I heard the doorbell ring, but I was still getting ready.

"Priestly, can you get it?"

He got up from watching tv. "no problem."

He answered the door. Both Priestly and Jason just stared at each other for a long minute.

Jason was about to leave. "Sorry, I must have the wrong place."

Priestly reassured him. "No, you don't. Jalissa is almost ready.I'm her roommate Priestly."

Seriously? Her roommate.?

Jason stood there awkwardly. "Okay."

I came to the door.

"Okay, I'm ready to go."

Jason smiled at me. "Wow."

Priestly agreed. "Yeah."

I smiled and left with Jason.

Priestly hoped this guy was good for her. Since her last boyfriend died in a car accident last year, she's shut herself off when it comes to relationships. Kinda like him. She deserves someone just as amazing as her.

Jason and I went to this restaurant that had the best Philly cheesteaks in Santa Cruz.

I looked at him with shock.

"I remember you said how much you love Philly cheesteaks.."

"I do. In fact, I come here all the time. When they see me, my oder is already in."

Jason looked at me impressed. "Really?'

We walked in and Alice, the waitress that works here seven days a week, greeted us at the door.

"Hi Jalissa, the usual?"

"Yeah. Make it two. I brought some company."

She smiled and led us to our seats.

Jason started off with the conversation. " Your roommate is.. very different."

He is, but he's such a sweet guy. He encouraged me that I should go out with you."

He playfully put his hand to his heart. " You needed encouraging?"

I laughed. " Not like that. His girlfriend just left him for another guy. He's really broken up about it. I thought he could use a friend to stay in with him."

Jason understood. " Well, by the way he looked at you before we left, I would've never guessed he was going through a breakup."

This talk about Priestly was starting to make me uncomfortable.

We didn't talk about him for the rest of the night. We talked about what kind of books we read, if I watch sports, what kinda of music we listen to, everything.

We stayed until closing.

Alice came over to the both of us. "Sorry you guys, but we are closing."

"Np problem."

He paid and gave Alice a large tip. She's truly the sweetest person who ever waitressed.

Jason walked me to my door.

"In my head, I'm kissing you right now."

I smiled and leaned in to kiss him.

"Wow, that was better than I imagined it."

"I'll see you tomorrow?"

I definitely wanted to see him tomorrow.

"Absolutely."

I went to my room to reminisce everything that happened tonight. I also needed to finish up my school work and cram for my midterm.

Priestly came in.

"So is he a keeper?," he asked while lifting my feet to sit down.

I logged into my computer. " I think he is. How was the rest of your night?"

He didn't answer at first because he was staring at my nighttime attire.

"Is that my shirt?"

I smiled.

"I asked you a question first."

Fair enough. "You know those metal tickets I wanted to get for two months now? I got em. Fourth row seats. I bought em off Stub Hub. You wanna go with me? It's tomorrow night."

"Yeah, sure. Besides, living with you, I've grown into liking the music."

He grinned. " Ok, so why are you wearing my shirt?"

"Because When I went to do my laundry, it was mixed in with it. If it's in my laundry, it's my shirt."

"Interesting rule. It looks better on you anyway."

When I opened the documents where I save all my school work, I saw it was all done.

"Priestly, were you on my computer?"

"Yeah, I was. I did all the work for you. You had the date and I wanted to help you out."

I moved my legs from off his lap and hugged him.

"I love hugs, but what was that for?"

"For being an awesome roommate."
