Shower and breakfast

You tuck the note away in your suitcase, thinking you'll have to dispose of it soon. Grabbing your bathrobe and shaving gear you open the door and head to the bathroom. Your roommate's door is shut and for a moment you wonder how his date went, and whether he has the hot young music teacher tucked up with him. You shake your head with a smile as you close the bathroom door.

Ten minutes later you are showered and wide awake, feeling immensely refreshed and more than a little proud of your unexpected sexual prowess with Grace last night. Humming, you dress and go downstairs to find your roommate at the kitchen table drinking coffee and looking at his phone, an empty plate by his side.

"Oh hey Mason," he greets you. "I made coffee, and I was going to wake you to see if you wanted breakfast but I decided to let you sleep."

"Thanks," you say, helping yourself to coffee. "I'm not much for breakfast. I'll just make some toast."

"Best meal of the day," he laughs.

"I used to think so too," you chuckle, sitting down with your coffee. "How was your date?"

"Good. Well it wasn't really a date, just seeing her band play. They're good. Really good in fact."

"Ms. Thorpe seems like a interesting person," you say as you sip your coffee. "I got the feeling she was interested in you."

He looks slightly surprised then shakes his head in negation. "Nah I don't think so. We just got talking, about music and stuff, and she asked me to come watch. She is pretty hot though," he adds thoughtfully.

"Yeah, just a little," you laugh. "Any hotter and she'd set the woods on fire."

He smiles, nodding his head ruefully. "Yeah, that's very true. So what's on your agenda for today? I'm thinking of going in to town and buying a car. Something cheap, just to get around. It's too long a hike to town from here. Want to come along? You don't have a car either, right?"

You consider the idea. A car would give you some mobility and more opportunities to escape the temptations that Pink Rose Academy keeps throwing in front of you. And if you spent the morning looking for cars it would keep Grace away from you, maybe giving her a chance to cool down.

"Sure I'm in," you tell him.
