"I'd be more fine if I hadn't just come home from a long shift only to be kicked out of my apartment because my stupid roommate was having sex with her fiance," Phoebe sighed, looking up. Whenever she was annoyed, she could become sarcastic. Sure, it was much unlike her, but it's what happened.
Evangeline jumped ever so slightly, surprised by the sudden response. "Oh man… that's no fun. You look awfully uncomfortable, do you have anywhere else that you can stay the night?"
"I mean I could go stay at my brother Jensen's apartment but he has a bunch of horny roommates." She sighed again.
"Eww…" She looked around the hallway, thinking. "Hmm, you can stay in my apartment for the night, if you would like!"
"Ugh sometimes I really hate Andel," Phoebe sighed, avoiding the question with a soft blush creeping onto her cheeks. "All I want is to go to sleep and work on my act for tomorrow night. Or technically tonight, I guess."
Evangeline nodded. "I can understand that, but you never answered my question. Would you like to stay in my apartment for the night?"
"Wouldn't that be a little awkward? I mean we barely know each other," Phoebe replied, finally making eye contact with Evangeline. She blushed softly and looked away slightly.
Evangeline smiled at Phoebe's slight blushing. "Nah… At least I don't think so. You can sleep on my couch, don't worry, it's super comfortable. And speaking of knowing each other, my name is Evangeline, what's yours?"
"Phoebe. Phoebe Henderson. I would make a joke about that but I'm not actually doing a comedy show right now," She chuckled, more to herself than to Evangeline.
"Cool beans. So you're a comedian then, huh?" Evangeline fiddled with her keys. "So do you wanna stay the night, or no?"
"Only part-time," Phoebe replied. "And only if you're OK with it, I wouldn't want to intrude into your life."
"Oh, I'm more than happy to help a person like you!" Evangeline smiled and fumbled with her keys while trying to unlock the door. After a couple of tries, she opened the door and gestured for Phoebe to come in.
A person like me? Phoebe immediately thought. But, she picked up her blankets and pillow and followed Evangeline into her appointment.
Evangeline showed Phoebe in and shut the door behind her. "Okay, so over here is the couch. It's actually a futon, so it unfolds into a bed. Am I forgetting anything?… Oh! The bathroom is the second door around the corner. Let me know if you need anything." She turned around to leave, then she spun back around. "Also, I don't really have any food so I was going to go to that convenience store down the street. Do you need anything?"
"Oh, no. I work in a cafe so I kinda had food before I left," Phoebe replied. "Oh and thanks for letting me stay, I guess."
"Whatever you say! And of course! I'm very happy to help! So I'll be back in 10-15 minutes… here's my phone number if anything comes up." Evangeline looked around for a piece of paper and eventually found one. She then wrote her phone number on it and gave the paper to Phoebe.
Phoebe took the piece of paper and watched as Evangeline left. The blush on her cheeks deepened and she shoved her face in the pillow.
Evangeline slowly closed and locked the door. She speed-walked down the halls and left the apartment building. She got to the convenience store and started to get some various food items.
It seemed to Phoebe that she'd only just realised how intense her crush on her neighbour actually was. Sure, she'd known that she had a crush on the girl, but she thought it was just like any other crush. Apparently not.
Once Evangeline finally found the perfect snacks for her mood at that moment, she paid and left the store, hurrying back to her apartment. After 3 minutes, she got back to her apartment. She knocked at her door with a foot, as her hands were full.
Phoebe jumped at the sound, surprised. Knowing that Evangeline wasn't home, so she would have to answer for her instead. She got up off the couch and walked towards the door.
Evangeline waited for about a minute, maybe two. She knocked again with her foot, hoping she hadn't woken up Phoebe.
Whoever it is is really impatient, Phoebe thought, opening the door.
Evangeline let out a breath "Thank you so much! What took so long? Oh! Did I wake you up?" She scooted past Phoebe and went to her kitchen to set down her bags.
"No, you didn't wake me," Phoebe replied, closing the door. "I just didn't know who was at the door, and if it was someone you would want me to open it to."
