Meetings and maybes?

                                    

                                          
Imane's P.O.V :
                          
After our house meeting the first the first thing I did was call Lauren and tell her about the opportunity. This is pretty much how it went.
                          
Me: hey. What would you say if I found a pretty sweet job for you and gets you experience and a place to stay?
                          
Lauren: I'd say "marry me". (She jokes)
                          
Me: haha well I guess you're my wife now!
                          
Lauren: wait seriously??? I thought you were joking!!! What's the job?
                          
Me: ok so... I have a bunch of roommates right??
                          
Lauren: yeah???
                          
Me: well basically we all need to eat healthier and only one of us knows how to cook a decent meal. So you would like be our personal chef and just like live with us..
                          
Lauren: are you serious??? That sounds dope... 
                          
Me: yeah we would collectively pay you and oh wouldn't have to pay rent.. for at least the first month or so
                          
Lauren: omg thank you so much!!!
                          
Me: wait! First you would basically need to "audition" I guess.. we are all free on Friday so if you come and cook for us and impress my roommates then the job is yours.
                          
Lauren:  alright. No pressure then.. great.
                          
We then discussed dietary restrictions and what she would cook for us. She decided on making chicken pesto pasta again. Which I think was a great idea. I know for that they will for sure love it just as much as I did.
                          
Lauren's P.O.V:
                          
A day had past since Imane texted me out being her roommates personal chef and I couldn't stop thinking about it. I am so nervous and I don't know if I should disclose that I am gay or not.. If I say something will it ruin my chances of getting the job. Should I not mention it? So should I be straight forward with them... haha straight forward. Anyway!!! I guess I see what the vibe is then go from there.
                          
Time skip to the "audition" day (because I'm lazy)
                          
I pull-up the the gate and get buzzed in.. holly shit! They live in a gated community!!!  I drive through the neighborhood and my anxiety increases as the houses get fancier and fancier. "Did I make a wrong turn" I mumble under my breath. I pull into the driveway the gps tells me and then I text Imane.
                          
Lauren: I'm here... I think?
Imane:  alright I'm coming
                          
I turn off my car and wait until I see the front door open and Imane peek her body halfway out the door . She makes eye contact and motions for me to come. Completely stunned I got the right house I walk in with the groceries I brought.
                          
" the kitchen is over here" she says and I continue to follow her. " you can try to fit those in the fridge" she points at the groceries "but I don't know if you will have much luck". Luck? With what? I open there refrigerator and see complete chaos and discourse. 
                          
"Oh hell no" I mumble under my breath but here Imane laugh. I look at her.. "if I'm gonna be working here... this will be the first to go". I look back to the fridge astonished by how unorganized and full it is. 
                          
After 5 minutes of wrestling I manage to fit all the ingredients. 
                          
"I will go get my roomies" Imane smiles "you wait here." And make yourself comfy" she says gesturing to the living-room couch.
                          
I went and sat on the couch while she rounds up here roommates. Damn. This house is way way nicer than I thought it was going to be. They must be making bank.
                          
The sound of giggles snaps me out of my thoughts and I look up to see three very pretty girls standing next to Imane. I stand up to greet them.
                          
"Lauren this is Janet" she motions to the person closest to her.
                          
"HeLlOoo" she says in a cute high pitched voice. 
                          
"Hi" I nervously reply while giving her a shy wave.
                          
"This is Celine" Imane continues.
                          
"Hi!!!" She excited claims.
                          
"Hi" I smile back matching her energy.
                          
"And last bit certainly not least we have Rae" she finishes.
                          
"Hiya!!" She says really loudly.
                          
"Alright why don't we just sit down and talk for a little since you have a little time before you have to start cooking right" Imane suggests. 
                          
"Yeah I have some time" we all sit down on the couch. "So what would y'all like to know?"
                          
The next 10 minutes was spent with them asking me random questions about my interest and favorite things. They were constantly joking with each other and I couldn't stop laughing. All of these girls are extremely funny. The jokes and laughing evolves into them joking about being single which prompts Rae to ask "what about you Lauren? Do you have a boyfriend?"
                          
I guess the question startled Imane because it somehow managed to make her spit out her drink. She looks at me worried. And says "oh my gosh the time... Lauren you should probably start cooking" trying to change the subject. I giggle at her attempt to save me but I actually did need to start cooking. 
                          
"Yeah I probably should." I got up and as I was walking to the kitchen I look back and say "oh... and I really don't date men. They should be so lucky." I turn back around and head into the kitchen and start my meal prep.
