Roommate - S01 E36

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 36

Nicole

I wasn't sure why Justus had to tell me that Blake's favorite color was red. Or that his weakness was lace, but I could only assume Blake might've told him about us.

Although that made me uncomfortable that he would talk about our sex to others, knowing his weakness was... helpful? I wouldn't know what it would help me with, but it was information I now had in mind. And for some reason I just wanted to test it out real quick before I went to Patricia's room to hang out.

The only red lace undergarment I had was my thong, but if it was really a weakness, I figured it'd be enough.

I really wasn't sure where my sudden boldness came from, considering I wanted nothing with men. Heck, I wanted no friends or distractions at all while I was here.

Yet here I was, trying to seduce a man I was trying hard not to fall for. A little bit of fun never hurt anyone, and as long as I didn't let things get too far, it would never hurt. At least that's what I was hoping for.

I took a bit longer to put on my pants, carrying them over to my bed. As I sat down, I looked up at Blake and noticed the pained expression on his face. It looked like he was holding back, and I felt a bit proud.

One thing he was really helping me with was my confidence. Never in my life would I have thought I'd be bold enough to do any of the things I had done with him already. Sure, I enjoyed sex, but I had never tried to initiate it before.

With him, it felt natural. I felt wanted. Desired.

Convinced the tip from Justus actually worked, I quickly stepped into my pants and put on my shoes before stepping out of the room.

I made my way to Patricia's room with a smile on my face. He could deal with it on his own. Payback for him saying our business to others.

Once I was a good distance away from our room, I heard a door open. "You're such a tease," Blake announced and I froze. I spun around to glare at him, looking around to make sure no one heard him.

It wasn't enough for Justus to know already?

"Will you shut up?"

The asshole was smirking, clearly loving that he got a rise out of me so quickly. He could eat a dick.

As I went to walk away again to go to his sister's room, he continued to embarrass me, "So you just got me hard to ditch me. It's like that?"

I stomped over to him, ignoring the cocky, satisfied smirk still on his face. I knew that's what he wanted all along, and I fell for it way too easily. But the last thing I wanted was for the entire building to know we were having sex.

When he opened his mouth to say something else, I slapped a hand over his mouth, pushing him backwards into the room. His hands went to my waist as his form of balance.

"You're irritating," I grumbled.

"And you're a fucking tease."

All I did was roll my eyes before pushing him the rest of the way in and running back out, running as fast as I could to Pat's room before he could shout anything else at me. By the time I reached her door and knocked, I was out of breath.

She opened the door with a smile on her face, until she saw me bent over trying to stop panting. "Uhh, are you okay?"

I waved her off. "I'm fine. Sorry I'm a bit late."

"Late?" She checked the time on her phone. "Oh. I just finished changing, so you're fine. Didn't notice you were even late."

To be fair, it was only ten minutes.

Once I was inside of her room, she led me to her bed and opened her laptop. We were seated side by side, our legs crossed as she swiped down on a variety of costumes. Her and Blake were throwing a Halloween party on the weekend, and she insisted of matching costumes. Told me she'd pay for mine if I just agreed to match.

I could've easily bought my own costume, but wouldn't wanna spend money on one, so I agreed to match for the sake of saving money. Honestly, my plan was to make a diy costume for it.

"Have you thought about any matching costumes at all?" She asked as she continued scrolling past the variety. "Angel and devil are classic, but honestly a little too classic. It's really cute but overused now."

I nodded in agreement. Everywhere you turned on Halloween, you saw at least one angel and devil duo. Cute, yes, but also too common.

"Nuns?" The look on my face alone was enough to give her my answer, and she laughed. "That's a no."

"Definitely not."

"Throw us some ideas, Mel," she grumbled at her roommate, who was busy on her own laptop.

Mel looked up from her screen and shrugged. "Daphne and Velma, maybe?"

Patricia's face lit up at the suggestion and honestly, I actually liked that idea. "You're a genius!" Pat exclaimed, immediately typing away to look at the options available. "You sure you don't wanna go? I can order you a costume as well while I'm here."

Mel shook her head, going back to studying. "No, I'm okay. I don't like parties."

"Alright, well thanks for the idea."

"Mhm."

There were several options for the costumes we wanted, and the different price points were concerning. I understood materials had a lot to do with the price but over a hundred dollars for something that would only get worn one night seemed like overkill. Patricia, however, didn't seem to care.

I watched as she picked the most expensive options and went to check out. My wallet hurt, and the money wasn't even coming out of my pockets.

"We probably could've went to the thrift store and gotten the same result for way cheaper."

Pat shrugged, moving on to find something else online. "Probably, yeah. But how long would it take? These will be here by tomorrow."

Choosing to argue about anything with her always resulted in her winning, so I dropped the subject and laid on my back instead.

I couldn't help but think about Blake as I stared at the popcorn ceiling, deciphering random shapes that most likely were only there due to my imagination. I was thinking how if I had probably stayed just a few minutes longer, I probably would've been under him by now.

Despite the fact that I craved him just as bad, I would like to avoid giving in to him too often. It was bad enough that I gave in at all. But I wasn't going to be readily available whenever he wanted. That was something I was trying hard to avoid.

I knew teasing him was evil, but it wasn't something I planned on doing, it just sort of... happened.

"I really want some sushi, what about you guys?" Patricia knocked me out of my thoughts and I stopped looking at the horse shape on her ceiling to nod at her.

"Get me a crunchy roll, please."

She lifted a brow. "A single roll?"

"Okay, two." I laughed.

"What about you, Mel?"

Mel shook her head, keeping her attention on her laptop. "I'm okay, I ate a bit earlier."

But Patricia wasn't satisfied with her answer. "I'll get an extra roll in case you change your mind by the time it gets here. And if you really don't want it, I'll eat it. Sound good?"

"Sure."

"Awesome."

Once the order was placed, it really didn't take that long to get here. And just like Patricia planned, Mel ended up accepting her roll.

Mel and I were struggling a bit to use the chopsticks, while Patricia handled them like a pro, grabbing her pieces and dunking them in her sauce without an issue.

We ate in silence for the most part, until Patricia finished her rolls and let out a heavy sigh.

I chewed the food in my mouth as quick as possible before asking, "What's wrong?"

Her eyes had a longing look to them, and I wondered what the issue could be. She always seemed so happy.

"I hate crushes that don't go away."

There was only one person I could assume she'd have a crush on. And that was only because of the way she always looked at him when he or her brother weren't looking. Justus.

"I've never had that problem, but I bet it really sucks," was all I could really provide for her. I never really allowed myself to have meaningless crushes. And if someone managed to make me fall for them, then I just distanced myself until the feelings disappeared. Though, it was kind of impossible for her to really distance herself from someone that was always around her brother.

"It does suck." She threw herself back on the bed. "A lot."

The sadness in her voice made me suspect that maybe nothing could ever happen between them. Reasons I wasn't sure of, but also didn't wanna ask.

I never wanted to be in that situation.
