Just Room Mates

ｃｈａｐｔｅｒ- ２０

It's now four days after my Grandmas funeral and two weeks since her death and I'm not going to lie and say it was easy going through this.

Alex helped me through these few days and I can't thank him enough and the realisation that we feel the same about each other comforts me.

The night of the kiss I woke up because of nightmares and he came in and comforted me, then stayed with me the rest of the night.
We have slept in the same room nearly every night except the times when Alex gets back late for being round a friends.

Luckily our classes have been suspended for a few weeks for spring break so I didn't have to face class and people sending me there empty apologies and sympathy. To be honest people feel obliged to say sorry for your loss but that's not what people need.

I sigh as I open up my laptop and turn it on.
"Hey Riley I'm going to the store do you want me to get you anything?" Alex asks approaching me and laying a sweet kiss on my forehead ,covered in pieces of my unruly bed head. My conflicting thoughts make my answer difficult.

"You know what I'll come with you! I need to get out of here." I reply certainly, slamming my laptop shut. Hopefully it'll survive!

Alex looks at me surprised before grinning and giving me a hand to pull me up.
"You know you even look stunning in those pjs and with crazy hair and when you have confidence woah that's a really turn on." He chuckles twirling me into his toned chest, whilst a tomato blush erupts on my cheeks.

"Shuttup ugly!" I groan back at him slapping him with a pillow.
"The quicker we get food and stuff the quicker we can get back and netflix and chill." He jokes cheekily at me.
I glare at his childish comment.

"Woah I didn't know the horny fifth teen year old boys in Starbucks were rubbing off on you!" I say bluntly slapping his chest. Jesus he has really good abs, I'm not even lying! They aren't too defined but they are just perfect and his v line I have no words.

"I feel unloved!" He cries in fake hurt and pretends to wipe away a stray tear.
"Okay you big baby we will do Netflix and chill-axing but no Netflix and chill or I will lock you in the bathroom till you turn seventy!"

"Woah girl the sass is sexy but gees you are one scary chick!" He gasps pulling me towards my closet.

"Now I need to find you something to wear so go get showered and washed and I'll find an outfit!" He winks suspiciously.
"Okay and remember we are going out in public and I don't want to look like a skank!" I yell back and him as he stars searching through my wardrobe.

After I have washed I slip on some underwear and wrap my towel back around me before walking back into my room.

All I see is Alex lounging on my bed and a pile of clothes next to him. As I reach for them and look at the articles of clothing I notice they are all skimpy pieces of clothing.

"Alex these are for sleeping in not for going out!" I sigh in dismay holding up the too small booty shorts and tank top.
"They are sexy though!" He replies smiling pinching my cheeks gently.

"Every guy in a ten mile radius will be staring at my ass Alex." I say rolling my eyes and putting the clothes back in my closet.
"Actually I don't want those guys staring you go pick something I'm awful at this I'm only good at taking off clothes." He replies winking, I frown at his sentence  before realising the sexual innuendo, typical guy.
