The same roof 1 || HEROPHINE

seven: possible roommate

Today I feel pretty lonely during lunch without Scarlett with me.
She is the only friend I have here right now.
I go to say hi to Christian and after a coffe and a chatting with him I go back to work.

When I seat my phone buzzes with a 'ding'
I look and is an unknown number.

Unknown: Hey I found an interested
friend for the room. I garantee you
that I'll not disappoint you.

Is Scarlett.
I save her number on the contacts.

Hey! I miss you here 🥺
You already found someone?!
I literally adore you. I trust you.
Okay give her my address and tell her
to come after 4:00 pm.

Scarlett🌟: Okay!

So when I get home I start to clean it up but I finish after 30 minutes because is already cleaned up.
So I go to change in some comfy clothes wearing a gray sweatpants and a white hoodie .
While I'm waiting for Scarlett friend I take myself forward with my work.

The bell wakes me up and then I realize that I fell asleep on the couch.
"Fuck." I whisper jump off the couch and looking at myself on the mirror.
The bell rings again so I yell a "I'm coming."
I ring my fingers through my hair to make them more presentable and then I open.

Those blue/green eyes.

"You?" we both say at the same time.
He is the gorgeous and tall but rude guy that saved me days ago.
"I knew it!" he says smiling.
"You're Scarlett friend?" I ask him while a smirk is on his lips.
Am I dreaming? Because if I am please someone wakes me up.
It's a freaking nightmare.
'A gorgeous nightmare.' my subconscious adds.
"Yes. I'm here for the room." he says smiling and then I put a hand on the doorway blocking the way.
"Are you gonna make me stand here?" he asks mocking me.
I roll my eyes in front of his sarcasm.
"I'm sorry for making you waste your time but-" I start to say avoiding his eyes.
I don't know why but I'm not able to stare at them for too much.
"Wait. You're declining it? Why? We didn't got to know each other and we didn't talked." he says confused.
"Listen, I thank you so much for saving me but I just need to remember how rude you was right after to know you." I say.
"Listen." he says making a step closer to me and then my breath stops.
"I was rude because I was in shock and because you been so irresponsible." he says while I'm mind looking at his eyes and lips that seems to go in slow motion.
'God, Josephine, contain yourself. It's not the first handsome guy that you see.' my subconscious yells at me.
"I need a place so give me a chance to show you that I'm the roommate that you're searching for." he says sounding desperate.
I shake my head.
"Sorry but I can't." I say.
"Why?" he says getting closer and then I smell si cologne. God it smells good.
I look at him and I realize that he is wearing all black. Black skinny, jacket and cap. The only thing that isn't black are his Nike.
"You're a guy." I say.
"And you're a girl. What's about it?" He says the obvious and I roll my eyes again.
"It's that I was searching a girl." I confess walking in and the he follows me.
"Why? You think that you can't resist me?" he asks closing the door at his shoulders.
I giggle try to act credible.
"How humble you're. If you're trying to impress me you're failing." I say leaning on the couch while he is looking around.
"And I saw so many good looking guys. So don't worry I don't fall for the first British guy that I see." I say and then he looks back at me smirking.
Why is he smirking.
"You just said that I'm a good looking guy." he says.
"You ever heard of sarcasm?" I ask making him giggle.
My heart bumps on my chest. God is the most beautiful sound I've ever heard.
'Earth is calling Josephine Langford'
"I'll take that as compliment." he says still smirking.
"Don't worry. Your not my type." I say.
He lifts his eyebrows surprised.
"Alright. Where is the room?" he asks lookin at the kitchen.
"Scarlett already told you about the price?" I ask and he nods.
"Okay, come." I say walking to his bedroom .
I mean, his potential bedroom, I didn't already decide yet.
"Okay this is the room." I say and the he passes me and looks at the empty room with just a bed, two bedside tables and a bookshelf.
"I don't need that." he says pointing the bookshelf.
"One, it's not yours yet and two it was here so it have to stay there." I say smiling.
I like to embarrass him. He is too confident.
"Okay." he says following me.
"This is the bathroom and there is my bedroom." I say opening the bathroom door and pointing my bedroom door.
I walk to the kitchen while he still looking a ya the bathroom.
"It's pretty. Did you organized it?" he asks walking through the corridor.
"Yes." I say handing him a cup of tea.
Maybe I was to though with him.
"I like it here." he says.
"Okay, now, are you ready for the rules?" I ask.
"Rules?" he asks following me to the sofa and sit with me.
"Yes, rules." I say.
"Okay shoot." he says.
"So, I asked for a tidy person that's why I asked for a girl-" I start to say and he interrupts me immediately. "Wait wait, why a guy can't be tidy for you?" he asks furrowing his forehead.
"No, you guys are massy." I say.
"So you're that kind of girl huh?" he asks placing the empty cup on the coffeetable right in front of the couch.
"Eh?" I ask so confused.
I look at his hands the fingers are all interlocked while the veins are in plain sight.
"You're that girl that has the mind full of prejudice." he says.
"What no!" I say.
"So why y-" try to asks but he is interrupted from my phone that starts to ring.
I look at the display and is my sister. So I take it down, I'll call her later.
"You bought a new one." He says and then I put my eyes on him.
God I forgot how handsome he looks.
I mean, he can be rude but I can't lie about his good looking.
I see his eyes point on my iPhone.
"Oh I didn't bought it, it's a gift, the other is dead." I say and he nods .
"Okay, I'll think about it and I'll let you know." I say.
"That's it?" he asks. "That's your only rule?" he asks.
"No. Of course not. We have to decide the different days for the cleaning stuff because I'm not going to be the chambermaid of the apartment." I say.
"That's alright." he says smiling at me.
He really wants this room.
"And last but not least, no girls at the apartment." I say and he arches his eyebrows and his mouth opens.
"What?! Why?" he asks.
I roll my eyes. I knew it. I'm not going to have him here.
"So I have to kick you out from your own apartment?" he asks joking about it.
"Ha ha ha, very funny. You know what I meant. If you wanna hookup with someone, I'm nobody to stop you. But you're not going to have sec with someone while I'm sleeping right in front of your room." I say and he puffs.
"Okay, okay. So when you're going to let me know?" he asks.
Damn, he is inpatient.
"I think tomorrow." I say walking to the door.
"Okay. So I hope to hear you soon." he says stepping out and then smile at me.
When he doesn't play the "macho man" he seems to be a kind and good guy.
"Yeah, see ya." I say and then I close the door.

I place my back on the door while my breathe is irregular.
Why am I so emotional around him?
I think I'll dream his ocean eyes tonight.
What am I saying? God, I'm out of my mind.
I shake my head, I take my phone, I turn off the lights and I walk to my room.

After the tiff with that guy... God, I didn't even know his name!
