The Stagger Inn
I live in an Apartment block that we affectionately call The Stagger Inn. It's a set of eight apartments. Four on one side and four more across the driveway. Almost everyone in the Inn gets along great.
Next door to me there's Lulu, a gorgeous blonde around my age whom I love to pieces. She's a stunning, tall and slim blonde with amazing hair and big eyes. A real man magnet.
Evil Evie lives in the next apartment along. She's a very naughty girl, our Evie. She does whatever she likes, and she likes some pretty raunchy stuff.
At the end of our row, is Sexy Lexie. She's funny as hell, and what you'd call a dumb blonde. Sometimes I'm not sure if she really is dumb, or it's an act.
Across the way there's Ally, whose husband left her for a man and she's never been the same since.
We don't see much of Charlee, who lives next to Ally. She's not home very much and when she is, she's so quiet that we wouldn't know she's there. Are there any men in the Inn? Yes! But only two. There's Roberre, literally a tall, dark and handsome professional who gives the best hugs, and there's Nevil. He's no devil. He's pretty handsome, but kind of reserved and keeps to himself and doesn't flirt the way Roberre does.
We have a lot of parties at the Inn, hence why we call it The Stagger Inn. Usually they're spontaneous events, like when someone has some news to share, they'll rock up with some champagne and pop a cork, or if one of the girls wants some girlfriend advice, she'll pop in with a bottle of spirits and message all the girls to come over. For special occasions we invite the whole block or even the whole street to a party in the driveway. Everyone brings food to share and we'll stay out there laughing until late. I feel very blessed to have such a lovely group of neighbours, because I've lived in an apartment block before where there were nosy neighbours and people who just don't seem to enjoy peaceful living.
Anyhow, now you've met all the characters in the Inn, you can begin to get to know them as you follow my dating quest as I search for Mr Right.
