"No..."

"No..." Sara replies just as the elevator door opens. "I was being selfish."

"Are you sure?" you ask.

"Yeah, go enjoy your dinner date!" she sniffs, wiping her wet eyes.

"Okay, thanks," you say as you stand in front of Lisa's apartment door and watch your roommate walk past you to go back to the apartment. Sara gives you a quick look with a weak smile before going inside.

You turn around and knock on Lisa's door and your neighbor immediately opens it.

"Oh, hey," you smile.

"Hey," she smiles back, looking down the hall to see if Sara is around. "Come on in!"

"Thanks!" You glance back at your apartment door before hurrying inside, handing Lisa the shopping bag. "Here's the rest of the groceries."

"Thanks!" she cheerily takes the groceries and heads to the kitchen. "Have a seat at the couch."

"Do you need help?"

"No, I'm fine! Remember, I invited you to dinner," she replies as she unpacks the vegetables. "You're my guest, so make yourself at home."

You were about to make a joke that making yourself at home would involve fucking her but since she had already teased about it you keep your mouth shut and sit down.

"Tea?" she asks from kitchen.

"Yes, please!" you yell back.

She comes out, bringing out a teacup and teapot, and places the teacup down on the coffee table before pouring the tea for you.

"Thank you," you smile and take a sip of the jasmine tea.

"Help yourself to some more," she suggests, placing the teapot down on a woven bamboo teapot coaster. "Also, here's the remote. Watch tv, Youtube, or Netflix while I make dinner."

"Thanks!" You watch her head back to the kitchen before turning your attention to the television and turn on the Youtube app, curious what kind of videos she watches.

Lots of cat videos. Cooking shows. K-pop music videos.

"It smells great!" you note as you watch a video of two fat cats lounging around.

"Thanks! It should be ready in... fifteen minutes?" she shouts back.

"Okay," you reply back then notice an interesting video in her watched history.
