Series Masterlist

——————————————————

September 16, 2022

Today marks one week. You have officially been roommates with Joe for one week.

It hasn't been terrible, just a little, awkward? It's easy to see neither of you really want to live together. He would much rather live with Ja'Marr—which you don't blame him.

Take that as you will.

Throughout the past week you’ve been trying to settle yourself into the apartment. You’ve been replacing some things around the apartment to make it known that it wasn't just Joe who lived here. Like in the kitchen, you added a vase of pink flowers. The gray cabinets and white marble countertops of the kitchen needed some color. You bought pink towels for the bathroom too, which didn't go over great with Joe.

flashback…

"Y/n!”

You sighed as you stood from your bed. You walked out of your room and into the space between the living room and kitchen.

"Yeah?!" you called out.

Joe stepped out of the bathroom, holding up a pink towel. He gave you a look, raising his eyebrows and expecting you to explain why his bath towels are now pink.

You shrugged, "Beige is boring. So I put my pink ones in there."

"You can't do that."

"Last time I checked, it's my bathroom too. If I want pink towels, I can have them in there."

Joe scoffed, "Okay well, what did you do with mine?"

"They're still in there? You just grabbed the pink one."

He huffed out a dramatic sigh.

"Y/n, I can't have pink towels in my bathroom. I don't care if you use them, just keep them in your room."

You rolled your eyes, "Oh come on, seriously? You worried your friends are going to make fun of you for having pink towels?"

"Yeah, actually, I am!"

You couldn't help but laugh. He was so worried about these damn towels.

"Okay, fine. I'll get 'em out of there after your shower. Happy?"

"Very." He said, going back into the bathroom and shutting the door.

end of flashback…

Now you didn't have to worry about making the bedroom your own. Since that was void of any of Joes belongings, you could do whatever you wanted with it. You kept it simple, yet feminine. You have a gray comforter, with soft pink pillows and a fluffy pink blanket to match on the foot of the bed. You have a full body mirror on the wall next to the bed, with decorative flowers on the sides. You also bough canvas' to put on the wall that you got from TJ Maxx before you moved here.

You already loved your room. Spending most of your time in there this week while Joe was home. You and Joe tolerate each other for the most part. You don't really go out of your way to talk to each other yet. Both of you are still trying to get used to living with the other.

Most days, Joe has practice all day and the days he gets out of practice early, he goes out and does stuff with his teammates. So the days he's at practice, you go out to the living room or out to the pool, since it still feels like summer in Cincinnati. Now you don't plan on staying inside the apartment this whole year, obviously. You are going to go into the city and find a job when Joe's in Dallas this weekend for his game. Hopefully finding a good job will keep you busy so you can stay out of Joe's hair.

You decided to add some decorations to the living room. Nothing too extravagant, just some pastel pink decorative pillows for both ends of the couch, along with gray marble coasters. They were the perfect addition to the living room in your opinion. Joe, now he might think otherwise. Just a few days ago, you were adding some finishing touches to your room when Joe barged into your room to talk about the apartment.

flashback…

"Hmm," you thought out loud, “this doesn't look right."

You were currently trying to organize your closet. Trying to color code your clothes, but it just wasn't working out for you. So you decided to reorganize your closet for the third time now.

You sang along quietly to Love Game by Lady Gaga, "Let's have some fun this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco-."

The door burst open, causing you to jump.

"Jesus," you breathed out, placing a hand on your chest.

It was just Joe.

"Sorry," he laughed, "I didn't mean to scare you."

You paused the music before splitting your attention between him and the clothes you were hanging up. "What do you need?"

Joe sighed, crossing his arms over his chest. "We need to have a talk. About the apartment."

You furrowed your brow in confusion. "Okay?"

"I want to start by saying, I don't mind if you use anything in this apartment, you know all that what's mine is yours bullshit."

You nodded as he continued.

"I just don't want you moving my...important stuff."

Oh no. You don't remember moving any of his things?

He rubbed the back of his neck, "You moved my SpongeBob shoes and condoms."

You let out a loud laugh and then instantly covered your mouth. You took your hand away and composed yourself, “Sorry, I'm sorry."

Joe just rolled his eyes as you let out a little chuckle.

SpongeBob shoes and condoms, now that's the first time you’ve heard those two things in one sentence.

"I'm sorry Joe. I won't move your shoes again."

"Thank you."

You put your hands on your hips, "But the condoms? I think I had every right to put those up."

"But they're mine! I can choose where they go."

"Okay but not on the kitchen counter!?"

He threw his hands up "They weren't used!?"

"So!? They're still condoms, Joe!"

He just shook his head as you spoke.

"I don't care who you screw, when you screw, where you-well, I kind of care where, but whatever. As I was saying, I don't care who you screw just don't keep the condoms in the kitchen."

He sighed, smiling smugly, "Fine. I'll keep 'em in the bathroom. Wait, even better my bedroom. Happy?"

"Very." you said nodding your head and giving him a tight smile.

end of flashback…

So you and and Joe aren't exactly off to the best start...

You will admit, it is partially your fault. You just want the place to look like you live here too. It's not just his place anymore!

After adding some more of your own things around the apartment, you decided to head out to the pool for a bit. You put on a bright red bikini. The top was triangle shaped and the bottoms were high leg, shaping your body perfectly. You slipped on your white flip flops and grabbed a beach towel from the closet. You went into the kitchen and filled up your water bottle before heading down to the pool. Joe wasn't supposed to be back for about another hour, so you figured you would stay out there and relax for a bit. You picked out a beach chair and laud down, putting your sunglasses on and airpods in your ears, blasting your favorite songs as you basked in the warmth of the sunlight.

meanwhile...

Joe's Pov:

"Yo! Burrow!"

I looked up from my phone, seeing Ja'Marr and Logan jogging over to me. I put my phone in my pocket and turned to the guys.

"What's up guys?"

"We still on for tonight?" Ja'Marr asked, placing a hand on my shoulder. I nodded, "Oh yeah. You guys can follow me home."

Logan nodded, "Sounds good. Let me call Macee real quick, then I'll be right over."

"Man you better make that call quick, I don't need to hear no phone sex right now." Ja'Marr shuddered.

I smirked, "You'll be hearing that on the plane tomorrow, my guy."

Ja'Marr laughed, "Not from you."

Logan smirked and clapped my shoulder, "I'm sure Burrows got a lady friend...he's just keeping her from us."

"Oh you know, wouldn't want her to fall in love with you, Ja'Marrr. You're fuckin' crazy."

"And you're not?" Logan questioned with raised eyebrows.

I shrugged, "Touché."

Ja'Marr and Logan laughed. Logan spoke, "Alright, well I'll see y'all at Burrows apartment."

I nodded. "Yup."

I got into my Porsche and turned the car on. As soon as I sat down, my eyes widened in realization.

My apartment. The guys are coming to my apartment. Shit. They don't know about Y/n.

"Ah fuck." I muttered under my breath as I backed out of my parking spot.

I had to get there before Ja'Marr and Logan did so I could talk to Y/n and maybe get her to go somewhere else for the night so the guys and I had the apartment to ourselves.

I know that makes me sound like a dick, asking her to go somewhere else for the night. But Y/n and I aren't exactly starting off on the best terms. We've started to discover how to get under each others skin and it's only been the first week of living together. Based on how we've started, who knows what it'll be like ten weeks from now.

She seems like a sweet girl and she's very pretty...I just don't think we make good roommates, at all. And the last people I want her to meet right now are my teammates, especially since she and I aren't getting along great right now.

I pulled into the lot by my apartment, parking in my usual spot. I quickly turned the car off and went to my apartment, not even caring about grabbing my bag from practice. I had more important things to do. I pulled my key out and unlocked door. Walking into the apartment, I was met with silence.

Eerie silence.

"Y/n?” I called out. Nothing. I sighed, and walked to her room. I peered into her room. Nothing.

"Great," I sighed, "this is great."

I could only hope she didn't come home while the guys were over. They'd never let me hear the end of it if they saw her.

————————————————————————

You took your AirPods out and put them back in their case. You had been outside for almost two hours, so you decided to head back inside. You picked up your phone and looked at the time. You were hoping you would still get some time to yourself, but unfortunately Joe would be back from practice by now. You slipped on your flip flops and grabbed your towel, ready to head back to your apartment and shower.

You went to unlock the door but stopped when you heard voices and laughter.

Joe never told you he was having friends over!? If you would've known they were coming over you would have never gone to the pool! Now you have to walk in in just your bikini!? Oh lord...

You took a deep breath and unlocked the door.

"Burrow, man why the hell do you have pink towels in your bath-oh."

You walked into the apartment, shutting the door behind you. You stood awkwardly at the door.

Joe was sitting on the couch with Logan Wilson. You noticed Joe's eyes widen when he saw you walk in. His eyes slowly scanned down your body. He was practically drooling at the sight of you in your red bikini. You’ll have to mention that to him later...

You wrapped the towel around your body, covering yourself up. Joe took his gaze off of you and turned to Logan instead. The two of them having a beer while Ja'Marr Chase was standing in the doorway of the bathroom, holding up your pink towel. Ja'Marr turned the bathroom light off and walked back out into the living room.

Logan looked at you with a smirk, "I knew Burrow had a special lady he was keeping from us."

You felt your face heat up. "Oh no. No, we're not dating."

"Nope. Never." Joe said shaking his head.

Ja'Marr looked between you and Joe, “Look, I ain't here to judge, if you two are fuck buddies and you're here for him to take you to pound town, I get it. If that's the case Wilson and I are gone."

"Oh my god." Joe said, sighing.

"Dude," Logan said, putting his hand out, stopping Ja'Marr, "don't ever say that again."

Ja'Marr put his hands up in defense, "I'm just sayin! Look at her, she is gorgeous. If Burrow isn't with her I may have to-."

"Okay, okay, stop." Joe said, standing up and waving him off.

You couldn't help the faint laugh that escaped your mouth as you watched the guys interact. Joe stood up and pointed at you.

"Logan, Ja'Marr. This is Y/n, my roommate." He turned to you, “Y/n, these are my teammates and best friends Ja'Marr and Logan."

You smiled, waving at them, "Hi guys, it's nice to meet you."

Logan waved back, “It's nice to meet you too. Joe didn't tell us he had a roommate."

"And a gorgeous one at that." Ja'Marr said with a wink. Joe rolled his eyes at his best friend as you smiled sheepishly, muttering a thank you.

"I don't want to intrude on your guys night, so I'm going to go shower real quick and then I'll be out of your hair."

The guys nodded.

"You're welcome to join us though." Logan said with a smile.

"Mmm..." Joe trailed off quietly.

"Thank you," you said, gratefully. However, you eyed Joe as you continued, "but I'll just stay in my room. I'd hate to ruin poor Joe's night. It was good meeting you guys though, enjoy your night."

With that, you walked off to my room, shutting the door and locking it. Ja'Marr and Logan watched with wide eyes as Joe stood with his lips in a thin line.

"Woah." was all Ja'Marr said.

Joe plopped himself back down on the couch with a huff. He grabbed his beer bottle and took a swig before he spoke.

"So that's Y/n. She's lovely isn't she?"

"Man," Logan sighed, "what was that?"

"What do you mean?"

"I can still feel the tension, sheesh." Ja'Marr replied, shaking his head.

Joe shrugged, "Well, she and I aren't exactly, friends."

Ja'Marr laughed, "Burrow, I'd say you're enemies at this point."

Joe shook his head, "Whatever. I only have to live with her for a year, after that I'll never have to see her again."

Logan chuckled, "Don't you at least want to try to get along with her? I mean, you don't want to be miserable for the whole year, neither does she."

"Yeah, I guess. I think she forgets I lived here first though. It's kind of annoying, the things she does," he sighs, "I just don't-." Your bedroom door opening caused Joe to stop his sentence. You walked out of your room and made your way to the bathroom, not even acknowledging the guys. As soon as you got into the bathroom you leaned up against the door, letting out a heavy sigh.

This has been one extremely long and exhausting week.

But if Joe thinks you’re annoying already, then he better get prepared.

Because you’re just getting started.

hey loves!!

we're finally getting into the good stuff for this book—YAY!

i'm having so much fun writing this. i've said this before, but i really cant wait for you all to see what i have planned for this book :)

some of the characters mentioned in this book are not real. obviously the bengals players are all real people, but Macee and Emma (who will be introduced soon) are not. they are made up for this book!

i hope you’re all enjoying this story so far. more coming soon!! i have chapters done from wattpad that i just need to transfer over here, but i’m trying to space them out a bit.

[thedawningofthehour]

Okay, first of making fun of rich people's houses on Zillow. This is actually the tamest house out of the three that made me want to do this.

This house was in Arizona and is like 15 mil and 13,000 square feet.

Entertaining Room That We Absolute Use.

I'm guessing this is either for the two people that are still friends with them or for inviting over other rich couples to show off how rich they are. Look, we have this grand piano here. It has never been used and we have to pay a guy to tune it regularly, but one day little Susie will prove to be a musical prodigy and we can force her to play for people we don't like.

Oh, this is the other side. I actually hate it more now. The other side wasn't my taste, but at least it was scenic. That flooring and those columns are literally just "look I have so much money." Also the effect of Fancy Chandelier is somewhat diluted if you put two of them in the same room.

Featuring Much Used Table and Chair in the background and...what is that supposed to be, like a secretary counter on the left? I can just imagine some lady in an office chair behind that answering the Very Busy house phone.

"This is where Daddy loses his Christmas bonus on poker night."

Okay, I-no, I hate this, I can't pretend not to. I hate the white kitchen trend, I hate marble countertops. They have...they look like brussel sprouts on a tray? As a decoration?

The dual fridges thing might have been cool if the execution was different, but for some reason the design and color just makes it look like it was tacked on, like if-wait. How many ovens are there?

So they have two stovetop ovens there

And what looks like two ovens in between the fridges? Four ovens?!

I mean, the top oven looks like it might be a microwave? I think the bottom might be a proofing drawer for bread, (lol like these people make their own bread) so many the middle is some specialty oven?

Still. A lot for a kitchen that's almost certainly never used.

I don't really have anything to say about this one. I'm just confused as to what it's for.

I'm increasingly suspicious that rich people are just pretending to be human.

Oh, finally, the living room people actually spend time in.

Featuring Exposed Beams That Are Totally Structurally Necessary.

And big TV you need binoculars to watch from the couch and can't be properly seen from a third of the sitting area. Much used dining table there. Bonus Dead Exotic Animal so you know they travel.

"To show off that we have the money for a bar but we don't want to look like alcoholics."

Deadass thought the back of the couch was stone for a minute.

This room isn't too bad-it's extra and they definitely don't need two sets of double doors right next to each other, but it does seem kind of cozy. I mostly left it in as a palate cleanser for what's to come.

Is that...

Yes. Yes it is.

WHY WHY WHY WHY

Why would you put glass double doors on the bathroom?!

What is going on with that ceiling-oh god, someone is going to slip and crack their head right open on those stairs. Maybe this entire house is an elaborate life insurance plot. If you get bored of your fifth wife just tell her to go take a bath and then you're free to marry your mistress of the month.

This would be so goddamn COLD, guess it's a good thing they have that fireplace.

WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS SHOWER?! Is it supposed to be a communal shower?!! Why is it so big?! WHY IS THERE A WINDOW?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD WHY IS THERE A WINDOW.

I will give them this, I do like how they rounded this out. This part isn't bad. I actually do like the tile design, I just...don't like how they used it.

Just in case you're too befuddled by the actual bathing facilities and choose to go "fuck it" and shower outside.

Actually, the shower out here does make sense, they have a pool. If you're in and out of the water all day, do a quick rinse to get the chlorine off and put a coverup on to go eat lunch or whatever. That's reasonable.

All I can think of here is someone trying to put their makeup and hair products down and accidentally knocking them to the floor because they forget that the counter gets thinner.

Also omg the duuuuuuuust.

There's just something about those 'pretend cultured and fancy' columns against the stark white walls and ceilings that I hate. It's so pretentious and fake.

Is it just me or does every single chair look photoshopped in? There's something weird going on with the lighting.

"Do you hate being able to feel your toes? Do you love having cold feet? Then I have one hell of a basement to sell you!"

I feel like those chairs would actually be extremely uncomfortable and you know each one cost more than my car.

No one has ever used this pool.

Seriously, you couldn't swim laps in it. You could only really swim around in the very deep end, kids wouldn't have a whole lot of space where they can touch to play around. Maybe they could take a little kid to the very edge and splash in the water. And by 'they' I mean the underpaid nanny the parents look down on for being Hispanic despite their ad requiring applicants to be bilingual.

Totally Legit Well. Seriously, guys, this is an ancestral home.

Oh, but we're not done. They have like a guest house or pool house?

Wait, why does this kitchen look better than the main house's kitchen? This one I can actually picture someone using.

Look at that sink! Actually made to wash dishes!

(idk what's up with the line of apples in the cabinet tho)

Okay, the pool house is way cooler. I feel like the big house is literally just for show and this is where people actually spend their time. This looks far more comfortable.

Car stables. "Daddy, why do you have so many cars you use twice a year and cost a quarter million each?"

"Well, sweetie, the short answer is your mother is cheating on me and this fills the void in my life."

Okay I'm gonna go make myself a grilled cheese now. Idk if I'll do another one tonight, but this was fun! I love roasting rich people.

How to Match Mapei Timberwolf Grout with Popular Tile Colors

Matching tile and grout can significantly impact your overall design. Mapei Timberwolf grout is a popular choice due to its warm, neutral tone, making it versatile for various tile types. Whether you're working with ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, finding the right grout color can tie your whole space together, creating a seamless and aesthetic look.

Why Mapei Timberwolf Grout?

Mapei Timberwolf grout has a medium grayish-brown tone, offering a natural look that complements various tile styles. It’s neither too dark nor too light, which makes it perfect for blending with a range of popular tile colors. This grout is also known for its durability and stain resistance, making it ideal for kitchens, bathrooms, and other high-traffic areas.

Top Tile Colors That Match Mapei Timberwolf Grout

1. White Tiles

White tiles are classic and versatile, often used in modern, minimalist, or farmhouse designs. Mapei Timberwolf grout works particularly well with white tiles because the warm undertones of the grout add a touch of softness, preventing the starkness that sometimes comes with using white tiles. This combination also provides a subtle contrast that highlights the grout lines without overwhelming the clean look of the white tiles.

Best for:

Kitchens with white subway tiles

Bathrooms with white hexagon or mosaic tiles

Backsplashes in contemporary spaces

2. Gray Tiles

Gray tiles come in various shades, from light dove gray to dark charcoal. Timberwolf grout’s neutral brownish-gray tone complements these tiles without clashing. When paired with lighter gray tiles, Timberwolf grout creates a smooth transition, maintaining a cohesive design. With darker grays, it subtly softens the overall look, adding warmth to otherwise cool-toned tiles.

Best for:

Living rooms with large-format gray tiles

Bathrooms featuring light gray floor tiles

Walk-in showers with dark gray tiles

3. Beige or Taupe Tiles

Beige and taupe tiles are perfect for creating a warm, inviting space. The earthy tones of Timberwolf grout seamlessly blend with beige tiles, offering a unified, harmonious appearance. This grout color avoids creating harsh lines, making the space feel soft and cohesive, which is especially important in areas where you want a more natural, relaxed vibe.

Best for:

Kitchen floors with beige porcelain tiles

Entryways with taupe stone tiles

Bathrooms with travertine or beige ceramic tiles

4. Marble or Stone Tiles

Natural stone tiles like marble have unique veining and color variations, which can sometimes make grout selection tricky. Timberwolf grout pairs beautifully with marble or stone tiles because it complements the natural shades found in the stone, like grays, browns, and beiges. This grout enhances the elegance of the tiles without drawing attention away from their intricate patterns.

Best for:

High-end kitchens with marble floors

Luxurious bathroom countertops or shower walls

Entryways featuring natural stone flooring

How to Select the Right Tile-Grout Combination

When matching grout to tile, always consider the following factors:

Contrast vs. Blend: Decide if you want the grout to stand out or blend with the tiles. For instance, pairing Timberwolf grout with white tiles creates contrast, making the grout lines pop. Conversely, when paired with beige or taupe tiles, it creates a seamless look.

A bathroom is more than just a functional space; it's a personal retreat where you can unwind, refresh, and prepare for the day ahead. With the growing trend towards modern design, many homeowners are opting to remodel their bathrooms to create a sleek, sophisticated, and serene environment. A modern bath remodel not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of your home but also increases its value. In this blog, we'll explore the key elements of a modern bathroom remodel, from design principles to practical tips, to help you create a space that is both stylish and functional.

The Essence of Modern Bathroom Design

Modern bathroom design is characterized by its clean lines, minimalist approach, and a focus on functionality. It often incorporates neutral color palettes, natural materials, and innovative technology to create a space that is both visually appealing and highly practical. The goal is to create a tranquil environment that feels uncluttered and serene, making your bathroom a place of relaxation and rejuvenation.

Key Elements of a Modern Bath Remodel

1. Minimalist Layout

One of the trademarks of modern design is simplicity. A modern bathroom should have a layout that is streamlined and uncluttered. This often means eliminating unnecessary elements and focusing on what is essential. Consider open floor plans, floating vanities, and wall-mounted fixtures to create a sense of space and openness. Every element in the bathroom should have a purpose and contribute to the overall aesthetic.

2. Neutral Color Palette

Modern bathrooms typically feature a neutral color palette that includes shades of white, gray, black, and beige. These hues produce a serene and timeless mood. However, this doesn't mean your bathroom has to be boring. You can add interest by incorporating different textures and materials, such as matte tiles, polished stone, or wood accents. If you prefer a pop of color, consider subtle hues like soft blues or greens, which can add a touch of personality without overwhelming the space.

3. High-Quality Materials

A modern bathroom remodel often involves the use of high-quality, natural materials. Stone, wood, glass, and metal are commonly used to create a luxurious and durable environment. For example, consider using marble or quartz for countertops, slate or porcelain for flooring, and glass for shower enclosures. These materials not only look elegant but also stand up well to the moisture and wear that bathrooms typically endure.

4. Innovative Technology

Technology plays a significant role in modern bathroom design. From smart mirrors with built-in lighting and Bluetooth speakers to touchless faucets and digital shower controls, these innovations enhance both the functionality and luxury of your bathroom. Consider installing a heated floor system for added comfort or a smart toilet with features like bidet functions, heated seats, and self-cleaning capabilities. These tech-savvy additions can make your bathroom feel more like a spa retreat.

5. Frameless Glass Showers

A frameless glass shower is a staple of modern bathroom design. This sleek, minimalist look not only enhances the sense of space but also allows the beautiful materials and fixtures inside the shower to be showcased. Frameless glass showers are easy to clean, maintain, and can make a small bathroom feel much larger and more open. Pair your glass shower with a rainfall shower head or body jets for a luxurious bathing experience.

6. Floating Vanities and Sinks

Floating vanities and wall-mounted sinks are popular in modern bathrooms because they create a clean, streamlined appearance. These features free up floor space, making the room feel larger and less cluttered. Choose a vanity with ample storage to keep toiletries and other items out of sight, maintaining the minimalist look. Materials like wood or lacquered finishes can add warmth and texture to the design.

7. Freestanding Bathtubs

A freestanding bathtub is a striking centerpiece in a modern bathroom. These tubs come in various shapes and materials, from sleek, oval designs to sculptural forms. They are perfect for creating a spa-like atmosphere, offering a place to relax and unwind after a long day. Position the tub near a window for a view, or pair it with a floor-mounted faucet for a truly luxurious touch.

8. Statement Lighting

Lighting is a crucial element in modern bathroom design. It not only lights the space but also enhances the entire atmosphere. 

In a modern bath remodel, consider incorporating a combination of ambient, task, and accent lighting. LED strip lights under the vanity or behind mirrors can create a soft, glowing effect, while pendant lights or chandeliers can serve as a focal point. Make sure the lighting is both functional and aesthetically pleasing to enhance the modern feel.

Practical Tips for a Successful Modern Bath Remodel

1. Plan Ahead

Before starting your remodel, take the time to plan every detail. Consider the layout, materials, fixtures, and budget. Hiring a professional designer or constructor can help ensure that your concept is carried out successfully.

2. Focus on Functionality

While aesthetics are important, don't forget about functionality. Your bathroom should be easy to use and maintain. Consider storage needs, traffic flow, and how the space will be used by different members of your household.

3. Don't Skimp on Quality

Investing in high-quality materials and fixtures will pay off in the long run. Not only will they look better, but they will also be more durable and easier to maintain.
