"I'm not dating anyone."

"I'm not dating anyone," you assert but Sara looks past you over to your Chinese neighbor.

"I offered to make dinner for Mark yesterday morning," Lisa pipes up.

"Did you say yes?" Sara asks you.

You look at both girls before nodding.

"So why did you make dinner tonight then?" Jen asks.

"Because I didn't want to upset Sara," you answer, avoiding the redhead's stare.

"Upset me?" Sara barks. "Why would I be upset?"

"You're upset now," Alice notes.

"That's because I'm being accused of..."

"You do have a temper, y'know," Jen interrupts jeeringly.

"I do not!" Sara snaps.

"You're so flustered right now your pale skin is almost as red as your hair!" Alice laughs.

You grab hold of Sara's shoulder before she could leap across the table at your brunette roommate.

"Do you have a problem with me having a dinner date with Lisa?" you ask Sara.

Sara glances over at your neighbor and looks at you. "Maybe."

"I thought we had agreed we were just friends," you pause to look around the table before continuing, "who happen to have sex after getting drunk..."

"Yeah but..." she mutters.

"But you are okay if Mark fucks us all after dinner?" Lisa asks bluntly.

"That's different -- we're all drunk from the wine!" Sara retorts. "Sharing Mark's cock is just sex but him with just one girl is different..."

Her words confirms to you that her jealousy appear to stem from the fact that she does have an attraction to you beyond just being friends with benefits.

"What if I had a simple coffee date with Lisa?" you ask glancing over at your neighbor, who smiles back at you.

"I guess that's okay," Sara mutters.

"Thanks," Lisa smiles.

"I'm not jealous or possessive, okay?" Sara explains. "I just don't want to see Mark hurt again!"

"I promise I won't hurt him," Lisa assures.

"Thank you for your concern," you smile at her and lean over to give her a kiss on the cheek. "Okay, now let's finish dinner so we can have dessert!"

The girls cheer.
