ROOMMATES

CHAPTER 9

Matt is on top of a girl pumping very hard. In the living room! And to make the matters worse on the sofa! Eeew! How do I sit on that sofa again? Drake is startled too. He looks at me widening his eyes in surprise.They are so engrossed in it such that they don’t notice they have an audience.

“Mary mother of God!” I say startling both of them. Matt quickly pulls out and covers himself with some gilt on the sofa. The girl who is Ellaine looks at us and grins without making an attempt to cover herself. How shameless.

Some girls can be so blind. This is the same girl who was told they have no relationship and yet she is throwing herself at him with every chance she gets. How disgusting! People are so different. My pride can’t allow me to do that.

“Roomie.” Matt calls as he runs his fingers through his hair tossling it.

“How gross! You decide to shag in the living room. On the couch! Eeew! How disgusting!”

“Hey Melanie? How nice to meet you again.” Ellaine says turning her naked body around to look at us. This girl is so shameless.

“Can you just cover yourself Ellaine? You are behaving in a slutty manner.” Matt bellows glaring at her.

Ouch! That must have hurt. But it’s true. Not only behaving. She is a slut.

“Don’t bother Ellaine. We are just going to my room. You can finish what you started.” I say stifling laughter.

“To your room? With him?” He asks pointing at Drake with his chin.

“Yeah. Sorry for the interruption. Next time call me and warn me in advance. I don’t want to walk in on naked people on the sofa again.” I say grinning making him glare at him.

“Not funny at all.” He is still glaring at me.

“Enjoy yourselves. Let’s go Drake. We have a lot of things to do.” I say smiling at him. He smiles back taking my hand as I lead him into my room.

He pins me on the wall once inside and kisses me hungrily. It catches me by surprise and I take long to respond. Wait. I hope he didn’t get turned on by those two. That can wait for now. I entangle my arms on his neck and kiss him back as he pulls me against his body. My whole body is on fire. He pulls away smiling at me but I pull him back against me making him grin. I crush my lips on his kissing him in a frenzy. He pulls away too soon. We both gasp for breathe smiling at each other.

“We take it slow baby.” He says grazing his thumb on my face.

“Sure. Let’s take it slow.” I bite my lip in embarrassment trying to fight back the urge to kiss him again.

We both sit on the bed trying hard to compose ourselves.

“Where is your guitar?” he asks lightening the tensed mood between us.

“Yes Matt. Harder!” we hear some moans outside and giggle.

“Those two are so loud.” He says covering his ears. “Get your guitar baby.”

“It’s in the closet. I will get it.”

I take the guitar biting my lip nervously. I’m still not composed. I long for more than a kiss. His kiss has left me yearning for more. I straddle myself beside him trying hard not to touch him. He crosses his legs straddling his guitar in his hands.

“I want to play your favourite song. Which is it?” he asks tucking a lose hair behind my hair.

“Dusk till Dawn.”

“Wow. That’s my favourite too.” He positions his guitar and starts strumming with his eyes darkened gazing at me. His voice gives me thousand feelings that I can’t decipher. I join in, strumming my guitar with passion, singing to the song as we smile at each other.

“s**t!” he throws his guitar down pulling me to him such that I’m lying on top of him.

He traces my lips with his fingers as the other hand strokes my hair. I want to kiss him so bad. We roll on the bed such that I’m now lying underneath him as he gazes darkly at me.

He leans down on me parting his lips and I part mine too longing for the kiss. His lips touch mine and we both curse when there is a knock on the door.

“Your roommate?”

“I guess so. I’m not opening…” Another knock interrupts me and I curse under my breath.

“Seems like he won’t give up. Just open it.” He says caressing my face with his fingers.

“I will be back.” I walk to the door cursing Matt and his ancestors for interrupting such a great moment. Matt is leaning on the wall outside my room grinning at me.

“You are disturbing me with your guitar and music thing. I want some peace of mind.”

What the f**k! This guy is something else.

“Says the guy who was being told to do it harder. Your moans were all over the house.” I cross my arms on my chest and glare at him daring him to say more.

“That’s something totally different.”

“Oooh really? How different?”

“So different. The neighbours will start complaining. You are singing at the top of your voices.”

“Really now?”

“Yap.”

“I think I should leave Mel.” Drake says joining us outside.

“Yeah, you should leave.” Matt says glaring at him. Why is he glaring at Duke?

“I wasn’t talking to you Matt. Was talking to Mel.” Drake glares back at him clenching his hands into fists.

“I was responding as the second owner of the house. This is our place musician. You don’t stay at people’s hostel that late.”

“It’s not late Matt.”

“It’s roomie. I need to lock the door.”

“What a lame excuse! I can lock it. I think I know how to do it.”

“Just let it go baby. I guess I will see you tomorrow.”

“Yeah, you will see her tomorrow.” Why the hell is he glaring at Drake?

Drake pulls me to him and kisses me. I entangle my arms on his neck and kiss him back his arm snaked around my waist.

“Ahem! That’s enough I guess. I will see you out musician.”

Drake kisses me on the forehead and walks to the door with Matt trailing behind him. He locks the door and comes back grinning at me. I pout glaring at him and walk to the kitchen. I need some water.

He walks into the kitchen and props himself on the counter gazing at me intently.

“So the musician is your newest boyfriend?”

“It’s Drake and yes. He is my boyfriend.”

“Since when?”

“Doesn’t really concern you, does it?”

“It does. I need to know who my roomie is bringing to the house. You never know. You might bring a thief in here next time. You change them daily.”

“And the ladies you bring here are pastors? Ooh please. Give me a break.”

I gulp down the water glaring at him. I think I need something stronger. Thanks God I bought my grocery. I open the fridge and take out a bottle of wine pouring some into a glass. I take a sip trying to ignore the intentive gaze I’m getting from him.

“You won’t share?”

“You have your own things, right?”

“Yap but I don’t have wine.”

“You can buy some but I’m not sharing.”

“Far from that, did you and your musician boyfriend do anything? Because I didn’t hear your moans. He doesn’t know how to do it. Does he?”

“The difference between us, you and Ellaine, Drake and I, is that you people are so loud in s*x. We do it softly.”

“So you did it?”

“yes. We we’re about to do it again and you brought your ass to my door interrupting us. How nice of you!” I say sarcastically taking another sip of wine. He grins goofily wetting his lips with his tongue. I gulp loudly at the sight. What is he doing? Trying to seduce me. Then it’s working a bit.

“So we are so loud?”

“Yeah, you two should tone it down a bit. You don’t need the neighbors to hear. Your girlfriend moans too much.”

“Mmmh! Are you jealous roomie?”

“Who? Me? Jealous? Why would I be?”

“Because you would give everything to be Ellaine.”

I pout and splash the wine on him glaring at him. Me jealous of Ellaine? She is a slut and I’m not.

“Ouch! What was that for?” he asks taking off his shirt and I suck in a deep breath when his torso is exposed to me. He has a killer body. I don’t want to go to description right now because I can’t describe it enough. I notice him grinning goofily and put the glass on my lips and curse when no wine comes out.

Shit! I have poured all the wine on him and in my gawking forgot there is no wine in the glass.

“You are ogling me roomie.”

“Because you are comparing me to Ellaine. We are two different people.”

“You are ogling me because I compared you to Ellaine?” he asks grinning.

“Yes. No. I mean not that. I poured the wine on you because you said I wish I’m in her shoes.”

“Do you notice you are stammering? Anyway, are you sure you are not jealous?”

“Why would I be?”

“Because you like me. Because you want me. I don’t know. You know it better.”

“You know what? You suck.”

“I know. Are you jealous?”

“ You are an asshole.”

“A handsome one. I’m here. Tell me what you want. You can have all this.” He says pointing at his body.

What the hell! The guts he has!

“I don’t like you. You are not my type.”

“Really now? Let’s see about that.” He steps down and walks towards me making me step back until I’m pinned against the wall.
