?" He repeated, I nodded. "I'm Jason, I'm the hot dude who lives on the penthouse floor…"
"Oh!"I said awkwardly," Your Richard's neighbour…I'm Raven, I'm his roommate…"I continued awkwardly as he stuck his hand out. I shook it in return as he finished,
"That sucks, well…for you. I got to meet the pretty girl who should hopefully make living next door to Chuckles a more of a party…let me help you…"He said as I felt a small blush appear on my face. He picked up two of the larger boxes with a smile as Richard came back out with a man to help us move the boxes,
"Dick…"I said awkwardly, "I met your neighbour…"I finished as the two had a stare down.
"We got this…"Richard said with a smile to Jason who secured his grip on the boxes, "Right Rae?"
I coughed slightly as I looked up at Jason, "We don't…Sir would you mind grabbing these two? "I asked a red headed man who was mostly likely a manager at the high rise place. He nodded as Jason said,
"I guess we'll be seeing allot more of each other Grayson…"
"Hopefully not, Xavier."
End of Chapter 1! I hope you like it,the next chapter will be longer...
