My Roommate's Secret

2 MICAH

I left the room and quietly closed the door, trying not to wake anyone. That threesome last night had been amazing, but it was over and I did not want to deal with that guy Amara and I had picked up from some bar last night, so I'd leave that to her.

Obviously, they did not wake up, since there was no angry Amara running after me, so I contently walked down the hall to get to my own room.

Suddenly I ran into someone and looked up ready to insult the person who did not look where they were going, when I realized it was my best friend Jamil.

"Oh...", I just said and he frowned: "What are you doing here?"

"Um, just ... walking?"

I bit my lip and prayed that he would believe me.

Usually, I did not hide anything from him, but Amara was his sister and I did not want him to now that I slept with her. I was bi and she was very fun to mess around with every once in a while, especially when we went to clubs and took some guy or girl home with us.

It's not that I did not trust Jamil or that he would hate me if he found out, but it would be kind of weird for him to know, so Amara and I tried to keep it a secret.

"Alriiiight...", he said slowly, gave me another confused look and then walked away. I took a deep breath and then finally made my way to my room.

I was so busy debating whether I should take another nap or get food first, that I did not notice the boy sitting on his bed at first.

"Hi", he suddenly said and I jumped at his voice.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you", he quickly said and unsuccessfully tried to hide the grin that was spreading on his face.

"I'm Micah", I introduced myself to distract him from my embarrassing reaction. But, seriously, food and sleep are very important, so no one can blame me for being distracted by that.

"I'm Loui", he smiled and I nodded.

He was a bit smaller and also paler than me, his eyes were green and his hair had the colour of dark chocolate and was partly covered by a grey beanie.

He looked up at me expectantly, so I asked: "Hey, do you wanna get some food?"

"Sure", he quickly stood up, but then took out his phone.

"Wait a second", he murmured and put the phone to his ear.

A girly voice answered and he started: "Are you ready? We're getting food and-"

The girl said something and he rolled his eyes: "How does that take two hours?"

Now the voice sounded bitchy, until Loui interrupted her: "Okay, okay! Just text me when you're done."

He rolled his eyes again and ended the call, then looked at me: "We can go now."

"Your girlfriend?", I grinned and he seemed to be confused at first, but then quickly shook his head: "No!"

His face turned slightly red and I smiled. He did look kind of cute ...
