Chapter 30: Closer To You

Julio's P.O.V

"I love you," Ethan said, shocking me which I didn't even try to hide. "I always have for so long. I love that we tease each other but there are those times that I wish I did more. I've wanted this for so long. I've wanted you."

I was still staring at him at a loss for words. I wanted to believe that what Ethan was telling me was true. That he actually did love me and was trying to make a healthy relationship work for him again. But I couldn't. I knew who Ethan was when I first moved into the same dorm as him. I knew that he didn't have stable relationships anymore and I knew that he was a flirt. He loves me. Ethan Costello, my roommate, loves me.

"Ethan I-"

"I don't expect you to say it back right now, Julio," Ethan said, cutting me off. "Take the time you need. I just wanted you to know-"

"I love you too, Ethan," I blurted those words out too quickly for me to even process. But it was true. I knew that it was true because those times that we spent teasing each other made me realize it. And just that time when he was drunk made me realize that it was something I would do again and have that mean something to the both of us.

I smiled then grabbed his face, pulling closer so then our lips could touch and when they did, I could feel myself melting at his touch. We've kissed before but this time it felt different. It felt real.

"I want this," Ethan spoke softly to me when he pulled away.

"I want you," I said quickly, and there it was. His signature smirk which I got used to seeing now.

"You still want to shower?" he asked, his hands still on my waist, holding my body close to his.

"Did you want to join?" I asked with a seductive smile that I knew he was folding under.

"So now I get an invite?" he questioned with a chuckle.

I pressed my lips to his again hoping that he knew I wasn't going to ask again, and I was thankful that he got my message. His lips left mine so he could pick me up which shocked me because I didn't think he was this strong. I straddled my legs around his waist and didn't waste any more time to press my lips to his again this time with more force.

I would be lying if I said that I wished our clothes were already so we could just get straight to the shower part. But there was a step-by-step process we had to take which involved both of us removing our clothes. When we got to my room, I let my feet hit the floor so then I could remove my shirt first. Ethan closed the door with his eyes still on me while he started removing his clothes along with me.

This wasn't a slow process. We rushed through it, tossing our shirts on the ground before forcing our pants off and then our boxers right after. He stepped out of his and then grabbed my hand, pulling me behind him to the bathroom. I nearly slammed the door to the bathroom shut because of how fast we were moving but I didn't let that bother me.

This time Ethan was the one to press our lips together while we both stepped into the shower. The glass door to my shower was always open after I finished and once, we were both inside he closed it. He pushed my back against the wall, and I couldn't help but let out a gasp to escape my mouth from the force. Ethan's lips made immediate contact with my neck, kissing and sucking until he left his mark. I heard the sound of the shower starting to come on and soon enough the water was hitting us, drenching our bodies so they were no longer dry.

"Fuck," I swore breathlessly when I felt his erection against my own.

His lips found their way back to mine and his hand was gripping my throat only enough, so I was still able to breathe. The kiss was quick and sloppy, but it didn't bother me at that moment. They were back on my neck after he turned my head, giving him enough room to suck on my skin to leave another mark. I felt his hand that wasn't on my throat make its way to where I wanted it to be. Once it was there, slowly he started to rub my erection which caused me to let another moan escape my mouth.
