Booker 1 / Zimmerman 1

David and Cody are 25

Cody and David, or Dee as most people call him, met on a roommate matching service and became fast friends. They both have a lot in common so the pair spend their time playing video games, lounging around the apartment and watching football on Sundays. They share a two bedroom apartment in Arlington Heights, not the best area the city has to offer but the rent is cheap and they make due.

Dee has been struggling to keep a steady a job since he finished high school and spends his days sleeping until noon, while Cody works in construction. Lately Dee has managed to pick up some decent gigs DJing at some hot spots downtown after he his successful Halloween gig hosted by the Winthrop family. He can thank his sister Jada for that hook up.

Cody works long hours in the construction field and always hits up a local bar on his way home. His drink of choice is beer and more beer. After a long day laying down brick he needs a nice cold one to take the edge off. He also enjoys spending time working on cars and misses having a garage like he did back in Pennsylvania but living downtown there really is no need for a vehicle. He's hoping someday to get a small garage to tinker in.

Dee and his sister Jada are extremely close and they get together as much as they can. This past weekend Dee had a gig at The Hub so he invited his sister and her friends to come along and party. 

Cody also decided to tag along, it being a Friday night and all he didn't have any plans to get up early the next day so he figured why not - plus Jada's friend was really attractive. 

The club was hopping, anyone who is anyone in Arlington was there that night. Dee didn't know if it was usually that busy or if he had some effect on the crowd but either way he was thrilled to have such a great turn out. The music was pumping and people were dancing, drinks were flowing, and romance was in the air.

 Cody isn't much of a dancer, in fact he hates to dance. He even jokes that at his own wedding he'd rather have a beer pong table than a dance floor. So as soon as the group arrived to the club, straight to the bar he headed.

 Cody couldn't tell if Gabby was into him but when she asked him to join her on the dance floor he quickly obliged despite his reluctance to dance in public. The two ended up having a great time together on the dance floor it was as if no one else was in the room. 

 When the finally closed the club down, around 3 AM Cody wasn't ready for the night to end and neither was Gabby. They lingered outside the club and Cody was trying to figure out if he should call a taxi and head back to their respective places when Gabby suggested she was starving and could really go for a burger. Cody took this as a hint and the went off in search of the best burgers in town.
