It's Always Been Godfrey ||ROMAN GODFREY||

Jaxon -3

The next morning, when I wake up, I grab a towel and go to my room, then shut the door. I get undressed and wrap the towel around me.

I walk into the bathroom. "Shit! Sorry." I shout, hoping my mom doesn't hear my language. I turn around quickly and run off, shutting the bathroom door behind me.

I didn't realize that Roman is still here, and he's in my bathroom, naked. He's was about to turn the shower on, so his back was facing me, making me see his bare ass. I also saw his back muscles, and I know I shouldn't be thinking this, but, he looks really hot.

I'm lying on my bed daydreaming about the back I just saw. No tattoos, no spots, and not nearly as many hairs on his bum or between his legs as I saw on my dad when I accidentally walked in on him getting changed that one time.

Then Roman barges in making me jump up.
"I'm done. You can use the shower now," He says as he blatantly looks down at my chest. "And, pull your towel up, I can see your boob,"

I look down quickly and see my right boob sticking out. I quickly pull my towel up while Roman is still staring.

"They look good, I can't lie," He chuckles.

"Roman!" I pick up a pillow with my left hand and throw it at him. Making him turn around and walk off laughing.

I walk into my room after showering and hear my phone vibrate on my bed, so I go over and check it.

From Jasmine 💜:
Heyy, I won't be in skl today since I'm going on holiday so I won't be able to give u a lift. Sry xx

To Jasmine 💜:
Heyy, that's fine you don't need to be sorry, have fun on your holiday! X

I get dressed and go downstairs to my mom.

"Mom, could you please give me a lift to school? Jasmine is going on holiday so she can't give me a lift, and I don't wanna walk since I'll be by myself,"
My mom looks at me with her car keys in her hand.
"Sorry sweetheart, but I have work today, and you know I go the complete opposite way to your school and I can't be late," She genuinely seems to feel bad for me.

Roman walks into the living room from the kitchen with a sandwich in his hand.

"I can drive you, Ali." He gives me a smug look.

"Oh, that's so nice of you! Alison would love that, wouldn't you?" She looks over at me, signalling me with her eyes to say yes.

"Of course, mom. I'd love to," I smile, trying not to cry at the thought of being stuck in a car with Roman for about 10 minutes.

Roman hands my mom the sandwich, and she leaves. After 5 minutes of complete silence on our phones, I hear Roman open the front door. "You coming?"

We get into his red Jaguar XK 150.

"Your car looks old," I say.

"It was my fathers," He starts the engine.

"How old is it?" I'm surprised that it's still in good shape.

"Around 63 years old," He starts driving.

After 2 whole minutes of silence, I look over to Roman, who has his eyes glued to the road.

"What do you do in your free time?" I stare at his perfect face and watch his lips move as he speaks.

"I either drink at my house or hang out with my friend Peter,"

"You have friends?" I giggle.

"Yes, that's what I just said isn't it," He sounds irritated.

"You sound irritate. It's just a joke, jeez. Do you not have a sense of humour or something?" I stop giggling.

"Of course I do, I'm not that sad." I see the corner of his mouth curve into a smile. He looks like he's debating whether to say something, so I wait impatiently for him to talk.

"Do... You wanna meet him?" He seems hesitant as he talks, and he flashes his eyes at me.

I smile. "Sure,"

"Tell your mom that you're going on a school trip for 3 days. Say I've already paid it all off, by the way, from Carbondale to Hemlock Grove it'll take around 34 minutes,"

"You travel 34 minutes almost every day just to please my mom?"

"Not just for her, but sure." He shrugs.

He pulls over onto the curb at my school.
He leans over me and opens the door. He's so close to my face.

"I'll be waiting right here," He gets up a little so his face is in line with mine, my lips directly across from his, I could totally kiss him right now I think before unbuckling my seatbelt.

"I'll meet you later. Thanks for the ride, Roman." I smile, and he sits up back in his seat. I get out of the car and close the door.

"He looks a little old for you," Says a familiar voice. I turn around to meet his face.

"Jaxon!" I quickly hug him around the neck.
"Long time no see, I thought I'd be all alone today!" We both laugh.

"Welp, I got home last night. Now before you say anything, I didn't text you when I got back because I wanted to surprise you today. So you don't need to get mad," He lightly punches my shoulder.

Jaxon, my number one friend, my best friend. He's been staying with his aunt for the last 4 months in California because of family issues, and she's the closest family member. The last time we texted was about 2 weeks ago.

"So... Back to that guy, he looks a bit old. How old is he? Jeez, how much did I miss?" He looks sad, I know he had a crush on me last year for a month, and I'm not sure he's over me yet.

"Remember when I told you that my mom was afraid of me meeting my stepdad?"

"Yeah?" He looks like he already guessed it.

"Well... That's why," I get embarrassed.

"Huh, fair enough," He looks relieved, knowing that we don't have anything going on... I don't think we do anyway.
