Turn my back and slam the door

 

"Crap," Roman said with a wince when he got up.

"What?" LaLa asked, thinking she might not have any more sense than he did. What was she thinking? Sleeping with someone who wasn't even vaccinated.

She went to make coffee. Naturally, the cleaning fairies didn't do much while they were asleep. She guessed the kitchen could look worse. Honestly, this was no place to have a dinner party, but she knew a guy like Roman could have a party anywhere. 

"No, I'm fine." He slipped on sweatpants. He went to find coffee cups. "Damn, if that Kyle can't fool me."

"What do you mean?" LaLa looked at him as if she didn't have a problem with his friend. He seemed pretty cool to her and he was with a very calm chick who was a yoga instructor.

"Oh, that girl of his..she's his roommate," He winced more then shook his head. "Why is he such a liar?"

"What did you do?" She swelled a frown as if she knew all about his reputation. She heard Bren speak of his streaking days back in high school and how he stripped a prom for his date.

Roman only sighed. "That..that is not the point."

She only laughed at him and poured him a cup of coffee.

"Don't get on his case," LaLa told him. "You two are still friends, aren't you?"

"I guess."

"Don't even let on that you know."

He nodded. 

She took a sip of coffee thinking he might be mental, but she didn't want to believe that. After all, last night was good. Maybe not great, but she had no expectations. It was kind of funny that she'd get together with him. Perhaps, she'd done it out of spite and Caitlin kept asking if he was seeing anyone as if he just might be the one for LaLa.

They'd just met and she already felt Caitlin was a long-lost friend she was in need of. "Just think of things we could get up to this summer," Caitlin had smiled then at the dinner party, adding she would love it if LaLa and Roman went camping and road trips with them.

Of course, that was just a dream. LaLa wasn't sure things would ever get back to that normal.

Roman went to scramble some eggs and she found the bread to make toast. Of course, there was no sign of Bren. LaLa checked Bren's room already. She hadn't even slept there.
