Love The Roommate

Chapter 10

I opened the door slowly, not wanting to wake Alex if he is asleep.

I mean, it's eleven forty give. Maybe he is asleep. If he is, I will talk with him tomorrow.

The room was dim as I closed the door slowly behind me.

And Alex was there in bed, covered with a light blanket.

I stared with a sad expression on my face. What will I even tell him? I don't know.

I slowly pulled off my shoes, put my jacket jeans quietly in my dresser and got my pajamas. I started changing, my eyes on Alex on fear he would wake up.

I laid on bed when I finished changing and pulled up my hair in a bun.

I stared at the ceiling as I laid there in silence.

"I like you," I whispered as I continued staring at the ceiling.

"I really like you. I am so sorry for declining you when you asked me. I am so sorry for being a fool. Yes, I like Kelvin. But I like you more. And today I left him and came to you. I told him that I like you more. I wish- I wish that maybe you could give another chance. I would be so grateful. Because I really like you. And I am so happy that you and I got paired to be roommates together. I couldn't ask for another one. As I like you. I like you, Alex. I like the roommate."

I finished my convincing whispers as I still continued staring at the ceiling.

"You aren't a fool, Jess."

I turned around only to find Alex wide awake as he stared at me.

"I- I am sorry to wake you."

"I wasn't sleeping." He smiled. His face indeed didn't look asleep.

Oh my-

"You- you didn't see me change, did you?" I asked, feeling nervous.

"You are lucky I controlled myself. I really wanted to watch the show." He chuckled.

"Shut up." I grinned, and he grinned back in the dim.

"And yes. I am so happy that you and I got paired to be roommates together. I couldn't ask for another one. As I like you too. I like you, Jess. I like the roommate." Alex said my exact words as he smiled softly at me.

"Really?"

"Yes, and if you don't mind. I want to go out with you on a date." He said.

"Absolutely yes!" I said excitedly.

"And Jess?"

"Yes?"

"Thanks for leaving Kelvin for Me."

"I like you more," I shrugged.

"It pleasures me to hear." He said, sounding like a gentleman. Which actually, he kinda is.

"So, date next week?" He asked.

"I can't wait!" I answered cheerfully.

He chuckled and stood up, revealing a bare chest as he walked towards me in only black pajama trousers.

I stared at his beautiful muscled chest as he stood in front of me. NôvelDrama.Org © content.

"I just want to sleep next to you." He said as he scratched the back of his neck.

I smiled and moved on the bed, leaving him a space.

He got in and pulled me closer to him as he put his arm around my waist.

Seriously, I don't know how to describe how safe and loved I felt right now.

"Goodnight, Jess." He whispered as he kissed the top of my head.

"Goodnight, Alex."
