We are just roommates

Chapter 6

Finally, it was the weekend and we were moving to New York today. I am so excited. I am glad we will go together with Ryker because I have never traveled before. Maybe I did with my parents when I was little, but I don’t remember. This will be my first time on a plane as well and I can’t wait to settle in and start working in New York. My life will take a huge turn and I can’t wait for that to happen.

“Ready, princess?” Ryker asked when he stopped the car in the front of me. He got out and helped me with my bags. “Is this everything you have?” He asked with a surprised expression, referring to my two suitcases.

“Yes, why? Is it too much?” I asked him shyly and he let out a chuckle.

“No, silly. Quite the opposite, girls have a lot of stuff usually.” He said, but then he remembered where I had lived for the last eight years of my life when he looked behind me at the building of the orphanage, so he didn’t say anything further what I was glad for. “Are you excited?” He asked instead.

“Yes, I can’t wait to be there.” I told him and he smiled at me. His smile was so attractive.

“I can’t wait either, come on, let’s go before we miss our flight.” He said and we speeded off to the airport.

We arrived in New York a few hours later and we caught a taxi, which took us to my temporary, new home.

“I will leave you to settle in. I need to do the same. How about we going sightseeing tomorrow? We won’t get the chance later because you need to start working after tomorrow.. so…” he said and I cut him off.

“Alright, see you tomorrow then.'' I told him, I want to be done with unpacking as soon as possible.

''I will call you later.” He nodded and kissed me before leaving.

The owner of the house was an old lady who was really nice and helpful. My workplace was just a few blocks away from here, so everything was perfect for now. I will stay for two months only, then I will move to a dorm room, since it will be cheaper than to rent this room and if I work just part time next to school, then I won't be able to afford this room later.

The next day, Ryker took me sightseeing and I enjoyed every second that we spent together. He is so nice and a gentleman. He never touches me inappropriately or goes too far while we are kissing. He knows that I am a virgin and he said he will wait for me till I am ready. I can’t believe I am this lucky to have him. I like my work too. Everyone is really kind and helpful. My boss , Kate, is nice too. She agreed to let me work here four days a week after school, maybe some weekends too, and I can’t be more grateful for that. I am so happy that I don’t have curfew anymore, so I don't need to check the time every time I am out and there is no more punishment room either. I am finally free and I have my boyfriend with me. I couldn't ask for more.

“Hey princess.” I looked up to see Ryker enter the coffee with a broad smile on his face. Today is my last day as a full timer because after work I will move into my dorm room. Ryker didn’t get into NYU, sadly, but at another school in New York, so we will still be close to each other, but not that close. I need to work also, so we can’t see each other every day, to my disappointment.

“Hey handsome.” I told him as he came to steal a kiss.

“Are you ready to move?” He asked and I grinned at him.

“I am, are you ready to start school?” I asked him and he groaned. School will start in two days.

“Not really, I will miss you.” He said with an adorable pout.

“I will miss you too, but you know we will be just half an hour away from each other, right?” I asked him with a giggle.

“I know and I will do anything to see you every day.” He said, and I kissed his nose.

“We will be fine, don’t worry.” I told him reassuringly and he nodded his head sadly.

“Alright, let’s go, you have a lot of packing to do.” He said and I said goodbye to everyone before we left to pick up my stuff, which I already packed yesterday. I thank everything to the lady I stayed with in the last two months. She said I could come back anytime if the room was still available.

We arrived at the school and it was huge. I couldn’t wait to study here, but I was so sad because Ryker didn’t get in.

“What a pity you can’t study here with me.” I told him sadly as we looked around.

“Yes, I know.” He said and rubbed my hand while he carried my suitcase in his other hand. We reached the dormitories building and I searched for my paper for the information I needed.

“Room number 77”, I told him, and we walked upstairs to look for it. Some guys and girls were walking in the corridor, but only some of the students had arrived yet.

“I see these are coeducational dormitories.” He said and looked at me with a raised eyebrow.

“Don’t worry, I don’t think they will pair girls with boys in one room.” I told him playfully with a smile, as he seemed like he was jealous. I chuckled at his expression while I opened the door of the room and he looked at me with fake pout.

“What is so funny?” He asked and moved closer to me while he closed the door behind us. The 'room' actually looked like an apartment. There was a small living room with a kitchen and I saw two separate rooms with a bathroom between them. I looked around and saw that we were alone. I guess my roommate hasn't gotten here yet.

“You.” I answered his question with a giggle and he picked me up suddenly and carried me into one of the rooms. This will be mine, I guess.

“I will show you how funny I can be.” He said and started tickling me mercilessly after putting me on the bed. I was very ticklish and he knows that.

“Stop it…. Ha-ha-ha… please.” I pleaded with him and he finally stopped and started kissing me instead. His hand went under my top and I shuddered. He makes me feel things that I have never felt before, but I still thought it was too early to give myself to him fully.

“You are so s*xy, I don’t know how long I can hold myself back.” He whispered into my ear.

“Just give me some more time, you don’t need to wait too long anymore, I promise.” I told him and he kissed my lips again. He was so nice for waiting for me. We have been together a little bit more than two months and I don’t think that was long enough time to have s*x with him, especially if that would be my first time. “Can you do that?” I asked him while I looked into his eyes.

“Of course I can, everything for you.” He said and I kissed him again. After ten minutes of making out, we stopped and he helped me unpack my stuff.

“I need to leave now, but I will call you later. I will come to see you tomorrow.” He said and hugged me.

“Alright, talk to you later then.” I told him and he left my room. It was already late so I just took a shower and went to sleep. I was curious about who my roommate would be and if she would be nice or not.

This place is awesome. I like it a lot and I can't be more happy.

The next morning, I woke up with a smile. The bed was very comfortable and I really like this room too. The living room was not so big, but cozy. The room was comfortable and the bathroom was nice too.

I got up and made myself a coffee. Luckily, I have been shopping already so I had everything I needed. I sat down at the kitchen counter sleepily and drank my coffee when I heard the door open and close behind me. I turned around lazily while saying.

“Hi, I am your new……” the words stuck in my throat when I saw the person at the door. “… roommate.” I finished my sentence and just stared at him in shock. This can’t be right. “What are you doing here, Kevin?” I asked him after a few seconds.

“Good morning to you too, the question is, what are YOU doing in MY room?” He asked with a blank face and I gaped at him while I stood up.

“What? Your room?” I asked him and went to my bag to show him my papers. “See? Nr. 77 is my room.” I told him and he showed me his papers as well.

“See? It’s my room too.” He said with a smug smirk on his face.

“How? Is this a joke?” I asked him in disbelief. “I will go and ask someone, this could be a mistake.” I told him and went to find some receptionist or someone who could explain this situation to me. What the hell is going on? From out of the thousands of people, did I need to get paired up with him? Seriously? I know that this is a coeducational building but they never put a girl and a boy in one room if they aren’t in a relationship. By the way, I didn't even know he would study here. 'What a pleasant coincidence..' Note the sarcasm...

“Excuse me, there is a problem with my room, can you please help me?” I asked a woman in her thirties behind a computer and she smiled at me kindly.

“Of course, what is the problem? I need your name and room number.” She said.

“Room nr. 77, Kylie Jones and I am paired up with a guy, that’s the problem.” I told her and she looked at me with furrowed eyebrows before looking back at her computer.

“Oh sh*t.” She murmured under her breath. “I am so sorry, I made a mistake. Your name is Kyle Jones in the system. I think I made a mistake while filling your information in.” She said apologetically.

“It’s okay, just give me another room.” I told her and she looked at me with pleading eyes.

“We… don’t have… more empty rooms.” She said timidly.

“What? What am I supposed to do now? I have a boyfriend and I can’t stay with a dude.” I told her, but she just shook her head apologetically.

“I am really sorry, if someone leaves I will let you know and her place is yours or if it’s a boy, he can stay with your roommate and you will have a room just to yourself. I am sorry for my mistake. For compensation, your first month is free. I am very sorry.” She said and she almost started crying.

“It’s okay, don’t worry, I will be fine somehow. Please let me know if anyone leaves.” I told her with a sigh and she nodded her head. “By the way, do you know the reason I am in the same room as Kevin Davis, I mean, is it just a coincidence?” I asked her and she looked at me strangely.

“We make the pairs based on the alphabet, both of your names start with a K.” She said and I nodded my head in understanding. 'That made sense, I guess.'

I walked back into the room in defeat. 'How will I explain this to Ryker? He will be furious.' I opened the door and found the living room empty. I guess Kevin was already busy unpacking. He walked out of his room as soon as he heard me closing the door.

“So?” He asked and I let out a deep sigh.

“They made a mistake, but there aren’t any other rooms available.” I informed him and he nodded his head. “Do you have a girlfriend who is in one of these dorm rooms by any chance?” I asked him hopefully.

“Smart way of asking if I am single or not.” He said with a chuckle and I glared at him.

“I am not interested in you, I have a boyfriend. I am just asking, because if you have, maybe she wants to switch rooms with me.” I explained to him.

“No, I don’t have one and I don’t want to share with a crazy chick either who is obsessed with me, so don’t go around asking people to change with you.” He said coldly and walked into his room. 'Was he referring to me as a crazy chick who was obsessed with him? No, I don’t think so.' My phone started buzzing next to me, which snapped me out of my thoughts.

“Hallo?” I answered when I saw Ryker was calling and I heard loud music in the background.

“Hi princess, how is it? Did you settle in?” he asked.

“Yes I did, but…” I started but he cut me off.

“Sorry princess, I can’t hear you so well, my friend is throwing a party in the house and I need to stay to help him so I can’t come to see you.” He told me sadly.

“It’s okay, just enjoy yourself, maybe tomorrow.” I told him.

“What?” He asked when he didn't hear me over the loud music.

“I said maybe you could come by….” I started but the line went dead. “Great” I murmured to myself.

“Don’t tell me you are still with Ryker.” Kevin asked while he was leaning on his doorframe with his arms folded in the front of his chest. He had a smug and amused expression on his face.

“I don’t see why that was your business, but yes, we are still together.” I told him and stood up to go into my room, but he kept talking.

“Did he just let you down for a party?” He asked and I looked at him in disbelief. How did he know that? “No need to ask how I know, I will tell you… Since we were friends, we have this common friend Ryker is living with now and he invited me too. He said there would be a lot of easy chicks. I am sure he is having fun with one of them at this moment.” He said with a smug smile and I wished I could just wipe it from his face with my fist.
