The Roommate

Part 8

In the morning...
°August °

I woke up and took care of my daily morning routine, and ran downstairs to start breakfast. As I was placing food on the two plates on the counter I heard someone clear their throat and I turned around to see Brooke walking into the kitchen dressed like she was last night but in a red dress and black socks. I looked her in her face and she looked annoyed and half dead.

"Good Morning baby" I said smiling at her and sliding a plate in front of her

"Good Morning" she said dryly

"I'm not hungry" she said pushing the plate away

"Look its Saturday morning and I could have still been in bed sleep but I got up, and made breakfast, so you're going to sit your ass there and you're going to eat that damn food" I splat

I watched her as she slid the food in front of herself and picked up her fork to begin eating. She stared back at me while she took the first bite out of her sausage. I sat next to her and we ate breakfast together in silence, then we washed the dishes in silence, and she put on her white Converse, and grabbed her keys, before she walked out she grabbed her purse off of the couch and thanked me.

*Hazel *

I walked downstairs to open the door for Brooke. Then I put on my shoes as she sat on the couch. I grabbed my things and we walked to her car. We got in and she drove off. I leaned back and sung alone to August's music that played on the radio. I watched Brooke as she leaned over and turned the radio.

"You ok?" I asked now sitting up

" I'm just fine" she answered making a shape right into the malls parking lot

"Where's August? Are you guys ok?" I asked

"He should be at work or on his way there...and he's ok but I just feel like he does respect me enough... he's always bringing up the fact that it's his house, it's mine too, I still pay rent every month, so he doesn't have the right to make me feel like I do nothing" she blurted out as she parked

"I'm sorry. Did ya'll talk about it yet?" I asked as we got out of the car

"We fought over it last night, I tried to leave but he wouldn't let me, I told him I was moving out, but he begged me to stay, he told me that if our relationship got stronger that I'll just end up moving back in with him, and I stayed because I know it's true" she answered as we walked into Victoria Secret

" Maybe you should try being more open to him, like I am to Chris" I suggested

" How am I suppose to do that when I feel like he's going to cheat on me every chance he gets" she responded

" Yesterday I walked in the house after coming from the park, and I smell weed and hear loud ass music, and I know he doesn't want me in his studio, but that's  where it was coming from, so I walked down a few of the stairs to see what he was doing, and I seen him and some of his friends drinking and smoking, while they watched some strippers dance around them" she addes

"Really? Was Chris there?" I asked

" Of course he was" she answered

"I'm sorry if I upset you when I said that" she added

"Naw.. I'm just pissed cause he keep lying about where he going"

"Anyways, back to your problem. I think you should show him more attention, he told Chris that he feels like you don't want to be with him, and that you are to distant with him, he wants you to show him more attention" I added trying not to hurt her feelings

* Brooke *

I felt stupid because I didn't even know that I wasn't acting like a girlfriend should. I've been blaming him for everything when it is my fault. I'm going to go home and cook him a nice dinner, and try to show him the attention he wants. I don't know how I am going to do that because he is my first boyfriend, but I guess I'll have to try. Anyways, I grabbed some PINK shorts and a PINK bra that matched it, then I found a lacey shirt that was August's favorite color, so I grabbed that too. I paid for my clothes, and waited for Hazel to pay for hers then we left. We walked and talked, then we left and I took her home. Once I got home I checked the time and it was 7:30 pm, so I cooked dinner and ran upstairs, and laid all of my clothes on the bed, then I took a shower and got dressed. I heard the door slam and I knew August was home, so I ran downstairs and caught him in the kitchen.

" Hey" I said walking pass him and grabbing both of our plates out of the oven.
I gave him his plate and sat across from him. He thanked me and we began eating , once we finished I quickly cleaned the kitchen as he sat on the couch watching football. After I finished cleaning the kitchen, I ran upstairs to put on some more perfume, and fix my hair & makeup. Once I felt like everything was OK I ran back downstairs, and turned all of the light off. Then I walked over to the TV and stood in front of it.
"Move" he said dryly
I was kind of feeling bad again about the way I've been treating him, and I was getting a bit scared because of his facial expression. I walked over to the couch and sat close to him, and he moved over, so I moved closer, and grabbed him hand, but he moved again, and snatched his hand away from me. I'm not going to lie, that hurt my feelings because I'm trying and he's making it more difficult for me. I got up and walked out the front door, I sat on the porch, trying to hold in my tears. I'm so confused, I'm new at all of this, I've never experienced being in contact with a boy because in High School I was considered one of the lames . I'm worried that I might just fuck up my first relationship. My thoughts were cut short by the clearing of a throat and I turned to see August.

"What did you want earlier?" he asked

"It's not important anymore" I answered walking back into the house

I sat on the couch and August sat next to me. I felt him looking at me so I turned in his direction and kissed him. He kissed me back slowly and I climbed on top of him, sitting in his lap. We made out for about 5 minutes, until I moved to his neck and started to suck on it. I moved away to see I left him with a hickie. I don't know what got into me, but the way I kissed all over August felt like it was natural, and the way he kissed me back I loved it.

" I love you" he blurted out

" I love you too" I said hugging him

" What's happening with you?" he asked

"You cooked me my favorite meal for dinner, your wearing this fine ass outfit with my favorite color, and you just made out with me" he added

" I want everything to change between us, I want you to be happier, and I want to be happier." I replied

He smirked and bit his lip at me before laying me on the couch and climbing on top of me.
