Edwin's POV
"So who is it then?"
I look down at Paige as she pushes a box over.
"Eddy I don't know. We just got here can we just settle in first?"
Paige huffs and I grab her pulling her into a hug.
"Calm your nerves child. We are going to be fine."
I put my chin on top of her head as I squeeze her a little.
"Plus I want food so let's do this."
She laughs and pushes away from me.
We go unbox her things before doing mines. I organized her desk for her and she organized mines.
"Why this photo?"
She questions look at her desktop and I look at the one of her brother leaving for the Marines.
"Because you love him."
I answer and break down the Last of the boxes.
"Thanks..."
Paige's voice sounds fragile as she gets her bed together. I sit up on mines and watch as her eyes flicker as she moves.
Her hair moves around her shoulders as she leans up and down.
I can't believe we actually made it to college. Like actual college and an university at that. It's amazing to find that our promise is true. We would stick together no matter what.
"Knock knock."
My head shoots to the door to see another guy.
"Is this 32 B? I'm supposed to be the third roommate."
His gruff voice bounces off the walls.
"Yeah it's 32 B and your bed is right there. Need any help?"
Paige flattens her bed sheets out and turns to him with her hands on her hips.
"Nope I got it for now but thanks."
He walks over to his bed dropping his stuff on it.
"No problem."
She says and turns to me raising her eyebrows.
"What do you think?"
I mouth to her.
"I don't know. We just met him."
She mouths back.
"You right. You right."
I mouth and nod my head.
We both look somewhere as he turns around so he doesn't notice.
"So what's your name?"
I ask him and he smiles.
"My name is Greyson. Greyson Rowe actually but you can call me Grey."
Greyson speaks to us as he unpacks and eventually Paige gets me to help him out.
"What do you study?"
I asked him.
"Kineseology and I dance."
Grey says as he sits on his bed.
"That's crazy Kinesology is my minor!"
Paige exclaims and I roll my eyes.
"Whatever."
I whisper.
"Yeah and I'm an Arts major so maybe we'll have a class together."
Paige continues and I plop back onto my bed.
"That would be cool and easier to get to know eachother."
Greyson says and Paige laughs.
"True."
She agrees.
"What's your name man?"
Greyson asks me.
"Edwin.....and I'm also an Arts major."
I say with as much enthusiasm as possible.
"That's cool. So what do you do painting....dance...."
"Both actually and I do Forensic studies."
I finish his sentence and sit back up. Paige comes over to my bed and hops up on it.
"Don't be a dick."
She mumbles and turns to Grey.
"So where you from?"
She asks him and I lean down to her ear.
"Does that really matter?"
"I'm from Toronto."
Greyson says leaning against his bed.
"That's awesome. You know everyone loves Drake."
Paige jokes and even I laugh.
"Yeah I'm from greater LA and Eddy is from New York."
Paige says and Greyson smiles.
"Never been to those places before."
Grey says and I laugh.
"Eddy!"
Paige pushes my shoulder.
"Stop it."
She whisper shouts.
"Okay......"
I look at her and she looks at me then we both start laughing.
"Ohhh I get it. You two are a thing yeah?"
Grey says making me choke on my laugh and laugh harder.
"Paige is not my girlfriend."
I say as I stop laughing.
"Oh....great! That's even better."
I hear fall from his lips as he turns away from us.
"Slow your roll buddy boy. You just got here you can still be moved out."
I stood up from my bed turning to him.
"What do you mean it's better?"
Paige asks and he looks over his shoulder before turning fully to us.
"I mean you're not dating anyone are you?"
He asks and she crosses her arms.
"You're cute as hell. Can defend yourself perfectly fine physically mentally or emotionally. Study what I study. Live where I live. Confidence is key with me and you've got it."
Grayson tilts his head to look at me.
"Who is he to you.....Paige I believe it is."
Grey asks her.
"He is my best friend, companion, and family. Who are you to anyone?"
Paige challenges as I sit back in amusement.
Paige's POV
This guy literally was doing so well and then he let the wrong words fly out of his mouth. How dare he come for Edwin like that? He doesn't even know us yet.
"I am actually very important on this campus. Did you happen to catch my last name? Did you ever actually see or listen to the name of this university?"
Greyson watches us as I look back at Edwin whose arms are now crossed.
"Your the son of the Dean....."
I trail off and look to see Greyson smirk.
"I am but.....I'm not a dick. I'm not going to use him against you.....all the time."
Grey hops into his bed flexing his back before laying on his side.
"Right whatever."
I roll my eyes and turn to an angry Edwin.
"Edwin he's not even worth it c'mon."
I grab his hand and pull him over to my bed before I hop into it. I pull him closer to the bed.
"You gonna lay down?"
I ask and he drops his intense expression before sighing and climbing into the bed.
I lay back towards the wall and Edwin lays infront of me. I spoon him and tangle my fingers in his hair. I watch his chest rise and fall rapidly. I massage his scalp and eventually his chest slows and his eyes flutter shut.
"Aww look at that."
I snap my eyes up to see Greyson watching us.
"What?"
I mumble before returning my attention to Edwin's sleeping figure.
"Just a close friend.....you sure that's all he is to you?"
Greyson sits up on his side.
"No...."
"I figured because its-"
"He's my home away from home."
I whisper and kiss the top of Edwin's head and see a small smile appear on his face.
