As Eleanor placed her key in the deadbolt lock of the door that opened her apartment, her nose instantly caught wind of an amazing smell. Her stomach growled loudly as she pushed the door open. “Molly? What is that amazing smell?” Eleanor placed her keys and purse on the table beside the door and walked in to the kitchen to find her roommate in yoga pants and a loose tee shirt. She had ear buds in and was dancing in front of the sink. Eleanor silently walked over behind Molly and pulled out her ear buds. Suddenly, a mix of hip hop and house music flooded the kitchen, as the music was so loud from her iPod. Molly jumped and swung around in time to see her roommate and to keep from catching Eleanor’s jaw in a half-hearted right hook. She sagged against the sink, “Ellie, geez you scared me. I didn’t hear you come in. How was your day?” “It was fine. Class, work… you know, same thing, different day. What are you making Mol? It smells amazing.” Molly smiled and said, “Meatloaf. It’s my mom’s recipe. There are also mashed potatoes, salad, and garlic green beans.” “That sounds like heaven. Do we have enough for a third?” Molly looked at Ellie inquisitively and slightly cocked her head to the side with a hint of a smile on her lips. “I suppose, why? Who did you invite over for dinner?” Ellie shifted her weight, looking excited and nervous at the same time. “Well, almanbahis şikayet I ran in to Caleb today at the coffee shop on campus, and he asked about you. I told him the basics, but he was really intrusive on what you have been up to. To be honest, Molly, ever since you broke things off with Seth, you’ve become kind of a hermit. I figured if we had company, especially Caleb, it might just snap you out of your funk, considering how close we all used to be.” “Ell, I love you, but please don’t worry about me. I am fine. Although, you may be right. A trio dinner could be exactly what I need to help me perk up.” *** Caleb knocked on the door at seven sharp, just as Ellie had told him to. He was a little nervous to see Molly again, especially after how hard her break up with Seth was on her. He always knew that it wouldn’t work out, but he didn’t say anything because Molly would never believe him, especially about Seth’s cheating habit. He didn’t want to watch his best friend get hurt, so he distanced himself as much as possible. When Ellie answered the door, Caleb looked down at her tiny frame. With her standing at 5’2, it was sometimes funny to see them together, as he was 6’3 and a basketball player. He had baby blue eyes and muscles for days. Many women flirted and hit on him all the time, but he had decided a long time ago that Ellie was almanbahis canlı casino the girl for him. “Caleb! It is so great to see you!” “You too Ellie.” He bent down and picked her up like old times, and she wrapped her legs around his waist and her arms around his neck in a bear hug. He slowly walked in the apartment, with Ellie still attached like a spider monkey and nudged the door shut with his foot. She giggled, let go, and hopped down. Ellie skipped into the kitchen, and he followed close behind. Molly walked over to Caleb and gave him a big hug and a kiss on the cheek. “Caleb, it’s good to see you. It’s been a while.” *** They sat down at the table for dinner, and Molly couldn’t help but notice how Caleb would make minimal conversation with her, but the majority of his attention was directed towards Ellie and it was definitely reciprocated. They flirted back and forth all during dinner, while still managing to involve Molly. Truth be told, Molly was looking forward to classes tomorrow. This had been the longest week of her life. Typically, she looked forward to spring break, but this year it was torture. With her and Seth being kaput, it was rough not being able to stick to her schedule of school and work every day. She couldn’t wait to get back to her classes, especially her Art History class. Mainly because it was her favorite almanbahis casino class, but also because she happened to have a major crush on her teacher, Professor Scott. He was fresh out of Grad school, young and smoking hot. It was a miracle she was carrying an A in the class, because she spent more time daydreaming than listening to his lectures. She really had to hustle to do well on her homework and tests to keep her grade high. Molly was naturally smart and a good student, but when it came to having to look at Colin Scott three days a week while he lectured about eighteenth century art, she had her work cut out for her. He was 6’3 to her 5’6, and was lean and hard everywhere she was soft. Most days he would come to class with wet hair, and smelled of chlorine. It was obvious he was an avid swimmer and had the body to prove it. She couldn’t help but think about how grateful she was that tonight was Sunday and classes would finally begin again tomorrow. Post break up with Seth, Ellie had really been her second shadow. Tonight was the first time she had a little bit of space and time to think, as Caleb was occupying her. She loved him for that, he had always been good to them both, but it was beyond obvious that he was more into Ellie than just being her friend. During a late night and several bottles of wine, she finally admitted to Molly that she returned his feelings, but was afraid of ruining the friendship in the process, so she never acted on them. Molly tuned back in to the conversation at the dinner table just in time to hear Caleb suggest to Ellie that they go out sometime. That was a new development.
