"i thought you were a guy, that's why we even answered your craigslist offer!"
"well i look like a little boy so i think that's good enough, am i right?"

i knew it was common to hate a holiday filled with love and that was for the many reasons of it being a reminder why people couldn't make a connection with another individual. yet that was never the case for me, i had always made it a time with cliche moments and emotions of pure infatuation. in fact, i enjoyed it all too much with the factors of teddy bears bigger than me and the sweets. however i knew that this valentine's day it would be different, that the day would no longer hold love but be a reminder of the time where it use to be with someone else.
so for this point i had decided to try out the options of hatred toward the day and just the desire for a quick connection. "i want to get laid tonight. like i mean just fast intercourse." i get out when sipping on my coffee from the morning as all of my roommates now eye me with confusion from the sudden conclusion.
"oh god no joey, of all days." ethan whines as i furrow my brows now as the man sits in front of me on the stool of the island. a bagel in front of him that he bites on from time to time.
"and how come? it's v-day, isn't it the best time?" i question now with muddled thoughts as he brushes me off with his hand. ethan begins to shake his head and that only causes his brother to groan now when he leans on the counter beside me.
"oh no, now he's going to start. joey look what you did." he informs annoyed as i scoff now before the man in front of us speaks up.
"valentine's day is just filled with lonely people who want a quick fuck. and unless if you want a needy stranger calling you next morning expecting to get dinner or something, then no. it's not perfect, joey." ethan explains as i shake my head when taking in his words that had caused me to realize he had done this before. "and don't get me started on this one girl this one year-"
"that story sounds like some money will end up in the douchebag jar so i suggest you don't do that." troy now interrupts as the rest of us nod in agreement as he rolls his eyes when i sigh now. i had now placed my mug in the sink and turned back around to everyone else as i hold a frown.
"guys can't we just pretend that's not going to happen tonight to me because this is a big deal to me. it's my first valentine's day without thomas and i want it to be different. i mean i'm even feeling twirly and everything." i ramble on as grayson now snorts from my response as my eyes land on him.
"twirly? what is that like a code word for horny?" he asks as i raise a brow now when placing a finger to my chin in thought.
"maybe like a mix of that and flirty." i state as he nods understanding before we get out of that side conversation when i continue on with my plea of going out. "but guys, please for me?" i beg as they all groan before troy shakes his head first.
"as interesting as that sounds, i got work. not everyone has weekends off." he informs as i pout now when looking between the two boys as i wait for their voices.
