An old friend from Spain found me on social media and some months afterwards she came to visit me on the South coast of England. She was still just as lovely as I remembered her years before and in an impulsive gesture I decided to go and live in her town in Spain with the hope that our love for each other might be rekindled.
She invited me to stay for a day or two in her apartment but when she told me the first evening I was there that she needed to have her own space, I began to realise that my dream would not materialise. However she helped me to find my own place to live and within a handful of days I was making my way with my new landlord up the stairs to the shared apartment in which I would reside.
My landlord rang the doorbell on my behalf and when the door was opened I was immediately welcomed by my new flatmates. There was a young woman called Marisol and a Brazilian couple called Elena and Francisco. With my inability to speak Spanish and a similar lack of English language skills amongst my new flat mates it was with smiles and gestures and a few shared words that we managed to live harmoniously with each other and during the few short weeks that we were together we had some fun times.
The apartment had three rooms for rent, two double rooms and the small room with a single bed which I rented. As flatmates we all shared the bathroom, a small television room and the kitchen dining room. It was a lovely place to live in the very heart of the city and the apartment had been recently renovated and was very modern and clean with all the latest appliances.
Elena the Brazilian girl was working in scientific research and her husband Francisco had his own business and worked online creating educational courses. However after six weeks Elena's contract was to terminate and then they would return to Brazil.
Marisol was a very practical and homely woman about 30 years of age and attractive, curvaceous with very generous full breasts and a pretty face. Sexually I sensed that she was probably a bit of a plain Jane between the sheets. She was a lovely kind and generous flat mate and she had a devoted boyfriend who was also a very nice guy. She routinely found employment in the city.
My room was tiny with very little space but during the day I was often alone in the apartment and so was able to make use of the other shared rooms without losing privacy. My room was large enough to study in and sleep in but little else. If I needed to hang my laundry to dry there were communal clothes lines which could be accessed from two windows, one in the corridor and the other in the bathroom.
