"Yes, you are." Jade chuckled as the door creaked open and Sophie walked in.

"Phew… What a day." Sophie sighed, kicking off her shoes and pulling her hair out of a tight ponytail. "I almost wish I could quit this job and freelance like you do, Jade."

Sophie's head shot up at the new voice and turned to look at Raven. “Oh, sorry. I didn't know you had company.”

“It’s alright, Soph. I was actually hoping you’d get to meet.” Jade smirked a little. “Raven, this is my roommate Sophie. Sophie, this is Raven. She helped me out earlier today.” she introduced the two, wondering if and how to mention that they also worked together.

“Jade… Are you secretly a photographer for a supermodel agency or something?” she asked, raising a brow at her roommate without taking her eyes off Raven.

“What? Oh, come on, Soph. You know what I get paid for. Why would you think that?”

“Well, it may be the fact that the first two friends that you actually bring home, who I didn't set you up with, and just hang out with are… I mean first you have that fine hunk that you are dating. And don't try to convince me that you're not, otherwise I might try to make a move.” Sophie smirked, giving Jade a wink. “And now, you expect me to believe that you just randomly ran into this knockout?” she added as she looked at Raven, her voice somewhere between teasing and sarcastic even though her compliments were honest.

“It’s not like that.” Jade protested as a blush warmed her cheeks.

“Oh, really?” Sophie smirked, raising a brow. “Because, in my experience, you don't stay over at guys house for two full days and not call it dating… Not to mention spending the night on two separate occasions.”

Jade groaned at her roommate's comments, her blush darkening. “It… Ok. The first time was because I had an emergency and he was close by. I stayed on the couch.” she explained as she tried to remember if it really was just the two nights Sophie mentioned or if it was actually three…

“And the second? When you had me bring you some pj's and a fresh set of clothes?” Sophie encouraged with a growing smirk.

“I told you about that! He was sick and… I wanted to keep an eye on him.” Jade defended a little indignant.

“My thoughts exactly, Ray-ray.” Sophie smirked, the nickname just flowing off her lips.

“It’s the truth! And I don't have to prove a thing to either of you.” Jade almost growled, growing annoyed by the teasing.

Jade sighed, calming down, and shook her head. “I… I'm not keeping him a secret. It's just complicated.”

“Why? Because you two were “rivals at work” for a few years?” Sophie asked. “Look if you can be as close as you are with him, then I don't get what the big deal is.”

Raven's brows drew together a little at the rivals part, wondering what that could mean. Jade was a freelancer, she had thought, though maybe she was wrong.

“It’s really not as easy as you think it sounds, Sophie. Now just drop it.” Jade sighed as she rubbed her forehead slightly.

“Fine.” Sophie resigned, drawing out the word in clear annoyance. “But just for now. I’ll get answers someday.” she promised as she flopped down on the couch beside Raven.

Sophie smiled back and winked playfully at Raven.

Jade sighed a little, slightly relieved that the topic of “her boyfriend” had been dropped… for now. With Sophie, it was only a matter of time before she brought him up again.

“Since you are the guest, you can pick.” Jade shrugged politely.

“What were you guys playing before I walked in?” Sophie asked, raising a brow at the deck of cards though she was still smiling at Raven.
