The Roommates

Chapter two - Shower Duet

Anastasia's point of view-

I hummed Christmas songs contentedly as I stepped into my hot shower, snatching up my cat loofah. Mmmm.... Nice and warm. Don't ask about the Christmas songs, I don't know either. It's August!

"I really can't stay..." I sang loudly.

"But baby, it's cold outside..." came a melodic voice from the floor above us, muffled slightly by the ceiling - or in his case, the floor.

"I've gotta go away..." I sung back more freely.

"But baby, it's cold outside..."

"This evening has been, so very nice...

"I'll hold your hands, they're just like ice...", He sang.

"My mother will start to worry..."

"Beautiful, what's your hurry?

"My father will be pacing the floor..."

"Listen to the fire place roar..."

"So really I'd better scurry..."

"Beautiful, please don't hurry..."

"But maybe just half a drink more..."

"Put some records on while I pour..."

"The neighbors might think..."

"Baby, it's bad out there..."

"Say, was that a wink?"

"No cabs to be had out there..."

"I wish I knew how..."

"Your eyes are like starlight now..."

"To break this spell..."

"I'll take your hat, your hair looks swell..."

"I ought to get home for dinner..."

"Boy, your smile sure is winner.."

"At least I'm gonna say that I tried..."

"What's the sense in hurting my pride?..."

"I really can't stay..."

"Baby, don't hold out..."

"Baby it's cold outside..."

"I simply must go..."

"Baby, it's cold outside..."

"So thanks for the show..."

"But, baby, it's cold outside..."

"This welcome has been..."

"How lucky that you dropped in..."

"So nice and warm..."

"Look out the window at that storm..."

"My sister will be suspicious..."

"Gosh your lips look delicious..."

"My brother will be there at the door..."

"Waves upon a tropical shore..."

"My maiden aunt's mind is vicious..."

"Gosh your lips are delicious..."

"But maybe just a cigarette more..."

"Never such a blizzard before..."

"I've got to get home..."

"Baby, you'll freeze out there..."

"Say, lend me a coat?"

"It's up to your knees out there..."

"You've really been grand..."

"I thrill when you touch my hand..."

"But don't you see..."

"How can you do this thing to me?"

"There's bound to be talk tomorrow..."

"Think of my life-long sorrow..."

"At least there will be plenty implied..."

"If you got pneumonia and died..."

"I really can't stay..."

"Get over that hold out..."

"Baby it's cold..."

"Baby it's cold outside..."

After we had finished our impromptu duet, I thought to myself while towelling my hair dry.
'Who is this mysterious stranger from the apartment above with a voice like an angel? I mean, he's no Michael Bublé, but damn!' I thought to myself. ' I wonder if he's cute... Gurl, get your mind out of the gutter! You got a boyfriend!

As I walked into the living room, still towelling off my hair, my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller id, and seeing that it was my boyfriend, Peter, I picked up.

I held the phone up to my ear, but before I could even say hello, he started talking rapidly.

" Alicia, hi. I've made my decision, and I've decided to break things off with Anastasia. I love you so much, will you accept me as your not so new boyfriend?"

Ryder, who hadn't left for work yet, looked at the hurt expression on my face, clearly worried.

My eyes welling with tears, I started shrieking into the phone. "Peter, you absolute fucking asshole! I cannot believe you! We were high school sweethearts, you absolute piece of shit!"

I heard him mumble 'shit' before going quiet.

"Who the fuck is Alicia? Your side chick? Well, now, she's your main chick. You're right, we are over." I hissed before hanging up furiously.

I started sobbing, curling up, becoming one with the couch. Ryder, having heard what happened, came over to comfort me.

From upstairs, I heard a muffled "oooohhhhhh, he in truuuuubullleeeee" which turned my sobbing into giggle hiccup sobbing.

"You too good fo him gurl! You best find yoself sumbody who gon do you right!", came a voice from upstairs. Hey, it was singing guy!

"Damn right she does! Preach it!", yelled Ryder.

Between my sniffles, I figured, hey, if you can't beat em, join em. "I don't need him! I got me a roommate and two unknown neighbor dudes! Fuck him!", I shouted, hoping that if I said it enough times, it would become true.

Disclaimer- I do not own Baby it's Cold Outside... If I did I'd probably be a millionaire...😂

Hey, you majestic fishes. Still looking for a beta! And I definitely see Ana as Nina Dobrev, but if anyone can think of a better actress, comment!
