BPOV
I love Thursdays. It's a nice break during the week from classes. I'm going to nursing school here in Seattle. I'm in the second and final year of a two-year course and then I have a job already lined up at University Medical Center here in Seattle.
I live in a nice affordable apartment here in Seattle with my roommates. I met Alice and Rosalie after answering a wanted ad for a roommate last year. I'm originally from Phoenix. Alice and Rosalie are both from Washington. Alice is going to the University of Seattle for marketing and Rosalie goes there for social work. We have become the best of friends, even though we are all different personality-wise. Alice is hyper and always doing something. Rosalie seems like a bitch until you get on her good side.
Our apartment is fairly close to the university and not too far from my nursing school.
We usually make a point to do something together on Thursdays since we all have that day off during the week.
I'm just returning from a late morning run and walk into the apartment and see Alice and Rosalie in the kitchen making some lunch.
"What's up girls?" I said.
Alice sees me first.
"Oh Bella... You missed it this morning." Alice says.
"Missed what?" I replied.
"The garbage men. We had new guys this week and they are nice on the eyes!" Alice says.
We have garbage pickup on Thursdays. We have bins out back so we can toss our garbage at any time.
Apparently, Rosalie was coming back from the bank this morning and saw the garbage men down the street. One of them must have caught her eye, as Alice said Rosalie grabbed a garbage bag, ran in her room, came out thirty seconds later with a half-full garbage bag, and then flew out the door to catch the truck before it left.
"What did they look like?" I asked.
"He was a big teddy bear." Rosalie replied.
Rosalie has always gravitated towards bigger men. She's tall, blonde, and gorgeous. She likes men that make her feel not so tall.
"What about the others?" I asked.
"There were only two guys. The other one was a skinny looking nerd, but Alice seemed quite taken by him." Rosalie said.
"I was not... and he wasn't a nerd... he was cute." Alice said defensively.
"So only two, huh?" I replied.
I don't know why but I felt kind of disappointed. My love life has been pretty grim... a few dates here and there but nothing that leads to any chemistry.
"Did you talk to them?" I asked them.
"Just a little bit. Alice followed me outside but stood there like a deer in headlights. I told my monkey man that I had just cleaned my bedroom and had a bag to throw out." Rosalie said with a huge grin on her face.
"Monkey man?" I asked.
Rosalie just smiled.
"Tell Bella what you put in the bag." Alice said.
"I didn't have much time so I just threw away some clutter I had laying around my room." Rosalie replied, and then her and Alice burst out laughing.
"Oh my god! What did you do?" I asked.
That made them laugh even harder.
