🌟 lottie & the roommates
at first it was just supposed to be tiana and lottie living together when they moved to corona, but they had two spare rooms and tia said it’d be smartest to find roommates instead of making them giant closets like lottie originally wanted to do. they met roxanne at freshman orientation and liked her right away. lottie extended the invitation for her to come move in with them, saying she didn’t even have to pay rent if she didn’t want to. with roxanne came elsa and it was as easy as that. truth be told they probably should have looked into both the girls before just inviting them to move into their home - but both lottie and tia are too trusting for their own good. and it turned out fine anyway.
lottie absolutely hates that they insist on paying rent. she charges them way less than they actually would have to pay if all four were evenly splitting the rent - but lottie doesn’t tell them that. she flat out refuses to tell them how much the townhouse actually costs - partially because she doesn’t even remember the exact cost anyway. every month big daddy pays the official rent to their landlord and lottie takes their money, just to put it away in a box if it’s cash or a separate account when it’s a check. she then uses that money to buy them things. normally stuff they need but felt they couldn’t afford to buy at the moment. or if something needs repaired around the house she uses that money and just tells them the landlord handled it so they don’t insist on chipping in even more.
at least once a week they have a “family” dinner all four of them. it’s not any set day of the week because it all depends on tiana’s work schedules - but they make sure to do at least something together. lottie always suggests they order out so tia can get a break from cooking all the time, but 99% of the time she insists it’s okay and that she wants to cook. the other girls offer their help and usually just end up on chopping duty or doing the something simple like a salad.after the meal is done none of them let tiana help clean up - the three take care of it all themselves and then they all either watch a movie together or play games or something.
