"Well...yeah, I kinda am," he said, somewhat sarcastically. He reached out for his glass of water, but ended up brushing her hand in the process. Her skin was so soft...How did girls do it?
Rose let out a small sigh as she looked at the coke can. "Do you have anything diet?" Then, she rolled her eyes. "Of course you don't, this whole apartment is a man cave." She took a slice of pizza and put it on a plate, leaning back into the couch.

Maggie smiled at him, biting her lip. She made a mental note to buy Rose a present. Because this guy was amazing.
He smirked over at her. "Don't act so angry about it. Ya set Mike up with a friend, ya can't hate us that much."

"So, what about your family?" he asked, bringing his hand back to his side of the table.
"I don't hate either of you, you know that," she scolded him, eyeing the remote. Well, if he wasn't going to press 'play,' then she was.

"They're all in California. It's just me out here. Rose has been great, helping me get comfortable. You guys went to school together, right?" She tore off a piece of bread from the basket on the table.
He let her, eating a piece of pizza. "Well, ya sure don't seem to like me much. Why'd ya set that girl up with Mike and not me?"

"Yeah, we did. Along with my roommate, Tyler. We were all in the same freshman dorm, and we just became really good friends. She's really a great girl," he agreed, not surprised that Rose would be the one helping Maggie out in a new city.
"Because their personalities click," she explained, only glancing over at him. "And I like you...most of the time. Just not in that way..." They'd been over this many times before.

((Meh, I'll update the other thread, but then I'm going to bed. I have to get up early tomorrow  )) Maggie nodded, then casually glanced at him as she sipped her water. "You, uh...never dated her?" Tyler smirked. "You keep sayin' that, Sugar. I just don't believe ya." |

Mike shook his head, snagging a piece of bread from the basket. "Nah. I don't really like blonds...She's a great friend, but...Actually, my roommate Tyler has a huge thing for her. I think he'd kill me if I was even interested in her."
"And why not?" she asked, quirking a brow over at him. "If I were interested in you, don't you think I would've acted on it by now? It's been almost 7 years since we met."
((Haha aww! Well, hope you have a good day!))

Maggie laughed. "I've heard about Tyler." She leaned in, eyes twinkling conspiratorially. "Ya know...just between you and me, I think Rose likes him more than she'll let on."
He glanced over at her, eating his pizza. "I just think yer scared."

Michael laughed, nodding. "I think you're absolutely right, Maggie," he agreed, smiling across at her.
"Can we just watch the movie? Thanks," Rose said, fixing her gaze on the television.

Maggie giggled. "Well, since Rose did so well setting me up tonight, maybe I owe her a favor." She blushed, sending him a smile over her admission.
Tyler sighed a little, but didn't say anything. They were a third of the way through the movie when he carefully brushed his hand against her thigh, under the blanket.

Michael blushed a little but sent her a smile back. "Yeah, same..." he admitted quietly. Then the waiter came with their food, and Michael immediately took a pickle spear from his plate, holding it out for her.
Rose shifted a bit, moving her thigh away from Tyler's hand.

She reached out and took it, her fingers brushing against his. "Thanks..." She didn't pull her hand back right away, meeting his eyes.
Tyler frowned, then got off the couch, moving to the kitchen to get a beer. He needed alcohol. Bad.

There went those eyes again, sending icy shivers down his spine. "You're...uh...welcome," he said, a bit dumbly.
Rose continued to watch the movie, getting a bit lost in it. Then, the part with the raptors in the kitchen came. Rose's heart started beating faster, and she instinctively grabbed onto Tyler's shirt sleeve.

Maggie finally pulled her hand away, beginning to eat. They chatted about all kinds of things over dinner -- movies, music, their families... Maggie had never felt so comfortable on a date before. Even with Sebastian, it had never been this easy.
Tyler glanced over at her, arching a brow, then took a swig of beer before carefully taking a hold of her hand.

Michael took the check from the waiter, getting out some cash and leaving it on the table. "You ready?"
"You idiot girl!" Rose cried, gripping Tyler's hand.
