You Need It

Kit ran the roller over the wall one more time, making sure that there were no white spots showing through the paint. After trying to redecorate his bedroom years ago, he’d learned that he needed to be more careful and intentional when it came to painting. He didn’t want a patchy job for his first apartment.

Bria looked at their work and smiled, wiping her forehead with the back of her hand. “Does this look good?” she asked.

“It looks perfect.”

He’d talked to Alma again and decided that he wanted something deep to help compliment the furniture color. He’d gone with black wood for the coffee table, entertainment center, and dining table set, and to match this, he’d picked a latte brown color to paint the wall. Once everything was dry and he could set the dining table up against the accent wall, it would all come together.

Bria started to say something when there was a rambunctious set of knocks at the door. “I got it,” she said. As she hurried off to answer the door, Kit bent down and carefully folded up all of the plastic they’d put down on the carpet.

“Welcome to adulthood, beyotch!” Chad exclaimed, raising his hand. The six-pack of beers clinked inside.

“I’m a big kid now,” Kit cheered. “You can put those in the fridge if you want. Hey, Michelle!”

Michelle gave a little wave and gestured to the large gift box in her hands. “I got you a little something!”

“Girl, you know you didn’t have to do that for me!” he said. Michelle handed over the box and shrugged.

“I just wanted to congratulate you on your first place. It’s a big deal, even if you pretend like it isn’t! I remember the first place I moved into had a bedbug problem, but I was still proud of myself for actually getting out of my folks’ house and on my own feet. Open that, hurry!”

“Yeah, don’t act all modest now,” Bria teased.

“Fine, fine!” Kit stuffed the floor covering in a large trash bag and wiped his hands off. He carried the box over to the coffee table and took a seat on the futon. “This better not be anything insane, I’m gonna have to get you something in return.”

“No way, this is your celebration,” Michelle said, waving that statement off.

Kit tore off the wrapping paper and cut open the brown box. Inside, he found the Star Wars lamp he’d been lusting after for the past six months. “Holy shit, Michelle!”

She clapped happily. “Do you like it?”

“I love it! But I can’t accept this. This lamp is two hundred dollars online! How did you even know I wanted it?”

Michelle gave an obvious glance towards Chad and winked at Kit. “I had a little helper! And seriously, it’s no biggie, all I have to do is work Uber another extra day and I’m good. I’m the biggest Star Wars geek myself, so I might even get one for my bedroom.”

Kit looked back at the lamp and shook his head in disbelief.
