jesters and facial expressions.   Each of them either received a slap on the
arm or the middle finger directed their way.  
    Derek came out from the bedroom and went straight to the
kitchen to grab a beer.   As he walked out
opening his beer, he asked Roni, “Have you told them the big news?”   He handed her a beer as he took a seat in the
chair, since the girls had commandeered the couch.  
    “Fuck, don’t tell us you two are getting married!” Phin
spoke with a childish disgust.
    Gracey grabbed Roni’s left hand and all the girls leaned
in to see the ring.   Only there was no
ring.   “Obviously, you can calm down
Phin.   No ring, no wedding.”   Gracey laughed.
    “Even worse, is she pregnant?”   Gavin chimed in making a face.  
    “You two are worse than my kindergarteners!”   Izzy laughed.   “How about you let Derek finish.”  
    Derek and Roni exchanged a look.   Alex was a little worried that Gavin was
actually correct and that there was going to be a little Derek running around
soon.   God help the computer world.  
    Roni rubbed her stomach, and smiled up at Gavin
sweetly.   Before they could truly panic
on behalf of Derek, she started laughing and threw a pillow at Gavin.   “No, asswipe, I’m not pregnant. First clue,
I’m not pregnant would be the beer in my hand, idiot. We’re moving in
together!”  
    “No wedding, no babies, I’m good with that decision.”   Phin remarked, nodding contently.  
    “And it was your approval we were most looking for, douchebag.”   Derek responded with laughter.  
    The girls all squealed and chatted at a level, he was
certain only dogs could hear.   He caught
words now and then…..redecorate…color….new roommate…moving.   Wait new roommate?   That’s right Izzy would either need a new
roommate or she would need to move.   How can I work this to my advantage?  

 
 

Chapter Five
    Moving?   I don’t want to move.   Yes, Izzy knew her inner
thoughts were those of a petulant child, but she really didn’t want to
move.   Sure, she figured that at some
point her and Roni would go their separate ways.   She even knew it was going to be coming in
the next few months, since Roni and Derek had become so close.   Yet, she was still shocked by their
announcement last night that they were going to be moving in together at the
end of Roni and Izzy’s lease which was in less than a month.  
    Crap, I need to find a place ASAP .   Izzy finished stretching
her legs on that thought, and started her run around Wash Park.   With the Kongos blaring in her ears, she ran
to escape all her inner thoughts.   Not
only did she have to find a place to live since her roommate had gone and
fallen in love.   She also had to deal the
feelings the kiss from Alex had brought on last night.   Over the last six months he had been pursuing
her, or rather trying to get her back into bed, quietly and relentlessly.   Last night his tenderness had tempted her for
more than any of his cocky ‘every woman wants me’ attitude ever had.  
    Picking up the pace, she fought not to think about
him.   I
hate him!   Why am I even thinking about
him!   Izzy chastised herself.     The
man irritated her, plain and simple.   Of
course with Roni and Derek together, Izzy knew she would have to find a way to
get along with the cocky bastard.   They
would be undoubtedly spending countless more evenings together.  
    Maybe she needed to start dating someone seriously.   Having a boyfriend would be a deterrent for
Alex, right?   She snorted a little at the
thought.   Two problems with her plan came
to mind immediately.   First, she hadn’t
met a man in over a year that sparked even a tiny spark of interest in
her.   Secondly, Alex would probably see
her having a boyfriend as even more of a challenge and pursue her even more
relentlessly.  
    Every single time they went out as a group, Alex somehow
managed to get her alone and cornered.   Sometimes he
