Our gazes stayed on each other. His eyes scanned me. They didn't show any sort of emotions. It was just a blank stare. His eyes were really beautiful .Greyish with a hint of green.. They were almost white though. He had dark brown hair. His arms and neck were covered in tattoos. It seems like each inch if his body was covered up expect his face and I have to agree that he was really handsome. He was also really tall and had a pretty huge amount of muscles. I looked at his nose which had a piercing on each side. He is such a handsome man but all his tattoos and his eyes make him really mysterious.

I stopped looking at him when Mae called me out. ,,Yeah?" I said while focusing on her. ,, Hum. So this is Jade and Jade this is Rose.'' She said introducing me to Jade. ,,Nice to meet you Rose." Jade said offering me his hand. I shook his hand and said ,, You too Jade." And smiled. Then I looked at Jades roommate again who was just looking at me without showing any emotions. I offered my hand and said ,,Rose. My name is Rose." He just shook my hand and said: ,,Stephen."

After welcoming them we sat down on the sofa and started talking. Jade seemed like a nice guy. He asked me about life and stuff ,,So Rose where did you live before? Are you from here?" I shook my head no and replied ,,Nah. I'm from L.A. just moved here for college.'' He raised his eye brow and curiously asked ,,There are really good colleges in L.A.. Why did you chose to come here?" I decided not tell the truth because it was really personal. ,,My parents and I talked and I thought it would be good if I lived on my own. I didn't wanna depend on them so I decided to go to some place which isn't too close to home." He smiled and replied ,,Oh that's cool. So how do you find New York?" ,, I just came here yesterday and we spent the whole day arranging the house and after that I was way too sleepy do I went to bed." He just shook his head and smiled. We then talked for some longer. Stephen didn't say much. He just nodded sometimes and maybe said a couple of words.

,,Do you have beer or something in the fridge?" Jade asked while watching Tv. ,,Ya there's the fridge." Mae pointed to the kitchen. ,,Guys do you also want one?" Jade shouted from the kitchen." Mae and I shouted yes. I looked at Stephen who nodded since he wanted one too. He was really not that talkative.

After a couple of beers and some other alcoholic stuff everyone started to loosen up. Even Stephen. But he still didn't say much. He mostly just commented on whatever Jade said. As you know guys start getting a bit turned on after drinking. I could feel the tension between Mae and Jade. Both of them were really drunk. They couldn't keep their hands to themselves.

,,Yo Rose. I'm going to the bedroom with Jade see ya later." She winked at me.

I just shook my head in disappoint. Why does she have to be so sexual? All I'm gonna say is stupid hormones.

After the two love birds left there was a weird silence. Stephen and I didn't say a word. Stephen was just staring at the television while I looked at him. None of us wanted to talk. But I didn't want to sit here for hours without talking. So I decided to approach him.

,, So Stephen. How are you?" I asked not knowing how to start. He rose his eyebrow looking at me then looked back at the tv. ,, I'm bored as shit. Happy?" He said in a voice which seemed annoyed yet very distant. ,,Just wanted to start a conversation. You don't seem like a talkative person." I said shrugging my shoulders. He looked at me again and he looked at me like I was some stupid person who always said something wrong. ,,First of all you don't know shit about me and I don't know you so why should I talk to you. Second of all I really don't talk to brainless people. Third of all shut the fuck up. Your voice gives my head ache." He said in an annoyed to and forming a fake smile. ,,Who do you think you're? You're the brainless piece of shit here. No one comes into my fucking apartment and tells me to shut up. Now show some respect asshole. Or else get out." I said. I was really angry. I've never seen such a person. He started laughing really hard. While laughing he said ,,Nah I'm not gonna show respect. Also what are you gonna do. You're not even 5.3. I could hurt by just blowing in your face. So stop pretending like you're some good girl who is great is something. Because you're not. I can tell by just looking at you that you're some 2 year old who is a piece of shit. I don't have to know you to tell how stupid you're. Now shut up."

My blood was boiling. I was about to explode. No one ever disrespected me this bad after just meeting. What the fuck is wrong with me. Now what the hell is wrong with him? All my anger came up and I slapped him.

He looked at me anger clearly visible in his eyes. I shrugged and got up since I wanted to go to the kitchen to get some water to calm down. I couldn't be here with him any longer. But he caught me by my wrist and pulled me closer to him. One of his hands grabbed my neck while the other one still held my wrist. He made me face him and his steal grey eyes stared into mine. Now I started get scared if him. It was terrifying to see him angry. But I'm not gonna show that. I tried to escape from his grip but it was way to strong.

,,Now listen. No one disrespects me. Especially not someone like you who doesn't know me. Also no one slaps me. I'm fucking STEPHEN JAMES. So in the future if we ever meet again which I dont hope I expect from you to show some respect. You don't know what I'm capable of. This is the first and last time you will ever disrespect me. Now be a good girl or you'll regret it. Got it?"
