Marcus knew his roommates would be in that evening after there late night on the town the night before.  Marcus had taken them to a gallery opening of an acquaintance of his.  It was more of a work event for Marcus, but he always managed to have fun, whether he was working or not.  Marcus was one of those people with a carefree attitude.  Jillian, Justin and he ended up out way to late especially for a Wednesday night.  After the gallery opening they ended up getting a late dinner and finally late night drinks.  Marcus was happy to stay home for a quiet evening in and he wasn't surprised Jillian and Justin were doing the same.<br/><br/>Jillian especially seemed tired.  She definitely didn't seem used to the long days and late nights, the constant activity in her new city life.  Though to Marcus she seemed to really be enjoying her self and seemed to be slowly coming out of her shell, opening up.  The more and more Marcus got to know his new roommate the more he was enjoying her being around, her company.<br/><br/>He found himself standing in the doorway of Jillian's small room, eating a bowl of icecream.  Her room was small, especially compared to Marcus' and Justin's but she seemed fine with it.  She was new to NYC and just making her start, unlike Justin and himself who were doing quite well for themselves.  Marcus stood there seeing Jillian sprawled on her bed with her feet in Justin's lap, he saw Justin slowly rubbing her feet.  Jillian was talking about her day to Justin as he listened, then interrupted after a few minutes.<br/><br/><strong>"long day Jillian, looks like someone's getting pampered, bet that massage is nice.  Next thing you'll want is Me feeding you my Chocolate Peppermint Crunch."  </strong><br/><br/>Marcus joked, but he knew it was Jillian's favorite ice cream.  He walked into the room and sat on the edge of the bed before Jilian even responded, already knowing what her response would be.  Leaning against the headboard, he felt Jillian readjust slipping her head into his lap.  He enjoyed the intimacy of this moment the three of them in her room together.  He slipped a spoon full of ice cream between her lips and watched her eat.  Continuing to listen to her tell Justin about her day.  Marcus spoke as he continued to feed her ice cream.<br/><br/><strong>"sorry to hear it was a rough day.  Though don't get used to being pampered like this.  I don't normally paper a lady, well not without getting something in return."</strong>
