Roommates with the Playboy (bxb) (Heartbreaker Series Book 2)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9: Stay Away

No one else noticed me sitting on the floor. Only Mew and I knew because everyone seemed to be lost in their own fantasies.

It wasn't long until Mew was nowhere to be seen. He has left. He has left with his friends. He has left me sitting on the cold floor.

When people began to realize where I was, some of them stopped to watch me. Good thing I was wearing a mask that was now covered in tears so I guess it will be hard for them to guess who I was.

My heart feels like it's been shattered. My lips trembled. I couldn't explain how I feel.

But one thing was for sure. It felt like a heartbreak.

A hand appeared in front of me. I looked up and saw a familiar guy offering his hand so he can help me get up. My gut tells me it was Hughie so I did not bother accepting his hand.

His eyes were serious and his lips were pressed into a thin line.

I looked away. I still could not find the strength to get up so I remained seated on the floor. My knees still feel weak.

My eyes widened when a pair of strong arms lifted me up, bridal style. When I checked on who it was, I was stunned when it was the same guy who offered me his hand earlier. And seeing him upclose confirmed my guess. I was right. It was Hughie. I can tell by his expressive eyes and long eyelashes.

A lot of people stared at us. It was pretty controversial, I guess. A man carrying another man.

Afraid that I might attract more attention, I chose to let Hughie carry me away from there instead of arguing with him and ask him to put me down. And besides, I'm not sure if my knees are now strong enough to stand after everything that happened earlier.

My face was so close to his chest that I could smell his manly perfume. He smells so good.

We were able to get out from the venue but he seemed determined to continue carrying me. He maintained a serious expression all the way.

"Do you want me to take you to your dorm room?" he asked, a hint of concern was discernable from his voice.

I thought about the consequences if I go to my room. Mew would later be there with me. After what happened, the last thing I want to happen right now is to be with him.

Why did he push me? Was he ashamed because he was dancing with me? Just thinking about it makes me feel like shit. It fucking hurts!

I just confessed to him. Was this all just a game to him?

"No," I shook my head. "I don't want to go back to my room."

"Do you want me to take you somewhere else? You have other friends you can call?"

"I only have Anais as a friend here. She's still at the party. And even if she wasn't, I can't still ask her for help since I won't be allowed in the girl's dormitory."

"You can stay at mine if you want. I don't share a room with anyone," he offered.

Right now, I have no choice. So even if I hate this guy to the core, I guess having him right now is better than having no one at all. That is if I do not wish to go back to my room. Well right now, I would rather be stuck with this annoying guy than be with Mew who broke my heart a few minutes ago.

I gave Hughie a slow nod, agreeing to his offer to take me to his dorm room.

It took us a couple of minuted before we got there. His room was on the second floor of the building but as he walked up the stairs, he did not seem to have a hard time carrying me.
