Chapter Eight

"So you guys are on talking terms now?" Eshika asked through the phone and I just hummed in response, still deep in thoughts about my earlier conversation with Ray.

"Why did you forgive him easily? You should have asked me for advice, Ridhi." She started to yell, making me roll my eyes.

"I don't know, babe. He was genuinely sorry and he even tried to make it up to me by doing the dishes and everything." I started to defend him and could hear her loud sigh from the other end.

"Alright, we will see. So, what about Simon? Has he called you yet?"

"No, I am pretty sure he must have totally forgotten about me by now." I scoffed, balancing my phone between my shoulders and my ears and continued to paint my toe nails.

"Maybe he is busy or something. Do not get distracted by Ray. Remember he is a fuck boy," she pointed out again and I could help but agree with her. No matter how hot he is or how sweet he tries to be, I can never imagine a future with him.

"Yeah, I know." I mumbled and just at that moment, I was getting a second call from an unknown number.

"Hold on, I'll call you back. Getting another call."

I quickly cut the call with Esh, without waiting for her response and attended the second call.

"Hello?"

"Hey, how are you doing?"

I scrunched my eyebrows in confusion, trying to figure out the owner of this deep rich male voice.

Could it be Simon?

I didn't want to be wrong by assuming so I decided to ask the person.

"Who is this?"

"Ouch! Has it really been that long? It's Simon. Trina's Roomate? Ring a bell?"

My lips broke into a huge smile and I immediately jumped from my bed in excitement, totally forgetting about my wet toe nails.

Great, I have do my nails all over again but it was totally worth it.

"Simon. Ofcourse, I remember. How are you?" I asked, hoping that was a chill 'I-haven't-been-waiting-for-your-call' response.

"I'm good. I've been so busy at work. Listen, are you free tomorrow?" he asked without beating around the bush.

"I guess so," I tried to keep my voice steady because I was freaking out inside.

"Cool. I wanted to ask if you would like to go to a movie and then we could get dinner or something,"

Oh my God!

A hot guy asked me out on a date!

My first fucking date!

I realised that I haven't given him a response still and came out of my trance state.

"Yes, of course. That would be great." I replied, trying to hold back my excitement.

"Perfect. I'll pick you up. Text me your address later,"

"Yeah sure." I couldn't stop smiling and heard the sound of the front door being opened.

Ray must be home. I stopped breathing and for a split second, I felt guilty for going on a date but dismissed that feeling immediately.

"FYI, this is a date, Ridhi." He added, making me chuckle a bit.

"Yeah, I am well aware of that. See you tomorrow then,"

"Can't wait. See ya." He cut the call and I finally let out a huge breath and sat down on the bed.

Was I being impulsive?

I've met this guy only once and I agreed to go on a date with him.

What if he is weird or creepy?

He can't be a bad guy. He is Trina's Roomate and he was really sweet when we met for the first time. I tried to convince myself that I wasn't crazy and I was doing the right thing.

"Ridhi?" I heard Ray's voice from the living room. Well, if I was being brutally honest with myself, I was more excited to go see my hot Roommate than Trina's Roomate right now.

I quickly checked my reflection in the mirror and found a girl, wearing a black tank top and a pair of white shorts, staring back at me with a confused look in her eyes. I usually change into tracks or sweatpants before coming out of my room but all my pants were in the wash and I had no choice but to go outside and face him in my extremely short shorts.

Oh, fuck it!

I've seen girls wearing way lesser clothes and roaming around in this apartment.

"Coming," I called out and walked outside to find him pulling out the Chinese take out food from the paper bags.

"Who were you talking to?" he asked, looking up to meet my gaze and his eyes went wide in shock as he took in my almost bare thighs and legs.

"I was on the phone with my friend's Roomate." I tucked my hair behind my ears, feeling shy under his scorching gaze.

"The friend with whom you had a sleepover?" he asked almost immediately, making me nod in response as I sat down on the couch.

"So is this friend a guy or a girl?"

"The friend is a girl, Katrina but her Roomate is a guy, Simon." I replied, observing his reaction but he showed no emotion and kept his gaze fixed to his food.

"Cool."

"Thanks for the food by the way. It's really good."

"Yeah, sure."

There was a long pause and neither of us spoke for awhile.

"How did the meeting go?" I asked, trying to make some small talk and had a slight deja Vu moment of when Simon tried to have small talk with me.

The only difference was that I wasn't trying to hit on him.

Or was I?

"Good. I got the project." He replied and continued to slurp on his noodles. I kept staring at those perfectly plump lips and wondered how it would feel like to have them pressed against mine. I licked my own lips involuntarily and swallowed hard.

"How was your day?" he asked, lifting his gaze and caught me staring at me. I choked on my own saliva and looked down at my food immediately. My cheeks burned in embarrassment and I squeezed my eyes shut as I coughed a couple of times.

"Are you alright? Let me get you some water." He stood up quickly and ran across the room to fetch a bottle of water.

Stupid Ridhi!

"Here you go," he handed me a bottle of cold water and his fingers brushed against mine slightly, sending waves of pleasure down my spine.

Would I feel the same way with Simon?

What if I don't feel like kissing him if he tries to kiss me tomorrow?

What if he forces me?

I took a sip of water and kept thinking about all the what if's which made me go crazy.

"So?"

"Huh?"

"How was your day?" he asked again and this time I was able to reply without choking or dying.

"Yeah, it was good. I was just working on my assignments and catching up with Eshika, my best friend."

"The girl who complimented my ass?" he asked with a huge smirk, making me blush yet again.

"Yes but she was just trying to be funny."

"Right." He let out a small chuckle and that's when I noticed a small dimple on his cheek which would have been hard to notice if I wasn't sitting closer.

Fuck!

Could this guy be any more adorable?

"Do you know about any online part-time jobs related to coding and stuff?" I asked, trying to change the topic and also to distract myself from his freakishly adorable smile.

"Yeah, I know a couple of sites. Why?"

"Well, I asked Trina about doing some part-time job and she suggested to search online and since you are good with freelancing, I thought of asking you." I explained in one go and he nodded in understanding.

"I could help you register in a couple of website and you can get paid well for simple web designing and stuff like that,"

"That's perfect." I clapped my hands in excitement. This would be great to earn some extra bucks and also save up.

"Grab your laptop after we eat so that we can get to work,"

After dinner, we sat down next to each other on the couch and started to create my profile on a couple of websites. An hour passed by, we were feeling bored and then slowly one thing led to another.

Okay! We just ended up watching a movie on N*****x with no chill.

Yeah, I know. My dirty mind is also disappointed.

Halfway through the movie, I fell asleep on his shoulders and when I woke up in the morning, I found myself wrapped around his strong arms tightly and his soft breath was tickling my neck.

Oh my God!

We were on the couch, spooning each other and it felt so fucking good.

Should I wake him up or enjoy his warmth?

I chose the later and closed my eyes with a small smile.

A few moments later,

I felt him moving closer behind me and I tried to move in sync with him, pretending that I was still asleep and that's when I felt something hard poking against my ass. I brushed it aside assuming it was nothing but I felt it again between my ass crack and I felt my pussy tingling in response. There was a change in his breathing from behind and my eyes fluttered open immediately as realisation hit me.

Holy Fuck!

Was he having a hard-on?

"Oh my God! Ray, let me go." I tried to free myself from the tight grip as I was feeling all hot and bothered.

"What?! Fuck, stop moving." He moaned in his husky morning voice which was clearly not helping the situation.

Fuck me!

"We fell asleep on the couch and you are having a--that thing--Fuck, it's getting late." I used all of my force to get out of his grip. I felt his arms loosen up a bit and I jumped from the couch immediately, pushing my hair away from my face.

"What time is it?" he asked, rubbing his eyes and I looked up at the clock which was hanging on the wall to my left side.

"It's 7 am," I replied and noticed him, running his fingers through his messy hair. He remained silent for awhile before standing up, his height towering me.

"Ummm...I'm heading to my room."

That was all he said before going back to sleep in his room while I was still trying to calm my poor virgin pussy in vain.

Fuck, that was so close and are we not going to talk about this too?
