And They Were Roommates

Chapter 1

-Eli's POV-

I walked into my new place with my parents and was greeted with the smiling face of my roommate, Asher Gonzalez. Asher was someone who was shy, however had a kind smile. Some would say it's a smile a father would give. He has tanned skin and a wider physique with a round face. I thought he was cool and definitely someone who seemed like a good first friend to my college experience. However, I don't know how he'll feel about my plans to get with whichever girl is willing to spread her legs.

I'm starting over though, that's all that matters.

"Hey man, where you from?" Asher spoke in a curious tone.

"Hey, I'm from Coppell, what about you?"

"I'm from another island that isn't this one." Asher said in a way that seems closed off. I didn't push for answers since we just met, but that was something I might pry out of him later. Our interaction was short and cut off because we had to quickly unpack as much as we could since we would be attending a camp together for all of the first year students, although not all the first year students attended. I saw it as a great opportunity to meet some girls to hopefully hook up with later. We finished packing what we could before hopping onto the bus for camp.

Camp was uneventful and boring to say the least besides the occasional interactions I did have with some girls. Asher made it more interesting with his awkward jokes and phrases. So far Asher was the only roommate I had met and I was waiting for the other two roommates to come as well and I was anticipating meeting them soon.

We left the camp to come back to our new home on campus, which was a relief. We returned on the official move in day for all freshmen so I was hoping to meet my other roommates but to my surprise they still were not there. I shrugged it off and continued with Asher to our first night of orientation which was a night at the campus pool to swim and eat free food. I was more interested in seeing girls in their bikinis.

However, I ended up playing pool basketball more than watching girls. Didn't want to come off as too stalkerish, you know. While in the pool, a girl that I recognized from camp was there with a few others.

"Hey you're Tarzan, right?" She questioned.

"That's one of my many nicknames, but my real name is Eli" I responded coolly.

She gave me a 'don't-even-try' look before sweetly replying.

"The name is Willow, I just remember seeing you at camp so I thought I'd say hello"

"Okay... well hi." I replied slightly more confused, she wasn't horrible looking in fact I might put her as a back burner but she seems to already not have a great impression of me. However, the blonde girl that was in her group seemed more my type, short, curvy, and a beautiful smile. If looks were personality, she'd be golden.

"What's everyone's name?" I heard Willow ask suddenly once she had enough of my confused staring.

Linc was the first to answer in which Willow seemed a little too intrigued to hear his name and after getting everyones name they went off on their own discussion. However that was not where I was focused, I was more interested in the blonde girl shyly off to the side conversing with an older female. Her name was stuck in my brain... Samantha, a little basic but her name isn't what matters, it's that she knows to scream mine later.

Even though I was trying to look like a macho man with all my glorious muscles, she seemed to be oblivious to the masterpiece sharing the water with her. After a few more glances I decided the effort currently wasn't worth it, plus she's a freshman so I'll see her around.

After the pool event Asher and I, with a few friends, weren't quite ready to call it a night so we invited the small group to join us at the housing pool near the dorms. After a little reluctance they agreed to join us, after getting to know everyone a little better I realized that these people weren't that bad of a friend group and we had a lot of fun that night.

Showing off my muscles at the pool by throwing people around and letting them hang off my masculine arms, I soon realized that Samantha was very standoffish when it came to touching others, especially the guys. Once everyone was getting ready to leave, Asher invited the group to hang at our place, which was fine by me except that Samantha said that she was going to go home first to change and Willow, being her roommate, was going with her to change before hanging out.

After Asher and I got back I decided I would freshen up before Samantha and Willow got back because I was determined to have someone come to bed with me.

Once I exited the shower Willow and Samantha were already back and sitting on the couch conversing lightly with the other girls, Ally, Amelia, and Heaven. Ally was small, cute and bubbly. Amelia was a bigger girl with a dark sense of humor and Heaven was awkward and very bratty. Even though all these women were in my apartment, I was still more tempted to try my luck with Samantha, but as soon as I sat down she scooted away from me. She then quickly changed the topic to significant others, where she began to explain how happy she was in her year long relationship, this then lead to Willow also talking about her boyfriend of a few months.

Talk about a turn off...

Taking the hint for now, I scooted closer to Ally since the other two were more concerned about establishing their relationship status. Ally was a doe eyed girl with a more feminine personality than the other two, even though she wasn't the original target, I guess she'll do. After cuddling with Ally and Heaven, Samantha pointed out that it was getting late and that they probably should start heading out, reluctantly I let them leave.

Ally, Amelia and Heaven ended up staying the night at ours however which meant more touches for me and Ally. I waited until the others fell asleep to make an official move. Sliding my left hand teasingly up her thigh, I used my right hand to move her face to mine, into a slow burning kiss. The goal was to make her want more of me, and from her reaction to the kiss, it seemed to be working.

The biggest cockblock that night was the fact that the other girls were also sharing the bed with us, so she wanted to stop after a few kisses leaving me high and dry... man tonight is just not my night.

A/N 

I am aware that as of right now Eli is not a very likable character but there cant be room for improvement without something to improve.

I would also like to reestablish that this is a slow burning book, for the true adventure you have to be ready for a long haul. . ;P
