Jane was 20 and it was time to take a new direction in life, she had been a book worm thru her school years not really developing a network of friends, keeping her hair short like a boys and wearing jeans and a shirt most of the time even having glasses, that gave her a more nerdy look (even though she had perfect 20/20 vision). She hadn't really got into sports although she loved to swim at 5'6" she found she wasn't competitive against the taller girls.
At 17 her mother was killed in an accident leaving her alone, as she had never met her father and she some how muddled thru to finish high school with good grades. With Uni costing to much to do, she went as a waitress at the local bar from 18 so she could cover expenses. Now her luck seemed to have turned getting a win in the local lottery, not enough to do nothing for the rest of her life but sufficient to allow her to take a break from working for maybe a year or two.
She had found a new place to live with in walking distance from a nice beach, the place was only a two bedroom place but the back yard was private and had a nice 6 person spa. Having moved in a couple of days ago she was now looking for a house mate to rent the spare room too. The site she had advertised on had scored quite a few hits probably the low price made it more attractive, so being a lovely warm spring day wearing just her old cut-offs she took her laptop out back and sat on the lounger to grab some rays while going thru the replies.
Soon she had reduced the list down to four that seemed interesting that she would have a face to face meeting with.
She arranged to meet at the cafe by the beach, the first guy seemed a looser and didn't match up to the reply he had sent. Allen was quite hot but as a struggling student she wondered if he could even make the rent. Alice was another student with the goth look and piercings which intrigued Jane having never been in that scene. Hanna was the last one she was to meet but as she was working it wouldn't be til the lunch time of the next day.
Being a nice warm day and not due to meet Hanna til noon, Jane put on her one piece swimsuit and shorts and headed to the beach, slipping off her shorts and dropping it with her bag by the bushes at the eastern end she headed for the water. It was cold but she still waded in to waist deep before diving under and swimming about 100m out and turned and starting swimming the length of the bay on the return leg the current forced her to swim harder which made her notice the cold of the water less. After managing about 8 lengths she headed in to shore going up on the grass area to sit and let the sun dry her.
At ten to 12 she pulled her shorts on and headed across to the cafe grabbing one of the outside tables to await Hanna's arrival, a couple of minutes later she noticed an old hotted up Mazda pull into one of the parks, the girl getting out had an air of confidence about her with a tight tank top on and sweat pants and sneakers this had to be Hanna. As she entered the cafe she took a quick look around then headed to where Jane sat.
"Hi I'm Hanna are you Jane?"
"Yes sit and join me."
The waitress came out for their orders, Jane got a black coffee and caesar salad while Hanna ordered a flat white and chicken salad. As Hanna looked Jane over she liked what she saw.
"Hope you don't mind that I'm still a bit sweaty but was running late with my work out at the gym, so didn't have time to shower." "Anyway if we are to be house mates, there will be times went we won't be at our best." Said Hanna.
"That's fine I'm only sun dried after swimming earlier." replied Jane.
As they ate lunch, they got to know a few things about each other and Jane sort Hanna would be ideal as a house mate.
Jane said. "Are you ready to come see the house, it's only a block up."
"Indeed let me pay for lunch as I can claim it as an expense." replied Hanna.
They entered the house and Jane show Hanna around, then they wandered out to the backyard and sat on the loungers.
Hanna said. "Love this backyard will be great on sunny days to lie out here and work on the all over tan. The shower in the bathroom is nice with twin heads and room for more than one, hope nudity doesn't offend you as I'm happy shedding my clothes."
"I had never really thought about it or done it, although I did sit out here topless the other day. So I'm more than happy to have you as my house mate when do you want to move in?" replied Jane.
"Friday morning good for you." said Hanna
