I stood up straight, but before I could turn, Alec moved closer and greeted me, his warm breath fanning over my skin. He surprised me by wrapping his arms around my waist. My body stiffened, it was like my lower abdomen was on fire.

My whole body warmed up like an engine that had just been turned on. I could feel the heat radiating from his and spreading all over my vulnerable and weak one. My body felt alive, and I actually like it.

"I am really sorry for ditching you, Lynn." He whispered and at that time, my throat was totally dry so I couldn't say anything but nod. Several emotions were swirling all over me and I did not want to ruin the sweet moment. It felt so good having him very close forcing me to ignore all his bad qualities. Those had suddenly vanished into thin air, leaving me staring at one of the most wonderful specimens that had ever been created.

I didn't know where it was all going but I was up for anything as long as it involved Alec. He was a d!ck but he could be rea

    Lynn’s POVI didn't like leading boys on and disappointing them later. I thought it was better if I ended whatever it was at the start before it was too late. When you don't see a future with someone, better tell them before they've fallen to hard making it hard for them to let you go.As time goes by and they get more attached to you, it becomes harder to let them go, especially if you have a conscience. I had one, and if I let things go on, I would find it hard to pull away.I had to let someone go. I didn't have any wish to go on. First of all I didn't understand what was going on between us, things weren’t clear. I couldn't say it was a relationship because we had never talked about that and we never referred to each other as boyfriend/ girlfriend. And we weren't friends for benefits because we had never slept with each other and I not want to be anyone's friend for benefits. That wasn't something I could agree to even if there was only one man left in the universe.I didn't want

    Lynn’s Pov"No girl should be treated like trash..." said the player.That was ironic coming from Alec, the player who didn't quite treat girls like they were of any use. I tried to stop myself from laughing but failed so I disappeared to the kitchen hoping he wouldn't follow me. That was surely the most ironic thing I had ever heard."Lynn," Alec called out."What's it?" I asked from the kitchen, holding in giggles that were threatening to burst out."Wait, I'm coming." He said."I don't want you here," I yelled, before putting a hand over my mouth and laughing, making sure he could not hear."Really?" I could see him grinning as he walked into the kitchen."So," I began, glancing at him."Wanted to ask about something," The smirk on his face alerted me that this wasn't going to be easy. I was not going to like it."Go on," I put on my sweetest smile to show him that I wasn't scared of him."I noticed that you've been acting weird since I kissed you. May I know why?"Ever since we ki

    Lynn Harris"Why did you call me back?" Alec smirked.I was seated on my bed, with my back against the wall while holding a pillow. Alec sat on the edge of the bed and looked expectantly at me."They say never think people like you because they're nice to you," I stated proudly. "Sometimes you're just an option when they're bored. Know what that means?""Oh please," Alec chuckled. "If it was just boredom, you'd have opted for other things like read a book or something.""I wanted a human boredom reliever and since you're the only one around,I had to take the chance.""Well, can I start relieving you now?" Even without looking at him, I could feel that he was already grinning. He got me there."You don't have to do anything. Just talk to me."I regretted that as soon as I said it."Really? So does that mean the sound of my voice turns you on? Interesting. If my voice alone gets you all worked up, then..."I couldn't let him finish. "You know I didn't mean it like that.""What did you m

    I put on a little black dress, which ended just above my knee and four inch dark red heels then applied some makeup on my face. I picked up my purse and joined the guys.Alec's friends had come with a car so we had two rides to the venue. When we got outside, we had options of choosing where to sit. I wanted to go with Alec because he was the one I knew best and could trust.He was a bad boy which meant his friends weren’t any better. The only difference was that I knew him, but had no idea about the other guys. I could trust him. So far, he hadn’t tried to force himself on me or done anything scary to me."Who goes with me?" Alec asked getting into the driver's seat of his car. He looked at his friends, waiting."I think you can go with her," Silver said glancing at me. "She doesn't know any of us and seems quite scared.""Fine," Alec said as I headed to the passenger side. This wasn't going to be a peaceful ride, and I could feel it."Get in before I change my mind," He ordered but

    I had not seen Chris for some good time and was quite happy to see him. There was a person I knew in the room. I could even dance with him and try to have fun though I had already started regretting why I'd come."Chris?"He was seated lazily on a couch looking really miserable. Guess he was high already yet I hadn't drunk anything. This looked like the only party I wasn't going to enjoy. I always had my friends in all the parties I had attended."Hey, where have you been?" He said getting up and hugging me. He reeked of alcohol so I pulled away really fast."I should be asking you that question.""Oh you were so busy messing up with Ross that you didn't even bother to ask about me," That hurt but I let it slide. It was not the right time for confrontation."I'm asking now.""My class had a study trip which lasted a week. Just got back today." He eyed me. "So how come you're here. Who brought you?""My roommate," I said matter of factly."He is such a gentleman," Chris said, sarcastic

  • Despicable Roommate   Deep trouble

    Lynn’s POVI slept very well.That was one of the best nights I'd ever had. Sleeping next to someone does make a really big difference as studies have shown. When I was with Alec, sleep came softly, stealing me before I started worrying about everything I had ever done wrong in my life. I didn’t have to lie on bed for hours waiting for it to overcome me. It came, took over and the night moved smoothly.I woke up to some noise and immediately opened my eyes only to receive a very pleasant surprise.Two girls and one boy standing in front of the bed. I covered my head when I realized I was in Alec's room. What the hell. When no one said anything, I let my face out.There he stood, a smirk plastered on his face with two girls smiling uncontrollably. They got me this time."Morning baby," Alec greeted, happily. "How was your night?""Not so bad," I said, hiding a smile."Get out of bed!" Kari hollered, getting the blanket off me."What for? It's too early." I wondered why they had come so

    I didn't see Kari in class on Wednesday but didn't worry so much about it because I thought it could have been caused by her addiction to Ron. She wanted to be around him all the time it was annoying. When Kari met Ron, she forgot about everything else. She was so deeply in love that she would do anything that pleased him even if it meant throwing away her life.Just as I got out of campus, Jen called me saying I needed to be in her room as soon as possible. I didn't take it seriously because we always told each other so even when there was nothing really urgent. I kept walking and she called me again so I decided to get a cab, in order to get there quickly. She didn't tell me what it was all about.When I opened the door, my eyes landed on a crying Kari and lots of stuff in the living room. The boxes and suitcases belonged to Kari.

We had been joking about it on Sunday. Just because good for nothing Ron got tired of Kari didn't mean that Alec had to get out.After all Kari left and ignored me when I complained.

  • Despicable Roommate   The journey

    Lynn’s POVAs I walked through the door of the cozy restaurant, I spotted Alec immediately siting at the bar. He had wanted to pick me up but I had insisted on getting there by myself so I had taken a taxi. Alec’s face lit up when he saw me and he stood up, a broad smile spreading across his handsome face. He was looking so damn good. He walked over to give me a hug. “You look amazing,” he said.I smiled. “You too.”We made small talk as we waited for our table. When it was ready, a waitress came and led us there. After getting our orders, she went to the back. The restaurant was filled with the sound of clinking glasses and a low hum of conversation. Our table was by the fireplace which provided a warm glow to the room. “I love this place,” I said, taking a sip of red wine. “We should come here more often.”Alec nodded in agreement, taking a bite of his steak. “The food is perfect and the ambience is very relaxing. I’m hooked and we will definitely return to this place.”I picked u

    Lynn’s POVWe were all eating at the table. While Jen and Kari were chatting happily, I was fidgeting nervously with my hands as I tried to gather the courage to tell them what was on my mind. I knew that this was not going to be an easy conversation. After a lot of internal conflict, I took a deep breath and blurted out. “I’m getting back together with Alec.”They looked at me in shock.“Are you sure that’s a good idea?” Jen asked. “I mean, considering everything he did to you. You were pretty hurt and I don’t want to see you get hurt like that again.”I nodded. “It’s not going to be easy, and I don’t think everything will always be perfect, but Alec and I are willing to work through our problems, and start over.”Kari chipped in. “What about all the times he hurt you? Don’t you think you deserve better?”I sighed. “You guys don’t know the whole story.”“What’s the whole story?” Jane inquired. “Tell us so we can understand why you would choose to do something like this.”I told the

  • Despicable Roommate   The talk

    LynnThe next Saturday was cold and rainy. I was curled up on the couch with a cup of coffee and a blanket. Kari and Jen had gone to a seminar and I was all alone. I couldn’t stop thinking about Alec. As the rain pounded against the windows of my apartment, I remembered all the good times Alec and I had shared. The way he used to make me laugh, the way we spooned when it was cold, the way he held me when I was upset and the way he always kissed me softly before going to bed.Tears rolled down my cheeks as I wished I could turn back time and fix things. However much I tried, I could not stop thinking about Alec. I buried myself in studies during the week, thinking that it would help get him off my mind but it did not work. I missed him, and I needed him. I couldn’t stop hating myself for ruining every good thing that came my way. I unlocked my phone and scrolled through the beautiful pictures we had taken together. Feelings of longing and sadness washed over me.Deciding that I had had

  • Despicable Roommate   Relaxation

    LynnIf I was going to see Alec and try to convince him to take me back, I needed to look my best. I was not very good at makeup but I had to try. I had recently started experimenting while watching tutorials online. Now was the time to put those skills to use. I sat at the vanity, and observed my face. There were dark circles under my eyes, probably due to all the crying I’d been doing since Alec and I broke up. I was a mess and was counting on the make up to make me look like a living person.After applying primer to my face, I opened my makeup kit. I applied foundation, blending it carefully and making sure I covered the entire face evenly. Next, I applied a thick layer of concealer under my eyes to cover the dark circles. I lined my eyes with black eyeliner to create a smoky look. After adding some mascara, I applied red lipstick and finished of the look with some bronzer to add warmth to my cheeks.When I was sure I looked presentable enough, I stood up and took one last look at

    Lynn’s POVAlec had blocked my number. That was the only reasonable explanation for that. Alec was one person whose phone was always on. I fell back on the bed as my eyes moistened. I thought I had lost him forever. After a long crying session, I wiped my face and went out of the bedroom. The moment I opened the door, the smell of pancakes assaulted me. It felt so good waking up to breakfast prepared by someone else. This was something that Alec would never do, and neither would lazy Kari. Frowning, I went to the kitchen to find out who was saving our hungry a**es.“Good morning, Lynn.” Jen yelled. She was wearing a black apron under a white t-shirt and blue jeans.“Good morning,” I said. “Didn’t know you slept over.”“How could you know when you ignored all of us and locked yourself in the room before the party ended? What happened to you?”“I was not feeling great.”“Didn’t that walk help? You should have just drunk more beer. It would have made sleeping easier. You look like you di

  • Despicable Roommate   Confrontation

    Lynn’s POVKari had only been back for two days but she had turned the apartment into one of those you see in décor magazine pages. The apartment looked so neat and perfect, and there was no mess. It was back to the way it was pre-Alec. I had enjoyed living with Alec but having to do most of the organising by myself had been a little draining. It was a relief to see someone else putting things in order.The apartment looked livelier than it had been before. A few of our other friends had been invited to the small party we were having. It was a reunion and reconciliation party, an idea that Kari came up with. She wanted to apologize to me in a proper way. According to her, having a reconciliation party was the proper way.Kari’s parties were organized and pretty tame, unlike those that Alec had organized. The atmosphere was cool and the music soft. I realised I had missed these kind of parties a lot. Most of Alec’s friends were loud and boisterous, yet I preferred to mingle with calm a

  • Despicable Roommate   Lifestyle

    Alec’s POV Slowly pushing open the door to my new apartment, I took a deep breath. I stepped inside and was immediately struck by how small and cramped everything looked. The kitchen was barely bigger than a closet and the living room was crowded with a couch, coffee table, and TV stand that barely fit in the space. I hated the place but it was the only apartment I could find on short notice, which was not too far away from the college campus. I dropped my duffel bag on the floor and headed towards the bedroom. I shook my head when I saw that it was just as cramped as the rest of the apartment, with a twin size bed taking up most of the room. There was a desk squeezed into the corner and a small window that overlooked the quiet street below. That was the only good thing about the apartment. It was in a quiet place. I sighed and flopped down on the bed. I was not used to living in such a small spaces and couldn’t help but feel a little overwhelmed. But I reminded myself that it was

    Jessie’s POVPushing hair off my face, I stood up and went to answer the door, wondering who had the guts to show up so early in the morning. I threw the door open and gasped when I saw who it was. Alec Warton was standing at my door looking like a dishevelled mess. He did smell kind of funny too.“Please come in,” I said with a sweet smile. “It’s good to see you, Alec.”He raised his hand to slap me but I caught it just in time. It seemed like he had not been eating well because his hands had no energy that day. “Why did you kiss me? Did you know that Lynn was coming down the stairs?”I chuckled. “Of course, I did. I knew that she was coming. I love you so much, but I know you were not going to see it until you broke up with her. You should be thankful I did what I did because it has shown you what type of person Lynn Harris is. She didn’t even listen to you, but ran away to the nearest guy for help. She didn’t give you a chance to explain yourself. Even criminals deserve a fair tri

  • Despicable Roommate   Appreciation

    LynnThree days later, I was still not talking to Alec. He had called me so many times but I rejected his calls and ignored his messages. The worst part was that he was still denying it and it made me very angry. Had he been ask in for forgiveness, I might have softened up although I was not sure I’d forgive him. Once a cheater, always a cheater.I had always heard people speak of heartbreak like it was terrible thing, and always laughed it off. I thought it couldn’t be that bad, after all there were so many other dating options. It was during that time that I realized that heartbreak was not a joke. It was something very far. The pain was extreme and it hurt so bad. I spent the first two days cooped up in Katherine’s guest room crying, eating and sleeping. This was the first time I was out in the sun.
