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

Chapter 16

Chapter 16: Storm

Hadrian couldn't wait for the weekends for our first date. I know that he's so tired from his game but he insisted that we leave the city and go someplace where no one would recognize us to spend some alone time.

"I'll just take a quick shower," he said before he pinched my cheek. Afterwards, he jogged towards the locker room. He even winked at me and gave me another one of his salutes before he finally disappeared from my sight.

I chuckled. I was left standing in the middle of the court. I moved to the bleachers, wanting to take a seat as I wait for Hadrian.

My face blushed as I try to think about what just happened. Hadrian and I just shared our first kiss. We just cleared our misunderstanding. Does that mean we're now boyfriends? I don't know. Maybe I should ask him later?

The thought of having him as my boyfriend made me feel butterflies in my stomach.

I could not stop thinking about the kiss we shared and his soft lips. I've never felt something so soft before. And the way he angled his face earlier so our noses would not meet was just magical. Gosh. I feel like I can still feel his lips. And having his handsome face so close to me felt so perfect. How I wish that moment lasted for hours. Well, maybe we can do that some other time? What the hell? Kissing for hours? The idea sounds crazy but I am definitely up for it. Lol.

I wonder what lies ahead of our relationship. Surely, there will be a lot of struggles and I am certain because of everything that's  happened in the past weeks. I just wish that we get past them and make things workout. Like I said earlier, I love Hadrian so I want everything to workout for us.

I know that me falling in love with him in a span of days seems so fast but I just do. My heart always skips a beat everytime I see him. I always think of him. I hate the idea of him being with someone else. And I cannot bare being in bad terms with him. Everything just fell into place. I fell inlove. With my roommate.

I saw Arthur come back inside the auditorium and approached me. I have no idea why he's here.

"Hi Gulf," he spoke, a friendly smile on his face.

I raised a brow at him. What does he need this time? I can still remember how he treated me in the past days. I waited for him to continue.

"I know our relationship did not come from a good start. But I hope we can put them behind us and start something new," he said. "Mew told me everything about you and how special you are to him. I apologize for how I acted to you in the past days. I was just being protective of him. We were close friends before. But I know my place. Mew and I are just friends. I hope we can be friends too." Arthur offered his hand.

I was hesitant to accept it. But I did not want to be unreasonable. Maybe he means good.

And perhaps he's right. Maybe we can put everything behind and start something new. After all, if he's still Hadrian's friends, then we'd often see each other. I don't want Hadrian to think that I am being immature if I don't settle things with Arthur. Maybe this is for the best.

In the end, I accepted his hand and shook it firmly.

"See you around," he said. "And please take care of Mew. He's like a brother to me."

I responded with a nod. It wasn't long until he decided to leave.

Something about Arthur felt off. But I did not want to stress myself by overthinking.

When I saw Hadrian jogging towards my direction, I quickly stood from my seat to approach him midway. His hair was wet, this time with water, contrary to earlier with his hair wet with sweat. The smell of his manly perfume immediately attacked my nose. He was now wearing a pair of faded blue jeans, white Nike shoes, and a white Oakley shirt. His duffle bag was hung around his body. At first glance, I thought he was a model. He would definitely pass as one. He's so handsome. I can't believe he's mine.
