Once A Liar

Chapter Three: Jesus Christ I just fucked my roommate

PARKER's POV

I rubbed my eyes with my hands as I woke up. My head pounded hard and the little bit of daylight that shown through the room didn't help the pain.

"Good morning!" Holden said loudly, causing me to jump.

I groaned in response to him and let my eyes shut again.

"Hey," I heard and felt him poke my arm.

I forced my eyes to open against my inner will and looked up at him. He stood next to my bed and held out a plastic bottle of water. He shook it a couple of times in front of my face.

I grabbed it from him and sighed. Pieces of last night flashed inside my mind when my eyes closed.

Fuck.

I couldn't remember everything and the the things that I could remember were still a bit blurry.

I looked back at Holden who smiled at me.

"Last night was fun!" He smirked sitting down next to me.

One night stands didn't really work well when you lived with the person.

"Yeah," I sighed quietly.

"Wanna hit the gym with me?" He asked.

"No," I replied instantly because of instinct. "I mean, I'll pass today."

He nodded his head.

"Okay, well I'll see you for lunch later then!" He leaned forward and kissed my cheek quickly before I could react in anyway.

After he left the room I still laid in the same position in shock.

I hated when I got so drunk that I fucked anything in front of me. That's exactly how I ruined things with Cole. Apparently that didn't teach me anything because Jesus Christ I just fucked my roommate.

Holden seemed nice and all, but it hadn't been my intention to have sex with him. Not so soon—anyway. He was the only friend that I really had. And that's literally only because we were roommates. Now where did we stand? Would it be awkward? I didn't want to ruin our new friendship and hurt him, but I wasn't even over Cole yet.

AERO's POV

"I don't want to go," Thomas groaned.

I felt his heart beat against my head through his rising chest. I was snuggled up against him tightly.

"But you have to," I told him. "You have to actually start your classes at some point."

"But I'm so comfy," he complained rubbing my back with his hand.

I laughed at him when he squeezed me tighter after I tried to get up.

"I have to go too, you know," I chuckled at him.

I was actually really excited for my journalism class. It was part of what I actually wanted to do in life. The professor seemed cool too which made me even more excited to be in the class.

As I rolled away from Thomas, I paused when I was sat on the edge of the bed. I loved him and was very glad to be back here with him but I was still innerly conflicted with our relationship and all of the issues we kept running into.

"Hey," I began slowly, scared of how this conversation was going to go. Thomas sat up quickly with a look of concern. He narrowed his eyes and asked, "What's wrong?"

I took in a deep breath and responded, "I really appreciate that you've been being more honest with me about you past."

"But?"
