				Veronica had returned home earlier that evening and found the dishes not done, and that Rose had a strange look in her eyes. Thinking that it was best to leave her and Stephen alone, she made her way up the stairs to her room. Flicking a strand of brown hair out of her blue eyes as she threw her coat on the chair and went to change into her nightgown. Planning to spend another boring night with her headphones on, trying to drown out the sounds of the them. Her mind flicked back to Robert, she liked him, but she was a little shy about asking him out and therefore hadn't.<br><br>The headphones slipped over her ears as she cranked the music as loud as it would go as she settled in to read a book, hoping that she wouldn't be hearing what was going on in the next room.

				What was with that bartender, Nick was thinking while he tried to follow accurately a line of red bricks in the pavement. He should know Nick brings the good times, the good people, and some of the good stuff to the bar. So a few free drinks are just fair. No, much less than fair. He would show him that no one sends Nick off. <br><br>The bulky black man had left his car at the all night store and walked his way to the girls rented house. He needed to vent off some anger. "Hey Veronica baby" he said in the empty street, playing a scene in his mind "I'm not sorry. You had to play the saint, and I let you. Now you let me play my game." He laughed alone, approaching the main door.<br><br>With the hand on the bell, he stopped to think. Veronica was nice. Stephen was nothing - a geek, a wimp, that would hide in the corner if Nick would rise his voice. But Rose. Rose was scary. And her purpose.. <br><br>He shook away his indecision, applying his favourite strategy for uncertain situations. That was, ignoring the problem. He pushed the bell and adjusted his pack, thinking of Veronica.

				Rose was in the kitchen when she heard the doorbell ring. Veronica had gotten home just a little while before, and had gone straight upstairs to her room with barely a hello.<br><br>A chunk of ice sitting on the chopping block, Rose smashed it with a hammer as she thought of Veronica. What a little bitch she can be sometimes!<br><br>Rose shoved the smashed ice into a blender. Arranged on the counter were bottles, fixings for margaritas and other drinks. She set the blender aside and rushed to the door, hoping it would be who she thought it would be.<br><br>Rose opened the door and grinned at Nick. It wasn't a happy grin, more a kind of satisfied half smile that covered a secret pleasure. Rose's dark eyes nearly twinkled at Nick in the dim patio light.<br><br>"Nick. Just in time to help me make some drinks," Rose said as she stepped aside for him to enter. She walked back to the kitchen, a slight sway to her hips. "I thought we might stir up a little party tonight."

				Stephen walked by the kitchen door, his usual quiet movement disguising his passing as he went to the chair he sat in to think. He thought too much, his parents had said, and his teachers. Less thinking, more action was the way they thought, but he didn't know how to do that. Rose was like that...but she was understanding too, he thought, the kind of person he was good at talking to.<br><br>At the moment he was thinking of swaying hips and the sight of Rose walking back into the kitchen. He had the usual horrified and nervous knot in his stomach, not jealousy but instead...fear.<br><br>That was the emotion that had kept him from action more often than anything, and also perhaps his wandering mind, but mostly there was fear.<br><br>He sat rubbing his temples, hoping time would slip away as it often did when he was thinking, he wasn't sure he could stand a night with Nick around, it wasn't what he did...so much as what he was.<br><br>Stephen could only wait, though, Rose was the the one with the guts, he just had a mind.

				Although she would have liked to avoid Steph and Rose, her body had other plans as it called for her to get something to drink and something to eat. Giving an irrated sigh, she ripped of her head phones and turned off the player. Heading downstair, she made sure to keep her ears perked for any sounds that would automatcally send her back upstairs but she didn't hear anything, she thought that she was in the clear. That was until she hit the bottom stair and she spotted Nick. <br><br>Her eyes flicked down into a glare as she looked at him. She didn't like him at all, he was a womenizer and he seemed to not take the hint that she didn't want him,but it seemed that he wanted her no matter what. Ingoring the fact that he was there she headed into the kitchen. "Hi Stephen." She said as she walked past, he wasn't to bad and she had no reason to be mad at him or anything. <br><br>Heading to the fridge, she opened and pulled out the water bottle. Her eyes filcked over to the drinks on the counter and her first thought was that they were going to be drink alot tonight. Of course, she had started to drink and smoke too, but she wouldn't be drinking that was for sure. Especally not with Nick around.

				"Drink" said Rose's sweet lips, Drink and party, too. Good words, good start, Nick was thinking as he stepped in. Then Veronica, proper and prim, passed him by, ignoring him. He smiled at her back, following her with his gaze as she slipped in the kitchen. Pretty legs, pretty ass. Pretty thing.<br><br>"Hi Stephen", he heard her saying. He reached for drink and some peanuts, tilting his hand so that a few would fall on the floor, intimidating in its cleanliness. <br><br>"Stephen, have you heard her? She bursts in and says hi to you only. Hey, you're her favourite, man, you're her leading man." <br><br>Nick moved to Stephen as he spoke. He knew Stephen was physically afraid of him and he wanted to show who was the boss in the room. He tried the same with Rose once and had to retrace his steps. So he just turned to Rose instead "Should make something about her, Rose, she's gonna steal your man. Well, you can get revenge for that", with a blink and a sip, "but it's not the same is it?"<br><br>

				Rose was in the midst of tossing margarita ingredients in the mixer when Nick shot his mouth off. Rose looked at him with a cold glare, the kind that are filled with daggers.<br><br>Her icy expression melted almost as fast as it had come on, and Rose mustered up a smile. "We're all friends here," she said, firing up the blender for a few moments before turning it off. <br><br>She turned to Veronica and gently took her by the arm. "I know things haven't been too good between us lately, all of us," she said to Veronica. "That's mostly my fault. I'm not the best at fitting in. That's why I did all of this."<br><br>Rose waved a hand at the array of drinks and beverages on the counter. "I thought I'd treat you tonight, and we could all relax together. At least, for a little while. What do you say, Veronica? What's your favorite margarita?"

				Stephen was afraid of him...but not for the same reason Nick thought, he didn't know if Nick was necessarily stronger, underneath his uptight appearence he had muscles on muscles over his lean frame, but that didn't mean he had the ability to actually defend himself, he'd never even hit anyone, despite feeling the strong desire to...in fact he was well-adjusted that way, though contemplating worse things than a fist-fight was something he wouldn't tell anyone he did.<br><br>He backed up in his chair a bit, uncomfortable with the proximity. He held his breath until Nick had looked at Rose, though he wasn't happy with that either.<br><br>Stephen then thought about what Nick was saying. That was the dumb part, Veronica should've already jumped in bed with Nick by now, but she seemed determined to spite him at every turn. That was her mistake.<br><br>He got up and walked around, wide around, Nick and got a drink for himself, non-alcoholic. He didn't want to be getting drunk, not tonight.

				It was true that things were bit rocky with all of them, but it seemed that Rose was trying to make up for it and she was going to at least give it a try.&nbsp; "Strawberry." She told her simply, showing that she was going to at least try and make her fit in. It would help with the whole idea of them being room mates. <br><br>"But I'm not going to drink to much tonight." She stated as she really didn't like Nick and she was sure in hell not going to be drunk with him. She might end up waking up with him in her bed and that was something she didn't want happening. <br><br>"Do you need any help?" She asked as she knew the more of a help she was the less she would have to talk to him.

				Woah, Rose, push your eyes back in your eyeballs, Nick thought, managing to shut his mouth in time. With a large shrug, he turned his head away from her gaze and left her boyfriend for her. <br><br>"Margarita, wow" he said to Rose, putting his hand over hers as she stirred the cocktail. When Veronica said strawberry, he nodded, saying "that's my favourite too. Make it double strong, though."<br><br>He winked at Rose and walked back, ogling the girls while they were busy with the preparation. He felt good, so good that he could even look at Stephen - what was Stephen drinking? - and wink, nodding to the girls. He felt good. He felt strong. The night was his.

				"Sure, that would be great," Rose said to Veronica, handing her the blender as she gathered some of the crushed ice.<br><br>"Strawberry it is, then," Rose said, sparing one last glance at Nick before returning her attention to the task at hand.<br><br>"We should have done this earlier," she said to Veronica with a smile. When the concoction was ready, she turned the blender on and watched it swirl inside until it was ready.&nbsp; With a satisfied grin, she flipped it off and poured three glasses.<br><br>Rose handed one drink to Veronica, then grabbed the other two. "Come on, let's kick back for a bit. We'll consider this the peace pipe," she said as she handed one glass to Nick, then sat down on a plush chair.

				Stephen wasn't really all that attentive, there, but not really there. He didn't often make small talk, his topics of conversation were mostly academic, well, when it wasn't...imaginative.<br><br>Stephen felt like whispering in Stephen's ear like some perverse Iago, but imagined that a sudden change of policy on the man would be noticable.<br>

				((If I have anyone that is interested I'll be sure to send them))<br><br>Vernoica helped with the drinks as she mixed the strawberries and the rest in the blender. Noticing Nick had drapped his arm around Rose, guessing that she didn't mind it and therefore she ingored it, but making sure that he didn't try that with me. She would like that sort of affection, the flirting, but not with Nick. Not ever. <br><br>Fixing up the rest of the drinks, She walked over to Nick and handed it to him. "Here." She said simply. Her eyes stayed on his hands as she made sure that he didn't touch her or anything.
