Summary:This story is my homage to Sex And The City with a Roswell twist.
Imagine Carrie/Liz,Miranda/Maria,Charlotte/Isabel, Samantha/Tess and Mr.BIG/Max as twenty-somethings who meet at New York University.
I would like to thank my BETAs, Tequaisty and CandyCane14 for helping me breathe life into an idea that threatened to burn a huge hole in my brain. Thanks for coming to my assistance (rescue) and being so wonderful. Last but certainly not least, as always I would like to thank my muse, Irish77 for her continued support.

Allow me to introduce myself, my name is Liz Parker and I’m attending New York University on a Journalism scholarship. As the smallest of small town girls from Roswell New Mexico, I found the opportunity to study in New York very appealing.
New York is the perfect place to acquire an education and meet eligible men. Men, the pleasure and bane of our existence as women who all desire to make a mark in the world.
While in high school I never thought of myself as attractive. On the contrary, I saw myself as the brainy geek who while desperately wanted to belong. I felt it was best to stay true to myself and stick with the few friends I had at the school paper.
I applied to many schools and got accepted to all of them but somehow felt that NYU and New York was my destiny.
While acclimating myself to the busy New York style of life on campus, I met three very different and very interesting girls:
Maria Deluca:
A Pre-law student from Philadelphia who is self assured and opinionated. She loves sports, athletic men and a rousing debate. Being her friend has its ups and downs, you’ll never win an argument with her but there is no better person to have your back, support you and sing your praises.
She likes to date but her sometimes-caustic tongue makes it hard for her to do it on a regular basis. I’ve asked her on several occasions why she can’t go with the flow and stroke a man’s ego.
She gives me a rousing debate on how the feminists have made too many strides to allow herself or me for that matter to but back on the frilly apron and placate men.
Maria intends to be a more than capable opponent in the courtroom but if she can’t compartmentalize her life that attitude might leave her bed empty and cold.
Isabel Evans:
An Art history major from Connecticut who comes from an ultra rich family. She's the quintessential old-fashion girl with definite opinions on life and love.
She’s a sweet girl in the body of a forties pin-up. You’ve got to get past her polite but chilly demeanor to see it just how much fun she can be.
So traditional are her values that we call her the ice queen, but never to her face. She’s the perfect Scarlet O’Hara archetype. This girl has eligible guys coming out of the woodwork to date her.
Tess Harding:
A native New Yorker majoring in Public Relations. Tess has a raging libido and a one-time sex policy. Basically a man with a vagina, her philosophy on life and sex is go for the gusto.
Her taste in men is as varied and eclectic as her wardrobe. She intends to take a big bite out of the big apple and make her mark in the city’s boardrooms and bedrooms.

Just like I felt going to NYU was fate so was meeting my fabulous friends. Maria and I met first while taking an advanced English course. After acquainting ourselves, we found that we genuinely liked each other. She’s the yin to my yang.
While I am more laid back and go with the flow, Maria is a fireball that believes that nothing or no one is too good for her and will wreck heaven and hell to get what she’s after. It is those traits that will make her a kick ass lawyer.
After she and I got to know each other better, I started to complain about how things were at the dorm I was assigned to. After I convinced her that I really needed to find somewhere else to stay, she asked her roommate and owner of a huge brownstone, Tess Harding if they had room for one more.
Maria must have put what she’s learned in her pre-law classes to use because I was summoned to the house to be screened as a potential roommate the very next day. When Maria and I got to the house, the first thing that crossed my mind was how on earth could her friend afford such accommodations with or without roommates.
It was magnificent; in fact the outside reminded me of the Huckstable house on The Cosby Show complete with the same adorable front stoop. I loved that show and that house.
Maria used her key to let us in and I learned very quickly that my fascination with this house was just beginning. Once inside I find the interior of the house to be exquisite.
The house is designed in the art deco style with buff colored walls along with beige and soft baby pink accents.
After a few minutes two voluptuous blondes chatting away on a comfy tan leather couch came into focus. Maria cleared her throat blaringly putting an end to the lively chatter.
“Excuse me ladies, this is the girl I told you about Liz Parker.”
Both ladies acknowledged Maria and I. Clearly one greeting was warmer than the other.
“Liz, Maria has told me so much about you, I’m pleased to meet you.” Isabel expressed with a dazzling smile, whereas the owner of the establishment was of a different attitude.
”Liz, please have a seat so we can get down to business.”
Needless to say, Tess’ behavior and wardrobe left me quite conflicted. While her attitude said takes no nonsense businesswoman, her clothes screamed temptress. It was a warm summer day so the fact that she had on shorts was no surprise, but the visual of those shorts riding the crack of her ass was.
To complete the look she was obviously going for, she had on a tight-cropped t-shirt with Touch me, Stroke me, Fuck me on it with no bra. Maria noticed that I was in shock by her friend’s oversexed ensemble, so she grabbed me and whispered in my ear.
“Just say yes to everything and you’ll be just fine.”
I nodded nervously and sauntered over to a very girlie looking baby pink divan, had a seat and then the interrogation began.
Tess sat up on the couch for the first time since I’ve arrived and started asking me questions.
”So Liz, Maria informed me that you wanted out of Dalton Hall, I don’t blame you but I’m interested in knowing why?”
Slowly I shifted in my chair and preceded to tell everyone in the room my sob story of not being able to study or rest on a regular basis because of a myriad of late night beer blasts with assholes getting into drunken brawls and puking their guts out.
Tess nodded in solidarity to my plight with an ‘I feel your pain’ beam. It was then that I felt like I had a chance of living here. She went on to discuss my share of the rent.
It was then that I was glad that I had my scholarship money and all the money I saved up from working what I thought were endless weekends, summer vacations and holidays at the Crashdown. When I assured her I could afford the rent, the conversation shifted to Tess’ house rules.
“Liz before I welcome you to the house, there are some rules we need to go over. First of all I expect you to clean up your own messes.
If I have no classes scheduled I don’t wake up until after noon. No one is to wake me before then unless Jason Behr himself is at the door.
I date a lot so there will be assorted guys here from time to time; I hope you’re not some big virgin prude.
“Virgin yeah, prude that’s debatable!” Maria hollers out to break the tension in the room.
It was then as my face turned three shades of crimson that Tess gave me the green light to move into the house.
Maria rushed over to me and gave me a big bear hug almost knocking me out of my plush comfy chair.
“See I told you she’d let you live here, welcome to Seduction House toots,” Maria whispered in my ear as Isabel walked over to me and gave me a welcoming hug.

Maria helped me into the house the following weekend. Luckily I had nothing but clothes, books and my laptop to move from the dorm. The first few days at the house after I moved in were uneventful because of classes and homework, but the following Saturday was a different story.
The day started as normal with everyone sleeping late and lounging around in pajamas most of the time. As the day got later Tess informed everyone that it was time to initiate me as a roommate by introducing me to their regularly scheduled hen parties. The procedure was to gather at the round glass table located in the huge buttercup yellow kitchen.
Isabel started the session off with the first question that was directed to me.
“So Liz do you have a boyfriend and what kind of guys do you prefer?”
Taking a deep breath I went on to spill my guts.
“No I don’t have a boyfriend at the moment and my last one was when I lived in Roswell. As for type, let’s just say I’d like a man with a definite air of mystery. Oh and he has to have dark hair.”
“Well there are so many gorgeous men at NYU that I’m sure you find your preference and soon.” Tess informs me with a wink.
Now it’s my opportunity to ask her a question.
“So Tess what is your type?”
Before she has a chance to open her mouth, Isabel answers the question with a disapproving glare on her face.
“Tess, she doesn’t have a type. If the guy has a nice body and a functioning penis she’s more than willing to oblige.”
“Sounds like sour grapes to me doll.” Tess countered Isabel with a smirk. “Don’t knock it ‘til you’ve tried it. By the way, how many man have made it into your secret garden lately?
“That’s so none of your business,” Isabel shouts over her shoulder as she leaves the room agitated.
Tess would be very shocked to find out that Isabel isn’t a virgin. On the contrary, Isabel has sex and likes it but chooses not to broadcast her liaisons to the public. Unlike Tess, Isabel feels that there should be an emotional component to the sex act.
Speaking of sex, Isabel has been getting more than her fair share the last couple of months. I think it’s safe to say that Iz has stepped out of the box so to speak in dating Alex Whitman.
Don’t get me wrong there is nothing physically wrong with Alex, he’s tall, dark, attractive and never fails to rock Isabel’s world when they meet for all things carnal.
Where Alex falls short is that he has no pedigree, and he has no money. Isabel really likes him though and rather than be deprived of his willingness to please she meets him at the house while we're in classes.
Nobody has met Alex and we wouldn’t even know he existed if she didn’t mention getting tutored from time to time. Seemingly he hasn’t complained about the arrangement, but a change is going to come and soon.
