my roommate and I

CHAPTER FOUR

                                      BRANDON’S POV

    Today wasn’t a great day for me at all, I really don’t understand why I was feeling this way. I couldn’t concentrate on today’s classes and now I was messing up during practice, that got my coach yelling at me. I  kept having the thought of Brian on my mind, I think I am having feelings for him but I am not so sure, because this is the first time for me, to ever have feelings for a guy, maybe because we are roommates and friends. Maybe because we shared everything to together that’s why I think I have feelings for him. Maybe I have just mistaken friendship for feelings. I have to put my head back to the game so I won’t have any more shout from the coach. After practice, I pleaded with Jason to come over to my room with me.

      We both went together and then I saw that the dorm was unlocked and I knew Brian was home. Jason and I both went inside and together we both fell on my bed completely drained and exhausted 

       “Jeez, guys  you both stink, please go take a shower, I just ate and I don’t want to puke everything I have eaten,  please please “ pleaded Brian 

         “ Yeah sure, we will, but please just allow us to rest, we are tired from running down the field and kicking balls today” chorused Jason and I 

          “ I don’t care at all, just go and shower, hurry up please”

           “ Fine you won, Brandon why don’t you shower first then I will go later the moment you come out” Jason suggested

           “ Okay, no problem” I  got up and went straight to the bathroom, I made sure I cleaned my self thoroughly to remove all dirt and the smell of a sweat from my body. When I was done, Jason went in. I dressed up quickly and when  Jason was done we decided to watch a movie together and Brian said he wanted to join us that he was tired of reading. So the 3 of us choose a movie and then we started watching it. Halfway through the movie, Jason bided us goodnight as he slept off leaving me and Brian alone. I guess it felt awkward for both of us as brian quickly said goodbye and went to his bed to sleep. I could not finish the movie so I closed the laptop and went straight to bed.

            I woke up lying next to Jason, I yawned and stretched my self.  Today was Saturday a free day to be lazy and doing nothing, a day where there is no football practice, no lecturer no class and nothing at all, just a day to have fun and be free. I love Saturdays, I looked at the direction of Brian’s bed and found it-empty, where did he go to?. I asked my self,  Then I decided to wake Jason up

            “ Hey Jason, wake up let’s go get breakfast together “ I tapped Jason 

            “ No, no, no  sleep first, breakfast later” Jason replied me half awake

           “Jason Bash, get your f*****g ass up before I smack this torchlight on your head, you know I don’t joke with my words” I barked at Jason 

           “ Yeah I am up, fully awake, let’s go eat breakfast,” Jason said while rubbing his eyes

           “ Yeah I am ordering noodles, I don’t know about you,” I said. When we were about heading out through the door I bumped into Brian as he was about entering the room

             “ I am sorry” he apologised as he walked in

              “ No problem, we are about Grabbing something to eat for breakfast, do you wanna tag along?.” I asked him

              “ Nah I just want to rest, I am a little bit exhausted,” he said as he climbed his bed

              “ Okay then, we are off,”  I said as Jason and I both left together leaving Brian alone

                                                BRIAN’S POV

              I  was about sleeping when my phone rang

            “ Hello” I answered MD the call only to hear a shout from the other end of the call

            “ Save your hello, where were you last night that you forgot our meeting?” shouted David 

            “ I was with the boys last night, Brandon and Jason. We decided to watch a movie together” I replied his question

           “ Okay, well get your ass down here and come me met us” 

          “ But I am tired and I am feeling dizzy”

            “ Don’t let me come up to your room and kick your ass out of the bed” barked David 

            “ Fine, I am on my way”’

            “ 5 minutes Brian, “ David said as he hugged the phone. I grumbled as I got out of bed and head out to meet them. When we finally met, we talked about other things and then decided to go clubbing later on tonight. Since it’s Saturday and Saturday night is made for clubbing and drinking and having fun. They decided that the time for us to meet will be 10 pm since the club normally opens by midnight. David and I both went to the dorm.  I went straight to my room and saw no sign of Brandon, though he said he was going to get breakfast it’s 12:30 pm and he isn’t back. Maybe something came up, I decided to get a quick nap since I couldn’t do it this morning thanks to  David. I woke up around 7 pm to see Brandon getting dressed

              “ Where to?”. I asked him, guessed he didn’t know I was going to be awake so quick because I startled him

            “ Oh you are awake, I am heading out to meet the boys. I won’t be coming home early so don’t wait for me” he replied as me as he walked out of the room. I checked the time and it was 7:30 pm guess it’s time to get ready too. I won’t be at home today alone thinking about the whereabouts of Brandon and what he was doing or who he was having fun with. This night I am going to enjoy my self. I got dressed in a black T-shirt blue jeans and a pair of black converse, then I dressed my hair and look at the mirror for the last check-up before heading out. I was about going to check up on David when I saw him locking his door. We both walked down to Jane’s dorm when we saw her outside waiting for us With I told you guys we should meet at 10 pm now it’s 10:15 pm look in her eyes and we both apologised to her and stopped a taxi which took us to the place

          We arrived there 1:55 am to see Jason, Brandon, Emily and Mike sitting at a corner drinking and having fun, I was the first to see them before Jason saw us and he turned to the direction of Brandon to whisper something to him

            “ Hey Brandon, isn’t that your roommate and his friends. I am going to invite them over to our table to drink with us” Jason said while waving at me

             “ No no no don’t in—-“  Brandon hasn’t finished his statement when Jason called out to us

              “ Hey Brian, over here. Come sit with us “ Jason said while waving at us

              “ Yeah sure,” I said while waving back at him,” guys let’s go sit over there with Brandon and his friends. It’s good to see familiar faces around” I said to Jane and David and they both agreed. On getting to the table we greeted everyone before sitting down, they poured us drinks and we started drinking and discussing 

               I was a bit drunk from my third glass since my intake in alcohol was low I started dancing and trying to pull my shirt because it felt very hot all of a sudden

              “ Brian I think you are drunk, you need to slow down,” David said with a concerned look on his face for me since he knew my alcohol tolerant was very low. Brandon excuses himself from the table to go to the restroom

               “ I am not drunk, I am just having fun,” I said as I continued dancing”. I kept on dancing for a while then I noticed Brandon wasn’t coming out from the restroom so I decided to make an excuse so I can check what’s keeping him, “ I will like to use the restroom” I said to everyone as I left them. I could not find Brandon in the restroom and I was a bit worried. So I emptied my bladder and I left the restroom on getting to the entrance far corner from the door I saw Brandon and a girl kissing, Brandon wrapped his hands around the girl’s waist drawing the girl closer to him as he deepened the kiss. The kiss was so intense. I felt my eyes filling up with tears as I adverted my gaze from them and felt my eyes becoming blurry. I could not hold back the tears as they came running down my cheeks. I walked up to meet my friends and Brandon’s friends

                “ What’s wrong Brian, talk to me,” Jane Asked in concern as she noticed my change of mood

                 “ Brian, what’s wrong?” Asked David, turning his attention towards me

                 “ Can we leave please” I choked out with tears running down from my eyes, Jane looked at the direction from where I was coming from and she saw Brandon and the girl locking lips together? She was shocked at what she saw and she pulled me in for a hug “bI am so sorry Brian” she said holding me close to her

               David looked past us and saw the same thing and he immediately felt bad for me, I felt more tears forming and pulled away from Jane’s hug

                “ Can we please just go pleased” I whispered to them so Brandon’s friend won’t know what was going on and they both agreed? Jane apologised to Brandon’s friend telling them I was hurt and a bit sick from drinking too much alcohol and that They need to take care of me before the situation gets worst, then turning to David 

                “ Come on David, let’s get out of here,” she said while dragging me and David tagging along behind us. I tried to hide my tears from my friends so they won’t feel sorry for me but Jane stopped all of a sudden and stared at me “ it’s okay dear, we are your friends, you can let it all out. You can cry if you want to” Jane said rubbing my back soothingly. We couldn’t get a taxi that will take us to the dorm at that time since it was 3 am lucky for us we saw a hotel close by so we decided to book a room there. I was so quiet on our walk to the hotel.

                 “ It’s okay Brian, you will find a better guy and then you will get over him so fast,” David said trying to encourage me I shooked my head

                 “ I don’t need a better guy, I need Brandon. Why can’t he notice me? why can’t he choose me?. Why dating others girls that will break his heart and then he will come to me feeling sad and heartbroken, I will never break his heart or leave him alone or even hurt him” I whispered to Jane and David, letting more tears flow down my cheeks. “ Is this what it feels likes to have your heartbroken”. We arrived at the hotel and David’s booked the room. On getting to the room I went straight to bed and cried my eyes out while David and Jane consoled me
