Tornado in the City

While at work, we had a storm blow through. They called it a derecho and my city had a tornado within 3 miles of my hotel and my house. My roommate messaged about the sirens and hid in the basement when I said there was a tornado heading in our direction. The shuttle driver affirmed she was not going outside to take anyone anywhere. I replied she can stay inside where it was safe. We had to call over the speaker to head to the ballroom or stay away from windows. Some guests went to the ballroom and others didn't. I stayed at the front desk telling people about the tornado. Once the tornado left and it was safe, we annonced people could leave the ballroom. The low air pressure made my head hurt and ears started ringing. Then room started spinning so decided to go home early. My roommate rode the bus and walked to my hotel to drive me home. I commented to my roommate I would be lucky not to crash my car from the vertigo and he said he would come over. Told him all the excitement. He said he got the cats in the basement and how animals know things. I said the tornado would cause vibrations in the floor so they must have known something was happening. He said my cat Bilbo is more willing to approach after he feeds him.

Let roommate visit his friend at a mall. He was cooking food for his new flame when his friend called. Blew his flame off to service his friend's needs. Sat in car for 40 minutes. Walks friend to my car. roommate introduced his friend having problems with his wife breaking his heart. Drunk Guy opens his wallet and shows a bunch of $100 bills explaining he's rich and drives a Hellcat. OK, Hello. Then offers his number so we can talk. I reject it. Nice to meet you and good night. Driving home roommate is upset I don't want to talk to his friend cause he is a good guy who will take care of me. He's roommate's friend, that reason enough to reject him. And 2nd, I am not a lazy bum looking to be taken care of. Give me a good job and I will take care of myself. Opening his wallet to a total stranger and announcing his car, whatever a Hellcat is, tells me he is a superficial a**hole who wants to be loved for his money and car cause he has no substance. Maybe that's how all guys are, but that's not something I go crazy over. Now roommate is mad at me for not giving him a chance. What do I want? I give up on men and wouldn't want he would dig up. Then his friend calls and invites us to go to California, tomorrow. We have to work, we can't tkae off just because he is willing to pay for everything. Yeah, that is the sign of a manipulator. Roommate starts his new job tomorrow, he expects him to drop it and go to California cause his friend feels depressed. Definately not giving him a chance now.
