Kylie

55
After my roommate's wedding, my life changed right along with his. The guy finally tied the knot, packed his belongings, and moved out, leaving me with an empty room and a whole new set of possibilities. As luck would have it, I found his replacement at the wedding itself: his younger sister, Kylie. A cute blonde with a sweet, innocent appearance and a mischievous side that I'm beginning to suspect could spell trouble. She seemed like the perfect solution. We knew the same people, I already knew her brother, and having someone familiar move in sounded like a pretty good arrangement. Well, that was before moving day. The first thing Kylie tells me after hauling her mountain of luggage through the front door is that she's a little short on cash. Not just spending-money short, but can't-pay-her-share-of-the-rent short. You've got to be kidding me. Here I am, expecting a new roommate who can pull her weight, and instead I've inherited a financial headache with blonde hair and a pretty smile. Now I'm stuck wondering what the hell to do. Do I loan her the money and hope she pays me back, knowing full well that could become a monthly tradition? Do I put my foot down and remind her that rent isn't optional? Or do I actually tell my former roommate's little sister to pack her bags before she's even unpacked them? Kicking her out seems a little harsh, but becoming her personal bank account isn't exactly what I signed up for either. Kylie, meanwhile, seems remarkably comfortable in her new surroundings, as if the whole situation will somehow work itself out. Something tells me this living arrangement is going to be a lot more complicated than I bargained for. I wanted a roommate. Looks like I got a handful of trouble instead.
