So here we are, all three of us… eating what they call dinner.

So what if it’s no meatloaf and potatoes, I guess this Tai food is better than nothing.

“So Spencer, what made you decide to come to New York?” Ashley asked.

‘Cause I’m an asshole.

Nothing really interesting comes to mind.

So I lie…

“I just wanted a different surrounding and well I thought… why not New York?”

Both her and Aiden just nod.

Why the hell are they nodding?

It’s not the interesting.

“So did you leave a boyfriend back home?”

Another question… Ugh

Shoot me now.

“Eh no one special” I answer.

Silence

Okay then… this is awkward.

I look around at my two new room mates for the umpteenth time.

Analyzing them

We have Ashley…brunette, dark eyes, skinny. Looks like a rocker.

She’s pretty hot, if you’re into that sort of thing.

Then we have Aiden…hot and gay.

I really don’t have anything to work with here.

Ohio State is really looking better now.

What is love?

Baby don’t hurt me

Don’t hurt me

No more

Oh! My! Fucking! God!

I can feel my jaw drop as Aiden announces its Julio on the phone and then runs to the living room.

Ashley just chuckles as she looked at my shocked expression. I find myself beginning to laugh too.

“If you haven’t noticed yet, he’s really gay” she laughs again.

“Yeah, I think I figured that out.” I say also laughing. Once it dies down, we just smile at each other.

“Guys I’m leaving! Ashley behave!” We hear Aiden yell and then hear the door slam.

Behave?

What the hell is he talking about?

She better not be some killer!

I guess she noticed the worry on my face, because she tells me not to worry about it.

“So have you seen much of New York?”

“Not really, I just flew in and came straight here.”

“Well go change and get comfortable. We’re going out”

“We are? But it’s almost eight o’clock.”

She chuckles again, and then shakes her head. “It’s the city of lights, it never sleeps.”

I guess it won’t be so bad after all.
