CHOOSE ME!

Part 1

Alex's pov
My legs bounced nervously as I sat at the end of my bed, it was the first time I was getting a roommate. I didn't even want one, but I couldn't afford to live alone anymore. I hope he's nice, but after past experiences anyone is.

The doorbell then rung, and then again and again. I couldn't seem to get up, I was scared. Why? This is stupid, I should be able to get up and answer the door to someone I'll be living with for a while. Way to go for first impressions.

I finally got up, my legs wobbled in fear and I bumped into the sofa, stubbing my toes. I opened the door to see a tall angry looking boy. He was a few months older than me, so he was already 19, which had already been discussed but I didn't know he would look like THAT!

His silky sandy brown hair bounced over his eyes ever so slightly, his long muscular arms lent on the door frame as one of them was deep in his pockets. I stood in his dark shadow as he towered over me, I looked into his deep green eyes, he looked like a god stood there, I felt my gaunt pale face get warmer and my paper white cheeks go rosy.

"You gonna let me in?" He asked impatiently, not breaking eye contact. My face went even more warm and red somehow but he pushed past my skinny boney body. "So where's my room then?" He asked turning around to face me, "oh sorry, follow me," I asked keeping my head down and purposely avoiding looking at him.

Once he was settled we sat down in the small living room. An awkward silence rang through the air. He tapped his knee slightly, it was annoying but how could I say something to a boy like that. "Soooo...... what took you so long to answer the door this morning?" He asked, I knew it was only to break the awkward tension, I scratched my head awkwardly and replied "sorry about that, I was just a bit nervous."

I finally looked at him, the first time for a while, he looked a little bit flushed, I smirked a little and so did he, "you were nervous to meet ME?" he asked with a small chuckle. I laughed a little too, I still was nervous, I mean look at him!

We made eye contact and then he seemed to look me up and down, "let's get to know eachother a little," he said and eagerly turned towards me, crossing his long legs in the process. I smiled happily, how can someone be so hot yet adorable at the same time. He ruffled his hair making it bounce like a little ball of fluff. I wanted nothing more than to run my fingers through it.

"I'm called Alex, I'm 18 and I have lived on my one for a year now," he looked at me thoughtfully and then started talking, "I'm Charlie, I'm 19 and I've moved to be closer to my girlfriend," his deep voice rang through my ears, making my spine shiver a little but my heart dropped when he said those last words.
