Roommates

Chapter 3

Esther

After a tiring night of binge watching teen wolf with Lucas and Rose I wake up to find myself still in the recliner chair from that night. I look over to the couch to find Rose cuddled into Lucas's arms and they're both sound asleep. Cuties. I grab my phone and see that the time is 9:30am. I need to start looking for a job today before Uni starts tomorrow. I gotta pay for these Uni fees somehow. I get up leaving the two sleeping beauties and slowly and quietly walk to the staircase. I walk upstairs into my room. I grab my undergarments and go to my closet and grab a white flowy dress to wear. I grab my coconut body wash and a bottle of shampoo and conditioner from one of the boxes in my room I'm still yet to unpack and I walk to the upstairs bathroom. I lock the door so no one can walk in on me. I definitely wouldn't want that to happen. 

I get undressed and get the water to the right temperature before stepping in. I start off by wetting my hair and then I squirt some shampoo into my hand and I start massaging it into my head. Once it all lathered up I start to rinse it out and then put the conditioner in. Once I condition my hair I rinse it out and grab my delicious smelling body wash and start massaging it all over my body. Once I feel clean I turn the water off and hop out the shower. I wrap a towel around my body and open the door. I look down the hall to see if anyone is there. It's clear. I turn around to start walking to my bedroom and run into a hard body. I look up to see Ashton. "S-sorry" I stutter a little flustered. He glares at me and says "watch where you're going" and pushes past me into the bathroom and slams the door. I jump at the door slamming. Seriously what is his problem? I hold the towel around me tightly thankful it didn't fall off and walk to my bedroom shutting and locking the door behind me. I begin to get dressed in the outfit I chose for today and then I stand in front of my mirror to do something about my hair.

I decided I would just let my hair air dry. Anyone with curly hair would know that using a blowdryer or brushing curly hair is a bad idea. It will literally go poof. And I don't want that. I detangle my hair with my fingers and then grab some mascara and coat my lashes. The usual. I don't wear much makeup unless I'm going to a party or some fancy event. And with that I grab my resume's that I had printed for the job applications and I walk down the stairs to have a quick breakfast and go job hunting. 

I decide on having some cereal. I pour my cereal into a bowl and then pour in the milk. I sit at the kitchen table eating my cereal. My mind slips to the encounter I had with Ashton this morning. He was wearing a pair of block boxers with a white shirt that moulded to his chest. His hair was all messy and all over the place. He must have just woken up. He looked good considering he just woke up. I hit my forehead a couple of times. Stop thinking of Ashton like that! "What are you doing?" I'm pulled out of my thoughts by Rose, she gives me a weird look. "Hmm what?" I ask. "Why are you hitting your forehead you weirdo" she says. "Just trying to wake myself up" I lie. I'm not telling her my thoughts about Ashton. She'll try hooking us up. And I definitely don't want that. I'm pretty sure he hates me anyway.

I walk up the stairs to use the upstairs bathroom since Lucas is using the one downstairs. I see Esther coming out of the bathroom and looking down the hall. She probably doesn't want anyone seeing her in just a towel. Wait. She's only in a towel. I start feeling a little awkward. She does look good though. With her wet hair and the droplets of water glistening off her body. I stand there admiring her. Then she turns around and runs straight into me. Her wet body on mine. She smells so good. Like coconuts. She looks up at me with her sparkling blue eyes. I snap out of it. I'm supposed to hate this girl. "S-sorry" she stuttered clearly a little taken aback. I glare at her and say "watch where you're going" and push past her into the bathroom where I slam the door shut.
