Rooming with a friend-of-a-friend

So Alexa arrived on Monday, but was so tired from her travelling - she started at 6am in Wales - that she'd gone straight to her friend's to crash. She texted me on Tuesday morning, and I arranged for her to come and take a look at the flat that afternoon. After a short chat, and some of the usual questions, we decided that we would live together. The flat was just what she was looking for, and she seemed reasonably normal to me, so all that was left was running it by my landlord. We went for a drink at Jelen to finalise the deal.

My landlord was fine with it, partly because it means a little more rent for him, so Alexa came to get my keys to have them cut. By the time I got home from work she'd moved her stuff in, and it was nice to have someone there to say hello to. At the same time, it was a bit of a shock to the system, and I realised there would be some getting used to for me. I rearranged the food in the fridge so we could each have a side, and it was nice to see some fresh toiletries in the bathroom. Now if I can just get her to turn her music down a little...
