Jesse Gray can’t get more unlucky. His roommate left him and he gets kicked out when he can’t afford the rent. Next, the owner of the fast food joint where he works part-time suddenly tells him he no longer works there. Jesse still has a job as a PA on a movie set but the pay will never be enough to afford even the cheapest room in Hollywood. There’s only one place left to stay the night -- in the park.<br><br>Trey Miller is the star on a TV series where Jesse works. They bump into each other one night while leaving the set, and Trey thinks Jesse is much too good-looking to only be a PA. When he learns of Jesse’s financial condition, he offers a place to stay at his house. Having no other options, Jesse reluctantly accepts the offer, but what’s the catch?

A Home for Jesse

“My bedroom is downstairs. Here I have my gym, a game room, a studio, and a room to practice lines and stuff.”


Trey nods. “Among others.” He gives a big grin then, opening a door to their left. “Hey, I must show you this. This is my studio.”


Jesse’s jaw goes slack. The studio is huge and looks as professional as can be. There’s a mixing table surrounded by wide-screen computers and at the end of the room there is another small room that looks soundproofed. He can see a set of musical instruments inside it.


“I wish!” Trey laughs. “Nah, I don’t play, not very well anyway. My friends do, usually Brent, sometimes others.”


Jesse looks around him with not a little envy. Everything looks so shiny and expensive. The musical instruments; the guitar especially makes him think of his old friend, Charlie. Charlie would feel at home here. He sighs.


“You play?” Trey asks, startling Jesse.
