Her face tinted red from running around frantically the last few minutes, she peeked a last time in the mirror to make sure she didn’t look a complete idiot, and then speed walked to the door, yelling out to make sure her visitor didn’t disappear before she got there.<br/><br/>“Comiiiing!”<br/><br/>Curious, Jasmine went to her toes and put one eye to the peephole. Her hands resting against the solid door, she took a second to get a glimpse of, hopefully, her coming flatmate. Thought the image of her was distorted from the tiny round window, Sarah looked very pretty. Tall and slim, her reddish brown hair suited her skin tone perfectly, leading Jaz to believe it was her natural color. Her glasses gave the woman an easy going feel and Jasmine felt her hopes raise already.<br/><br/>With a jerk, she twisted the deadbolt and opened up the door looking up and sticking her hand out to greet Sarah right away.<br/><br/>“Hi Sarah! I’m Jasmine, or Jaz works to…” she laughed a little and stepped back to let the woman enter. Sarah was a little taller than Jasmine it seemed, but of a slimmer build and Jaz was amazed how easily she was dragging the huge trolley behind her.<br/><br/>“Come in come in!” smiling and guiding her inside “You can just leave that at the door for now if you want. I was just gonna see what I can find in the fridge to drink if you want to have a quick look around?”<br/><br/>Walking with Sarah into the living room, Jasmine did a fast little point and inform, looking a little like some airline stewardess.<br/><br/>“So...this is the living room, I’ve got most of the basics, but there’s room for a desk and some other chairs or whatever you might like to add. I fell in love with the high ceilings and openness of it the first time I walked in. The area is so big, I guess you are suppose to put a dining table in somewhere, but there is a small breakfast nook in the kitchen I put a little table at instead, but if you wanted a dining area we can always set something up. As you can see, the kitchen is open, just the half wall separating it from the rest of the room. All the appliances are included with the rental which I thought was great, if something breaks down you call maintenance and they come fix it right away.”<br/><br/>Pointing down across the room, she nodded towards the closed door. “The bathroom is over there, huge tub, separate shower and tons of cabinet space! Just a heads up, I ran from the tub to the door when you arrived, and it’s a little messy, not dirty mind..but totally messy,” blushing a little she quickly moved on. “There is a little add on room off the side of the bathroom with a washer and drier...back the way we came, down the hall are the two bedrooms. I took the one farthest back...it was the biggest one but the second room isn’t that much smaller.”<br/><br/>Taking a breath, Jas smiled and covered her mouth with her hand as if trying to stop the barrage of words from spilling out. “Ok...and already I’m talking your ear off. I’m gonna find us some soda’s and let you walk around at your own pace..then maybe we can sit and ask each other any questions we might have.”
