Roomate with a killer (Jeff the killer)

I walk in through the door and take off my coat. It's almost spring but the weather is barely letting up.

"Home so early?" Jeff yells from the kitchen

"Yeah, but so are you" I yell back while taking off my boots

"I guess your right" his voice lowers as I walk closer to the kitchen. "I just didn't feel it tonight" He mumbles as he stares into the boiling water.

"Well good" I say, Now leaning against the counter. "I hope you have days like this more often"

"Why so scared of the police Jakey?" He lowers the temperature on the stove.

"Because I don't want to go to prison for harbouring a criminal"

I reply as I grab some instant noodles from the cupboard.

"Well you won't" He shoots back as if I offended him.

"I won't?" I say sarcastically as I toss him the noodles.

"No you won't" He catches the noodles "I never get caught"

"Okay, okay" I plug my phone in to the charger.

"And besides, you have more to go to jail for then just harbouring" he pours the noodles in to the boiling water.

"Hey, shut up" I grab the soy sauce from the fridge. "I don't deal drugs anymore"

"Bullshit" he stirs the noodles.

"No really" I get out two bowls from the cupboard.

"Then how do you get your money, Jakey?" He looks at me with a smirk.

"Stop calling me that"..."and I'm looking for jobs" I mumble because I know it's not completely true

"Alright alright" he puts the flavour on the noodles, stirs a bit more and pours the noodles into the bowls and slides one over to me.

I grab a spoon for myself and one for him in which I slide it to him just like he slid me bowl to me. I drizzle on some soy sauce.

I walk towards the couch and he follows closely behind. I almost hear a giggle escape his lips as I nearly drop my dinner on the floor.

I stare at his wide eyed but not nearly as wide as his, I look back at the couch and the surprisingly attractive women taking a nap upon it.

He smiles. Not his psychotic smile but the one he only shows me. I am flustered with emotion at that point, I am so annoyed with him yet I respect him in the way only a man of my age can respect another man of my age.

I look at him and mouth "really?" As I give him a fist bump.

"Her name is jane" he whispers

"What did you do to her?"

I whisper back

"What do you mean?" He says pretending to be hurt.

"Like where did you cut her?" I whisper half serious half making fun of him

"Nowhere!" He yells as quietly as he can.

"Well is she going to stay the night"? I ask letting up on the guy

"If she lasts" He whispers admitting he might kill her after all.

"Bringing your work how with you now are you?" I whisper going back to making fun of him.

"Shut up it's none of your business" I can see he's getting less concerned about her sleep as his voice starts to raise.

"It is my business" I lower my volume hoping he does the same. "I don't want to have blood all over the house"
