The Roomate [MF] 1

Dave watched as fiery red flames engulfed his flat and smoke escaped through his open windows making its way out. Even at a distance he would feel the heat as he wiped of the sweat from his face. The firemen contained the fire before it spread to the neighbouring flats. A short circuit caused the fire, they said. Thankfully there was no one got hurt. Dave was on his way home when he saw the smoke rise up in the air from a distance, atleast a blocks away. And now all he was left with were his gym clothes and his laptop. It wasn’t an ideal male living space but nonetheless, he had lost most of his valuables. His eyes swelled with tears as he thought about how much this will set him back financially.

He needed to find a new place to stay for atleast a few days. He called up his girlfriend, Sarah who stayed with a flatmate Andrea, close to the city university. He quickly briefed her of his situation and a few moments later he was on his way to her place.

His life changed in a day. He had no idea what was about to happen in the coming few weeks.

The beginning of an office romance[MF]

True story with added bits for that drama edge ;)

It was my first day on the job working for a well known internet company. Megan was a colleague who worked in the same team. We instantly hit it off after we discovered that we had shared interests in music, anime and tv shows. She had a long term boyfriend in the same company and I figured that I was in the deep end of the friend zone.

That’s what I thought!

Megan always found a way to sit next to my desk and she chatted non stop about anything. I indulged in the conversation but I always kept at a safe distance. Didn’t want to catch feelings for a colleague with a long term boyfriend.

All of that changed when our colleagues made an impromptu plan to go party on a Friday night.

The place that we decide to go to was close to Megan’s apartment so she wanted to go home and change. She invited me over for some pre-drinks.
