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

Looking at Jesse when he’s smiling like that is a little like looking at the sun.


“I don’t know,” Jesse says, ducking his face in that shy way of his. But from his shining eyes, Trey knows it must have gone well. He sincerely wants Jesse to get the role.


“I’m sure you did awesomely, Jesse. They love you and they’ll call you back, I’m sure of that.”


Jesse blushes, hitting Trey’s arm playfully. “I hope so, Trey, I hope so.”


“By the way, Jess, I…uh, do you mind waiting for a while?” Trey looks awkward, raking his hand through his hair. “I…I have something to talk about with Ted.”


“No, not really, I met him just now and he, uh, he…” Trey falters, not really knowing what to say.


Jesse waves his hand. He’s still smiling but his happiness seems to have dimmed a little, “Never mind, Trey. You go and see him and I’ll—I’ll wait in the car, if you don’t mind.”
