"Coming!" I rushed to the door.
When the door opened a charming smile and beaming brown eyes greeted me.
"Oh! Ms. Marigold!" I smiled as a rush of excitement came over me. "How are you? I didn't know you were coming over! Did Andre know you were coming?"
"No, actually!" She brushed a lock of wavy dark hair behind her ear. "I was hoping I could talk to you both about the rent?"
"Oh no, he isn't here. But come in!" I stepped aside to let her in.
"Thank you." She said as she slipped into the apartment.
I held my breath as her shoulder brushed my nipple. I wasn't planning to go out so I didn't wear a bra but I thought she had enough room to get by. Did she notice that I didn't have one on?
"Where is Andre by the way? Is he at work?" Marigold asked as she put a hand to her hips and looked around the apartment.
Her red skirt was tight on her hips and ass, giving her an even more plump appearance. "That's a nice skirt! Where did you get it?"
"It was a gift from my sister, I never found out where she got it from though. Would you mind if I had a seat, Rose?"
"Oh no, not at all! Would you like something to drink?" I offered as she sat down on our couch.
Ms. Marigold looked me over, very quickly and almost negligibly, but I felt a thirst behind that look. I almost shuddered at the thought that she wanted me. I've probably been watching too much lesbian porn.
"Nothing yet," she answered, her lips curling into a coy smile. "I'll let you know when I want something."
"Okay," I took a seat next to her. "So, what's happening with the rent?"
"Ah, yes. You and Andre have been great tenants, but expenses have been piling up recently because of some of the other tenants." She very gently touched my knee.
"You mean Alex?"
She stifled a laugh. "Not naming names, but he did cause a bit of damage to the apartments! One of my worst tenants to date, if I might add!"
"Oh my God! Andre almost put him in the hospital that night!" I tapped her shoulder as I spoke. "We were having sex when we heard a window break."
Her eyes widened. "Really? He cockblocked you!"
"Ugh, yes! I was so pissed but Andre? He just put on his shorts and went outside and," I shook my head and waved my hand. "He put an ass-whoopin' on Andre and his friends!"
"Ugh, I almost regret missing it!" Marigold chuckled a bit. "Thankfully, that did stop any further damage from occurring, but Alex for some reason is unable to find the money necessary to cover the damages despite being able to afford forty bottles of Hennessy a day."
"Yeah," I said knowingly. "I once dated a guy who was constantly coming home with money but couldn't afford to buy anything. It's the most frustrating thing on earth!"
"It is! Which leads me to the rent!" She put her hand on my knee again, stroking my lower thigh and knee as she spoke. "I'm raising everyone's rent to cover the costs."
My eyes widened. "Really?"
"It's just for the month, and I know you guys don't deserve it but it's where we are right now."
"I don't think we can afford for the rent to go any higher! Andre is already working his job and he has a coaching job, I can't find any work! Is there really no way to cover it?"
She gave my thigh a reassuring squeeze and frowned. "Not unless you want to pay for the window yourself, I'm afraid not."
"Isn't there something that I can do around the apartment? We came here because it was one of the cheapest apartments in the city! There has to be something I can do!"
"Well, there is something." Marigold slid her hand up my thigh as she locked eyes with me.
I took a deep breath and my heart skipped a beat. "Like what?"
Her hand slid even further up my thigh and my breathing got slightly heavier. "I've always been attracted to pear-shaped girls, and I know you don't speak Spanish but a dark-haired, pear-shaped Latina is definitely my type."
