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

They take a table in a corner and Trey orders a Porterhouse with baked potato and salad, and then looks at Jesse.


“Order whatever you want, Jess.” Jesse’s seen the London Broil is the cheapest thing on the menu, so he asks for that, with the same side orders as Trey. After the waitress walks away, Trey folds his arms on the table and smiles at him.


“Heard you come from Texas,” he says. “Whereabouts?”


Jesse’s a bit taken aback that Trey knows that about him. He knows stuff about Trey of course—born in Houston, Texas, on September 19, 1987, has one older brother and a younger sister, his middle name is Jonathan, and he has starred in several box office movies—but Jesse certainly didn’t expect Trey to know anything about him.


“Hey, Jess? Earth to Jesse. Jess, hellooo?” Trey snaps his fingers under Jesse’s nose and Jesse breaks out of his reverie, smiling at Trey sheepishly, feeling himself blush.
