Matt was worriedly going over the answers to his ad while chewing on a pen. Money was tight and his job was not enough to keep paying rent for the cozy 2 bedroom apartment. It was a great one, with new furniture and amazing bedrooms, each with a walk-in closet and bathroom. He mainly used the other one for storage but the need for money had him cleaning it up and getting an ad online for a roommate.
Matt was tall, at around 6 feet, with a nice shaved face and short brown hair. He cleaned up nice in his slacks and black t-shirt and was a good conversationalist, but he wasn't really a people's person. He liked his space quiet and a roommate never fit his plans. Alas, beggars can't be choosers, and he had been looking over the answers for a while when the doorbell rang.
He opened the door surprised to see a cute girl dressed all in black. She was wearing a loose crop top that hung over modest breasts and a short skirt over ripped fishnets. Tattoos adorned her pale skin and her face was done with sharp makeup. Long red hair framed one side of her face while black cascaded over her other shoulder.Her red lips smiled at him and she leaned forward.
"Hello, are you Matt? The one with the ad?"
Matt suddenly smelled some flowery scent, subtle yet powerful coming from the girl. "Uh, eh, yeah, that's me." He stumbled over his words as he felt his mind begin to get foggy.
"Wonderful!" She said clapping her hands. "Thank you so much for accepting my application, Im Hex." She extended her hand to him while he frowned slightly. She wasn't exactly the kind of roommate he was looking for, and wasn't it weird he didn't remember the name from the application?
But as she grasped his hand and got closer that lovely scent tickled his nose again and he relaxed. Well, if she said he accepted it must be true, no? "Do you need help with your things?"
The goth girl shaked her head and pointed at a small briefcase next to the door. "I have everything I need for now, I just moved here so I will need to go shopping later."
"Yeah, that makes sense" Matt said as she moved in, heeled boots clicking against the floor and closed the door.
He showed her the room and where the kitchen was, how to work the dishwasher that needed you to press the door just right to close and all other stuff around the apartment. All while smelling the flowery scent and chatting with Hex.
She was wonderful, he discovered. Bubbly and smart, with a nice sense of humor. She listened and nodded with a slight smirk and thanked him. "Im going to unpack before it gets too late. I will see you around cutie."
She patted Matt's head and he blushed, not expecting it. He had never been called cute, but... his foggy mind found that if Hex said it, it must be true, he was a cutie!
Matt smiled and chirped "see you around!"
