When I wake up the next morning I can't help but to smile as I think back to what happened last night. Ash finally kissed me and it felt amazing. I thought that i just wanted to be best friends with him but over the past week it's become clear that I have feelings for him. I caught feelings for my roommate.

I get out of bed and head off to the showers. We have a class at noon today. I wore dark skinny jeans with a grey sweater. I paired it with my slip on vans.

When I got back to the room ash was gone so I assumed he went to shower as well

When I got back to the room ash was gone so I assumed he went to shower as well. Kayley had class early this morning so she left before we woke up. I sprawled out on ash's bed and scrolled through Instagram.

Ash came back a few minutes later holding two coffees in his hand. "I figured you might need a boost of energy to stay awake through class."

"Thank you."

"No problem." He said as he sat down at the bottom of his bed since I was still laid across the top. The silence was killing me. I thought he might be regretting the kiss we had last night. Right when I was about to open my mouth and ask him, he beat me to it.

"I'm sorry that I kissed you last night." That sentence hurt. He did regret it.

"It's fine." I give a short answer.

"I'm sorry that I didn't ask you before i kissed you but I'm not sorry that I did."

"Really?"

"Yes. It felt amazing, didn't it?" He's  making me feel so awkward. I hate explaining how I feel, especially with the guy I have the feelings for.

"Yeah."

"Are you ready to go to class? I'll drive today." I nod and we head down to his truck. He drives us over to the main building where the classrooms are located and we head in. We sit and take notes on everything the teacher goes over.

After we got done with our class we had another one at 1:30 so we went ahead to it. We were only a few minutes early. We again took notes and did a pop quiz. When the class was over, Ash drove us to a little cafe near the campus.

We walked in and grabbed a booth. "I'll take a grilled cheese sandwich with some chicken noodle soup." Ash told the waitress.

"I'll just have the same." I smiled at the young girl. She looked to be about 16.

"We have a five day weekend. Are you excited for it?" Ash asks trying to make a conversation.

"I'm glad I won't have to be up for class."

"Me too. Although college is actually not that bad. We only have a few classes a day and so far it's pretty easy."

"I know what you mean. I thought college would be so hard but it's not bad yet." Our conversation gets cut off by the waitress bringing us our food. We eat in silence and then drive back to our dorm. Once inside we watch Netflix. I swear that's all we do.

We were on our third episode of outer banks when my phone started ringing. I looked at the caller id to see it was my mom.

Nicole: Hey momma
Mom: Hey sweetie
Nicole: What did you need?
Mom: Sweetie I have news to tell you. You know how you great aunt sally had cancer?
Nicole: Yes?
Mom: Sweetie she stopped breathing this morning.

I let out a gasp and a sob.

Mom: Honey I'm so sorry. She died peacefully though. They are cremating her so there won't be a burial. They are going to have a small gathering but it's not worth you and Luke driving home for. I love you sweetie but I have to go to work now.
Nicole: Bye mom. I love you too

I barely end the conversation since I'm crying so hard. Sally was like a second mom to me. She was only 10 years older then my mom. We was really close. It broke my heart when I learned that she had cancer.

"Nic? You okay?" I shake my head no.

"I'll be fine. I just need some time. Wanna play a game?" I ask him needing something to take my mind off of this.

"Uh sure?" He responds.

"Let's play never have I ever with vodka. If you've did something you have to take a big gulp of the vodka."

"Okay. Game on. You start."

"Never have I ever been to the beach." I start with an easy one. He doesn't take a gulp but I do.

"You aren't supposed to say what you've done." Ash chuckles

"What can I say. My mouth was dry." I say with a shrug causing a laugh from ash.

"Okay. Never have I ever got into a fight in public." I took a big gulp.

"Never have I ever went skiing." That made ash take a gulp.

The game went on an on until we had drank the whole bottle of vodka. We were pretty well drunk. Towards the end of our game our questions got more personal like virginity, how many people we've dated and stuff like that.

I'm laughing so hard that I fall onto ash and I knock him off balance causing us both to go crashing into the floor. I'm laying on top of him. He stares into my eyes before looking down at my lips. Before he gets the chance to close the gap, I do. I bring my lips to his and kiss him with so much passion.

The kiss intensified and tingles run all over my body. I don't know if it's the alcohol talking but i need more. I need his touch. A moan escapes my lips causing him to start letting his hands roam my body.

He moves his lips off mine and starts sucking on my neck, leaving marks showing he has claimed it. Things go even farther and the next thing I know is that we are both naked. The alcohol has taken over my to much of my brain to think properly. Our fun goes on for the next hour. Finally we are so worn out that we can't keep our eyes open any longer.
