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

Chapter 24

Chapter 24: Auditorium

Hadrian said what needed to be said and I have no reason to be angry. I completely understand and I don't want to make a big deal out of it. His words were painful, I admit. But I know to my heart that he did not mean a single word that came from his mouth. We may have only been together for months, but in that span of time, I have felt how genuine his feelings are for me. I know he only said those words so that his teammates would believe him more.

It's been two weeks since that incident and I had no intention of letting him know I overheard their conversation. I know he already felt bad enough for saying them. I didn't want him to know I heard him. I know he loves me. And I know that kissing me is his favorite hobby.

Anais was very worried about me especially that many of Hadrian's fans were attacking me. When we finally got the chance to sit together at the pub office, I made sure to let her know that I was doing fine and told her that there was nothing going on between me and my roommate.

"Are you sure you're okay? You have every reason to be angry with them. You're not doing anything wrong. And even if it was true, they don't have a say on your relationship."

"I'm fine, Anais. I guess their minds are too shallow to understand. And besides, I'll be fine as long as they don't hurt me physically," I assured her.

"Still, they are not in the position to say mean words to you!"

"I know. But I can't really do anything about it."

"Just please stay out of social media for now. The comments about you are so stressful!" she said, her voice filled with frustration.

I gave her a reassuring smile. "Thank you for being here for me."

Aside from Hadrian and Anais, I don't think I have other friends here in school. I mean I'm friends with my classmates, but not the "friend" type. You know, the ones whom you are comfortable to share your problems with. Well, there was Hughie. But I think it's for the best that we stay out of each other's way. I bet he's still angry with me.

"How I wish the rumors were true. I'd be fangirling over your relationship. I watch Thai BL series, you know," she winked at me.

"I'm not Hadrian's type. I mean Mew's type. He prefers girls."

She shrugged her shoulders. "If it wasn't Mew, then who was it then? I really thought you were straight! I'm sorry for assuming."

"It's okay. It was just some random guy at the restaurant. I got attracted so we shared a kiss. That's all."

Anais gave me a nod, as if she was convinced with all my lies.

I know. I'm a terrible friend. But I guess this is for the best. The lesser people know, the lesser chance of the news breaking out. And if Anais ever finds out, I'm pretty sure she'll understand my reasons.

I'm still a member of the publication by the way. I couldn't give a valid reason why I was resigning. I couldn't mention my previous neglect of duties especially after Hughie saved my ass during those times. It's not that I didn't want the others to find out about me being irresponsible. It was just that I didn't want Hughie to turn out bad with him faking the articles to be mine even if they were really his.

"Damn this bitch! She called you a monkey!" Anais frustratingly said as she scrolled through her phone. "I visited her profile and I'm sure as hell that she's the one that looks more like a monkey! The audacity!"

I tried to get up from my bed but Hadrian was quick enough to put me under him. He climbed on top of me before he claimed my lips and kissed me deeply. We've been making out for almost thirty minutes now.
