You are the only one for me

“It’s so quiet….”

Gaby was sitting on the bench outside the university apartment she would attend. There were a lot of plants around and a tree across the fence. But its branches and shade were in the apartment where she stayed.

It’s Sunday. Her father brought her to school early. She didn’t even know how much time she’d spent on the bench reading a book. She checked her watch. ‘It’s a quarter past 6.’ - in her mind. It turns out dinner was on the way, and she still had no one in the apartment.

A few minutes later, she heard a noise from inside the apartment, so she thought about going in and finding out if her roommates were already there.

As Gaby approached the main door, she heard cheerful voices from within. She was a little nervous because this was her first time with other people in the same house. She reads in the book that most roommates don’t get along because of their unique characters and attitudes.

Gaby took a deep breath and slowly opened the door, and they became silent when she saw them. She just walked in and locked the door. But the three women there were still staring at her in silence.

“Hello!” she said with shyness.

“Oh my God!” exclaimed the three women inside. Their sudden scream startled her. Gaby held up her chest.

A beautiful woman approached her, wearing a pair of shorts and a white T-shirt, a haircut that matched the shape of her beautiful face. She guessed that her height was 5’6”. She grasped her arm and approached the other two women who were there.

“Hello, are you our new housemate?” the lady asked as she pulled her.

“Yeah! I’m Gabrielle Shin Johnson.” Gaby says. “But I prefer Gaby for short.”

“I’m Sasha De Leon,” the girl says. “This is Arabella Anderson, but we refer to her as Belle and Ashlee Alonzo.”

“Hello!” Gaby smiled and greeted the two.

Both women looked at her as if examining her face. They stare at her from neck to breast, waist, and feet. It made her feel awkward. Her name is Belle. A long curly hair of ash brown color, high bridge nose like Sasha, thin lips, big breasts, and prominent hips shaped like a pear. And she has long legs. Gaby thinks the woman is five feet eight inches tall, as tall as she is. And she has a sexy curve.

“You are so beautiful!” They cheered while staring at her.

“Yeah, you have no pores, your lashes. Is that real? And your dimples, oh my gosh!“ said Ashlee.

Ashlee sits right beside Belle. Her hair is short and wavy, and her beauty does not make her the least of her two friends. She is Morena and tall like Sasha. Her body is almost perfect as a Barbie doll. Gaby was jealous of her body. Her cousin has this perfectly shaped body, so she always competes in the beauty contest, while Gaby loves sports, stunts, and daredevil sports more.

“Gosh, Gaby! You have such beauty! “Ashlee complimented her.

She giggled at her. “You girls are beautiful as well. I like your body shape, Ashlee. You have a perfect shape.“ said Gaby. She’s not lying; Ashlee is a head-turner.

“But you’re perfectly fashioned, you know. Is my skin color appeals to you? The typical skin tone of the Filipino woman. My body is not as pretty as your body.“ Ashlee said.

“You’re still a beauty, Ashlee. Your skin color is flawless and fits you perfectly. Did you try to take part in a beauty contest?“ Gaby said.

“Yeah, when I was in junior high, well, I won,” Ashlee said with a smile.

“When did you come, Gaby?” asked Belle.

“A while ago,” she said.

“What course are you taking?” Sasha asked.

“BS in Civil Engineering, year three,” said Gaby.

“BS Tourism year three,” said Belle.

“BS Business Administration, year three as well!” says Sasha.

“BS in Political Science,” says Ashlee. “Year three too!”

All three women screamed again, and she was nearly deaf. However, she couldn’t remove the smile from her lips. Her roommate seems fine. She was afraid she would have trouble getting along with her roommates, but she was wrong. She truly believes that they will become her best friends.

“So what? Are you a supermodel, actress, or beauty queen?“ Ashlee asked.

Gaby shook her head. “No. I wish to be one of them, but unfortunately, it is impossible.“ Gaby said, laughing.

“Why impossible? You qualify for it.“ Belle said.

Gaby chuckled. “Because it’s hard for me to be like them!”

“You’re one of the boy’s types of girl, I guess.“ said Belle.

“That’s what makes you so sexy!” says Sasha.

Gaby just smiled a little. “You also look sexy, Sasha. Jeez, I’m so lucky to have such gorgeous roommates!”
