Tension

"You're a pretty well off bachelor."
"I guess."
"Your place is really clean and neat."
"I try. I do hire cleaning maids to help tidy the place sometimes."
"Nice. You keeping it clean for a girlfriend or something?" Janie asked this knowing he doesn't have a girlfriend. She wanted to test him.
"No. No girlfriend."
"You with no girlfriend?"
"Yeah. All the girls I date tell me I work too much and don't give them enough attention. Which explains the cleanliness of this place."
"You need to let loose sometimes."
"Yeah, but career is first right now. I want a better future and trying to climb up that ladder you know."
"I see." Janie felt an awkwardness and some tension between the two of them. She's now in his home but they aren't progressing anywhere. But she didn't want it to be just a one night stand.
"I saw in the email that you won the contest to spend a night with Logan."
"Yeah. Unfortunately."
"Why is that?"
"I didn't really enter the contest. Morgan did it for me."
"Explains a lot."
"Yeah."
"You seem to be close to Logan though. I see you talking to him a lot."
"Oh no. Don't misunderstand. We are arguing the whole time."
"Okay." Julien took a sip of his milk.
"You drinking milk. Help you sleep or something?"
"Ha. No. There's not much else in my house to drink. I only have wine and I don't want any more alcohol."
It was getting more awkward and awkward by the minute. Janie knew this would happen. She oozed of awkwardness. She never wanted to initiate anything.
"You wanna check out my room?"
"Uh, sure?"
