My New Roommate (Short story)

0.7

The class gone by but no sign of Veronica. Did she skip class? Bad ass.

"Bro. Let's go out tonight" dan walk towards me. I want to but, I need to find where's veronica. "No bro, I'm not feeling well." Sagot ko naman saknya.

"Not feeling well? Or looking for someone?" I smirk at his words. "It depends." He chuckled and look over my shoulders "looks like both of you are looking for each other"

I turn around just to see veronica walking towards us. "Leave you two" was the last thing dan said then he walked off.

Veronica stopped in front of me. "I-i want you to do something" she stated off. I raised my brow at her and cross my arms waiting her to continue "pretend that you're my boyfriend for just 1 week" woah. Boyfriend? I like her idea. But I'm not easy to get.

"And why would I do that?" Let us see what reason she have. "Because.." She cut off. "Because?" I repeat but in a question tone.

"Do you really have to know?" Of course. I nodded. "Okay. It's because, Ethan. My ex want me back but I refused to. He ask why, and I don't have any reason so I just said that I have a boyfriend. Then he ask who, and, and.."

"And??" She looked down and look back at me. I can tell she's pretty nervous. And I find it hot. Who am I kidding? I always find her hot. Silly. "And I said i-it was you" I grin at her. She really don't have to pretend, if she want me just tell. I won't bite.

"I see..." I said trying to make her more nervous. "I didn't mean to, I was just so nervous the moment he popped up in front of me and I don't want to look like a fool infront of him. He's a fuckboy after all and, and-" I cut her off. She's so defensive. "Hey, hey. Breath, veronica, breath. I'm not judging you. But you know if you only want me all you have to do is tell. I will still agree you know" she furrowed her eyes and shrug

"You know what? Forger it." Oh wait no. You're not going anywhere. She turn around ready to walked out by I grabbed her arm and spun her around. "What do I get?" Think, veronica. Think.

"I'll gave you what you always wanted" oh really? But what do I really want? "And that is??" She closed her eyes before grabbing my face and kissing me. She caught me off guard but soon I kiss her back. I grabbed her ass squeezing it. Then she pulled off. "But that's not what I really want" nice catch Felix. Nice, catch.

"Then what is it?" She asked pissed. I shrug my shoulders "well, I wouldn't agree if you always pull that attitude on me" she rolled her eyes and sigh. "Fine! What do you really want?" I pretend that I'm thinking.

"Hmm. S?" She furrowed her eyes on me. "Sex?" Exactly. But I'll try to play it cool on her. "I will really say Starbucks, but if that is what you want to gave me as a pay for the 1 week then it's fine to me." She hit me playfully in the arm. And I chuckled

"Whay do you really want?" She asked seriously. If she really wanna know what I want then fine. "I want you. To be mine." Let's see is she still agree.

"Deal." And that folks, is how to get your dream girl. The smirk find its way to my face and I motion her to get inside the car.

••••••••••••

She was cooking her especial adobo fromm the Philippines. She said she travel a lot and the Philippines was the best country she have ever seen. And I believe her, there's a Filipino in our school and they were pretty cool. I was sitting on the table waiting for her to get that adobo down here because I'm so freaking hungry.

She put the bowl of adobo in the center of the table and by its smell it's really delicious. We eat and talk about our favorites and hobbies. Then we finished eating and I washed the dishes. Veronica take a bath. Hearing her sing again but only the chorus of the song

I'm lucky I'm in love with my bestfriend

Lucky to have been where we have been

Lucky to be coming home again

This song sounds familiar. It's like, I've been singing it in the past or what.

I quickly grabbed my guitar figuring out the tune of that song. But I failed. I put down my guitar on my lap. I notice a piece of paper inside my guitar. I grabbed it and open the paper.

It was the chords to the song 'Lucky I'm inlove' I quickly play it and sang it also.

Veronica walked out the bathroom already dressed her eyes are furrowed and she walked towards me. "How did you know that song?" She asked I shrug my shoulders "I don't. It's just familiar to me" she sit beside me.

"You know, when I was a kid I used to have a best friend in crime" she started. I put down my guitar and listen to her. "We are best friend since the day me and him was still a sperm" I smirk at her. But she continued to tell me

"We used to sleep together eat together play together and everything. I really miss him" him?

"A boy?" She nodded and lay on her back with her feet on my lap. "Where is he now?" I ask again. She looked a deep breath.

"He was tooken off his parents to London when he was still 11. Since the day he left I locked my self in my room not wanting to talk to anyone except him. Then one day my sister said that he came back here but he don't remember anything." My curiosity will kill me. Where does he lives now? And who is he?

"Do you know where he lives now?" It takes a minute before she answered. "Yes."

"Then why don't you go to him? Tell him you're his best friend, tell him how you miss him" she put her arm on her eyes and gave a sigh. "I don't know. I'm afraid" I don't understand her. Why?

"Afraid of what? That he forgot you? Or because maybe he have a girlfriend?"

"None" I furrowed my eyes on her. "Because maybe, he doesn't love me." Wait what? She's in love with her best friend? "Do you want to find him?" I asked.

She sit and look at me. But she shooked her head and walked out. Again! Always walking out!
