I had expected to come home to an empty apartment the next day. I had ended up spending the night with that delicious little redhead Victoria and we were planning to have a repeat performance later this evening. She a quick shift at a diner to fill in for a girl who had called in sick and then she was going to call me. I wasn't sure why I was giving this girl a two night pass, but she had been pretty good and so I figured it could not hurt. As long as she did not read more in to than what was really there we should be fine.

When I opened the door and slipped inside the apartment I noticed my Quilette roommate happened to be sitting on the couch and staring at the television which had been switched off. I looked around cautiously wondering where Tanya was. Shouldn't she be here by now? Well shouldn't she still be here considering she had most likely spent the night with that Riley guy whose face I wanted to beat in. "Where's Tanya?"

"Out fucking Riley." Leah replied in a calm voice that alerted me to the fact something was wrong.

I had not gotten a rude gesture, sarcastic remark, or even a teasing smirk. She did not even look at me and just continued to simply stare at the TV. Where was the bitch I had grudgingly started to get used to? Had she let Tanya fuck the tough bitch out of her? Why was she being so creepy calm? Had she lost her mind like those kids on the horror movies that stare at blank televisions and say that the people on screen ordered them to kill people? Would I be Leah Clearwater's next victim?

I came to sit down next to her on the couch. I carefully slung my arm over the back of the couch, but made sure that I could in no be accused of trying to put a move on her. "Why aren't you with her?"

"Because two is company and apparently three is a crowd." She muttered before leaning forward and letting her head fall in her hands. I was a bit flabbergasted to see Leah so vulnerable in this moment. She is usually so strong and not to mention bitchy. It was one of the things I found annoyingly sexy about her. "She dumped me."

Awkwardly I reached out my arm and patted her back in what I hoped she would take as a caring gesture and not some weird attempt at a come on. "Oh I am sorry to hear that."

I was not used to making people feel better. Usually I was the one pointing and laughing while mentally screaming 'ha ha you dumbass it is better you than me!' though this time I knew I was actually genuinely glad to not be in her place. Being dumped is never a can of peas and carrots. It's like going to the dentist and having your teeth pulled without any numbing medication. Going through a break up is one of the worst things in the world. So as mean as it made me I was glad it wasn't me. I was literally doing a dance for joy in my head.

Her head snapped around so that she would be able to send me a killer glare. It was pretty fucking obvious she did not believe my genuine concern for her feelings. Sure I could be a dick and sure I wanted her and Tanya to break up so that I could have a piece of her, but that did not mean I wouldn't feel badly about it. "Yeah right."

"No I really am." I tried to come off as not at all feeling a little bit happy that she was once again single, not that being single or not influences my decision that I would have her. I continued to pat the center of her back awkwardly. "I know you liked her a lot."

"Did I hit you yet for introducing her to me?" Leah suddenly stated out of the blue and before I could react she had pushed me to the floor after punching my arm. I threw my hands in my face in a girly movie, but hey my face was my money maker so to speak. Lucky for me she did not hit me again. Instead she chose to look down at me with a scowl. I think my very girly like reaction caused her to rethink hitting me some more. "See why I won't fuck you? You bring nothing but trouble my way."

For a few minutes I just saw with my ass on the floor looking up at her. I did not say anything because of the fact I didn't want to get hit. Bruises never had looked good on my pale skin. The dark of the bruise and my pale skin clashed horribly and it just didn't go together well. Finally I pushed myself up and went over to my CD and opened a secret compartment I had created a few years ago. It was pretty cool and I hid my weed there. The only person to know about it would be Leah since she was watching me with curiosity. I gathered up my rolling papers and bag of pot before making my way back over to her. I sat down next to her and licked one end of the paper as I started to fill it with my herbal friend.

"I can forgive the fact you hit me since you are going through a hard time right now." I told her calmly as I finished rolling one joint and started in on another. I got my weed from Jasper and so I felt no reason to be stingy with it when it was so obvious she needed to relax. "I can even be a good guy and share with you if you want. You want to share a joint or two with me? I am going to call Victoria and cancel since I know you need a friend right now even if you won't admit it. I am not leaving you alone for two reasons. The first reason being that if I leave and you do something stupid then it is on me. The second reason and most important in my opinion being the fact that you now know where I hide my weed. So those are the main reasons I am cancelling my date and staying with you tonight."

Leah raised her eyebrow and shook her head. "Plus the fact that you hoping for rebound sex has to be a main reason. You won't be getting sex, but you are right about the fact that if you leave I am going to raid your weed stash. So light up and hand it over."

"I was thinking we could share the first hit." I said with a small and hopeful smile before lighting the joint (I could hear my father in the back of my mind chastising me about how wrong it was, but I ignored him since he was a figment of my imagination) and continued with lighting it before taking a drag and pressing my lips to hers.

She opened her mouth to receive the smoke I blew her way. After a few seconds we pulled apart and she blew it out. "Well that was interesting and no, that doesn't count as a kiss and so you cannot be blabbing to all your guy friends about it. Oh and as much as I hate to say it, but thanks for staying with me."

TBC…

"So what do you do for a job?"

"No I really am a nurse, why?"

"Because you just made every naughty nurse fantasy I ever had come to life in my mind."

AND

"How the fuck am I supposed to dance with you if I can't touch you?"

"Be creative."
