				Glaring at the moving truck that remained stubbornly full despite repeated trips up to the second floor, Raegan signed and then tugged the hair tie failing to hold back her long auburn curls. Bending over, she quickly braided her hair and finished it off in a sloppy bun, unintentionally flashing the long length of her things as her shorts pulled tight over her rounded behind. Standing up, she took a deep breath and went back to hauling her possessions up the stairs.<br><br>She was lucky she had landed a room in these suits. Truthfully, she could never have afforded to live here on her own. The high rise was in a very nice part of town, and it had the added benefit of being close to work, but it was definitely not what her previous small studio had been. Crossing the hardwood of the entry, she headed left to where the empty room with the key had been and grinned at the sheer size of her bedroom. The best part and the part that had sold her was that she had her own on-suite. It made up for never having met her new roommates, and gave her someplace to hide if they ended up being strange, weird, or dirty. <br><br>At the end of the day, she sat dripping in sweat on the floor of her room. Her bed had been re-built, made, and pillowed just the way she liked it. Her art lay on the floor, ready to be hung in the morning. To the side of her room, she stared out the window, watching as the sun slowly set. As she took a swig from her water bottle, she debated getting up and showering and finding something to eat, but found that anything beyond the shower seemed like work.<br><br>Decision made, she pulled out her phone and set about ordering a pizza to be delivered. Her plump lower lip was caught between two rows of perfect white teeth as she contemplated whether to order extra for her roomies. Deciding against it since one of them could be on a diet, or worse vegetarian, she sent in her single order and then forced herself up from the ground.<br><br>Stretching onto her tiptoes, her measly 5'2 was stretched to her full height, displaying a lean tummy with a heart dangling from her bellybutton, and a hint of ink upon her side. Letting out a yawn, she turned and stumbled tiredly into the bathroom. She stripped off her sweaty t-shirt and denim shorts before she wiggled out of her bra and panties. Pausing to take stock of herself in the mirror, she shrugged and then headed into the water. She was curvy in all the right places and had never had too much trouble attracting attention. Well, that was if you could ignore the bright pink highlights cleverly hidden in her hair, and the ink that covered her back. Some men could be so picky about their idea of the perfect girl.<br><br>Humming softly, she stepped into the hot water and let it wash away the sweat and stress of the day. Taking her time to shave, condition her hair and even use a sugar scrub to soften her skin, she spent every moment she could enjoying the hot water and quiet of the apartment. She kept an ear open for the door, hoping she wouldn't end up answering it dripping wet with only a towel. It had happened before however, she was a fish and could not get enough of the water.

				The sky was a fire orange and illuminated the lobby of Darrens high-rise residence. The walls were all tall glass panels, so I felt like the room was on fire as he went to check for any mail. As he cycked through the generous bundle of mail, he quickly separated them between himself, his room-mate and junk. <br><br>While doing so, Darren noticed a pizza delivery man entering the building, walking right up to the buzzer panel that was right by the mailbox area. He scratched his head gently as he noticed how out of the way it was for this particular Pizzzaa shop to deliver into this part of the city. <br>“Must be for someone just moving in” he thought to himself. <br><br>He got bored after the delivery man kept on trying to buzz in, but the resident was not picking up. <br><br>Walking behind and past the delivery man, Darren took a quick glance at the touch-screen buzzpad. The number the man was trying to buzz up to was the same one for his apartment.<br>Both confused and uncomfortable, he reached for his wallet while tapping the man on the shoulder<br>“Uh hey sir. Ill grab that, youre buzzing my neighbor – hard of hearing yknow” Darren was slick and that was all a part of his charm. Grabbing the pizza and stuffing two $20 bills into the confused delivery mans hands and shuffling briskly to the elevators. His long skinny but toned legs made it look like he vanished far ahead. <br><br>Darren called his room-mate Steve while waiting in the elevator. <br><br>“Yep?” a deep voice boomed from the other line<br><br>“Steve, its Darren. I just bought a pizza from someone trying to buzz in to our apartment” Darren and Steve had been living together for a while now. Side by side, you would never understand how the pair came to be both friends and roomies. <br><br>Darren was clean-cut and dressed pretty nicely, even when he was just lounging around his big apartment. He was tall and stood around 6’2, lean and was the kind of guy to let his wine breathe before indulging.<br><br>Steve on the other hand, was maybe just half a head shorter than Steve, standing a comfortable 6’. His hair often grew out a bit and he carried around a stockier build. He often didn’t say much but could probably convince a full room to join the army from just giving everyone a look. <br>“Really? Pizza? Our part of town?” Steve had a presence and when he spoke it was either wise, a command, or a comment that could get the whole room chuckling.<br><br>“You and your damn social commentary” Darren chuckled and told Steve that he’ll investigate this strange coincidence. <br><br>“Hmm, who are you double sausage?” Darren muttered as he hung up on Steve. He was reading the receipt for the pizza.<br><br>Getting off at he 17th floor, Darren slowly unlocked the front door and crept in. Immediately noticing stuff that did not belong to either him or Steve. He could hear the muffled sound of the shower in the 3rd (not) empty bedroom onsuite. <br>

				Hearing something from the main part of the apartment, Raegan cursed under her breath and darted out of the shower. Quickly wrapping a towel around her body, she tried not to slide across the floor as she dashed out of her room and into the main living area. Stopping short, she froze as she noticed she noticed the unfamiliar man in the room.<br><br>Her mouth dropped open as her mind raced in panic and confusion. The man in front of her was huge when compared to her puny 5'2 frame. He towered over her, even at a distance. At least he was well dressed and groomed. Maybe that meant he was a nice robber? Or had she left the door open after her last trip?<br><br>"Uh...hi! Um...is that my pizza? I have the money for it around here, but uh...I'd rather you go back outside while I throw some clothes on." she managed to get out, slowly starting to back away from him.<br><br>Goosebumps broke out over her skin as she realized she was wearing nothing but a towel, dripping wet. The water from her hair was ice cold, sending shivers up her spine as each drop rolled down her back and arms. Gripping the towel around her tighter, she contemplated sprinting back to her room and locking the door. Surely one of her roommates would be home soon. Back up would be wonderful right about now.

				“I think you are mistaken, stranger with really beautiful eyes, I paid good money for this pizza. $40 tip included hunny” Darren had come home to a lot of things In his lifetime, but never a dripping wet, half naked cutie like tonight. <br><br>Taking a few steps forward, he purposely towered over the nervous girl, staring at her with his piercing blue eyes. He couldn’t help but notice how the wet towel was wrapping itself around her smooth curves and allowing some cleavage to show.<br><br>“Considering that its my floor your getting water all over, im going to stay right here while you go get dressed. Otherwise you'll both catch a cold and miss out on the pizza” never taking his eyes off her tiny body shying away from his stature, grabbing a slice and taking a big bite right in front of her. Subtly admiring her legs and curves underneath her towel. Curious about hints of tattoos she has.<br><br>Still feeling really confused, Darren kept his composure and imposed his dominance in the interaction. <br>Steve made his way home after he talked with Darren over the phone. <br><br>“Guys probably being hogtied while our apartment is being ramshackle as we speak” he thought to himself, he would be at least 45min until getting home. <br><br>

				As she watched her hot, melty, delicious slice of pizza being eaten by the man in front of her, Raegan felt her temper flare. <br><br>"That's my pizza damn it. Just because you overpaid for it, does not mean it becomes yours. You eat more than that slice and we are going to have serious issues. Besides...wait...what do you mean YOUR floor? I live here!"<br><br>At that very moment, she noticed just how much skin she was showing, and just how his eyes were taking in all of her. With a huff, she spun on her heel and marched back to HER room. Slamming the door behind her, she quickly threw on a pair of jeans, panties, a sports bra, and a tank top. Her hair was tugged into a messy bun, bright pink streaks on display before she marched back into the living room.<br><br>She paused once again at seeing the sheer size of the man before frowning and darting over to him to steal the box of pizza. Settling down onto the couch, she set the pizza on her lap and then pulled out a slice of pizza. Seeing more than one gone, she glared at the man in question before taking a huge bite out of her own slice.<br><br>"Now, what did you say about this being YOUR place?"

				Darren didn’t even try to be discrete while he was checking out this stranger who was claiming he didn’t live where he has been living for a while now. <br><br>The tiniest smirk craked across his otherwise stern face as he witness her temper and stared at her bum as she stormed off to her supposed room. <br><br>“For as squatter, you sure have a nice butt” Darren managed to comment just as he saw the door being slammed behind the toweled stranger. <br><br>Darren remained cool throughout this ordeal, he knew it would be sorted out, but was mostly waiting for Steve to come and be bnackup as well. <br><br>“Okay, lets do tht” Darren stated as the girl insisted on taking the neire pizaa for herself.<br><br>“Well, I was willing to share that, whichj says a lot on you, doesn’t it?” they both made intense eye contact for a moment before Darren grabbed a nearby trash basket and right in front of her, dropped his half eaten slice right into it without taking his eyes away from her.<br><br>Standing right in front of her as she sat with he pizza on the couch, hje leaned in real close so she could smell his cologne and opened the pizza box, grabbing another slice.<br><br>“Considering I pay a lot to apparently hang around the 17th floor of buildings and steal pizzas from unsuspecting girls.” He did like her hair in a bun like that with the pink.<br><br>“Now, you bettwe save a slice for my roomie too, oterwise I will have to show you that this is my place” FDarren said in a very stern tone, looking over her tiny sitting body.<br><br>“Who are you and how did you get in ithout anyone notcing!?”<br><br>

				Pausing for a second as she looked down at the pizza she had stolen...that he had paid for...that she had ordered...<br><br>Ending up more confused, she continued to munch as she rubbed her head and tried to stop the headache that was forming. Sighing softly, she met the man's striking blue eyes and answered his question, allowing him another slice of pizza without fuss.<br><br>"I signed a lease yesterday and moved my stuff in today. Would have been nice to have some help, but I managed it. The security was nice enough to help open the doors at least." she mumbled. "So...it was with someone noticing. And you? How did you get in here without someone making a fuss?"<br><br>She took her time to look around the apartment as she tried to make sense of his words. As she did, she noticed the decidedly masculine decor and wondered belatedly if she had somehow managed to make the giant mistake of moving in with two men, instead of two women as she had earlier assumed.

				Before sying anythig else, Darren leans in and steal a bite from the girls slice in her hand. Just to mess wih her even more.<br><br>"Well, I got no notice of anyone moving in. " He could feel his recense was intiidaing for the stranger, he decided to show just a tiny bit of compassion<br><br>"You look uncomfortable, I thought this was home for you? Do you have&nbsp; headache?" without warning, he places the back of his big hand against her forehead<br><br>"we had a moving crew move us in. You did it entirely on your own?" Darren wandered away briefly and retuend with a tall class of water and a tylenol.<br><br>"Here, my roomie will be home any minute" and righ on queue, Steve is unlocking the front door<br><br>Steve walked in and it felt like silence filled the room. He was staring at the girl on the coouch from across the room. His long hair was wavey and bounced as he walked majesticly to where Steve was standing.<br><br>"This is.... uh... well she has a cute smile" sauddenly both guys just stood in front of the girl, staring at her as she had her pizza<br>Steve still said nothing, but juist stood there, his black shirt outlining his fit physique.<br><br>"Well hun, you cant be mad at us for not helping. We didnt even know you existed until you marched your towel covered body in and stole my pizza like 45min ago!" <br><br>"You weant the grand tour or soemthing? We dont even know your name"<br><br>Both handsome yioung men, standing in front of their new roomate

				Raegan blinked when first the jerk stole a bite from her slice, and then a moment later was feeling her forehead and handing her water and painkillers. Shrugging, she threw back the pills and swallowed them.<br><br>"Uh yea, I did it on my own. The only really crappy part was the stairs...and my bed. The rest wasn't too bad." she mumbled before freezing again. "Roommate? Male?"<br><br>Her head shot up as she heard the door open and her eyes drank in the second man to burst into the apartment. Looking back and forth between the two of them, she cocked her head to the side.<br><br>"So...no one told you that you were getting another roommate? I uh...thought you guys had put up the ad. Um...the grand tour would be great, and uh I'm Raegan. Who are you both?"

				"Trust me, I would have enjoyed a heads up too - you say male with such... concern. Let us show you that theres nothing to worry about here. My name is Darren and my room is in the middle of steve and I guesss yours."&nbsp; Darrens tone changed slightly as Raegan was not putting up with his bs<br><br>"Nice to meet you Raegan" Darren made direct eye contact as they chatted.<br><br>"Im Steve, this is definitely a really weird mix up. Who were you supposed to be moving in with, Raegan" he stuckhis hand out for Raegan to help stand up with. <br><br>"You ready for the grand tour? We'll make it worth your while to stay with us" Darren smiled and offered his hand as well.

				Nodding hello to the two of them, she gave them a tight smile.<br><br>"Just never had male roommates. When I responded to the ad, I had assumed it was an all-female suite of rooms. I mean, you seem like nice guys, but who knows?"<br><br>Shrugging, she carefully put the pizza on the coffee table, wondering if she could tour AND eat. She had been moving boxes all day after all. To be polite, she resisted her urge and left the pizza alone with one last longing look. It was not her fault that she loved food.<br><br>Standing she looked at them pointedly. "Well, lead on."

				"Yes, the grand tour madam" the guys both stood straight on either side of their new lady friend.<br><br>"Wow, there was an ad and everything" Steve still baffled about this situation. He just stared at Raegan momentarily "hey, you can eat and tour eh?" Making eyes at the pizza to Raegan<br><br>&nbsp;"We're more fun than anything. Noone really likes a nice guy" Darren winked as he lead in the apartment tour. The windows were all so huge and they had such an amazing view from. The 17th floor. <br><br>The guys brought Raegan out to their balcony first. <br><br>"What do you think? Here come stand in the middle here" Darren gently pulled Raegan over to the balcony railing and was right up behind her, pointeling out different key monuments in their landscape view

				Jumping up in joy, she dove for a piece of pizza and took a huge bite, nearly moaning in happiness. Moving back to her spot between them, she followed them to the balcony and grinned. Resting her hip lightly against the balcony, she took in the view and let the guys point out some interesting landmarks.<br><br>Humming in content, she finished off her piece of pizza and then sucked the grease off her fingertips. <br><br>"Nice place you have here. I was ecstatic when I saw the ad, I couldn't figure out why no one had taken it before I did, but the view alone is worth it."

				"Honestly though, Steve and I are a bit confused on how that was a listing to begin with. We were told that this was just an extra room for us to use for whatever, never anything about surprise roommates. But no complaints here, we're glad you came" <br><br>The 3 of them just on the balcony, huddled closely at one spot, admiring the view for a bit. Steve and Darren both leaning over to tell or whisper stuff about the balcony, the viewm whatever. Both guys starting to show her a bunch of attention<br><br>"And its your place now too. We like to share alot, so we encourage you to feel free too, Raegan" Steve smiled "Maybe youll appreciate this but you can always get away with hanging out in your underwear out here."<br><br>"Butt naked even" Darren chimed in with a goofy smirk. He took one last look before guiding everyone back inside, letting Raegan step in first. <br><br>"Now the bedrooms!"

				Chuckling at their obnoxious way of suggesting that she could hang around in either almost nothing or with completely nothing. Boys will be boys, no matter the age or location. Although, with a slow glance over both their bodies, she had to wonder about what was hiding under their clothes. <br><br>As they headed inside, she grew slightly concerned as their words about not having advertised for the room finally registered.<br><br>"Are you sure its ok for me to be here? I mean, the room was empty when I showed up...if you were using it for something then I can find somewhere else to go," she said, exceedingly concerned. Not that she really knew where she could go, her last apartment was already rented and it is not like she could afford anything close to her job.<br><br>Following them indoors, she paused and snagged another piece of pizza. "And uh...do I need to see your rooms? I mean, aren't they just like mine? And what exactly do you share? Underwear? Clothes? Sheets?" With each thing she listed, she had to wonder just what they meant about being free and sharing space.

				"you joke about the naked porch and hell, you would be spectacular sporting that naked u iform.just saying" Darren was being super up front this time around.<br><br>"well, you might as well stay. All your stuffs and up here already. Besides, where else would you go?" Both guys just give her a Stern look.<br><br>"I mean like sure, they're based off the same idea of a room, but they're part of the tour!" It was a weird kind of house tour.<br><br>"Oh. Straigt to the point, we mostly share girls togeher," Steve blurted out, maybe a silence that was expecting a "just kidding!" To follow up, never occurred.

				Pouting at the stern look thrown her way, she threw her hands up in the air as a sign of peace and that she would stay. "I'll stay, promise," she muttered, "At least until you are sick of me."<br><br>To break the tension, she was going to make a joke, only to flush bright red when Steve blurted out that they share women. Waiting for him to start laughing, she looked between him and Darren, only to see neither one of them denying it.<br><br>Eyes dancing between the two of them, she swallowed and tried to figure out what to say next. If they really did share women, then did that make their flirtatious words more than just poking fun? Suddenly finding the floor interesting, she squirmed as her mind started playing a dirty film of her being in the center between their bodies. Her skin broke out in goosebumps before she snapped out of it, and rubbed her arms.<br><br>Coughing lightly, she licked her lips. "Uh...guess that means you guys know each other pretty well then."

				"get sick of you? You've been here like half a day already and make this place home" Darren said to reassure that she was wanted here.<br><br>"Yeah, we know each other very well - oh, are you oka? You got red and all covered in goosebumps all of s sudden" Steve without warning/thinking, wrapping his big arms around Raegan to try and warm her up.<br><br>"It's alot at once, we know. Where did we lose you? Darren sat Raehan down on a chair for her to collect hereelf.<br><br>"It was the girl sharing wasn't it? Some people think it's wrong or bizarre but we find ourselves in a new level when we both worship and appreciate her physical and spiritual essence" both Steve and Darren went on to talking about it in more detail to Raegan

				Blinking as she was suddenly wrapped in a warm set of arms and then sat in a chair, she stared dumbly at them for a moment. Settling into the chair she thought more about what they were saying.<br><br>"Well...it is not something I had really....well that's a lie. I have always been curious about that kind of relationship. Uh...have you shared many times or women? Uh...can I ask that?"<br><br>Blushing again, she dropped her head into her hands, wondering if she should go hide in her room or run away in order to avoid making a bigger fool out of herself. She let out a soft whine, wondering just when she could disappear and if they could just forget this conversation ever happened.<br><br>"Sorry. Uh...just forget I asked. I think I will pass on the whole room tour. I mean, if you even have separate rooms." She mumbled before groaning and slapping a hand over her mouth. Apparently, she could not stop her inappropriate comments no matter how hard she tried.
