Still Holding On

thirty-eight

"So Jace Gray huh?" Natasha—one of my batch mates asked as we got down the bus.

"Yeah! I guess." I spoke, emotionless, walking slowly to the side of the bus with her.

"You guess?" Natasha repeated. "That guy is a fucking chocolate bar dipped in honey. You better be sure about him Allan."

"Yeah" Who was she again? And why was she giving me boy advice?

But she was right. He is a chocolate bar dipped in honey. And I know how sure about him I am.

The weather was good. Winter winds with the place covered with a thin layer of blanket—building up slowly and steadily with every single snowfall.

The resort looked good. At least the entry was good.

"Let's go in?" Jace came by my side and held my hand. "Got all your bags in with mine." His hair was messy today. Somehow better.

We walked in and took a seat with the rest of the students in the waiting lounge. Soon Mr. Sanderson walked in with a bunch of what I assumed as room keys.

"Two floors—two guys in one room and two girls in other on both floors. Curfew starts at 8 so all the hookups and flings are to be done before that and you shall be in your rooms by 8 PM." He was trying to be cool again. I almost felt bad for him.

"Your room numbers have been allotted and so have your roommates for the trip. They've been emailed to you all." He smiled. "Enjoy!"

Everyone quickly took out their phones and started surfing through the list. Some were happy and the others were either mad or upset about who they had to share their rooms with.

I took out my phone and tapped on the email notification. The list popped up and I had to scroll for what felt like ages to find my name.

I looked at Jace and found him giving me a grin. I finally found my name on the list—Allan Colebrooks - 509. I looked at my roommate's name.

I giggled. My roommate was giving me a huge smile. He was as excited as I was.

Jace Gray.

HOLYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!

Do I like hug him outa excitement or do I kiss him openly or wait till we get in our room.

Hug it is for now.

we got into our room and locked it as soon as our bags were set in one corner. The room bell rang as soon as we were about to kiss. "Gotta get that!" Jace said, looking into my eyes.

"Let me!" I requested.

I opened the door to Ashton. The guy from my English class. He used to call me a Book-Head till last year. "Hey Allan!" He sounded casual. No looks. No sarcasm. No name-calling. This was new.

I entertained the tone and gave an equally enthusiastic reply. "Hey!"

"You got a charger?" He waved his phone towards me. "I can't find mine. It's stuffed in some bag. I'm just a few doors ahead. I can give it you within an hour?"

"Yeah sure! Give me a second."

Ashton left with the charger. "Sorry bout that!" I looked at Jace and smiled.

"It's all okay." He took me in his arms and swung me by the slippery floor. We both giggled till we heard another door bell.

"Ugh!" I sighed.

Jace opened the door to a guy dressed in uniform holding two large bottles or water. "These are extra bottles incase you run out of water until tomorrow morning." The man handed the bottles to Jace and left.

Suddenly I was thinking bout Row. I was missing that cute dog and I didn't wanna leave him but I had to anyways. Thanks to Jace's manipulation to come for the trip.

"I think no one's gonna disturb us now." He shut the door and threw the bottles on the bed and launched at me.

We finally got to kiss. I finally got to feel him on me. It is sensational. The way he made me feel physically still feels new every time. 

And there it was..... Another person ringing our doorbell. This time just more eagerly.

There was one ring. Two. Three. FOUR in a row now. FIVE.

I finally jumped out of Jace's grasp and rushed to the door before whoever the fuck was ringing our doorbell rang it more.

"I can't even THINK about how I'm gonna TOLERATE Ashley Bennet." It was Nishi. Expected. "ASHLEY FUCKING NORTON FREAKIN' BENNET! SHE IS MY ROOMMATE!" She jumped on our bed and lied on there.

I looked at Jace as our eyes met. We both agreed that it was best that we waited for later to supposedly make out. And Nishi kept going on about Ashley being her roommate and I think the whole roommate thing was getting weird(for others) but I was really happy about the one I got.
