Roommates with my crush

Chapter Nine

2:00 am:

I feel my phone beep. I got a message.

Kyle: hey babyy, you up?

I sigh and text back.

Chloe: No

I try to get back to sleep when he texts again.

Kyle: please baby girl

Chloe: no

I know exactly what he wants... He's drunk again. I turn my phone on do not disturb and go back to sleep.

Morning:

My alarm clock goes off. 6:30 am. I want to continue sleeping but my mind tells me that I don't want to be late... again. I sit up and stretch. It's cloudy outside and there's no sun.
"Seems like it's gonna be a great day." I sarcastically say to myself.

Later that day:

I walk into my dorm and there is Kyle making out with another girl. What's new? At this point he's just fucking with my heart. I just don't care anymore.
"Chloe! You're back." He looks me up and down. "Wow, you look damn fine..." he smirks.
"Seriously!?" The girl he was just eating the face off of says. "WE'RE THROUGH!" She walks out and slams the door.

I cross my arms and smile at him. I try so hard not to laugh at what just happened but I can't hold in my laughter. Once Kyle hears me laughing he starts laughing. He runs over to me, swings me over his shoulder, drops me on the Sofa and starts tickling the goodness out of me. At this point we're just goofing off like old friends until we hear the door open.

"Oh my gosh, Chloe." Andrea rushes in. "I have someone for you to meet."
"Who?" I question standing up. Kyle remains on the sofa.
"This is my older cousin Gabe." She says.

A really hot guy walks in and I get the bad case of the butterflies.
"Gabe, this is Chloe. And that over there is Kyle."
"Sup." Kyle mumbles.
"It is a pleasure to meet you." He smiles at me. "You too!" I smile back.

"He moved in a house down the street from here." Andrea says. "So he can come chill here whenever!"
"That'll be cool." I reply.

"I couldn't care less." Kyle says getting up. "Peace." And he walks out.

"Well you guys get to know each other. I'm going to fix up my hair and makeup. I won't be very long." Andrea walks into her room.

"Take a seat." I say "would you like anything to drink?" I ask.
"Sure, water please." He replies.

I grab some water for the both of us and sit down next to him.

"So you're Chloe. I've heard a lot about you! I didn't realize you were so pretty though." He looked straight into my eyes.

I wasn't sure if he was flirting or not but it was working.

"Aha uh thanks."
"So... what do you like to do in your free time?" He asked.
"Uh sometimes I go to the cafe on the street you live on. Have you ever been there?"
"No I haven't, but if you'd like we should go together. Are you free Friday?"

I felt a warmth inside me that I never felt in a long time. Gabe just asked me on a date! We only just met but god damn I wanted to say yes so bad. The way he looked into my eyes I just couldn't say no.

"Sure, I'd love to." I replied.

"Thanks for talking to him which I fixed up. We're gone again, bye Chloe." Andrea blew kisses to me as she and Gabe walked out the door. I love her personality so much.

Kyle walks back in with his phone in his hand.
"Hey Chloe! Look at this." He points at his phone.
I look at his phone and see the girl he was kissing hugging another guy. She had posted this on Instagram.
"So what?" I ask.
"She's been cheating on me the whole time." He sounded offended.

I roll my eyes.
"That could be her brother or something. Besides, were you even dating? You have a new girl every two days." I reply.

"Well... no, not really. But I was kinda hoping you would get mad at her because you and I are friends."
"I'm just doing what friends do, explaining why you're wrong." I giggled.
"Ok fine whatever." He joked and smirked at me.

"So... that Gabe guy... Andrea's cousin."
"What about him?" I asked.
"Do you think he's... Hot?"
"What the hell? Why?"
"He's not hotter than me, right?" Kyle questioned.
"Oh my gosh." I rolled my eyes. "What's up with guys competing to be 'better' than each other?" I asked.
"I'm not competing. I'm just better."
"Not really. We're all special in our own ways." I try to make a point.
"Well yes." He agreed. "But I'm very special."
"Whatever." I walked away.

He can be so self centred. He thinks everyone loves him and that he's "so hot". It's kind of annoying to be honest.

I feel him grab my wrist. I turn to face him.
"You think I'm special, right?" He asked.
"We're all special in our own ways." I replied.
"Do you want me to show you how special I really am?" He smiled a dirty smile and licked his lips.

I bite my lip and look away. He grabs my chin and pulls my face closer to his. Our lips lock. I was unsure of what I wanted. I knew I should say no before I got attached only for him to move on to another girl but I couldn't stop. I loved it.

He moved backwards and fell onto the sofa, pulling me on top of him. We stopped for a breath. I had to stop this. I liked having a friendship with him. Being able to laugh with him instead of being heartbroken while watching him kiss all of the other girls.

"I'm sorry." I apologized. "I can't do this." I continued, getting off of him.
"C'mon baby. I'm just getting started."
"I'm sorry, Kyle. I just can't." I walk into my room and lock the door behind me.

I was sort of upset about ending it because I really wanted to continue, but I knew it was for the best. I knew it was the right thing to do. I couldn't be in a relationship with him... not again, if you could even consider it that. He might've gotten jealous because of Gabe. To be honest, Gabe was a better catch than him.
