SUGGESTING TO BE ROOMMATE

Princess:

After last week's event, we returned back to school activities. It wasn't easy because of the exam starting soon, maybe next month.

After that day, I didn't waste time calling Desire's phone number. He picked up immediately, as if he was contemplating calling me too. We talked about a lot of things... he makes me feel good.

We agreed to meet again, which we did... we met on a regular basis, and I enjoyed his company. We became friends.

During our discussion, I found out about him... he told me everything, including how a group of boys disturbs him a lot to join the secret cult society, which he rejected totally, but they kept on frustrating his life, and he can't do anything about it.

I feel bad and don't know how to save him from the hands of those guys. But today, I will talk to him about the solution. I have decided he should leave the hostel and live with me... I think that is the best idea and solution.

Finally, we met, and I told him about my idea. "Are they still disturbing you?" "They won't give up on me until I join them... and I don't want to."

"I suggest you start staying with me, they won't look for you at my place."

"What? You want me to live with you, you're not serious."

"Am serious, and that's why I'm asking you to please come live with me."

"Why? Why do you want me to stay with you in your lodge... don't you have trust issues?" "As what?

As my roommate, don't you trust yourself?"

He scratched his hair. "It's not like that, Where have you seen a guy and girl staying together as roommates apart from them being in a relationship?" "Please don't say that again... such things don't happen."

I asked again, "Don't you trust yourself?" "I have siblings that school abroad, and I heard from them that males and females not in a relationship can stay in the same apartment as roommates."

"I care for you and don't want anything to happen to you. You're my bestie, and we know each other better... so do you think something can happen between us?" He shook his head.

"Princess, you're so ridiculous... seriously, you're unbelievable, I trust myself, but...you don't go around telling guys to be your roommate, You don't know who is who... you're so innocent."

"I don't go around looking for a random person's to be my roommate, you're not someone else... you're my bestie." "Moreover, you can't just live in my house without rules guiding us... you know me better."

"I'm not like other girls that behave ladylike." "So what? I don't have money to buy my bed and other stuff." "We share... that's what friends do, right?" Hahaha.

"You don't mean it... you want us to sleep on the same bed... like every time... Haaa... don't try this with other guys."

"Like as if you haven't been to my apartment and stayed on my bed."

U don't have to compare that moment with living like a damn roommate

"I will if you don't agree... you told me that your friend Peter is also having the same problem... I think he won't disagree if I present this idea to him."

"You are joking... on your bed."

"I only sat down on it or lay on it as a visitor... I didn't stay over."

"Okay, I'm a doctor, and doctors care... we don't want anything to happen to people."

"So, are you accepting the idea or not... or should I?"

"Accepted... but won't your parents say anything if they find out that you allowed a man to stay with you in your room?"

"My bestie... they won't find out anything... my parents don't have time for such... they have a lot to care about... if I need anything, they won't come here, but rather will send my nanny or anyone else working for them to bring it."

"Your parents are rich, but won't your nanny or whatever inform them about me?" "Please stop asking me all these questions...

I'm asking because of our sake... you don't know what you're doing."

"Don't worry, I can handle everything... I just want you to be safe, okay."

"Okay... but

no 'but'... just pack in anytime... not anytime... pack in tomorrow."

He chuckled. "You are something else...

is it something you can't imagine?" "Well, I'm full of surprises."

"Yeah, you are."

We laughed and talked more. I love his smile... I can't get enough of his smile. I really love this guy, and I don't know if he feels the same for me or just casual.

I won't scare him away if he doesn't feel the same... if it's friendship, so be it, instead of losing him or breaking what we share.
