Roommates... with my Ex Boyfriend (Roommates Series: Book #1)

Chapter 2

The taxi stops in front of a beautiful and huge house and stops the meter. The driver looks back at me and I frown. "Where's the apartment?"

"There's no apartment with that address, it's a house and this is it," he states. "And that'll be fourteen twenty please."

I sigh and give him fifteen, telling him to keep the change. I can't believe he lied to me --- actually, yes I can. I walk out of the taxi and take my five filled suitcases and haul them to the front door of the freaking mansion. I ring the door bell and only a few seconds later a very hot and extremely good looking Jace answers the door. Jace is still taller than me, has light skin, muscles in his arms, chest and most likely has an eight pack now, has dark blue eyes and short straight blonde hair.

Jace smirks. "Wow, look at you... And why so many bags? I never pegged you for the multiple shoe collection girl."

"And I never thought that you were a liar --- oh wait, yes I did," I snap.

"I lied because I knew that you wouldn't want to live here."

"Whatever."

"Geez, who spat in your cereal this morning?"

"My boyfriend."

His eyes widen and I swear I see a flash of hurt in his eyes. "Your boyfriend?"

"Yeah, I have a boyfriend. Is there a problem?"

"No, not at all." He steps aside. "Please come in."

Jace takes three of my bags while I take the other two and we both walk up the stairs. He walks into a room which I'm guessing is my new bedroom and I follow him in. The room has a queen sized bed, a little table with a lamp on it and beside the bed, there's a walk-in closet, a full and proper bathroom attached to it, a drawer for clothes and a shelf filled with books, writing books, pencils, markers, erasers and pencil crayons, a television and a laptop.

"I'll let you settle in and then I'll give you a tour of the place," he says. "I'll be in my bedroom which is just down the hall."

He leaves and I put some clothes in the closet and some in the drawer which takes about fifteen minutes. I sigh and plop down on to my bed. I grab the television remote and turn the T.V on. Orange is the New Black is on and I smile, it's my favourite show.

"When your lesbian show is over, I'll give you a tour," Jace says from the doorway.

I sit up. "You can give me one now. I've seen this episode like four times."

"Okay. Let's go."

During the tour, I learn that there are five floors: the attic, the meeting floor, the bedroom floor, the main floor and the basement.

The attic has nothing in it and isn't used for anything. The meeting floor has a giant room where he and his friends talk about things along with two bathrooms down the hall. The bedroom floor has my bedroom, Jace's bedroom, two guest bedrooms and one bathroom. The main floor has two bathrooms, the living room, the dining room, the television room and the kitchen. The basement has the safety room and also known as the panic room and a room with Jace's and his friends' work supplies.

After the tour, we go back to the main floor and Jace looks at me. "Hungry?" I nod. "Do you want me to order and pizza from Little Caesar's?"

I nod. "Get a --- "

"I know what you like and want. I was your boyfriend for four years, remember?"

"I thought you looked familiar."
