Roommate Situation
What is that?
“You look nice.Where are you going?”Andy asked when I walked out into the living room.
I was in a nice black dress.“Crazy.”I answered and sat down on the couch next to him so that I could put on my shoes.
“Ha, ha, ha.That was so funny that I almost forgot to laugh.”He answered.
“If you must know, Austin is taking me out to dinner.”I replied slipping on my skull shoes.They didn’t exactly go with the dress but there was no way I was going to wear heels.Those things were dangerous.
“Are you guys dating or something?You bring him up a lot.”
I shook my head and laughed, “Nooo…been there done that.Not going there again.He’s my best friend.”
“How am I supposed to win you over if you’re going out to dinner with another guy?”Andy asked.He crossed his arms across his chest and leaned back on the well-worn couch.
“You said you were up for the challenge.Besides I had these plans before I even met you.You had all day today but you just sat there.”I pointed out.
“Maybe I was strategizing about what I was going to do.”Andy responded.
“You were yelling at the television the last time I came out here.”He had nearly given me a heart attack.
“The person in the movie was being dumb.”He stated as if it would explain everything.
Before I could say anything else there was a knock on the door.“Well see you later.” I said and then got up from the couch.

“I forgot to mention it but nice shoes.”Austin said with that smirk that said he was being a smartass.
“I’m wearing a dress what more do you want?”I asked taking a bite of my food.“Remember the last time I wore heels?”
Austin laughed, “You walk perfectly fine in heels.You’re just the dumb ass that thought it was brilliant to walk on ice in them.”
“If I remember correctly I was drunk and you guys didn’t warn me or try to stop me.”
“If I remember correctly I did try to stop you.You were just too stubborn to listen to me.”He corrected me.
I rolled my eyes, “Whatever.”
“So I’m guessing by the lack of bitching that you’re getting along with your roommate.”
“He hasn’t sacrificed me yet.”I answered.
“I figured that because you’re here and alive.”He pointed out.
“We went out to eat last night and he apologized.”I finally answered his question.“I told him that he has a two week trial period.He seems dead set on making me like him.”
“This should be interesting.”Austin shrugged his shoulders, “I predict that you’re going to get laid by the end of this.”He said it so nonchalantly that it took me a little while to realize what he said.
“What?”I blurted out, gaining the attention of a few people around us.“No way.He’s not even my type.”
“Girls always say that but in reality there’s no such thing as a type. A guy is a guy; almost like a girl is a girl.It doesn’t matter to guys.”
“I’m calling bullshit on that.You have clearly admitted that you have a type.”He always said that he liked brunettes.Sure it was a general typing but it was still a type.
“I’m not like every other guy.”He answered.
“And I’m not like every other girl.”
“Clearly.”Austin scoffed.
“What’s that supposed to mean.”I asked feigning hurt.
“You’re awesome and that’s why you’re my friend.”He answered giving me a sweet yet cheesy answer.Typical Austin.

When I came home Andy and Jake were sitting on the couch.“Didn’t move much I see.”I said sitting on the couch next to Jake.Then I spotted something on Andy’s lap…a black kitten.“What is that?”I swear that there wasn’t a cat in the apartment yesterday.
“It’s a kitten.”Andy answered.“His name is Kato.Jake picked him up today.Thought you would like it.”
“I hate cats.”I said bluntly, better not to sugar coat it.
“What?”Both the guys said at the same time.
“How could you not like cats?”Andy asked petting it.“Are you allergic or something?”
“No.”I answered.
“Then what is the problem?”Andy asked clearly irritated.
“It’s a mutual thing.”I responded.“Cats don’t like me so therefore I don’t like cats.I was house sitting once for a family friend and they had this pack of gray cats.I was just standing there one day and they all came running at me trying to take my legs out from under me!”Jake and Andy started to laugh hysterically at me.“Hey it wasn’t funny, it was scary.”
“I’m sure sweeping you off of your feet wasn’t their intention.”Andy finally commented.
“How do you know?Cats are conniving and evil.”I replied stubbornly.
“But look at him, he’s so adorable.”Andy said lifting the cat up so that I could get a better look at him.He had the same colored blue eyes as Andy.And I had to admit that he was pretty adorable.
“Since you guys bought him because you thought I would like him can I rename him?Kato sounds evil and I feel that if we give him an evil name he’ll turn out evil.”The logic made sense to me.Like if you gave a kid a weird name they would be picked on constantly and then become an angsty teenager and hate you for the rest of their life.Not that the cat would exactly be picked on…
“What are you going to name him, Sir Fluffikins?”Jake asked.
“No way are we going to name the cat Sir Fluffikins.”Andy said looking at me.
“No, I wasn’t going to say that.Poor cat would grow up to have a complex or something.”I answered thinking for a second what we could name it.
“I wanted to name him Mr. Bigglesworth.”Jake shrugged his shoulders.
“I hate those movies.”I said with a disgusted look on my face.I never really liked Austin Powers because of the fact that Michael Meyers was in it.
Jake looked surprised, “That’s just un-American.”
I shrugged my shoulders, “The only thing I like from that movie is the line, ‘I’m Foxy Cleopatra and I’m a whole lotta woman’.”I answered getting all sassy with it.
Andy shook his head as Jake started laughing.
“Please don’t do that again.”Andy said looking scarred for life.
“Don’t worry I won’t.”I answered chuckling and then an idea hit me.“We should name him Andy!”
“What?”Andy clearly thought it was a bad idea.
“So that when we’re calling the cat or yelling at the cat you won’t know whether we are yelling at you or the cat.”I said excitedly.
“I like that idea.”Jake said with a smile.“Hey Andy we have some cat nip for you.”
“Damn it Andy why’d you sleep in my clothes.”I added.
“We are not naming the cat Andy.”Andy answered.
“Why not?It looks like you: black hair, blue eyes.”I pointed out.“Besides its two against one.Majority rules.”
“What if I wanted to name him Mr. Bigglesworth?”Andy asked.“Then it would be two against one.”
“Well I changed my mind.”Jake answered.“I want to name it Andy now.So therefore your vote is invalid.”
I reached over Jake and grabbed the kitten from Andy.“Hey little guy.I shall call him Andy, and he shall be mine.And he shall be my Andy.”I joked copying some of the Squishy speech Dory does in Finding Nemo.
“Please tell me you did not just quote Finding Nemo.”Andy said.
“Of course I didn’t.”I said with a smile.“So are you going to go with the flow and call him Andy, Andy.”I let out a small laugh.
He sighed, clearly in defeat, “Fine.”
I was in a nice black dress.“Crazy.”I answered and sat down on the couch next to him so that I could put on my shoes.
“Ha, ha, ha.That was so funny that I almost forgot to laugh.”He answered.
