Roommates

Chapter 2

Ashton

_____

"Hey Ashton!" I hear Lucas yell "come meet our new roommates." I grunt and finish drying my body after just getting out off the shower. I put on a pair of boxers and continue to dry my hair as I walk out of the bathroom. In the living room stands Lucas and two girls. "This is Ashton guys" Lucas states "and this is Esther and Rose our new roommates" he points to each of the girls introducing them to me. "Hey" the two girls both say in union. I don't say anything, I just let out a groan and walk off into my bedroom. I know that was a pretty rude thing to do, but I couldn't really care less. I don't want to be roommates with a pair of girls, they're just going to slut around and bring every guy they meet over. They look like the type. Just like her, my ex. She cheated on me with multiple guys on a number of occasions. Lucas is always calling me grumpy, but you'd be grumpy too if the girl you once loved cheated on you multiple times. She destroyed my trust in her and every other girl I come across. 

I lay in bed thinking about how I walked away without saying anything. The way that Esther girl looked at me. I couldn't help but end up feeling bad about it. She looked really cute standing there in that white top and light blue jeans on. And the way it hugged her petite body with her thick grey curly hair running wild. She must dye her hair I thought, it couldn't be natural. But either way I like it. No I thought to myself, you can't be attracted to this girl Ashton. She's just like my ex I said to myself, just like every other slut in this city. I can't like her, I hate her.

I wake up a couple hours later and look out my window to see that the sun is just setting. I must have been out for a few hours. I stretch and make my way downstairs to see Lucas and Rose sitting on the couch together. I smile. "Hey you two" I say to them sitting on the recliner chair beside the couch. "Hey" they smile at me. We sit in the living room for awhile watching 'The Big Bang Theory' one of my favourite shows. After awhile of watching Tv Ashton comes out. He's wearing a pair of grey tracksuit pants that hang low on his waist and a white top that clung to his chest. Damn he looks good. Stop it Esther I say to myself. "Hey man" Lucas says cutting off my thought's as Ashton sits next to him on the couch. "Hey" Ashton replies quietly. I look at him and he stares at me with his caramel eyes, giving me a look of anger and then he looks away. I furrow my brows. What the hell was that I thought. I ended up just letting it go and continued to watch whatever was on the Tv now.

"So" Lucas breaks the silence after awhile, "how old are you Esther?" he asks. "Eighteen" I reply "and what about you two?" I ask. "Me and Ashton are both nineteen" he states. Like Ashton can't answer for himself. Not that he would answers me after the death glare from before. "Cool" I say. "So your going to Uni then?" he asks. "Yeah" I say. "That's cool, what are you studying?", "a double degree in psychology and criminology" I reply unfazed. I can feel their stares on me. I look up and Ashton's smirking at me. "What?" I say, "you just don't look like the type to study something so... sophisticated" Ashton replies. I frown. "Then what type do I look like? Huh?" I confidently ask him. He just shakes his head and gets up and mumbles "doesn't matter" as he walks back to his bedroom. I look at Lucas and say "what was that". He shrugs and says "I don't know, that's the longest conversation he's had with someone other than me in a long time". "Why doesn't he talk to anyone?" I ask Lucas. "I don't know" he replies "he won't tell me anything, and when I ask he just gets angry". Lucas looks sad. I guess I would be sad too if Rose kept things from me. I mean were best friends and best friends tell each other everything. Rose rubs Lucas's arm in order to comfort him. He smiles at her. I roll my eyes at them and keep watching Tv. Oooh 'Teen Wolf' is on my favourite!

I went back to my room after cutting mine and Esther's conversation short. I'll admit she surprised me with her choice of study. I expected her to be into fashion and that makeup shit girls always plaster on they're faces. Half of them look like clowns when they wear it. I laugh to myself thinking how terrible my ex looked when she done her makeup, it was literally orange. I cringe.  I'm glad Esther doesn't look like she did. She looks incredibly beautiful and the way her light blue eyes sparkled when she was looking at me. Ughh I groan shoving the pillow into my face I can't think like this. I should hate her. I need to hate her.

However, I continue to think about her throughout the night. I think about the way she looked at me earlier today, seeing my half naked body after I'd just gotten out the shower. I smile and turn around and fall into a deep sleep filled with dreams of my new roommate.
