My Roommate, The Fukboi (BoyxBoy)

Chapter 17

* Theo's POV *

I felt like I haven't talked to Calum all day. I talked to him in the morning and then I left. He worked till five and I went out till eight. But today was amazing.

I met a guy named Adrian and he is awesome. I went to the public library and he works there as a librarian. He was supposed to help me search for a book but instead we ended up losing ourselves in conversation. We exchanged numbers and talked for a while and then I left and stopped by work, getting some cookies to take home. I was in a great mood and I felt like jumping up and down. A little part of me felt guilt but I ignored it.

I wanted to talk to him so bad but I didn't want to annoy him.

Then he hit me with: I've been waiting all day to text you. I'm sorry if I'm annoying you but I wanted to talk with you.

I didn't want to text and drive so I stayed at the bakery and texted him for awhile, smile on my face. He had light brown hair and baby blue eyes.

When I got back, Calum was sitting down in the living room, watching tv. I felt the guilt rising up as I realized that he was the reason I couldn't really enjoy the pleasure of talking to Adrian. Calum made me gasp for air and Adrian made my cheeks flush. Adrian was 6'0 and had an athletic build but not as much as Calum did.

He looked over at me. "Oh, hey." I said. I honestly didn't expect him to be here. I thought he'd work a double.

"Where have you been?" He asked, watching me. I dropped my keys on the counter and kicked my shoes off in my room. When I came back, I noticed a bag of Taco Bell on the counter. I dug through it.

I don't know why but I didn't want to tell him about Adrian so I just avoided the whole question. "When did you get this?" I asked. Luckily, he got the hint and dropped it.

"Around five." He said. I nodded and dug through the bag, sitting down on the stool that was behind the counter. He turned off the tv and stood. I received another text and I pulled out my phone, smiling.

I looked up when he walked back in. "You about to take a shower?" I asked. He just nodded and went to the bathroom.

While he was in the bathroom, I went and laid down on the couch, turning the tv on. Adrian said he had to go to bed early so I left him alone. He's 21, three years older than me, and in college.

Calum walked back out and he passed me, not saying a word. "Calum?" I called after him. I sat up on the couch and looked over at him. He poked his head out and looked over at me

"Are you going to bed?" I asked, staring at him.

"Yeah, goodnight." He said.

"Goodnight." And he closed his door. I went to bed a few minutes later. I turned off the tv and undressed and climbed into bed.

*******

My phone alarm woke me up around six. I sat up and rubbed my eyes, still dazed from sleep. I yawned and stood. I walked over to the bathroom door and opened it, still rubbing my eyes. I look up and see Calum standing there, towel wrapped dangerously low around his waist. He turns and looks at me, toothbrush in his mouth.

I take a step back and shut the door. I just stand there, looking at the door. I replayed the image in my head. His hair was still wet and messy from the shower and his chest was fully revealed. My face heated up. I heard the door shut so I slowly opened the door. The bathroom was clear so I walked in. It's gonna be awkward at school. I brushed my teeth and took a quick shower.

When I was done, I put on a random shirt and some jeans. I put on my sneakers and fixed my hair. I never used to fix my hair before but now I genuinely wanted to. I scanned myself in the mirror. Nothing different.
