     After Sam left the room, Joy was boiling out with rage. She was just about to follow him and give him a piece of her mind but her cell phone started to ring.

    She picked it up and the caller was Rosie.

Joy: Hey....
Rosie: Hey girl where is your promise to call me everyday?
Joy: It's my first day Rosie....
Rosie: Well yeah it is but it's now 11:30 in the morning, so tell me how is everything?
Joy: Good.... no actually nothing's good....
Rosie: What?! Why?!
Joy: Because I have to share my apartment with a real dick....
Rosie: What dick? You never told me you was sharing that beautiful apartment.
Joy: Because I wasn't....

    Joy told Rosie everything that was happening with her since she reached San Francisco yesterday including her conversation with Sam this morning.

Rosie: Girl... for real?
Joy: Yeah... and the most annoying thing is that I can't do anything about it since he has a legal contract with her like mine.
Rosie: So what's the name of this dick?
Joy: Name?!.... actually I don't know.....
Rosie: Really?... go find out his name and find out a way to get rid of him cause girl I want to sleep in a comfortable bed when I visit you in San Francisco. Do you get me?
Joy: I do.... I'll go see what I can do about this son of a bitch
Rosie: Good luck girl... don't forget to call me back and tell me everything
Joy: Ok

    After hanging up the phone with Rosie, Joy made her way towards Sam's bed room and knocked on the door.

Sam: What do you want?
Joy: To talk....

    Sam opened the door and stared at her.

Sam: Do you want to talk or fight?
Joy: Believe it or not I want to talk. I want to find some solution to this situation so I can move on with my life and live in peace. I'm starting my new job tomorrow and I want my mind clear
Sam: Me too. Let's go to the living room and talk

    They went back to the living room and sat opposite to each other.

Joy: Please just go and find another place for yourself
Sam: I wish I could... but this apartment suits me in every way and I can't give that up
Joy: ......
Sam: Look let's just make a compromise. We'll live here together but without bothering each other. I promise I won't bother you in anyway I'll stay in my room all the time. So what do you say?
Joy: ......
Sam: Besides it's a two bedroom apartment.... you won't be using the other bedroom anyways.....
Joy: But I might need it....
Sam: For what?
Joy: For my family and friends when they come to visit....
Sam: Ok... what will happen is I'll leave the room to them and I'll sleep on the couch
Joy: You would do that.... really?
Sam: I promise... so do we have a deal?
Joy: Yes..... on one condition?
Sam: What is it?
Joy: I want my room back.... the room you're sleeping in....
Sam: Why? Just use the other room
Joy: No, I want this room, I saw it first... and choose it first....
Sam: The other room is very good
Joy: Yeah I know that's why I'm offering it to you.... see I'm a peace maker.... besides it more feminine, and the other one is more masculine with all that blue

 besides it more feminine, and the other one is more masculine with all that blue
