don’t know, I have met many guys like him and they are all just the same.” Charlie wasn’t going to argue with her. They had known each other for a long time and she knew that Lou had her own reasons. There was nothing she could do but agree and go on. Charlie knew Phil pretty well since they had a couple of classes together and he had never acted out of the way with her. *** The two went to do their weekly shopping and though they had lived together for several years, they still were so different. Charlie filled the cart up with all of her fancy foods, as Lou called it. She had to buy everything organic and though she could afford it, Lou never did have five dollars to drop on a couple of apples. She was content to eat the pesticides if they were cheaper. When they got to the checkout, Charlie tried to pay for it all, but Lou refused and paid her half for the groceries. They then stopped at a small art shop in town and Charlie loaded up on more art supplies. It was her passion and sometimes Lou wished that she had something that she felt so strongly about. All she wanted to do was be a lawyer to help people, but sometimes she wished she had a hobby as well. She needed some kind of creative outlet. “So I talked to the Art teacher and she said you could sit in if you wanted to. All you have to do is bring in your own supplies.” “Really?” That was the best news she had heard all day. While she needed the law class for her Masters, she didn’t for her Bachelors and she could always just take the class later. “I think I might actually take you up on it.” “Good, you should. We have another class Monday.” “What would I need to bring?” Charlie didn’t answer her, but started to put more supplies in the basket that Lou was carrying. By the time they were through, they had spent more money on paints than food and were loaded down on their way to the apartment. It was one of the only times that Lou wished that she had a car on campus. “Hey Charlie. Where are your overalls?” Charlie looked back and smiled at her friend Phil. “Hey hun. What are you doing up before noon?” “Got a game today, so I didn’t drink much last night.” “I was over at our house last night. It was pretty crazy. I didn’t see you there though.” “I was keeping a low profile. You know how it is.” He was looking over at her friend and it took a minute for him to realize who she was. She was the girl from last night, Lou. When he looked at her then, knowing she was the girl from the video, it was hard not to stare. He knew what she had under those modest clothes she was wearing now. “Good to see you again Lou.” Lou looked over and nodded. “Nice to see you Phil. I am going to get these home Charlie. I will catch up with you later.” “Let me help you.” Phil grabbed all of the bags out of her hands before she could say anything and started walking towards their apartment without having to be told where it was. Lou gave Charlie a look, but she just shrugged and handed him the rest of the bags. “Since you are trying to be such a gentleman.” It made Charlie wondered why he was being so helpful all of a sudden, but she saw the way that he looked at her and the way that Lou was trying not to look. There was something there and she smiled to herself. The two would be perfect together. Charlie knew that Phil was set to pose for the Art class next week and she wanted to get her uptight friend in there. But she knew that if she mentioned anything about it, Lou would never agree. “What is all of this stuff for anyways?” “Just a couple of projects that I have in mind. What are you doing around here?” He shrugged. “I was supposed to meet Scott for lunch, but I bet he is still sleeping from the party last night.” The two talked while Lou made her way beside them. She didn’t have much to say to him, not really knowing him. She had a meeting later that day with the college paper. When she
