The New Housemate's Secret

"Hmm, she's hot!" You remark with a teasing smile.

"Yeah she is". Rachel agrees with a smile. However you get the impression the smile is forced, and a brief pang of jealousy washes over Rachel's beautiful face.

"Enough of the catch ups". You declare, closing the lid of her Laptop "You know what evening this is?!"

Rachel whoopes. "Pizza, Junk food and Halo night!" A big grin evident on her face.

What now? Move on, or stay with Halo night?
Stay with Halo night
“I’m pretty sure that pizza counts as junk food,” you reply, with a cheeky grin.

“Well, at least we don’t deep-fry them like they do in Scotland,” Rachel immediately shoots back, “Now shut up and order me some junk food!”

“Yes ma’am,” Your reply comes as you drop down in the sofa next to Rachel and dig up your cell phone, “one deep-fried pizza coming up!”

“Great, or you could order me one non-fried with anchovies, onions, mushrooms and olives.”

“And you make fun of the Scots,” you tease Rachel, who releases a quick giggle before pretending to pout at your remark, which shows off her beautiful face, particularly as her eyes are smiling at you.

“And while you’re busy trying to stop being such a smartass,” Rachel says as she puts her laptop aside and gets up out of the sofa, “I’ll see if I can’t get that old antique of yours started.”

“Hey, don’t knock it,” You continue the joking as Rachel moves over to your TV, doing your best not to ogle how her jeans cling to her heart-shaped butt when she drops down on her haunches, “it’s a classic!”

“Classic?” Rachel looks back at you and cocks one eyebrow, grinning at you whilst you hear the sound of her clicking your old Xbox back to life, “Casablanca is a classic. War and Peace is a classic. This heap of junk is just old.”

“Yeah, yeah…” you chuckle at her comeback, before the conversation is cut short when you get through to the pizzeria.

“So,” You ask, half an hour later, in between taking bites out of your second slice of pizza, “are you planning to stop getting us killed anytime in the near future?”
