Adam arrived at his apartment, tired and wanting to eat, take a shower and sleep for the next week. Talking to Jake was a lot harder than he thought it would be. It brought back a lot of feelings he wished had gone away.
He was walking to his room when his roommate Brad walked out of the kitchen.
"Hey man, why are you home so late?"
"I had some extra work today" Adam asked, not wanting to talk very much.
"Oh yeah, I heard about the blue flue thing. Look, the girls should be here soon so hurry up". Brad said going back to the kitchen.
"Girls? What girls" Adam followed him.
"Liz and her roommate. They are coming over to dinner" Brad turned away to continue to slice some onion.
"That's today? I forgot"
Liz was Brad's girlfriend, Adam didn't have anything against her, but she reminded him of the popular girls that used to make fun of him in high school. He didn't know her roommate, but today was not a good day to try to be social with Liz.
"Look, you don't have to cook for me. I'm a little tired. I'll just stay in my room tonight." Adam turn away to leave when Brad stopped him.
"No. You can do that. You need to have dinner with us. It's important." Brad begged, sounding a lot like a five year old.
Adam sighed.
"Ok. Fine. I'll go take a shower".
Adam took his time during his shower. All he wanted was o be alone tonight. He knew that was good for him to talk to somebody, years of therapy, by his mother request, had made him realized that. Stella, Mac and Flack had all reach out to him after the interrogation, but today was one of those days where he just needed to sleep and be alone.
He got dressed and walk out of his room with his hair was still damp.
In the living room, a petite blonde young woman was sitting alone in the sofa, reading one of his comic books.
She turned when she heard his footsteps. She was very, very pretty.
"Hi" she said with a small smile "You must be Adam, the roommate. I'm Maggie, the roommate "
"Nice to meet you" he walked over and sat on the armchair in front of her. "Why are you here alone?" Adam could hear the giggles coming from the kitchen.
"I was starting to get a little nauseated over all the love in the kitchen" she smiled at him and Adam felt a little oh the pressure in his chest from the day dissolve.
"Yeah. So, how do you know Liz?"
Before she could answer Liz, appeared at the door.
"All right kids, dinner it's ready".
They ate dinner and talked, well Brad and Liz talked. Mostly about themselves. Adam and Maggie, just listened and nod and made comments when requested.
"So" Liz started, while they were eating a pie Maggie had bought "We need to tell you guys the real reason why we set up this dinner"
Adam and Maggie looked at each other and then back at them.
"Liz and I…" He reach out for her hand, "We decided to move in together." That was a beat and Liz and Brad just looked at them.
"That's great, but what do we have to do with that?" Maggie asked.
"We want to live in my apartment." Liz said looking at Maggie. "My aunt gave that apartment and it would be stupid to sell it"
"I see." Maggie said "thanks for letting me know about your decision to kick me out"
"I´m sorry Maggie, but Brad and have come up with a solution" She turned to Adam.
"With Brad gone, there would be an extra room here." Adam looked up from his plate to her and than to Maggie.
"It's fine by me. I would have to get a new roommate anyway"
Maggie glared at him.
"We will let you guys talk" Brad said and he and Liz left for his room.
"I can´t believe this" Maggie broke the silence. "She always said it was our apartment, I should have known"
"It's really ok Maggie, you can live here, at least until you can afford your own place. I would need a new roommate anyway; I can't really afford this place by myself."
Maggie turn to look at him, he looked tired and sad, in almost the same way her students did when they were upset. She wondered if Brad moving out was causing him to be that upset, if it did it was kind of a waste of time. Brad was all right but he was kind of boring.
"I'm a kindergarten teacher, who just got out from college; I can't afford any place by myself". She sighed.
"I guess we don't really have a choice" She said. "Let's go tell them the news"
Adam went to sleep right after Maggie left , Liz had stayed with Brad. He slept right the second his head hit the pillow. He dreamed of a girl with blonde hair but when he woke up he didn't remember the dream.
