While on my morning run, I decide to accept Jasmine into my life and not hide in my room when she comes over. Tracey thinks I should hang out with Jer's girlfriends one on one to get to know them more. Stupid idea but smart too. If I want to know how they feel about this whole situation, I'm going to need alone time with them. Away from Jeremy, so they can be honest. First I'll have to gain their trust, I've known Penelope longer so all I got to do is work on Jasmine. She shouldn't be hard.

I stop at the Starbucks on campus for a coffee and run into Jasmine. She's sitting with a couple other girls. We make eye contact and I wave to her.

"Hey Angie, on your run?" Jasmine asks when I come up to her table.

"Yuppers. Just grabbing a coffee now."

"Sweet!" We share a smile and she looks at the girls sharing the table. "These are my photography/ journalist friends. This is my boyfriend's roommate."

"You're Jeremy Duncan's roommate?" The one on Jasmine's right asks.

"That's me."

"I don't know who's luckier. You or Jas."

Jasmine rotates her head to her friend and gives her a quick look.

I bite my lip and snort. "It's not me, I have to deal with him 24/7." If you mean I got a place that is cheap and near the campus then yes, I'm lucky. But if you meant that I am roommates with a man-whore then I'm not.

Jer has sort of a reputation around campus for being a player. He gets around and it's the pretty, rich girls that he goes after. Before Penelope, I heard through Tracey's friends, that Jeremy was dating some daughter of a famous football player. I can't remember what one but yeah. Rich, pretty and most likely popular. Those are the types of girls he dates. Penelope is pretty, she's a model that comes from a wealthy family. And now Jasmine, who is also gorgeous and looks like she comes from a rich family too. It's easy to tell by her nice clothes and very expensive looking camera. I wonder what he was like in high school.

"We are both lucky in our own ways." Jasmine says with pursed lips and she rests her elbows on the table.

Sure... When did she become the diplomat? It's obviously a joke. Right? I clear my throat. "Well it was good to see you Jas, but I got to get ready for work. We should hang out sometime though."

She grins at me. "Yes, that would be awesome."

When I get home from work, I step into the beginning of a porno. What the hell? I do not need to see this. Jeremy told me he was going over to Jasmine's tonight. Why are they here?

They're lip-locked on the couch with their shirts off and Jer's pants are unbuttoned. She has her bra on, thank god. I'm just glad I didn't come home later or I would have seen too much. From this angle, I can only see Jeremy now. It's nights like these where I miss having a boyfriend... it's also nights like these where I get a little jealous of Jeremy.

I shut the door loudly and his head shoots up. His mouth hangs open as we stare at each other then Jasmine sits up.

"Oh hey Angela. How are you?" Her lips stretch up into what I can only describe as an evil one. She doesn't even bother to cover herself up.

"Fine." I clear my throat while taking my shoes off. "I thought you guys were hanging at your place?"

"Yeah, but Jasmine's internet went out and we wanted to watch that new movie that came out on Netflix." Jeremy explains as he zips up his pants. He tosses a shirt to Jas as I walk over to the fridge. Yeah put a shirt on girl, you have people over.

"Love and Monsters?" I wanted to watch that too, it looked good.

"Yeah." Jeremy answers while pulling his shirt on. "You want to watch with us?"

Jasmine perks up and turns to him. "Oh I'm sure she would rather chill in her room. Right?" She looks to me with wide eyes.

No? Why would she think that? I don't mind hanging with them... She's acting weird. My brows knit together as I throw some leftovers into the microwave. "No, I'm okay watching it with you guys. I want to see it too."

"Sweet, pop a squat Vargas."

Once my food is done heating up, I step over to the couch. Jasmine has her body pushed up against Jeremy, cornering him between the arm and her. Jeez, give the man some room.

I would rather sit next to Jer but Jasmine pats the cushion next to her so I plant my ass down.

During the entire movie, Jasmine was all over Jeremy. She was even kissing him on the neck and running her hands all over his thighs and stomach. It was hard not to notice. I could also feel her gaze glance on me a few times but I kept my eyes glued to the tv. Something is up with her, unless this is how she usually is with him. She's pretty clingy. Penelope isn't even like this when we watch movies together... Girls are weird. Guys I can understand, they are easy.

While Jer takes Jasmine home, I clean up the space and find a condom still in it's wrapper. I don't know why but seeing that makes me smile and my nose crinkle at the same time. After today, for some reason I get an off-putting feeling from Jas.

Tracey is an amazing listener and my only friend in Texas right now. Since we met she's always wanted to know the juicey details of living with my roommate. Short story short, she likes to gossip. That is how our friendship grew but she has become a good friend to me. She will want to know what's going on.

Last night I texted her about everything and she said she would meet me on my lunch break to talk more about it.

"Okay Ange, give me the tea. What happened now?"

"I don't know..." I rub the top of my hand, gazing off to the side. We are sitting at one of the little tables that are set out on the patio. It's another gorgeous day with clear blue skies. "I'm getting weird vibes from Jasmine."

"Weird how?"

"Well like I said yesterday I ran into her and a couple of her friends. One of them made a remark on us being lucky. Then after I came home from work, I caught them making out on the couch. Jeremy told me that he wasn't going to be home."

"What's weird about that? They're just making out."

"That's the thing, Jer keeps that kind of stuff in his bedroom. They were practically about to fuck. Her shirt was off, his pants were unzipped. Jasmine didn't even cover herself up when I walked in."

"Do you think she's jealous of you?"

Well now I do... "What could she be jealous of though? I'm the roommate."

She lifts an eyebrow as she smiles at me. "Maybe she's not okay with him having a pretty girl roommate and a girlfriend."

"You really think so?"

"Why else would she act like that?"

Jealousy can make people do crazy things and girls get jealous over the littlest things too. "She's become a little green goblin." I comment before taking a sip.

Trace laughs. "It's green-eyed monster."

"Same thing." I wave my hand to the side. "What do I do?"

"Get to know her more and keep a distance from Jeremy. You got to show her that there's nothing to be jealous of." She's right, I have no intentions of being with Jeremy. If I did, I would've made it clear already.

"You are an awesome friend and I love you."

"I know." She smiles back. "Love you too."
