Subject: Finding A Flat

Deb,

I know you sent me an email months ago about looking for places since I'd chosen not to renew my lease at Chelsea Harbor.  I'm in America on tour as of right now and that won't be possible, but I've acquired a flatmate so he'll be looking, probably with some mates of his.  We're both on a bit of a time limit as far as moving goes, but you know what I need as far as parking and security.  My flatmate's name is Irial Dorian, and his only two requests are proximity to the tube and a kitchen that isn't "bizarrely colored".  You know my budget, don't let him talk you down on price point. It's really no problem.

Cris Emerson and Best mate, Dorian, shacking up?

Just last week, Cris Emerson spent his three day break in tour flying back to London to see his best mate, Dorian Grey II, a third year student at Middlesex University and a soon-to-be radio dj for BBC Radio 1.  Despite not being able to see his face, Cris and his best friend were pictured from across the room embracing after Dorian received his diploma.  Now rumors are flying around that the popstar who's set to move out of his million dollar pad on Chelsea Harbor just this week is not only moving further into Central London but has also acquired a flatmate in the form of one Dorian who announced via Twitter, "at a loss for a chef in Sept since my new flatmate will still be on tour."  The comment only fueled rumors that the pair are more than just friends and when Emerson was asked about what his mate's boyfriend thought about the pair moving in together, he said, "he's really secure in their relationship and knows Dorian would never betray him.  I've just always wanted a flatmate, and Dorian was looking for one.  It just kind of happened."

"Happy birthday, love, I'm spending you money!"   

"Oh, have you finally found a place then?"  Crispin asked, subdued and utterly unconcerned about Irial's not quite a joke regarding money.   

Irial sighed, puckering his lips as he eyes danced around the interior of the flat before saying petulantly, "No."   

"Time limit," Crispin chastised, "remember when I said that?"   

"Remember who waited two and half months before asking me to move in and look at flats for us while you were jet-setting around America?"   

"It's hardly jet-setting," Crispin pouted.  "It's not like I get to do anything except perform."   

"And go out on dates with Alina Rosen," Irial pointed out, running his finger over the pristine marble countertop.  He could live with this kitchen...could live in this flat.
