Deboras POV

I was knackered after all the shopping roger and I done.  my arm was killing trying to keep reggie under control, pulling and jumping up on people, I unlocked my front door taking the leash off of reggie letting him run in, I flopped down on the couch as Roger placed the bags down and flopped down next to me "thank you Roger, your a life saver" I said throwing my head back and closing my eyes.
"It's alright love, I don't mind. Right where's that new phone and I'll get it sorted for you" roger said grabbing a bag looking in it for the phone
" oh Roger no you don't need to you've done enough for me today please, let me cook you some dinner as a thank you" I said placing my hand on his shoulder giving him a warm smile,
" tell you what, I'll sort the phone out while you make dinner, will that make you happy" he said as he stood up pulling the phone out the bag
" what you cooking for dinner anyway" he asked as I grabbed the rest of the bags sorting them out
" well I make a very good cottage pie" I said smiling handing reggie a new chew toy,
" sounds good to me" he said smiling up from his place on the floor.

An hour later and the food was ready. I pulled out 2 plates  and started plating it up " roger, would you like a drink" I shouted threw to him from the kitchen
" what you got" he said back followed by some banging  other things I couldn't make out,
" whisky, beer, wine, gin" I replied pulling my eyebrows together wondering what's going on in my living room.
" uhh, a beers fine thanks" he said back followed by a louder thump,
" is everything okay in there" I said walking to the living room," oh my god" I threw my hands over my mouth absolutely mortified at what was hanging out of reggies mouth, my knickers, again this bloody dog, I ran in and reggie ran around the other side of the couch and Roger caught him at the other end fighting with him to get my knickers out his mouth,
" uhh here you go" roger said with a stupid smile on his face as he handed me my underwear, I took them off him throwing them in my bedroom before closing the door properly,
" dinners ready" I told him walking back into the kitchen placing the 2 plates on the table and reggies food on the floor, I opened Rogers beer for him and poured myself a glass of wine,
" so you decided if your coming to the gig tonight?" Roger asked as he took the first bite of his cottage pie moaning " this is brilliant, probably the best dinner Iv ever had" he said eating another mouthful,
" thank you, I do love to cook" I told him swallowing what was in my mouth and taking a sip of wine.
" so you coming?" He asked again.
" your keen to get me to go" I said smiling at him
" well I just wanted to see if you still think I'm rockstar material" he said smirking taking a swig of his beer, I laughed putting my fork down on plate and picking up my glass of wine.
" you're a charmer roger Taylor" i said taking a sip of the wine.
" so I take it Iv convinced you?" He said leaning back in his chair taking another swig of his beer.
" let me call Steven and-"
" debora?" I heard Steven call from the living room
" in here" I said and Steven walked into the kitchen
" oh, I didn't realise you had company" steven said giving Roger a weird look and placing his jacket on the back of a chair,
" alright mate" roger said smiling at steven taking a swig of his beer and continuing to eat his cottage pie
" I made cottage pie, theres some up there in that tray if you want some, you know where the plates are " I said to Steven as he walked over grabbing a plate and a beer,
" I didn't know you were starting to cook meals for complete strangers now debora" Steven said sitting down at the far side of the table looking at roger, roger let out a small chuckle, leaning back in his chair pushing his empty plate away from him, roger opened his mouth to say something but I butted in,
" don't be rude steven" I told him giving him a stern look " plus Rogers not really a stranger is he? He's my neighbour" I said looking infront of me to roger smiling, Steven just hummed in response eating his cottage pie,
" you want another beer roger? I think I'll have another glass of wine" I said standing up grabbing mine and Rogers empty plates and putting them in the sink
" what about you Steven you wanting another one aswel " I asked looking over from the fridge
" yeah why not"
I opened the 2 bottles of beer sitting one infront of roger and one infront of Steven, I grabbed Stevens empty plate placing it in the sink and grabbed my wine glass for a refill " steven, is it okay if you could watch reggie tonight I'm going out" I said pouring my wine
" yeah I can do, where you off to?" Steven asked standing up and walking round the table to me,
" Kensington pub" i said sitting back down on my seat infront of roger, roger looks at my taking a swig of his beer
" the Kensington pub? Who you going there with?" Steven said going into the fridge,
" Rogers invited me" I told him steven nearly chocked on his beer " you what?" He said shocked looking from me to roger and back at me again
" she's going with me, me and my mates have a gig there tonight thought she might enjoy it" roger said moving his eyebrows up and down with a sly smile on his face,
" ohh Um alright then" steven said as he walked into the living room sitting down on the couch with the dog, I looked at Roger raising my eyebrows and finishing the rest of my wine,
" I have to go meeting the boys in half an hour, need to get there early get things ready, we start playing at 8 so I'll get you in the pub about 7 for some drinks before it yeah?" Roger said as he walked into the living room picking up his coat
" yeah that's fine, see you later" I said to Roger as he wiggled his eyebrows and left, I turned around heading into my bedroom,
" I'm off to get ready" I told Steven who just hummed taking a sip of his beer, I sighed shaking my head and headed into my room. What the bloody hell is his problem.
