The day has come! June 25th, 2007. “Kkkkkkkkayla, are you ready for this shit bitch!?!?!?” I text to the girl who is no longer my best friend but now roomie. My mom backs the uhal into my new driveway, that’s right MY! Just turned 21 two days ago. “Happy birthday to me!” I think to myself. We start to unload the boxes and little bit of furniture I had from my mom’s. Up in my master bedroom with two doors, walk in closet, walk in bathroom, and skylights I hear yelling, not horrible screeching yelling, but that excited I am an adult yell. “Captain is that you?!?!” “Chchchyeahhhh!!!!” Kayla responds damn near right behind me by this point. Beautiful just stunningly beautiful this one is! Long jet black hair, brown eyes, olive skin, beautiful big smile with a gap inbetween her two front teeth. (probably my favorite feature on her as odd as that may seem, but I personally think it fits her.)
We met a few years back I working as an environmental service aid, her as a food service aid at unity hospital. We’d walk by eachother numerous times, road the elevator together I couldn’t tell you how many times and all we would do is smile at eachother. We were both shy no doubt about that but neither of us could have expected what our personalities would have become once we became friends. One day I was cleaning the nurses station when she walked in, damn near cornered me!I was way in the back of this dim lit long but tight room, she walked to the fridge a meir 3feet from me puts her jello for a patient in the fridge, looks at me and says “Hi I’m Kayla, we always smile at eachother so figured I’d say hi!” A few days passed and before I knew it I was driving with her and her other friend Toni out in Brockport to some dudes house. Bored out of my fucking mind I sit on this dudes couch thinking to myself “How the hell did I end up here?” The weed has now set in, I look over at Kayla, a cushion in between us and she let’s out a cute giggle. Toni hanging out with her friend while Kayla and I giggle like two little school girls together. I can see jealousy in this one. She keeps glaring at me everytime Kayla and laugh, oh well her fucking problem I say to myself and continue to converse with my new friend.
Weeks turned into months, which turned into years, which turned into today! This girl is my best friend, my strength when I am weak, my lighter to my blunt, my cap to my tain. I’m so excited not only to have my own house but I couldn’t have picked any better of a roommate!
“Let’s get this shit done and party the night away in our new house!” I tell her no painting needed just organizing, and setting up furniture. It didn’t take long before we were finished and felt as settled as we could with what little we had.
The house was super nice. A condo in a suburban neighborhood on the western side of Greece. A track filled with people who smelled of moth balls. Two floors, basement, garage, and 1 and a 1/2 baths, Cathedral ceilings in the living room and master bedroom. Just flipped by a realtor, it looked super nice, but we’re young and broke. Who cares this is home to us we can make it into whatever we want!
The hours passed and we’re as good as we can be for one day, Nick and Trey come to chill, smoke, drink, and check out the new place. Blunts have been rolled and passed, bottles of liquor have been cracked, by the time 10:00pm struck. Noise ordinance in greece is 10:00pm, we don’t care nor do we realize what fucking time it is, we’re lit! Someone found a porn, not too sure where the porn came from, the boys could have brought it or Kayla or i very well could have had it in our stashes from our many many trips with Steph to the porn shop on Mount read. Never mind none of that is important, what’s important is what was done with that porn. I currently have 3 underaged people in my house, the smell of weed pouring out the windows like method man and Redman in a scene from How High, someone gets the genius idea to take a bottle of liquor place it in front of the front door and prop the porn DVD against it. Little did we know that not long after that was done would a cop be knocking at our door.
BAM BAM BAM “It’s the police, open up!” Omg omg omg, what do we do!?!?! I think to myself, fuck it, I grab the gold knob and open it up. “Hi officer what can I help you with tonight?” I said to this tall skinny brunette officer. “We got a complaint about this house having too much noise at such a late hour, now I don’t hear any music, nor did I hear anything when I pulled up so I’m just going to give you guys a warning, who ownes this house?” “I do sir.” I quickly say “alright well make sure to keep these guys and lady quiet because if I have to come back we will have a problem!” He says in a stern voice. “Okay officer, we will call it a night and head to bed” I said to him, concentrating on not shitting my pants. “Have a good night.” He says “thank you officer, stay safe!” I reply. I shut the door and peep out the powder room bathroom waiting for him to drive away. “Oh my fucking god!!!!” We all scream shocked by how close we were to being in serious trouble! He clearly saw the liquor and porn because while talking to me he pointed his flash light at it, we all saw it! All I know is someone was with us that night, and saved us from some serious troubles! Thank God! And we did do as we said and called it a night. I think it’s safe to say we went into the house with an experience we would never forget, and many many more to come.
The road to here. My perspective.
