[AngelofyourNighmares]

They were both in there first year of college.. and he was in love with another girl, and Felicity had to pretend like she was happy for him.(I am looking to make this a long dramatic detailed role)

Paul Jacobs

Paul stood at the little kitchen stove in the apartment he shared with his dog rex, burning his second pancake in a row. "Oh holyfuck." he swore, "again?" he grumbled, and then in the next breath, "Shut up Rex, you're gonna piss off my neighbors again! I'm tired of getting complaint visits." Then as he dumped the second burnt pan cake onto a plate he heard the second knock. It was close to 4 O'clock on a friday, so it wasn't unusual that someone was coming to visit at this time of day. Walking passed the labrador he patted his chocolate companion on the head in silent appology for yelling at him. After all Rex was one of his best companions. "I'm a commin'." he hollered at the door. He just hoped it wasn't a complaining neighbor, or another one of the dead beat younger students in his classes who always wanted to come to his house and play with his dog, or spend the night, because it was off campus. He ruffled his short cropped hair as he walked, scratching an itch. His hair was dark brown, and he wore it slightly longer on top than in the sides and back. He opened the door slowly, green eyes sweeping the hall outside his door to see who his visitor was. "Even before he saw the person he was speaking, If you're selling something, I'm not interested, if you want me to go to a frat party, you can forget it, and if you are yet another guy wanting to be my roommate, I already have one, and he gets very jealous of other males in his territory. He has four legs, a tale, and very sharp teeth. Now, if that doesn't rule you out, feel free to come in." he said as his eyes finally fell on his guest.

Felicity

Felicity was glad classes were over it had been a long day, full of surprises first she woke up to late, then she got to class and wham stupid pop quiz... then after all her classes were through it began raining and she didn't drive cause it was so nice out... what else could possibly go wrong... then she knew one person who could make the day go great... her best friend Paul... she she walked her way to his house her blond hair still damp from the rain but she managed to get it looking half way decent, her white dress clung to her slim body. Paul's apartment was off campus so it was a longer walk but she didn't mind it gave her time to think. She got to his house and rang the bell. She laughed when he didn't bother asking who it was, and what he said next...

''Gee Paul I hope you don't answer to everyone like that.'' She said with a giggle. ''Bad day?'' She asked lightly and smiled gently at him. ''And for the record I am not scared of your dog... I rather think he'd like me as a roommate.'' She said stifling a laugh as the dog ran up to her. ''Hey there Rex.'' She said smiling her bright smile just as she thought being near Paul always made her day better.

"Well of course he would like you as a roommate," he said letting her in with a smile, "You sure don't look male to me." he said eyeing her almost translucent dress. "Geez, you goin to a strip joint in that thing?" he teased as he joined in the petting of Rex. "Big guy's glad to see you, he acts tough, but he's one big softy." he said with a smile.
"As a matter of fact, I do greet everyone like that, and yes its not my day, I was trying to make pan cakes, and I've burnt both my attempts, the first was so bad, Rex wouldn't even eat it. He just gave me this look like, ewww are you nuts?" he laughed at his own humor. He had a easy sense of humor most of the time, and one had to take what he said with a grain of salt often.

 

[AngelofyourNighmares]

Felicity

Felicity laughed at that... ''Are you asking for a roommate?'' She asked in wonder it would be nice to live off campus, and he was her best friend.. so it would make living together easy.

''And no it started raining when I left class it dried almost by the time I got here.'' She said giggling at his comment... ''I think i'd make good money though.'' She said shaking her head.

''You never could cook want me to make breakfeast for you, you big baby.'' She said stifling another giggle in his attempt... ''Bad pancakes don't top the day i've had.'' She said shaking her head.

''They say dog's are like there owners... you act tough but your not.'' She said smiling her same bright smile.

''So it's been a week whats been happening?''

 

[The_gladiator]

Paul

"Do I want a roommate?" he asked shrugging, "Why you wanna live here?" he said as he turned towards the kitchen.
"Sure, I know I act tough too, and Hell woman, I could burn water." he said as he looked at his batter. "Maybe they're no good because they're lumpy? Is the batter supposed to look like that?" he asked from the other room not looking to see if she'd followed him or not.
"What's been happening, the usual. Melisa still refuses to talk to me." he said sighing. Everyone that knew Paul, knew he was still in love with his x-wife Melisa, who had decided she no longer loved him.

Felicity

''I am sure you could use help with the rent.'' She said softly and smiled at him as he walked away momentarily but still spoke to her through the rooms. He was older than her she was only 19.. and had loved him forever but she wouldn't tell him that. ''And no there not supposed to look like this.'' She said laughing as she threw the batter out made fresh batter and made him breakfeast. ''Done.'' She said when she finished she didn't follow him however.. she stood against the counter. ''Paul I know you love her but its been 6 months now... your divorced... shouldn't you be moving on?'' She asked softly

 

[The_gladiator]

Paul

Paul turned back to face her standing in the kitchen doorway. "Its so hard to move on." he said softly. I mean, I love her Licy." he said using his childhood name for her, something he didn't do very often anymore. "I can't believe I worked so hard for her, to make a life together, for 3 whole years, and now this." he said, he was only 21, but felt much older. "I thought I was enough." He took a deep breath and sighed, "I'm sure you're sick of hearing my wo's, no matter if you said you'd listen to me no matter what." he said softly, absently petting Rex who was standing tongue lolling beside him.

Felicity

Felicity looked at him and smiled gently when he walked back into the kitchen... she faked a smile so he couldn't see what she wanted and what she needed, and that she hated his ex wife... that woman had everything that felicity had to live without. She shook her head and dropped back into the room. ''Sorry your right... I know its hard... and no I am not tired of hearing it i'm your best friend we've been best friends since what I was 13 and you were 15... thats a long time.. i'll always be here for ya.'' She said faking that smile once again. ''Here you need to eat... it's better than what you made anyway.'' She said giggling once again. She thought to herself that he would be enough for her.

 

[The_gladiator]

he nodded slowly, "Thank you Felicity." he said taking hold of the plate and beginning to shovel the food in, on purpose, waiting for the expected smack and order to slow down, as he usually got, he just wondered where the blow would land this time. "No git Rex." he told his dog through a mouthful of pan cake, pushing his dog back. The way he was eating, one might question, when the last time he had eaten was, if he was eating breakfast at 4 O'clock in the afternoon on a friday.

 

[AngelofyourNighmares]

Felicity

Felicity was always amazed by Paul's youthfulness but then again that was one of the many things she admired about him, yet he knew when to be serious... ''Paul, Paul... noones going to take it from you.'' She said slapping his arm lightly. ''God you don't get out much... so about that roommate position was that a offer you said no guys... but you said nothing about a cute little bestfriend.'' She said her dark chocolate brown eyes smiled back at him.

 

[The_gladiator]

Paul
Paul laughed, "Oh, sorry." he said and visibly slowed. He considered those beautiful brown eyes, "You are serious, you would really like to live here?" he asked, "With me and the mut here?" he said nudging his everpresent furry brown shadow. "I mean if you really would like to, I guess sure you could stay here, There is my small little office space I could make into a bedroom, and yeah, help on the rent would be nice. I'da gotten a smaller apartment, but I needed room for hairball here." he added. She knew he didn't have money, and worked his way through school, and had had to work for everything he had today.

''Sure why wouldn't I mean it, I mean look at all the benefits, half the time I am not home I either have class, or I am working when I am home I am doing classwork. Then theres the fact I can help pay the rent, and I mean come on Paul you surely can't cook, I can do that also.'' She said giving him the benefits, even though there was one in the back of her head that told her she shouldn't being even closer to him might make hiding her feeling's that much harder, but it would be nice to have peace and quiet off campus.

She never mentioned the fact that this would help him have extra money, nor would she, he knew she was to kind for that kind of thing. ''But I understand if you and Rex want your privacy.'' She said with her right smile.

 

[The_gladiator]

Paul

"Hah, me and Rex want privacy?" he said looking down at the chocolate colored lab, who was still begging, "He'd love the company." he said with a smile. Then looking up he chuckled, "Remember, I'm not as tough as I say I am, I'd like the company too. I never could get used to living alone after, well you know." he said with a sort of awkward chuckle. "So, when do you want to move in?" he asked her.

ooc: My posting will be scarce to non-existent this weekend. Sorry for the inconvenience)

 

[AngelofyourNighmares]

felicity

Felicity smiled at him kindly and gently as she patted the labs head once again. ''I think I already like Rex.'' She said with a giggle, she would have said living with him would be amazing but she wouldn't. ''So what took you so long to get a roommate?'' She asked but knew the answer he was hoping his ex would come home... but she hadn't. ''As soon as your ready for me to I am willing.'' She said smiling.

 

[The_gladiator]

Paul

Paul finished eating mostly in silence. as if thinking about her question, "I think you know." he finally said softly. He cleared his throat as he began to wash his plate, "So I say you can move in as soon as you want." he said, "We'll have to go get you a bed though." he commented, unless the floor sounds good to you, or you'd like to share with Either Me or Rex. However, he snores." he said with a chuckle, "Not to mention he stinks sometimes. And, as for myself, well yeah, you wouldn't want to share my bed either."

 

[AngelofyourNighmares]

felicity

She erally didn't want to bring up bad memory's for him, that was the last thing she had wanted to do. ''Sorry Paul, I didn't mean anything by it.'' She said and looked over at him kindly. ''Tomorrow morning is the best time for me I don't have any classes until evening tomorrow.'' She said and smiled, she loved his playfulness, and his vulnerability even more. ''I have a bed in storage.'' She said and smiled..''I wasn't always planning to live on campus... I just needed to save up some money to get a place of my own.. but with school and work I don't have the time.'' She said honestly and smiled. ''As for sleeping with Rex, well he's cute I wouldn't mind... but Paul, I've watched you sleep you toss and turn to much.. and you talk in your sleep sometimes.'' She said in a giggle as she looked at him, although she was thinking that he didn't know how much she would want to share a bed with him.

 

[The_gladiator]

"You have class tomorrow?" he asked curiously, "Tomorrows saturday, or did you forget?" he said with a laugh.
"I do not talk in my sleep, and, if I toss and turn, I must be seeking something I don't have in my bed." he said his smile playful for the moment. "And, don't call this one cute, you'll give him a complex or something. The guy already delights in controling my life, he doesn't need to feel anymore powerful than he does now." he said.
"So got plans for tonight?" he inquired as he set his plate in the opposite side of the sink, not othering to dry and put the dish away.

 

[AngelofyourNighmares]

felicity

''I guess I did forget.'' She said laughing nervously realizing he had that effect on her. ''I am not sure what I am thinking.'' She said lying knowing she was thinking to much of him and not enough of her life. ''Well then tomorrow morning is good for me as long as it works for you.'' She said softly and smiled at him. ''Yeah well he deserves a complex look at them big chocolate eyes.'' She said with a soft giggle as she rubbed the labs head. ''Your not jelous of your dog are ya now?" She asked in a teasing tone. You could have me in your bed for the last 6 years she thought to herself, and sighed. ''Plans no not really I was going to study is all.'' She said... ''You?'' She asked softly.

 

[The_gladiator]

"Well, I don't have to work tonight." he said, But I wasn't really feeling the studying. I guess sit and watch T.V. eat popcorn, and pizza with this lump here." he said indicating Rex, who was still rubbing his head on her palm. "Hmmm, Jealous of him?" he said, "No way, I'm way better looking, arent I?" he said adopting a pose like he was getting his picture taken.

 

[AngelofyourNighmares]

felicity

''You not working.'' She said with a scoff... ''Sometimes I think that besides schoolwork is all you do... don't you go out anymore Paul?'' She asked with a bright smile as she looked at him gently. ''And Rex is the lump?'' She said with a raised eyebrow as she giggled lightly. ''Alright yeah your cuter.'' She said with a giggle... ''But he's more loving.'' She said... ''Nice pose.'' She said lightly.. they knew just how to tease each other.

 

[The_gladiator]

Paul

He laughed, "Yeah, I might be a lump, but at least I stay in shape." he said, "And no I do not live at the Gym, and no there is no hot chick there I've had my eye on. Which wasn't strictly true, because his x wife often went to work out, and he often went to try to talk to her, or just to watch her. But, what ever the reason, the visits to the gym hadn't done anything to hurt his figure.
"No, I don't go out much anymore, do you?" he answered another of her questions.

 

[AngelofyourNighmares]

Felicity

Felicity smiled at him gently... he was right it didn't hurt his figure... but Felicity also knew that his ex wife went to the gym alot... Felicity remembered when Paul and his ex joined and Paul asked Felicity if she wanted to join as well... but she had passed it was hard enough seeing Paul now still fawning over a woman that didn't want him and that didn't love him either... Felicity was lost in thougt and Paul noticed.

''I still go to a few party's here and there when I have free time.'' She said softly... ''You know a party or even a movie outside of the house might not be so bad for you Paul.'' She said smiling softly.

 

[The_gladiator]

Paul

Paul nodded slowly, "Are you volonteering to take me out or something?" h e said with a laugh. "Have you appointed yourself my psychologist, and are responsible for my sanity now?" he reached out and poked her in the ribs.
