Roommates || Tayler Holder

Part 4

Cleo's Pov

Tonight did not go as planned. 

I sat in the car and waited for the night to be over.

Marissa came and sat next to me.

"I'm sorry," she says looking at her feet. 

Silence.

"Can we just go please,"

"Yeah, I'll go get Tayler,"

"Ok,"

+

Tayler ended up staying with some girl which I was fine with.

I got out my record player, bought some facemask, washed my hair, put on my fav pj's and just tried to forget everything.

I sat at my desk and watched a movie.

Around 2 am, Tayler came back into the room

"Hey Cleo," 

I just ignored him.

"We should get to know each other,"

I took out my earbuds, "Sure why not,"

"Ok, I'll ask you some questions and you have to answer them with 100% honesty,"

I shrugged and turned my chair around to face him.

He smirked, "First question, I'll start easy. Fav color?"

"Yellow,"

"How many guys have you dated?"

"7"

"Longest relationship?"

"1 year 3 months 6 days,"

"Perfect first date?"

"I don't know, the beach or an arcade and ice cream,"

We continued this little banter until like 5 am.

Tayler said that he had a nightmare and asked to sleep in my bed.

I was so tired that I didn't even care.

It felt nice, his arms were wrapped around me and I could hear his soft snoring.

+ 

I woke up and almost freaked out when I realized that I was in bed, cuddling with a guy I literally just met.

I woke him up.

"Dude calm down, it's too early for this," he groaned while sitting up.

"Well, I need to get up so..."

"Wanna go out and get something to eat? I'll invite Marissa and my other friend Jasmine,"

"Um, sure."

"Alright," he got out of my bed and went to the bathroom.

I sat there, shocked. How had I agreed to let him sleep in my bed?

I got out of my head and got ready.

(outfit^)

Tayler impatiently sat on his phone, "Can you please hurry," he called to me while I was tying my shoes.

"I'm ready, yeesh,"

We walked to his car, I sat shotgun.

He went to plug in his phone to the aux but I quickly grabbed it.

"Passenger gets aux,"

"Not in my car," he grabs it back.

I grab it back again, "I'm playing the music,"

"Fine," he sighs.

I plug it in and play {your fav song}.

I started singing along and then he joined in too.

+

We arrived at IHOP.

 By now I was starving, pancakes are all I am thinking about.

We went in and Marissa and the girl I assumed was Jasmine were sitting at a table.

Marissa waved at me and a shyly waved back.

We sat down, Jasmine had moved so that she could sit next to Tayler.

"Jazzy, this is is Cleo," 

She smiled at me.

"So, can we order or what?" Tayler asked.
