"Well I'm the guy that knows her." He looks at me.

"Are you her boyfriend?" Kirsten asks.

"No no no. Not at all." He frowns. Well that makes me feel a lot better about myself.

"Well who are you and why do you have her phone?"

"I'm sorry but Ashley can't come to the phone right now so I'll tell her you called." He hangs up and hands me the phone.

"You're welcome." He says as if I'm supposed to thank him.

"I honestly don't think you deserve a thank you." I cross my arms.

"I just saved your life."

"Actually you just saved me from a phone call. All I had to do was not answer, which I was going to do anyway." I grab the milk and put it in the refrigerator.

"Whatever, a thank you would have still been appreciated." He goes to his room and leaves me to put the groceries away. A perfect example of why he's annoying. I put everything else away and go to my room. I see John's calling me and I smile.

"Hello." I smile and answer.

"Hey Ashley." He laughs.

"Hi John how are you?"

"I'm good. I should be asking you that."

"Well I'm actually great."

"That's good. Have you found another job?"

"No."

"So you're never moving out of that apartment of yours are you?" I laugh because he doesn't know I already moved out.

"Who's that?" Jake stops while walking by.

"Just one of my old co-workers." I smile.

"Did you put everything up downstairs?"

"Yes."

"You better have because if I go downstairs and see one thing on the counter or table, I'm taking everything out and you'll put it back in."

"Anything you say."

"What was that?"

"Anything you say master." I roll my eyes.

"Master. I like that." He smiles and walks away.

"So you moved on from me already?" John asks.

"Oh no it's not like that. He's definitely not my boyfriend." I shake my head repeatedly even though John can't see me.

"So who is he? Your master?"

"Actually he's my roommate."

"He moved in with you? What about your other roommate?"

"Actually I moved in with him."

"Oh how is it?"

"Well I don't pay any bills or anything right now so I guess that's nice. I just do things around the house while he's working. He's pretty rich so yea."

"Rich like six figures or?"

"Rich as in billionaire. He might be a trillionaire next year or month. If that's even a word."

"I don't think it is but wow! You're living good aren't you?"

"I would like to think so."

"So you think he's cute or anything?"
