The two had become great friends and began sparring together ever since. Tony invited him over for the weekend to watch a game and Selene, not having any plans as usual, planned to observe them. The deal was that Tony would pay for all the groceries for the next two weeks, if she cooked for the weekend. She thought it was a pretty good deal considering how much she usually did for free and agreed.
     
    Selene was a great cook and Tony probably wanted to impress Dorian. They were having steaks for dinner tonight, with rice pilaf and asparagus. She even made Tony's favorite Berry Cheesecake for desert. Maybe she would get some slack if she were to open her mouth tonight.
     
     
     
    ***
     
     
     
    Selene decided to wash her hair before dinner. She planned to have a drink, eat and then go to bed right away. She didn’t have the patience for another one of Tony's late night hangouts. Dorian was about to arrive and Tony was accusing her of hogging the shower again. She was too annoyed to fight back and cut her lovely hot shower short. She towel dried her damp, curly hair and got into a comfortable t-shirt and pajama shorts. Selene knew that she would probably have to get the door since Tony was still showering, and planted herself back on the couch, with her book in hand.
     
    It didn't take long for the doorbell to ring and she dreaded the fact that she might have to entertain this man alone.
     
    "Lene can you get the door?" Tony shouted from his room.
     
    "Yea, yea, yea." she muttered under her breath.
     
    Selene knew he would probably be very handsome, like all the men who came before him. She was right. Dorian was very close to Tony in form; the only difference being he was white and had a faux hawk hairstyle, when Tony was dark-skinned and bald. He had gorgeous green eyes and two piercings on his left ear. On his forehead was a tiny cut which was almost hidden by his jet black hair. He had probably just left training.
     
    "Hi!"
     
    He had a tiny mouth and when he smiled she noticed a dimple in the right corner of his mouth. He was absolutely gorgeous but she was prepared for that same let down. He wouldn't say anything interesting and even if he did, she would never have a chance with him. Still, she would be polite for Tony's sake.
     
    "Hello."
     
    "I'm Dorian... uh is Tony here?
     
    "Yeah he's in the shower, come in." she said with a tiny smile.
     
    "Thank you." and he trudged in with a black gym bag.
     
    "I think he's getting dressed... you can put your bag in here." she said, leading him to their small guest room, located next to hers. "Can I get you something to drink?"
     
    "Water, please."
     
    "Alright, I'll be right back."
     
    She turned away and headed for the kitchen, only to bump into Tony in the hallway.
     
    "You being nice?"
     
    "Nope! I called him a meathead to his face and told him he needs to read more." she muttered under her breath as she walked past, without giving him a second look.
     
    It was about time for that drink. She couldn't take anymore annoyances. Selene poured herself a glass of wine and got Dorian a tall glass of iced water. She could hear them talking from the kitchen about the day's regimen. She sighed deeply and really took in the fact that he would be there for the next two days.
     
    "It would be best to avoid them." she thought.
     
    She was getting tired of the same old routine. It's not that she hated to hear about their training. Selene was getting into fitness herself. She just wanted to not deal with Tony's mouth tonight, but the chances of that would be slim. She took a large gulp of wine and proceeded back to the living room
     
    "Hey, dinner's ready if you guys wanna eat." she said, handing Dorian the glass.
     
    “Awww man, I’m starving!" Dorian grinned. “It smells good from here too.”
     
    "Yea man, we have our own personal chef tonight. She’ll be serving us and everything." Tony said winking at Selene, as she shot him an angry look.
