Loved You First (#Wattys2016)

Chapter 4: And then there's two

Paris' POV.

"Room 515, 516, 517." Margot declared. "Charlie and I got 517!"

"What? No! That's unfair!" Jade cried out. I know what she's thinking. Who knows what they're going to do there? Can we just go with one room same gender?

"You guys separate." I stated.

"No thanks." Charlie smirked and kissed Margot on the cheek.

I glared at them both. "Why?"

"That's because you're with me, princess." Ian said wrapping an arm on my shoulder and pinching my nose. I swatted his arm.

"No way I'm going to room with Jade." Shane said with a horrified look. Jade slapped him behind the head.

"Sorry. I don't want to room with someone who's always moody. Paris is the only one who could tolerate her." He reasoned out.

"And what? We share rooms?! No way. Let's go, Jade." Ian said wrapping his arm around her instead. "Don't touch me." Was Jade's response and they both headed to their respected rooms.

"And then there's two." Shane smiled at me. "I guess we'll be roomies now,"

"Uhmm. Okay." I said uncertainly. I swear I'm going to kill Ian.

We went inside the room and noticed why Ian wouldn't want to be Shane's roommate. There's only one bed. Shane placed his bags down and went to reach mine.

"I'm so tired. Let's just fix our things tomorrow kay?" He said and I just nodded. I was still absorbing the fact that Shane and I would be in the same room for who knows how long.

After brushing my teeth and changing, I walked to the sofa beside the window since Shane was already on the bed. Talk about gentleman.

"What are you doing?" He asked, sitting up with his elbows beside him to hold his weight.

I looked at him weirdly. "Getting ready for bed?"

"But the bed's right here.." he trailed off and I gulped. "It's fine. Come on. We're friends, right?" he chuckled.

My heart pounded. We're going to sleep together? I mean, literally.

Of course excluding the 'friends' part.

"Yup. Just friends." I forced a bright smile as I walked towards him. Every step felt like my legs were sticking to the ground.

I finally laid down the bed and shut my eyes. Calm down, heart. Calm the fuck down.

When I opened my eyes, I saw him staring at me. "What?" I asked.

"Nothing." He shook his head. "Goodnight Paris." He said as he closed the light.

"Night Shane." I said. I turned away from him and released a breath. How could I possibly sleep when I know that the guy I like was sleeping just inches away from me?

When I was about to finally sleep. He spoke up. "Paris?"

"Mmh?" I hummed with my eyes still closed.

"You wouldn't mind if I hug you, right?" He asked. "I couldn't sleep."

My eyes shot open. "I-I guess not."

Then I felt his arms wrap around my waist.

I bit my lip to keep from squealing as heat rushed up to my cheeks.

Oh boy.
