STARS POV
When I woke up my body was a bit sore.. which was to be expected. I slung my legs over the side of my bed. The air was chilly today so I searched my closet for a sweater and some joggers before heading out for a morning run. I went to leave a note for Trixx but she left me with one instead.. she was going to visit her mother today and told me not to expect her back till tomorrow night.I put on my spotify Playlist and zoned out on the music to get out of my head.
She never really told me anything personal about herself. Come to think of it I haven't really told her anything either. She knows that I was a foster kid and vague details about my job but not much else. I know she goes to college part time and she works at a sushi place and has 12 siblings but that's about it. Usually I have to have a more personal relationship with someone before handing my body over so willingly... I stoped by a water fountain at the park and drank like i was dying of thirst then continued my run back towards home.
When I walked in the door atlas greeted me with a small headbutt against my leg. I picked him up and cradled him like a baby and sat down at the table. I should've waited to take a shower till today knowing it was cardio day. I decided to give the place a deep clean before taking another shower so I'd be ready for work tomorrow. The rest of the night I binge watched Grimm and eventually passed out on the couch.
When I woke back up it was time eat and get ready for work.
TRIXXS POV
I woke up really early and decided to visit my mother. I needed someone to talk to about star. I entered the private drive and put the code in to open up the gates. My anxiety increased the closer I got to her house. What if she tells me something I dont want to hear. Usually I need to hear it but I just don't like to. I parked the car in the guest spot and was met by my mother standing in the doorway in her satin kimono. I took a deep breath and got out of the car.
"Hi mom." I gave a wry smile
"Who's the boy dear?" I stared at her blankly.
"Wh-what do you-."
"Oh please Bellatrix-" She walked into the house and started getting stuff out for margaritas. "Your face is flushed and you are a bit disheveled. I'm old not blind."
I laughed as she turned the blender on and poured us both a drink. I explained the situation to her and she listened.
"I mean... falling for my roomate could be a horrible mistake."
"Go for it. This... star.. character.. seems loyal to me.." I stared at her like she was crazy.
"What? I mean... you have no arguments to make? Like it's a bad idea? You've only known the guy for like 2 months? You don't really know much about him he could be dangerous? You could end up with
No place to live while going to college? Just nothing?!"
"Sounds to me like you are making your own arguments to avoid getting attached dear. Or like you want me to talk you out of a possible good situation" She walked into the kicthen for a refill while humming.
"Mom... you.. you don't get it... star is... he's too perfect... I don't want to.. I don't want to hurt him if things get messy."
"Messy is all part of falling in love my dear. If he's really as much of a gentleman as you've described... I'm sure he'll surprise you by moving mountains." The front door opened and in walks all of my siblings with grocery bags.
"Mom.. what did you do?"
"I just made a few calls dear."
Everyone bombarded me with hugs.
"A few... you called the cavalry is more like it." My youngest sister Melanie poked my cheeks.
"You're inlove!!" My eyes widened as everyone started ganging up on me with questions which mom decided to answer because my mouth was sealed. We all decided to have a family party and got a fire going in the yard some neighbors came over and it was a pretty good night. I couldn't help but wish star was here. I looked up at all my family and realized I wanted to share moments like this with him. But I wasn't even sure he was straight..or even wanted a relationship I mean.. he took the strap-on like it was not his first time.. maybe all he wants is a FWB situation.. I mean I can handle that but.. I'd have to make sure not to emotionally tie myself down to him which is already becoming an issue for me.
"Aagh" I rubbed my temples and Melanie brought me another drink.
"Quiet your mind.. its giving me a headache.."
"Mel..." I rolled my eyes towards her and we actually had a pretty nice conversation.
"You should talk to him.. be blunt otherwise you'll leave space for inconsistencies in your relationship and what you want from him."
"When did you become so grown-up?" It was actually really good advice.. advice I was considering to take. She laughed and walked closer to the fire and I decided to go to my old room and pass out for the night. I'd be going home tomorrow night and I needed to make a game plan so I needed the rest.
The next morning I started compiling my thoughts and exactly what I would say and the order to say everything in. I wrote it all down on my phone so I wouldn't miss a thing. I thanked everyone for the advice and a good time.. My overthinking gave me anxiety the whole ride home. When I got to the apartment door I took a deep breath and walked in. I got greeted by a dissapointed looking atlas. I sat my keys down in the glass bowl by the door and saw star left me a note.
"Don't wait up for me I'm gonna be working a double tonight. There's food in the microwave. ⭐" He signed the note with a star. I let out a sigh of relief.. atleast I don't have to say anything tonight and I can relax for a bit. I decided to take a bubble bath and raided his cabinet for wine.
