Juliet meets me in the hallway

After walking out my door, I could already feel the cold advancing into the apartment. It must have been around 65 degrees, but I knew it would just continue to drop. I suppose that the carpet in my room was mildly insulating, but the hardwood floor in the hallway and living room would continuously leech heat.

In the hallway already was Juliet, my pre-med Korean roommate. She seemed to win the genetic lottery in every way; she was gorgeous, tall, had silky black hair, and had nice full breasts, that were only slightly smaller than mine. Did I mention she was a genius? She was on the fast track to medical school, and I had no doubt that she would go wherever she pleased after college. She's just that good.

She also has a boyfriend, Mike who is a nice guy. And that pretty much summarizes my interaction with him. I mean, he's cute, but also seems pretty dull in every other regard. He's also noticeably absent today, which means he was probably at work or his place.

"Hey Juliet," I called out to her.

She turned and smiled, "Oh good, Christy, you're here too." She had put on fluffy pajama pants and was wearing a Northface jacket over her t shirt. Her arms were crossed over her chest to preserve heat, but I was pretty sure she wasn't wearing a bra. Juliet continued. "I was really scared I was alone."

"Yeah, me too," I told her. "Is Monica here too?"

Juliet made a strange face I couldn't quite read. "Well...." she began to say before trailing off.
