As Nick approached the door he shook his head slowly and could only being to imagine what the inside of the apartment looked like. Knowing Jason it was top of the line stuff and created an atmosphere that made everyone feel comfortable which made Nick smile. Jason was usually the center of attention back in college, and that wasn't a bad thing. He was kind of the glue that held everyone together in those days. Holden, Jason, and Nick seemed to bond with one another on so many different levels. They had a knack of getting into trouble, getting each other out of trouble, but above all else they were there for one another. It wasn't always perfect in terms of their friendship they had their share of ups and downs, but they always found a way to work things out or just let 'em go. Through thick or thin their friendship was as solid as any substance on the planet. 

Just as Nick was preparing to walk into the lobby when a young lady approached him and said,“Hiya!”

She seemed very friendly and a smile that one couldn't help but be put at ease with. Her dress was very comfortable and she seemed to have a personality that would light up a room Nick noticed the luggage she was carrying and said, [B]"Well hello there. New to the building I'm gathering, and I'll bet anything you're a roommate of Jason Hunt's as well as me." [/B]He looked at her shoes and said, [B]"Nice shoes."[/B]

Nick bowed his head slightly and said, [B]"Nick Dawson I knew Jason back in college he invited me down here too, so I'm on my way in and the first thing I'm doing is getting out of the suit and tie."[/B]

Nick heard someone else approaching and heard a female voice say, "Uh.. Hello? Are you guys friends of Jason? If that's a yes, I'm your new room mate."

Nick said while turning slowly, [B]"Friends of Jason sounds like we should be forming..."[/B] he turned and faced another young woman with brown hair cut in a bob and Nick felt himself smile without even thinking as he finished saying, [B]"a support group or something."[/B] She too had a sizable amount of luggage and the touching of the hair told Nick she might be a bit nervous. Truth be known Nick was fairly relaxed with the first young lady, but this one made him a bit nervous for some reason.

Nick shook his head and said, [B]"Oh sorry Nick Dawson and yes I'm a friend of Jason's as well, as is..." [/B]he motioned to the other young lady and said, [B]"as is this member of our party. I'm sorry for being so rude I haven't asked for any of your names yet or anyone else's for that matter"[/B]

Nick took a deep breath and realized he was within an eyelash of rambling and said with much more control, [B]"I think we might be more comfortable inside where we'll have a better chance to get to know one another."[/B] He looked at the door and then at his two new roommates and said, [B]"Shall we?"[/B]

Nick opened up the apartment door and said stepping in with his duffel bag [B]"Attention please! A refugee from Arlington, Virginia has arrived seeking political asylum in Miami! I also happen to be escorting two lovely young ladies as well."[/B] He turned to the two ladies and said, [B]"Welcome to your new home."[/B] Although he caught himself smiling automatically at the one with the brown hair for some reason.

Nick turned back into the apartment and when he saw Jason Nick said,[B] "Look who showed up! Damn it's good seeing you again Jason." [/B]He kind of chuckled and then looked at the couch and saw Holden sitting there. Nick walked over and said, [B]"So you gonna spot me my usual 18 when we play ping-pong or what?"[/B] Nick sucked at Ping-Pong but Holden spotted him 18 points and still beat him 21-18 usually. Nick said, [B]"Great seeing you again Holden. We're gonna have fun here."[/B]

Nick stood up and said, [B]"Now if you all will excuse me for just a moment I need to get changed."[/B] Nick bolted upstairs and saw a room with some moving boxes in them and recognized his mom's handwriting on them. Nick entered the room and dropped his bag. Quickly he stripped out of his suit, and into his favorite blue-jeans, a gray "Batman" logo shirt, and his Nikes.

Nick made his way back downstairs and said,[B] "Oh what a day I feel so much more comfortable. I don't know about you all but I could use a serious Chai-Latte."[/B]
