Viola sat in car, the engine turned off, in the parking spot of her new place. ‘New’, in a sense. She had been living there for a few weeks now, but coming home wasn’t any easier. Not due to anything bad, just… general nervousness. Her roommate, Leland, was a delight. Possibly one of the best roommates she had. He was sweet, caring, and always cleaned up after himself. In theory, Viola should have been ecstatic to have such a great roommate. And she was. She really was. But her nervousness stemmed from a conversation and a small discovery from after she moved in. ”Also, I have to be honest. I work in the porn industry.” It shouldn’t have mattered to Viola, because as long as he brought in money to pay for his rent and groceries, what her roommate did for work shouldn’t have mattered. But she couldn’t help it. She was curious, and she had to admit, he was attractive. And after a few shots after a particularly bad shift at her own work, she happened across a video of his while she was alone in her room. And now, here she sat. Trying to find the courage to go inside and pretend like she hadn’t found his videos. To be a normal roommate. “You got this.” She whispered to herself before climbing out of her car. Viola quickly walked inside, hanging her sweater and purse up on the coat hook. “I’m home now.” She called out, walking to the kitchen to look for something to eat. The food at work just wasn’t appealing any longer. “I might order some food, do you want some?” @Jake

Leland had been sitting in his room, he had a computer set up that could rival anything you put in front of it, and what did he do with it, he edited porn videos. He made sure that the station was turned away from the door in front of him, but couldn't avoid the window behind him, which he normally kept the blinds closed on, he had his headphones in when she walked through the door, but feeling the vibration of a door hitting the wall in the apartment, he knew that either Viola was home or that someone was breaking in. He would pause his video and put his headphones down, locking the computer as he got up, walking to the front door. Clad in a pair of basketball shorts and a white t-shirt, he would step through the door to see her sitting her stuff away, "Sorry, had my headphones in," he said with a smile as he stepped forward, "Food you say?" He contemplated for a few moments, "I want Japanese..."

Viola turned around to see Leland coming out of his bedroom down the hall. Without hesitation, she offered him a small but genuine smile. She had reached down to grab a bottle of water out of the fridge as she pondered his suggestion. “Mmm… Japanese does sound really good right now.” She paused for a moment, nodding her head. “Yeah, let’s get that.” Viola opened a seemingly random drawer, being greeted by an almost concerning amount of take out menus. She dug through the papers, careful not to give herself a paper cut, taking a few seconds before finally finding the menu she was looking for. “I haven’t had Japanese in so long, I can’t even remember what I like.” She spoke out loud, mostly to herself, as Viola sat down on the couch and scoured the menu. “What do you suggest?”

"I think I might need to clean that out," he said with a smile, "I think I seen a thing for Chilis in there and we haven't had one of those near here in 10 years..." He laughed as he looked over at her. She was an awesome roommate to have, she cleaned, she rocked, she stayed in her lane most days and didn't worry about him being in porn. She was ideal for this situation, plus, she wasn't bad to look at, at all. He smiled as she would sit on the couch and begin to look the menu over. It was a hibachi steakhouse, so they menu was not too grand, but there was some variety including sushi. "Well, do you like sushi," he would ask as he would leap over the back of the couch that faced the bedroom doors, "Or do you like a lot of meat and rice?"

Viola could feel the couch cushions shift slightly beneath Leland as he sat down beside her. Her eyes gazed over the menu, occasionally looking towards her roommate every so often. “Sushi? Yeah, I’m down for that.” Viola said, practically drooling at the idea of sushi. “I can’t even remember the last time I had it, it’s been so long.” She laughed. Viola handed the menu to Leland, letting him look for what he wanted to order. “I’ll just have a variety of sushi. Just… a platter of whatever they have.” She laughed, lifting herself from the couch. “Oh yeah, I wanted to tell you, my friend is throwing a party tonight and asked me to invite you too.” Viola said, somewhat awkwardly. While her friends probably didn’t know what exactly he did for work, a lot of her friends did find Leland attractive, always asking about him. Did it make Viola the slightest bit jealous? Maybe. But there wasn’t much she could do. He was just her roommate. “You don’t have to come if you don’t want too, just thought I’d ask.” Her voice carried through the apartment as she went back to the kitchen to fetch herself a drink.

"Sushi it is," he would say with a smile, pulling up his phone. The place had a DoorDash option, he much preferred that to the delivery fees that they made him pay so he would begin putting together his stuff, "Sushi variety platter and hibachi, steak and chicken, no veggies. Protein load coming up, got a shoot where I have to look like a freaking athlete of the year." This was something that was normal, he would refer to his movies as shoots and openly talk about them in public. Not in great detail, but the same way an actor would talk about a movie role or a television spot. He smiled at her as she began to move from the couch, but stopped and listened as she said that he friend wanted to have him over to the party... "That's actually quite thoughtful," he said, pondering the option for the moment, "Actually, I am not doing anything tonight, I would love to attend. Could be fun to just get out of the house and do something. Can you get me a Monster?"

“An athlete?” Viola let out a small chuckle as she wandered over to the fridge. “Gunna wear a jersey? Start talking like a sports bro? Do… whatever athletes do in their free time?” Viola joked. She pondered the options of drinks in the fridge as she continued to listen to Leland, mindlessly tapping her fingers on the top of the refrigerator door. The woman lingered in the light of the fridge for a small moment. She was happy to hear that Leland would be attending, as he was a blast to hang out with, but at the same time, she knew she wouldn’t actually spend most of the night hanging out with him. There was no denying it, he was attractive. And her friends always spent their time drooling over him whenever they came by to ‘visit’, which was happening a lot more since she had moved in with Leland. She couldn’t blame them though. She probably would have done the same if the positions were flipped. After a few seconds, Viola reached down to grab the Monster for Leland and an energy drink for herself as well, a Redbull she had sitting in the door of the fridge since the day before. “Well, I’m going to start getting ready after we eat, should we Uber there?” Viola plopped herself down on the couch beside her roommate, handing him the energy drink he asked for. @Jake

"Yeah, yeah," he would laugh as she returned, "It is stupid. They are wanting to do a stupid athlete/cheerleader thing and I... blah..." He smiled as he looked over at her. He wanted to do real acting, but this definitely didn't pay as much as he wanted. He knew that this would have to be for right now. No one was hiring a porn star as a real actor anyway. Unless he got something good and killed the role... His daydreaming already beginning as she would ask about what they should do for rides tonight. "Uber sounds fun," he said with a smile, "I definitely don't want to be partying and driving the Tesla, hell, I don't know if it would even start with me being drunk. Plus, what if you want to bring someone home, it would be kinda weird having to ride in your roommates car while making out in the backseat?"

Viola faked a gag, though she quickly followed it up with a laugh. She didn’t mind hearing about his work, which was somewhat surprising to Viola herself. When she found out what Leland did, she wasn’t sure if she could handle it, but it was easy. It didn’t seem so… taboo. Viola was already a sex-positive person, and hearing the behind the scenes chatter that Leland would talk about, or hearing him complain about an ‘awful day at work’, it… humanized the industry for her a little more. And she appreciated it quite a bit. ’…making out in the backseat?’ The sentence was enough to pull a boisterous laughter from her, shaking her head. “God, no! Could you imagine that?” Viola playfully nudged him, leaning back into the couch a little further before opening her drink. “’Don’t worry, my roommate could drive us!’ That would be so embarrassing.” Viola half-joked. Yet a thought remained in the back of her mind. Viola knew she wouldn’t be going home with anyone. She never wanted to take anyone home, it didn’t feel right. “Plus, I would never defile your Tesla like that.” She turned to look at him, leaning her head against her hand, which was propped up on the back of the couch. “Plus, when you inevitably take someone home, you won’t have to deal with me being the annoying drunk roommate I usually am when we’re driving back here.” She smiled, small yet genuine, before taking a sip of her drink.

@Jake

"Bringing work home," he would giggle, "No thanks..." It wasn't that he was de-sensitized to sex, but he wanted something more than just a meaningless hookup or bringing someone home at night. Has he done it and will continue to do it, more than likely, but does it mean that he likes anymore, not really. He would look down at the couch for a moment and then back up to her, "So, Uber together there, and if necessary, Uber back separately. If you bring someone back before I get home, just give me a text and I will make sure not to interrupt. Unless you want me too..." A wink, followed by his tongue sticking out signifited that he was joking as he looked over finishing typing on his phone, "So, food is on the way."

Viola almost spit out her drink at Leland’s comment. Mostly because of the hilarity of the comment, but also because it was definitely something she had thought about. But she played it off quickly, swallowing her drink before laughing loudly. She turned to face him, playfully slapping his arm. “Shut up!” Viola giggled, though she quickly felt the heat rising to her cheeks. Turning away in an attempt to hide the obvious fluster, Viola picked up her phone and opened the text thread with the friend who was throwing the party. You got your wish, Lelands coming too. What time should we show up? Viola turned to look at her roommate again, smiling as she nodded her head. “Sounds good! I am starving. I might go take a quick shower before the food gets here though.” She stood up, leaving her phone and drink on the coffee table. “Don’t eat my sushi while I’m gone!”
