Natalie and Winter speak

***

Natalie opened up the door to her dorm room, her still recently new home.

“So you made it back alright?” her roommates voice was heard as she closed the door behind her. Winter was sitting at her desk, looking into a small stand-up mirror as she wiped off her make-up with a wet wipe.

Natalie put down her books and paper on her bed, “Sure did,” she said, sitting down and removing her shoes, “Actually had some help from a really sweet boy on the quickest way getting back here.”

“Oh that’s nice,” Winter said, completely unaware that her new roommate was describing Mark, her former lover.

“Yeah we actually have so much in common, I’m sure you would get along great with him too,” Natalie told her while slipping out of her pants.

Winter finished up with her make-up removal, she spun around in her chair to face Natalie, “That’s cool, so who was it that you met?”

Natalie paused, mouth open slightly. “Oh shit,” she said, now realising something, Natalie had never got his name. After all of that, she couldn’t believe that she never asked him what his name was. “I never found out his name,” she told her.

Winter started to giggle, “I can’t believe that, how does that happen?”

While slipping herself into bed, Natalie responded, “I really don’t know, guess I just got caught deep into the conversation that I forgot to ask. Makes it a bit harder to find him again.”

Winter dressed in her black nightgown, switched off the main bedroom light before jumping into her bed. “Well whoever this boy is, make sure you tell me who he is once you know. Sounds like a good egg.”

“Of course. Good night Winter.”

“Good Night Natalie.”
