"So what do you say?" Matt asked with a tone of hope in his voice. It wasn't every day that your friend invites you for dinner at his house to meet his roommate

"well I'll have to ask Jenna and then I can tell you" I say and pick up my cup of coffee

I was getting coffee from the break room when Matthew came in and invited me to come over to his place for dinner. To meet his roommate.

He thinks it would be a good idea since we have known each other for a few months and have gotten to become friends.

I smile and go to my office and see Jenna sitting at her desk. I go up to her and ask "so Matt has invited us to come over to his place to meet his roommate and have dinner this Saturday. Want to go?"

Jenna looks up with a smirk across her face and she says "is his roommate single?"

I sigh and remind her "yes but he is a weirdo" It has been a few days since Jenna broke up with her boyfriend. Well he broke up with her to be honest and it wasn't for the best reason.

He wanted to travel the world with her but Jenna wanted to stay here with me.

She was heartbroken but she wanted to stay here and I did whatever I could to help her.

"Doesn't matter. I've dated weirder people" Jenna says smiling but her eyes have a look of sadness in them.

I sigh and tilt my head and smile "Jenna.."

but she stops me and says "Catherine I know 'love is dumb and I shouldn't have trusted him so quickly'. But I liked him and I don't care if he hurt me. I had the best past few months with him"

Jenna stands up and her face is full of anger so I don't say anything and just watch her.

"I'm sorry" I say and then go to my office and lock the door and sit at my desk and start to work. I try to ignore the painful feeling of guilt.

Saturday finally arrives after a week of awkward chats with Jenna and hard work. Then apologizing and having a girl talk that we both needed.

"Do you think he'll like my outfit?" Jenna asks spinning and looking in the mirror. She is wearing a red long sleeve ruffle dress that fitted her body well.

"ya you look amazing" I wear my black lace dress and we go out to the living room ad wear our heels. Felix meows and I go to his bowl and fill it full of food and refill his water bowl.

"Hey don't you think it's a bit clichéd?" I ask Jenna while filling Felix's water bowl

"what is?" Jenna asks while putting on her heels

"Imagine that I'm the main character and you were the friend character or supporting role" I say

Jenna stands and thinks about it for a seconds and then nods. I continue and say "well I would be either too focused on my job or heartbroken. You would do whatever you can to change me. Doesn't that feel like how we are right now?"

Jenna stares at me and laughs and says "I never try to change you, I just try to help you. I know that someday you will fall I love. But you still might be a cynical romantic.

Plus everyone is the main character in their own life" I smile and think maybe she's right.

We then leave the house and wait in the elevator when Jenna asks 'so if you are the main character. Then isn't Matthew your love interest?"

I smirk and say "ya I guess he could be a love interest but that's all he is, a love interest, he isn't my boyfriend."

Jenna sighs and she says something under her breath but I can't hear it so I ignore it.

We get to the car and we begin our journey to the roommates place.

"Hey Catherine?" I look at her from the side of my eye

"if you are the main character then I'm not that important, huh?" Jenna asks in a sad tone

"you are the most important person in my world, don't you dare forget that" I say in an irritated tone.

Jenna has always thought that she was never important to anyone. That's why she tries to find someone who will treat her like a goddess. but it never works out.

She would even get insecure of her looks and her body because she would read magazines full of models and such. But she never remembers that she is the most important person to me.

We finally reach the house and we walk up to the front door and we wait.

I see Jenna getting nervous from the corner from my eyes so I kiss her on the cheek to mess with her and she starts blushing. She grabs her cheeks and yells at me but while yelling Matthew and Jeremy open the door.

Jenna realizes and looks down embarrassed. I smile and say "Thank you for inviting my 'girlfriend'. I to your house for dinner.

My name is Catherine Chapman" I gesture towards Jenna "and this is my friend, Jenna Olive"

Jenna lifts up her hand and waves and smile. She slaps my hand and they invite us in.

Their home is quite big for 2 bachelors but then I remember that Jeremy is a doctor and Matthew's dad is pretty rich. They lead us to the dining room and on the table is a variety of food and pretty well made considering 2 oafs made it.

Jenna and I sit next to each other and across from me, Matthew sits and across from Jenna, Jeremy sits.

We chat and the entire time Jeremy kept flirting with Jenna. Jenna would get embarrassed and Matthew looked quite nervous.

I would try to get him out of his comfort zone just for fun.

Dinner wasn't too eventful. But I found out that Jeremy is actually quite an intelligent person.

He is definitely a player but in the end he got Jenna's number. Matthew and I got to know more about each other and after a few drinks; he became more lively and fun.

I usually never go out for dinner with anyone so I felt a bit uncomfortable at first. But as the night continued I started having fun.

Jeremy and Matthew's friendship kind of reminded me of Jenna and my friendship. We are opposites but opposites do attract.

Matthew and I are opposites too; does that explain why he and I are so friendly with each other? Well aren't friendly, I am his boss so I guess it's more of a work relationship than a personal relationship

I do like Matthew, almost like I want to shelter him, that makes sense right? Since I'm his boss and a boss should always protect their employees.

I know that he has a crush on me so I'm trying not to lead him on since I have no interest in going out with him. I wouldn't mind having a 'just physical' relationship but with a guy like him, I'm sure it wouldn't work out.

I know how it would end up. He and I will start getting physical, he will start falling in love with me.

I might even fall in love with him but that's unlikely.

He'll want more. When I can't give him more he'll leave or I will start getting scared of the idea of him leaving me and I'll run.

In the end one of us will run away, leaving the other heart broken. Relationships are like that; you either break up or spend the rest of your lives with each other.

Both of those options suck anyway.

Marriage is just 'let's hangout with each other until we fall out of love or until one of us dies'
