-Jennifer's POV-

Taking Place In: The Flat

___

___

       I quickly walked out of Ellie's room because I knew if I didn't, I would surely kiss her. Look, many tell me, or i've read online, that it's not okay to fall in love with your best friend, or your flatmate, or someone of the same sex. But, I really don't care. Ellie is one of those girls who can make you smile for hours, hours that would turn into days. And she just gives me this feeling where if I would hug her, I would never let go. If you would hug this damn girl just once, you would never want to let go. Her scent of vanilla just sticks to your nose and you can't get enough of it. Ellie Goulding is a drug. My drug.

     When I moved in with Ellie, she told me that she was Bi. So, if I was against Bisexuals, I could leave right then and there. But, I was the same. I just never told her. Knowing she's Bi herself, i'm still afraid. And i'm not even sure why.

I'm not afraid to say, that oreos made me fall in love with my flatmate.

God, oreos are just the best. And being the best, they made me fall in love with my own flatmate. And I think that's perfectly normal.

One day, Ellie came home drunk, like shit-faced. She kept laughing and giggling. Kept saying she's fine.

She kissed me for god knows how long and then said she's been waiting to do that for years.

Many say that 75% of the time, drunks are telling the truth. What if Ellie was the 25% who tell a lie? I believe she forgotten about the kiss cause she never said anything the next morning.

-Ellie's POV-

      I never forgot about our kiss that night when I came home drunk. She thinks I did, because I didn't say anything about it. How could I? I have feelings for my straight flatmate, and my sexual feelings towards her exploded and I kissed her. Pissed drunk.

-Jennifer's POV-

          I took a shower, having Ellie knock on the door saying she'll be downstairs. I nodded, but automatically realizing that she can't see me. 

"Alrighty, Ellie! I'll be downstairs soon. How about you throw out the toothpaste oreos and set out a new batch? Maybe later, we'll go out to the mall?"

"Sounds great, darling."

             She honestly makes me happy. Like, no one calls me darling or babe. It's new to me, and I'm taking it all in before she stops. I washed my hair, my body and got out, wrapping a warm towel around my body. I walked to my room to see Ellie in there. I leaned on the door and cleared my throat. She jumped out, surprised I showered quickly.

"El, you okay?"

"Uhh-I-umm-yeah! I just wanted to observe your room?" She stuttered out.

"Is that a question?" I replied, laughing.

"N-n-no!" 

"Well, if you don't mind, I have to change. So shoo!" I said, kicking her out of the room and closing the door right away. Getting changed quickly, I walked out the door, seeing Ellie sitting on the floor, probably waiting for me. I closed my door and sat on the floor, leaning on the door.

"Ellie, what are you doing?"

"I'm just sitting here."

"No reason?"

She played with her fingers, trying to avoid the question. She licked her lips, roughed her hair up a bit, and bit her bottom lip.

"Ellie?"

"Jennifer?"

"Ellie, why the hell are you sitting on the floor?"

"I can ask you the same, sweetcheeks."

"I'm just mocking you,"

"I was just waiting for you. I have to talk to you." Ellie whispered.

"Okay. Wanna talk here? Like on the floor?" I said and smiled.

She looked up and put on a smile which looked scared. She nodded her head and sighed. I crawled right next to her and sat down. She put her hand on my knee and giggled. I looked at her, having me confused.

"Did I ever tell you, that i'm in love with this person?" 

My eyes widen and i began pouring out with questions. Like who is this person, since when did she love this person, does she know him or her. She put a finger to my lips and laughed. 

"God, let me finish, Jenn." 

I nodded, but she still had her finger on my lips.

"This is probably out of the ordinary, but I moved in with this person." she whispered, trying to see if I understood what she just said. I didn't.

"Wait, you're moving out to live with this person?" I mumbled.

"Oh my god. I fell in love with someone who doesn't even understand that i'm trying to say that i'm in love with her." she laughed at herself.

 "Wait! Ellie, don't go! I didn't mean to say that! I do love you, but i'm not sure about my feelings!"

"I try so hard for you, Jennifer! More than I ever did! Did you know that!" Ellie screamed out.

"Oh god Elena! Just don't lea-."

"Don't fucking use my real name, Jennifer." Ellie growled.

"I will till you understand that I do notice how hard you tried for me!"

"Well, I'm done with you, Jenn. God, why is it so easy to fall in love with you and hard to hate you?!" Ellie screamed to herself.

I shaked my head and scratched my neck. "Look, Ellie. I really do ne-"

"No! No! No! God, stop talking for a minute! I fall in love with you by the minute each and every fucking day!"

I walked up to Ellie, seeing tears in her eyes. I hugged the 18 year old, who just sobbed into my neck.

"Why can't you see what you do to me, Johnson?" Ellie whispered.

"I just never had that effect on people. I'm not used to it."

"Well, get used to it. I'm your freaking flatmate. You'll have to see me everyday."

We stayed in silence for a while, which felt like hours. 

"Does that mean our trip to the mall is canceled?"
