There was a lot to find endearing about your roommate.
From the wonky clothes he’d wear, to his awkward and shy demeanor, he was quite the interesting individual.
And after eight months of sharing a house, the two of you grew absurdly close.
Part of the reason why the two of you worked so well together was because of just how different the two of you were.
Lesley was practically the sun in human form. Innocent. Pure. Shy.
You were so far from that… you were blunt. Outspoken. Spoke your mind.
It was that very separation that had Lesley so drawn to you.
The fact that so much differentiated between the two of you, while you also had so much in common.
Lesley worked in architecture. You do photography. Every once in a while, you do promo shots for his projects.
The two of you were currently on a business trip. Key West, Florida.
You weren’t even fully sure what possessed you to do it.
One moment, you were standing on the beach with Lesley, taking photographs of the sunset and laughing about this and that.
Next thing you knew, you were kissing him. And the shocking part was that he was kissing you back.
