Chapter 3

JAYLA

I'm awoken by the sound of a door slamming. I sit up quickly and grab my phone, just in case i have to call the police. There's footsteps sounding around the kitchen.

I decide to just get up and see who it is. I open the door and walk towards the kitchen. I'm stopped in my tracks when a gun is pulled on me. I freeze in pure shock. 

"Who the fuck are you?" The man asks in a deep voice that sends nerves all throughout my body. "I-um, Jayla, your new roommate. I thought Dimitri would tell you once he talked to me about it.". I can see his face relax just the slightest bit at the mention of Dimitri.

He lowers his gun, "I'm going to fucking kill him"he grumbles lowly, and I slump my shoulders in relief. I take the time to really look at him. He has beautiful grey eyes with messy brown hair that sits just right, a lean built body with abs that I can see through his tight black shirt. His chiseled cheekbones were carved perfectly. God definitely took his time on this man.

"Are you done?" He asks nonchalantly.
I'm taken aback by the suddenness of his question. "Excuse me?" I ask confused. "Are you done staring at me, it's getting weird" He asks while looking me up and down. I notice that it's not sexually it's just casual. He's still staring though.

Who's the weird one now?

"Sorry, sir," I say in an almost whisper. I turn on my heel and decide to head back into my room. A shower is definitely needed after this long day. I lock my bedroom door and head over to my new walk-in closet. It's definitely bigger than my last one.

that's what she said

I grab a black silk button up with matching silk shorts.

I head into the bathroom and hop into the shower. When I get out the mirror is completely fogged up. I grab my towel and dry myself off. After I finish getting dressed, I decide to head into the kitchen.

I peer around the corner before walking in, and sigh of relief when I don't see Damien around. I walk to the refrigerator just to be disappointed. This man has nothing in here. I check the pantry and I'm met with the same disappointment.

"I'll just order in Chinese food" I say quietly to myself. I hear a floorboard creak and I snap my head to where the noise came from. Stilling my movements. Damien appears from his room and looks at me before rolling his eyes. He goes to sit on the couch in the living room.

"Hey, how come you have no food here?" I ask, walking up to him. He's scrolling on his phone not even bothering to look up at me. "I do have food in my house, just not anything that you find appeasing." He announces coldly. His voice is so deep, if I put my head on his chest while he talks i'll feel it rumble.

Weirdo..

I shake the thought from my head and begin to walk away when i'm stopped by a hand on my wrist. "I'll order you some food if you want" he breathes before quickly removing his touch from my wrist. I smile not passing up the opportunity for free food. I ask for chinese food and tell him my order.

I go sit in my room, because it doesn't seem like he wants to be bothered. So I just scroll through tiktok to pass the time.

It's not 9:30PM and i've already eaten and i'm laying in bed. After the food came I didn't see Damien for the rest of the night. I asked if he wanted to watch a movie but he just ignored me and went straight to his room.

What an asshole

A hot one.

You think his asshole is hot?

My face starts to burn up from the embarrassment that I get from myself. I just came up with the assumption that he's had a bad day or maybe his girlfriend dumped him. I shrug, it's not my problem and I definitely won't make it my problem.
