LIBERTY TO LOVE

Chapter 2

"Damn you, Amelia!" I thought and turned my eyes from his body.

"Ugh. Hello. How can I help you?" mysterious man asked me.

"Well I am here to look for a room. I am looking a new place to live." I said still don't looking at him.

"Oh sorry. I don't live here. Please come in. I will call someone to help you."

"That would be nice. And can you do me a favour? Can that person come and be dressed?"

"Sorry about that. This isn't usually how I meet new people. I will go and call someone and then come and wait with you. And I promise I will be with clothes." Man said chuckling.

"Ok, I will be waiting in there. Don't be a deal breaker."

"I promise. Deal is a deal."

And then he left me alone in house hall. It was not big, as I thought but not too small. I could see stairs, which are leading in second floor. There were a lot of doors. Walls were light yellow almost white. Floor was lined with dark wood planks. There also was closet, large shoe cabinet, hat and coat stand and large black sofa. I hope so that in this house is living another girl. Because house full of men isn't what Jason would think appropriate place to live. Suddenly man who let me in appeared within one of the many doors in first floor. He now was dressed with jeans and grey t-shirt. His hair was combed and he looked now wide-awake. His eyes were dark blue almost black.

"Sorry that I left you here. We will have to wait till someone comes to us. Would you want a cup of coffee or tea?"

"Coffee sounds nice. Lead your way. I am new here." I said chuckling. I was so nervous. He started to walk to the first doors in the left. Aha! There was a kitchen. And what a kitchen it was. There was everything that I could imagine would be in the place where delicious dishes are prepared. There also was a huge table with 8 chairs. How many people lived in this house? Cupboards were dark blue and their worktops in black colour. Floor was white and walls were in white and blue. Everything I saw till now screamed to me men, men, and men! But someone in this house knew how to cook. And everything till now was very clean. Everything is matching even Amelia's standards.

"So you said that someone would come. You don't know whom?" I asked nervously.

"Oh don't worry. One of two people would come. I don't know which one. I am sorry I didn't introduce myself. My name is Jesus Velasquez."

"I am Sookie Stackhouse. Nice to meat you." I said and extended my hand. He shook it and smiled. "You said you didn't live here. I am sorry if I will be rude but what are you doing here then?"

"I don't live here but if you will be living in this house you will see me a lot. One of your possible roommates is my boyfriend."

"So he may come and talk with me?" I asked while was sipping my coffee. "Sorry to interrupt but this coffee is very good."

"Thank you. This kitchen and everything in here is Lafayette's castle. So coffee is his too. That is my boyfriend's name. Yes he may come. But he didn't know nothing about you and that you could come today, so he is not happy. He hates when someone interrupts his beauty sleep."

"I am so sorry. But my friend Tray called someone from this house yesterday and that person said that he will be waiting me at 12 am sharp."

"Your friend is Tray Dawson?"

"Yeah. You know him?"

"A little bit. He looks like a nice guy."

"He is. And he is a very good friend."

"Ok I am here. What is on fire?" suddenly I heard a voice behind me. I turned around and saw big muscular black-skinned man with pink leopard pattern bathrobe. His hair was braided and on his lips was pink lip-gloss. His eyes were warm and chocolate colour. His fingernails were purple. And his slippers were pink too and with glitter. That must be Lafayette. Who else could talk in this house about beauty sleep?

"Nothing on fire baby. Meet Sookie Stackhouse. She wants to rent a room in this house. She agreed to meet with Alcide at 12 am. And he offered that time. So this nice girl was waiting over half an hour for someone to show up." Jesus said and then turned at me. " It was nice to meet you Sookie. I hope I will see you again." He said to me and kissed my cheek.

"It was nice to meet you too Jesus. Thank you that you staid with me." and then he kissed Lafayette and walked from the kitchen. I stood there not knowing what to do. Now I was so nervous and scared because I couldn't talk.

"I will grab a cup of coffee too an then we would talk. That is good for you?" Lafayette asked and I just nodded. He took cup, poured coffee in it and sat at the huge table. I sat next to him.

"No you tell me something about yourself and I will tell you something about this house and people who are living in here."

"Ok. My name is Sookie. I am 18 years old and I am looking for a place to live."

Lafayette started laughing and said, "I like you. My name is Lafayette. I am 21 years old. And I live in here over year and a half. Why are looking where to live when studies started over two months ago?"

"I was living in dorm and had two roommates. I really don't want to talk about them. They are older then me and we could say that our characters didn't match. My two friends now are packing my things because I don't want to go back there."

"So you would need a room now?"

"Yeah. It is difficult to find something nice and that price don't bite me. My friend Tray told me that you are looking for new roommate. I thought that I could see this place. It can't be worst then were I was living."

"Oh you are poor little thing. Don't worry. Lafayette will help you. I like you and I think we will be friends in no time. I really would like if there would be another girl. It is very hard to live with boys only. But it is not so simple."

"Well I have money if it concerns you." I said and looked at Lafayette.

"That's good. The rent isn't very expensive. But room will be vacant only after this semester. In it nobody lives now but there are a lot of things from the last tenant. And if you want to live in here you have to get an agreement from others tenants too."

"How many people live here?" I asked with curiosity.

"There are living three tenants. Me and other two. And sometimes Sam comes to visit us. That is name of last tenant."

"Oh. I understand." I said sadly. I liked this house. And Lafayette is very nice guy or girl. And his boyfriend Jesus was so helpful and friendly.

"Hey girl! Where that charming smile disappeared? When you are with Lafayette no sad faces are allowed. I said I help you, didn't I?"

"Yes, Lafayette. You said that you would help me. So what's the plan? You will hide me under your bed or in the closet?" I asked with chuckle.

"Well girl you really don't want to hide under my bed. I heard how you blushed when you saw my boy. And my closet is full. You are pretty but not like my costumes."

"I am sorry. I didn't want to look. It just…"

"You can look but do not touch. We have a deal?"

"Yes. And he only sees you. Do not worry about that."

"Worry? Pfff. There is not word like worry in my dictionary sweetheart. Worry only makes your skin wrinkle."

I couldn't help myself and started laughing. It was hilarious. Lafayette started to laugh with me too. It will be so nice to live with person like him. This diva syndrome and his attitude would be like sunshine in clouded day. When we stopped laughing we become serious again. Well serious enough to talk and decide something.

"So what do you think we could do Lafayette?"

"Well Sam isn't big problem for us. He is nice guy. Sam would come and get all his things. But now he is travelling so it could be not so soon."

"If he is nice guy, maybe he would let me live in his room. I won't touch his things. I swear."

"And were would be your things?"

"I have a friend. You know Tray Dawson?" I asked to Lafayette and he nodded. "Well he now lives with my best friend Amelia. So she would keep my things."

"That is good. So I will call Sam and talk about you. If he let's you live in his room with his things that is only a plus for you. Other guys will be even more compliant."

"Ok, so we have to wait. Can you tell me something more?"

"You want to know about me or the house?" Lafayette asked me.

"Tell me something about yourself. I don't know if I would be living in this house. But I like you. And you can make hell of a coffee." I said with giggle.

"Well I am business student and I want to become a chef."

"Me too. Well I am a business student too not a chef. But I like to cook."

"I like you even more. Someday I want to have my own restaurant. It would be called "Lafayette's" because my name and I am awesome" he said and started laughing.

"Well you are awesome. And I think your restaurant will be very popular. I would want to be your main taster. And Jesus also studying?"

"No sweetheart. He is a nurse. Jesus is 24 years old and we are dating over 8 months. Do you have a boyfriend?"

"Well it is difficult. I don't know."

"How can you not know?"

"It is very complicated Lafayette. Everybody thinks that we are dating. But he is not here. And he is older, and we rarely see each other. It is difficult."

"Yeah sweetheart. It is difficult. You need to talk with him. Tell him how you feel. Before it is too late."

"Can we not talk about it? Even thinking about him spoils my mood."

"Of course. You will tell me when you want. So you are in business?"

"Yes. But I have extra classes on psychology and sociology. I always wanted to work with children and help them. But my family wants that I work in family business. So I had no choice."

"Everything has their own time. You can't know what is waiting in the future. Maybe it is a job you want, maybe it is love or maybe it is my boy without shirt."

"Oh my God! Lafayette!"

"What did I miss?" suddenly Jesus walks in the kitchen and asks. Lafayette and I started hysterically laugh when we saw him.

"Nothing boyfriend. You like always in time." Lafayette said to Jesus.

"I hope he didn't scare you Sookie? Lafayette can be very persuading."

"Oh he was wonderful. We will be best girlfriends in no time. I assure you." I said to Jesus and winked.

"Yes girlfriend! We must to go shopping one day. You have magnificent body. Well mines are better but you are near."

"I hope that was a compliment. Because your muscles are perfect but I like my curves very much." I said and three of us start laughing again. Suddenly my phone starts to ring.

"I am sorry. Where can I answer my phone?" I asked.

"Talk here. We don't mind" Lafayette said right away.

"You can go to a hall. I will show you a living room but it is a mess now. And Lafayette stop be noisy." Jesus said sternly.

"Thanks." I said for both of them and walked out of the kitchen.

"Hi Amelia. What do you want?

"Hello to you Sookie. Where are you?"

"Well duh. I am in the house where is vacant room. Where can I be?"

"You are still there? You know that now is 2 pm, right?"

"Really? Time is going so fast in here."

"So you will rent a place?"

"Well it is complicated. The room is full of Sam's things. That is name of last tenant. And I have to meet other two possible roommates. They have to agree that I can live in this house. But Lala and I have a pretty good plan."

"Who is this Lala?"

"He met me in the house and talked with me about everything. His name is Lafayette and he is awesome. He is so funny and relaxed. You have to meet him. You know what will be awesome? If three of us go to club to dance." I said and started laughing.

"And where was Alcide?"

"And who is Alcide?"

"Tray's friend. He called him last night."

"I didn't see him at all. I have no idea where he is."

"Tray will be pissed off when he hears it."

"Don't say anything to Tray. I have to make a good first impression that they let me live here."

"You liked there so much?"

"Yeah. I am feeling like I have found my home. It is like when we lived together. Of course I didn't heard any noises. At least for now."

"Don't even start Sookie."

"Sorry. It just split from my mouth. How my roommates acted when you packed my things?"

"Tray and I were alone. I didn't see them. Thanks God for little favours. What are you going to do with your things?"

"I almost forgot. Can you keep them? I will return at your home tonight. But I don't know if I could live in this place. And if I could I would be living in Sam's room with his stuff."

"Of course I will keep them. You don't have many things. And Tray in his shop have a storage if something don't fit in my apartment."

"Thanks Amelia."

"Do not mention it. We will talk more when you are home tonight?"

"Yeah. Sure. I love you. Bye."

"I love you too. Bye."

I stopped my phone talk and I saw that Lafayette was standing in the doorway and was smiling.

"Where is Jesus?"

"He also talks with his phone. I was bored. Sorry."

"No. You are not sorry."

"Well I was pretending that I am sorry."

"Then it is good that you are not an actor."

"Girl, I am fabulous!"

"Of course you are. Just you are lame actor. That's all."

"You jus broke my heart. So sweet and so cruel."

"Lala you are perfect. And your acting is perfect. Lame but perfect. You know what I mean?"

"You confusing me. Hell that. What Tray can't know?"

"You are really noisy thing. Well, Alcide was the one who said that would meet me in here at 12 am. Not Jesus or you. So if Tray knew that he would be very angry. He loves me like a sister."

"Yeah. You better don't say anything to Tray."

"That is good that we think so similar."

"Not close. We think similar but not this time. I want Alcide for myself. Last night was my birthday and his present to me was cancelled my beauty sleep. You just don't think that I blame you. It is Alcide's fault. Only his."

"Hey. If you fall out with him then my chances to live here is equal to zero."

"Well you might be right. So if he let's you live here he will have his head on his neck. But if he not…"

"Stop that. I want live here but I am not that pathetic. I will talk for myself. You can do what you want."

Suddenly we heard something in the second floor. Lafayette and I both looked up to see want is going in there. We heard someone talking. No, better say someone screamed but we couldn't understand. And then we saw a girl. She was with tangled hairs or maybe it was her haircut. Her makeup was all over her face. She had her pumps in her hands. Her dress or shirt or lingerie or… hell I don't know what it was but she put it on in hurry. When she got on the first floor she looked in my eyes like I was her biggest enemy.

"Move from my way, bitch!" she shouted in my face.

I didn't have time to answer her or punch in her face when Lafayette pulled me out of her way.

"Don't now. She is not worth it." He whispered in my ear. The psycho girl glared in our direction and walked from the house.

"What is going in here?" Jesus asked suddenly. He can appear from nowhere.

"Not now boyfriend." Lafayette said to him.

"Debbie wait a minute!" man shouted who appeared suddenly in front of us. Oh yes! He also was only with boxers. What's wrong with men whose are sleeping in this house? Thank God that there lives Lafayette too. This man was a little bigger that Jesus and more muscular than Lafayette. His dark hair was tangled but his brown eyes were wide opened.

"She left." Lafayette said flatly and turned around to go in the kitchen.

"Well, that is great! Fuck. And what are you doing here? Party was yesterday. Nobody wants you here. Maybe you are so stupid that don't know where to find doors? I can show you." He said to me and stretched out his hand towards the door.

"Excuse me?"

What the hell is going on now? And who is this prick?
